Therefore, the Government presented insufficient evidence of the existence of the conspiracy it alleges Castro-Avalos facilitated, and we REVERSE his § 843(b) convictions. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. 1 . Even if the Government had argued that Castro-Avalos facilitated Ruiz-Castro’s wider conspiracy to distribute, its evidence is insufficient to prove that he ""knowingly or intentionally facilitated” that conspiracy. See United States v. Martin, 599 F.2d 880, 888-89 (9th Cir.1979) (), overruled on other grounds by United States ### Response: holding that purchase of drugs alone does not constitute facilitation of a conspiracy to distribute within the meaning of 843b " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Jay Deck, ¶ 1. In that survey, respondents were read the sentence “We have pledged a minimum of 1.5 million dollars worldwide to charity as a/in tribute to the beloved Princess Diana,” and were then asked “What does this sentence mean to you?” and “When the sentence refers to charity does any particular charity or organization come to mind?” Id., ¶ 2. Aggregating responses across both questions, only 6.9% of respondents said they thought money was being donated to “a/the Princess Diana fund; the Princess Diana trust fund; the Princess Diana organization; Diana or Princess Diana’s/her charity.” Id., ¶ 3. “[S]urvey evidence clearly favors the defendant when it demonstrates a level of confusion much below ten percent.” Sara Lee Corp. v.

See, e.g., In re Johns-Manville Corp., 7 F.3d 32, 34 (2d Cir.1993). Other courts have held that jurisdiction extends to proceedings designed to interpret, enforce' or aid the operation of the reorganization plan. See, e.g., In re Erie Hilton Joint Venture, 137 B.R. 165, 170 (Bankr.W.D.Pa.1992). We, however, need not decide the general scope of a bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction following the confirmation of a plan, for at a minimum it would have jurisdiction over a case otherwise within its jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1334 if, as here, the court has reopened a case after confirmation and converted it to a Chapter 7 case. See Walnut Assocs. v. Saidel, 164. B.R. 487, 493-94 (E.D.Pa.1994) ().

Id. at 75, 470 P.2d at 243 (emphasis added). The Stewart court explained that it “essentially” adopted the rule in Restatement (Second) of Torts (hereinafter Restatement (Second)) § 402A (1977). Stewart, 52 Haw. at 75, 470 P.2d at 243. We initially note that, notwithstanding its obvious significance in the rule pronounced in Stewart, the issue of substantial change does not apply in every case. With respect to newer products, for example, the issue hardly arises. See, e.g., id., 52 Haw. at 78-79, 470 P.2d at 244-45 (). Moreover, the issue has limited significance ### Response: holding that given the relatively unused condition of the car there was sufficient evidence to withstand a directed verdict in favor of the manufacturer and distributor " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: sufficient evidence for a factfinder to conclude that Sonic’s proffered reasons for terminating him are false. While this does not lead to the automatic conclusion that Sonic’s decision was based on Israel’s age, it does create an “inference” that Sonic might be “cover[ing] up a discriminatory purpose.” Id. at 133, 147, 120 S.Ct. at 2108. Israel offers evidence of a statement made by a member of Sonic’s management that he might be too old to change. Sonic argues that this comment, if even, made, was not made by the decisionmaker in this case and was in December, three months before Israel was terminated, and, therefore, too far-removed from the decision to fire Israel to be considered evidence of ageism. See, e.g., Standard v. A.B.E.L. Serv., Inc., 161 F.3d 1318 (11th Cir.1998) ().

The affidavit states, in effect, that an undisclosed informant said drugs would be at a certain residence at an unspecified future date and time. Based on the affidavit, the informant did not report having been inside the residence, having seen anyone purchase or sell drugs inside the residence, or having seen anyone using drugs inside the residence. Neither the affiant nor the informant reported having witnessed a drug transaction in the residence or a drug transaction involving anyone who was there or resided there. The affidavit contains no statement which asserts that anyone saw drugs in the residence or on a person at the residence. See Janis v. Commonwealth, 22 Va.App. 646, 653-54, 472 S.E.2d 649, 653 (1996) (), aff'd en banc, 23 Va.App. 696, 479 S.E.2d 534 ### Response: holding that the affidavit gave absolutely no indication that the fruits of criminal activity would probably be found at that location rendering the officers belief in probable cause based solely on the affidavit objectively unreasonable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: was multiplieitous, any prejudice Petitioner may have suffered was cured when the Arizona Court of Appeals vacated Petitioner’s conviction and sentence on conspiracy to commit escape.

Davenport, 519 F.3d 940 (9th Cir.2008) (finding that offense of possessing child pornography was lesser included offense of receipt of child pornography, and thus entering judgment against defendant on separate counts for receiving child pornography and possessing child pornography was multiplieitous, in violation of Fifth Amendment’s prohibition of double jeopardy and remanding to the district court to vacate defendant’s conviction on one of the two counts and allowing that it be reinstated without prejudice if his other conviction should be overturned on h Cir.1978) (per curiam) (). • In this case, the Court of Appeals found ### Response: holding that consecutive sentences imposed on multiplieitous counts two counts of conspiracy for one drug smuggling enterprise violated double jeopardy clause " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: condition was present for such a period of time so as to constitute constructive notice of the hazard. Anderson v. St. Thomas More Newman Ctr., 287 Minn. 251, 253, 178 N.W.2d 242, 243-44 (1970). But speculation as to who caused the dangerous condition, or how long it existed, warrants judgment for the landowner. See Bob Useldinger & Sons, Inc., v. Hangsleben, 505 N.W.2d 323, 328 (Minn.1993) (affirming grant of summary judgment where nonmoving party engages in mere speculation and conjecture); Messner, 238 Minn, at 413-15, 57 N.W.2d at 661-62 (grant of judgment notwithstanding verdict proper where there was no direct evidence as to how a banana peel came to be on the floor, or how long it had been there).

Therefore, the court shall analyze Tucker’s Title VII and CFEPA retaliation claims together. 2 . There is no dispute that Tucker’s termination constitutes an adverse employment action. Therefore, the court need only discuss the other three elements of Tucker’s prima facie case. 3 . Even Tucker's memorandum of law is muddled when making the distinction between these two clauses. 4 . The parties do not discuss whether a CHRO action constitutes ""an investigation, proceeding, or hearing” under Title VII, and it is not clear to the court what the specifics were of Pecoraro's CHRO complaint. The court notes, however, that a CHRO action, although proceeding before a state, not federal, agency, can nevertheless be brought pursuant to bo p. 61, 64 (D.Ohio 1977) ### Response: holding that whether an employee decides to assist the charging party or refuses to assist the employer the employer may not retaliate against the employee because this decision of the employee constitutes participation in an investigation or proceeding under title vii " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: duty are ripe. Proof of actual damages is not an element of Tribune Publishing’s breach of contract claim. See, e.g., Nappe v. Anschelewitz, Barr, Ansell & Bonello, 97 N.J. 37, 477 A.2d 1224, 1228 (1984). “[W]henever there is a breach of contract, ... the law ordinarily infers that damage ensued, and, in the absence of actual damages, the law vindicates the right by awarding nominal damages.” Id. A “breach of a contract is per se a legal injury from which some damage will be inferred, and, in the absence of proof of actual damage arising from such breach, the plaintiff is entitled to nominal damages.” Car & Gen. Ins. Corp. v. Davimos, 12 N.J. Misc. 569, 173 A. 150, 151 (1934), aff'd, 114 N.J.L. 192, 176 A. 320 (1935); see also Culver v. Dziki, 123 N.J.L. 66, 8 A.2d 51, 52 (1939) ().

On the other hand, the legislature recognizes that while a private party may readily be held liable for his torts within the chosen ambit of his activity, the area within which the government has the power to act for the public good is almost without limit, and therefore government should not have the duty to do everything that might be done. Section 41—4—2(A); see also Caillouette, 113 N.M. at 497, 827 P.2d at 1311 (refusing to find a waiver of immunity based on wrongful death statute and Article II, section 4 of New Mexico Constitution because to do so would eliminate the principle of sovereign immunity). Cf. Torres, 116 N.M. at 383-84, 862 P.2d at 1242-43 ().

Huffman, 914 S.W.2d 394, 396[5] (Mo.App.1996). A point that violates Rule 84.04(d) preserves nothing for appellate review. Id. at 396[6]. Even so, we may exercise our discretion to review under the plain error standard if the contentions can be understood from the argument section of the brief. Id. In this case, we reviewed two of Meekers’ Point I claims of trial court error ex gratia. Because we do not understand Meekers’ contentions about the trial court’s overruling of their alternative “Motion For Exclusion From Trial” as a separate incident of error, we will not exercise our discretion to review under the plain error standard. Point I denied. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

The second alternative, that “the holder of any claim or interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or interest” is often referred to as the “absolute priority rule.” SOS’s Plan does not provide for equity holders to receive or retain an interest, because the Debtor, as a non-profit organization, has no equity holders. See e.g., In re General Teamsters, Warehousemen and Helpers Union, Local 890, 265 F.3d 869 (9th Cir.2001) (affirming bankruptcy court’s holding that a labor union, which was a non-profit entity, had no equity holders and that, therefore, the absolute priority rule was not applicable to its Chapter 11 plan); In re Wabash Valley Power Ass’n., Inc., 72 F.3d 1305 (7th Cir.1995) (), cert. denied sub nom.

Our de novo review of the record convinces us that “considering the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, a reasonable fact finder could have found all the essential elements beyond a reasonable doubt.” United States v. Turner, 25 M.J. 324, 324 (C.M.A.1987) (citing Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979)). But even if we were to find error, we are convinced any such error was harmless.

In its third letter dated May 27, 1997, appellee acknowledged its earlier commitment to appellant “to make no changes for one year.” However, appellee then proceeded, unilaterally, to terminate appellant’s status as an “installing dealer,” thereby reducing the amount of commissions he would receive on future sales. Although the writings in evidence do not expressly state the beginning and ending dates of a particular one-year period, we find there is legally sufficient evidence, albeit circumstantial, from which a jury could make that determination. See Templeton v. Nocona Hills Owners Assn., Inc., 555 S.W.2d 534, 539 (Tex.Civ.App.-Texarkana 1977, no writ) ().

However, in Bradford v. New York Times Co., 501 F.2d 51 (2nd Cir.1974), the Second Circuit stated that in light of subsequent decisions by the Court of Appeals of New York: We do not agree that Kristt represents the law of the state if it be construed to eliminate any inquiry into reasonableness because of some purported doctrine of ‘employee choice.’ The inquiry remains whether or not the restraint was reasonable and the contract was breached. 501 F.2d at 57. Although the Second Circuit in Bradford had apparently interred the much criticized “employee choice” rule, at least three district court decisions within the Second Circuit have since concluded that Kristt remains alive and well.

In reviewing the arbitrator’s construction of the phrase “immoral conduct,” the issue is not what we believe to be moral or immoral conduct in the philosophical sense. The issue before the arbitrator was whether Dixon’s conduct rose to the level of “immoral conduct” as that term is used in the CBA. The arbitrator evidently concluded that Dixon’s fabrication, though it demonstrated “poor judgment,” did not rise to the level of “immoral conduct” within the meaning of this offense. An arbitrator has discretion to decide whether particular conduct constitutes a dischargeable offense within the meaning of a CBA, as the First Circuit aptly explained in Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. Local 27, United Paperworkers Int'l Union, 864 F.2d 940 (1st Cir.1988) ().

PL’s Facts ¶ 10 (noting a deposition by Borgosz in the Vest action on October 1, 2004). If the bonds defaulted in September 2003 as alleged, the Moving Defendants were on notice of the suit at most thirteen months after the bond default, and therefore the timing of the suit did not cause prejudice.

Kan. 2007) (citing Hutton Contracting Co. v. City of Coffeyville, 487 F.3d 772, 788 (10th Cir. 2007)). Even so, the court notes that the Employment Agreement here contains no express waiver of the right to bring collective or class action claims in any forum. And, even if the Employment Agreement specifically included such waiver language, our court has addressed this issue, concluding that such provisions do not render an arbitration agreement unenforceable.

Regarding this claim of error, defendant does not take issue with the State playing the recorded statements during its own ease-in-chief. Defendant does, however, take issue with the fact that he was “not permitted” to recall T.S. Defendant first alleges violations of the Vermont Rules of Evidence. Defendant maintains that Rule 804a(a)(3) requires the child declarant to be available to testify. Defendant also cites Rule 806 for the proposition that if a hearsay statement is admitted, and the party against whom the statement has been admitted calls the declarant as a witness, he may examine the declarant “as if under c 4 Vt. 251, 958 A.2d 1179 (). ¶ 20.

Hood requirements were satisfied. As will be discussed below, in 1974, it was far from clear that a Constitutional right did not protect the information at issue in this case. Although the Constitutional law appears to have shifted before the institution of the present action, the very existence of the federal consent decree which purports to protect the information at issue in this case is enough to show that the plaintiff's claim is not ""wholly insubstantial and frivolous.” See Steel Co., 523 U.S. at 90, 118 S.Ct. 1003 (). 4 .

The plaintiffs amended motion for judgment asserts two counts against the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner (“Commissioner”): a declaratory judgment action pursuant to Virginia Code § 8.01-187 and a common law action to directly enforce the takings clause of Article I, § 11, of the Constitution of Virginia. Following oral argument on November 28, 2007, this Court sustained the Commissioner’s motion to dismiss Count II of the plaintiffs amended complaint. In a case of first impression, the Court held that Virginia Code § 8.01-187 provides the exclusive mechanism to obtain just compensation from the Commonwealth for damage to private property under Article I, § 11, of the Virginia Constitution. Cf. Chaffinch v. C. & P. Tel. Co., 227 Va. 68, 73, 313 S.E.2d 376 (1984) ().

A product is construed to be a ‘reasonable substitute for another when the demand for it increases in response to an increase in the price for the other.’ ”). Whether moist snuff tobacco is similar in character or use to loose leaf tobacco may be termed “functional interchangeability.” See, e.g., E.I. du Pont de Nemours, 351 U.S. at 399, 76 S.Ct. 994 (); United States v.

We have previously explained that we require a causal connection to justify considering evidence of a defendant’s background as a mitigating circumstance. See State v. Rienhardt, 190 Ariz. 579, 592, 951 P.2d 454, 467 (1997) (); State v.

But the state court proceedings in which such a claim is pursued are governed by the procedural law of the forum, in this case Indiana procedural law. Cf. Erie R. Co. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64, 78, 58 S.Ct. 817, 822, 82 L.Ed. 1188, 1194 (1938) (); Brill v.

Thus, the Appeals Notice does refer to the issue of representation before the court, even though it is not required by statute. Additionally, the notice sought by Cummings regarding the EAJA’s attorney fees provision might be misleading. Because the government’s position has been found to have been “substantially justified” under the EAJA even- when the government has lost on appeal, such a notice might give a claimant false hope that her attorney fees would be paid by the VA. See, e.g., Felton v. Brown, 7 Vet.App. 276 (1994) (); see also Pierce v.

Nov. 15, 2010) (“[I]t is not impossible to imagine some scenario in which a debt collector’s hanging up without leaving any identifying information might entail a violation of the statute [referring to the identification requirement] (for example, if the debt collector used some form of caller identification blocking device).”); but see, Glover v.

Id. at 328. The court found that review was inappropriate. Id. at 328-29. 3 . Various other courts have likewise limited the scope of § 8128(b). See, e.g., Czerkies v. United States Dep’t of Labor, 73 F.3d 1435, 1441 (7th Cir.1996) (en banc) (stating that ""[wjhen all that a claimant is seeking is benefits on the basis of an error of fact or law by the administering agency, judicial review is barred altogether”); Stephens v.

We assume that district judges in this circuit, who handle large numbers of wholesale-quantity drug cases each year, are familiar with these prices and require no further evidence unless the point is challenged. In short, because Nino admitted trafficking in a quantity of heroin with a wholesale value at least in the high six figures, that admission by itself provided a sufficient factual basis to support a preponderance finding that the proceeds realized by the conspiracy were at least $100,000.

An interpretation of the CPD Regulations that compels officers to enforce a littering ban in Honolulu cannot be correct. The fact that Moussa identified himself as a police officer, gave police-like orders, and showed his badge after the altercation—in other words, the fact that Moussa held himself out as a police officer to some degree—also does not mean that his actions in DuPage County were undertaken in service to the City. See Wolf v.

Chatha raises questions about whether the failure to satisfy Chapter 21⅛ administrative exhaustion requirement implicates trial court jurisdiction in a suit between private parties. See 381 S.W.3d 500, 510-11 (Tex.2012); compare Schroeder, 813 S.W.2d at 488 () with Henderson v.

The Court acknowledges that, with respect to the instant case, James and Sykes were actually decided many years after Mr. Johnson was sentenced. However, as Mr. Johnson points out, “at the time of his sentencing in 1993, the Ninth Circuit had already rejected a vagueness challenge to the ACCA” and further had “analyzed whether a federal statute qualified as a ‘crime of violence’ under § 924(c)’s residual clause without any constitutional concerns.” Opp’n at 3 n.5.

By conflating the standing requirements of prejudicial error and economic interest, Labatt would create a rule that, to an unsuccessful but economically interested offeror in a bid protest, any error is harmful. Under this radical formulation there would be no such thing as an error nonprejudicial to an economically interested offeror in a bid contest. We decline to adopt such a rule. Instead, we reiterate the established law in this circuit that nonprejudicial errors in a bid process do not automatically invalidate a procurement. Data Gen. Corp. v. Johnson, 78 F.3d 1556, 1562 (Fed.Cir.1996); Grumman Data Sys. Corp. v. Widnall, 15 F.3d 1044, 1048 (Fed.Cir.1994) (); Andersen Consulting v.

City of Columbus, 136 F.3d 1055, 1066 (6th Cir.1998). At the time Defendants adopted the alleged policies and customs about which Plaintiffs complain, decedent was not an identifiable victim. Plaintiffs acknowledge these policies and customs were “longstanding” and had been in effect “for years.” Thus, they were not aimed at decedent directly, and did not pose a threat of immediate and proximate harm to him. Rather they “presented a threat of an indefinite range and duration.” Ruiz, 299 F.3d at 1183. To be sure, Defendants’ policies and customs did not increase the danger to the public at large in any real sense, but rather to a defined group, namely, patients in the EMU.

A statute that is purely procedural is one that has to do with the steps that must be taken to enforce a right. Such a statute will be “construed as operating on all proceedings instituted after its passage whether the right accrued before of after that event.” Kelch v. Keehn, 183 Md. 140, 145, 36 A.2d 544 (1944). Because procedural enactments will not be applied so as to undo already concluded proceedings, see Holland v. Woodhaven Bldg. & Dev., Inc., 113 Md.App. 274, 287, 687 A.2d 699 (1996), they are retroactive in effect in the sense that they apply immediately to actions that already have accrued. See Roth v.

In doing so, the court should apply the “percentage of success factor” or the “totality of the litigation” test. Assuming the court finds either party prevailed, it must enter an award for a reasonable amount of attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees on appeal ¶ 38 Both parties ask for an award of attorney’s fees expended on appeal pursuant to the fee provisions in the Agreements. In light of our decision, neither party has yet “prevailed” in the litigation. We therefore deny both requests. See Desert Mountain Props. Ltd. P’ship v. Liberty Mut. Fire Ins.

MERS has disavowed any interest in the debt, including the right to receive payment or otherwise service the loan. Even to the extent MERS is an agent of the note holder, its rights and duties concern only legal title to the mortgage, not the note or beneficial interest in the mortgage. See Saunders, 2 A.3d at 295. Without a claim to the underlying debt, MERS therefore cannot exercise the power of sale, regardless of the language in the mortgage contract giving it this power. See Saurman, 292 Mich.App. at 328-29, 807 N.W.2d 412. That the mortgagor consented to this contractual language does not operate as a waiver of the law’s protection against foreclosure by the wrong entity. Cf. Henry v.

Except on leave of court, a movant is required to file and serve summary-judgment evidence at least 21 days before the time specified for the motion to be submitted to the trial court for decision. See TexR. Crv. P. 166a(c); Martin v. Martin, Martin & Richards, Inc., 989 S.W.2d 357, 359 (Tex.1998). Though the trial court did not grant the Brokers leave to file the Reply Evidence, it did not need to do so because the trial court took an action that made the evidence in question timely filed — it specified March 18 as the submission date for the Motion.

No affidavit referred to the penalty as a ""slap on the wrist,"" though the term was used by defense counsel in the motion and in oral argument. We conclude that these discrepancies are immaterial to our analysis, which applies to all of the versions of the juror's statements regarding the severity of, or the penalty for, vehicular eluding. 2 . At the hearing on the motion for a new trial, the prosecution presented two dictionary definitions of ""elude"" to the trial court, which indicate that eluding involves ""skill"" or ""trickery."" If the jury had viewed those definitions, it may have added those concepts as additional elements to be proven, increasing the prosecution's burden.

AS TO THOSE CLAIMS ONLY, you MAY have up to six years after the right of action first accrued in which to file a civil action.” Id.

It is this governmental action-the refusal to undertake an audit-in which the Appellant must show a property interest. He has not done this. Regardless of whether the audit is undertaken, Appellant will continue to be taxed at the same rate. Thus, he has shown no property interest in. the territorial auditor's refusal to audit the legislature. Appellant argues that his standing to bring suit as a taxpayer necessarily shows that he has a property interest which has been infringed. This argument is also misplaced. The mere fact that a person has standing to bring an action does not mean that they have a property interest at stake. The re 79 (9th Cir.), modified 812 F.2d 1097 (9th Cir. 1986) (); Punikaia v.

Depending on when the defendants’ allegedly improper actions took place, it is conceivable that some class members’ claims could be barred by the appropriate statute of limitations. The court also notes that the plaintiff’s claims had not been certified prior to the presentation of the settlement to the court. Addressing consumer claims such as this one as class actions secures a particular benefit for injured persons for a variety of reasons. However, it is far from certain that the plaintiff would have been able to establish those elements necessary for certification. Cf. Weinberg v.

Nor do we believe, on this record, that the district court violated separation of powers principles by improperly delegating Article III functions to the BOP. Durham has simply not shown any indication that the district court delegated any core judicial functions. Accord Montano-Figueroa v. Crabtree, 162 F.3d 548, 550 (9th Cir.1998) (); Mujahid v.

We have jurisdiction to review Osorio Sanchez’s constitutional challenge. See Jimenez-Angeles v. Ashcroft, 291 F.3d 594, 597 (9th Cir.2002). We deny the petition for review. Osorio Sanchez’s sole contention on appeal is that placing her in removal rather than deportation proceedings violated equal protection. This contention lacks merit. Osorio Sanchez was served with a Notice to Appear after April 1, 1997. Accordingly, the permanent rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act (“IIRIRA”) apply. Cf.

Given the psychologists’ testimony [at the 3.850 hearing] that Mills’ mental problems boiled down to being impulsive, it is purely speculative that the currently tendered evidence would have carried sufficient weight to abrogate the judge’s override of the jury recommendation. 603 So.2d at 486. The trial court also considered evidence of Mills’s childhood through testimony of his family members and the presentence investigation report. We hold that the district court correctly concluded that the failure of Mills’s lawyers to present mental health evidence as mitigating evidence and then- failure to seek mitigating evidence did not prejudice him.

In Martino, the plaintiff had slipped on a grape on the floor of the defendant’s store. As in the present case, the plaintiff presented testimony that produce frequently fell to the floor. Grapes were an especially pervasive problem, because the scale used to weigh the grapes was located across the aisle from the grape counter. Accordingly, grapes fell to the floor as customers carried them to the scale. The testimony also revealed that, as in the present case, an employee was required to keep the produce area, including the floor, clear of debris. In affirming the non-suit entered in favor of the defendant, the Supreme Court held the following: So far as this record discloses, the offending grape A.2d 691 (1989) ().

They declined to purchase the plaintiffs medical practice because they deny that any such contractual obligation exists, and that it is not in the economic interest of the hospital to do so. Finally, they explain that the hostility and acrimony that characterized the relationship between the hospital administration and the plaintiff over the years grew from the plaintiffs vituperative and dicta torial personality directed toward the medical and nursing staffs. These nondiscriminatory reasons are sufficient to shift the burden back to the plaintiff to show pretext. See Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 142-43, 120 S. ces, 30 F.3d 45, 47-48 (6th Cir.1994) ().

Thus, although some instances of prejudgment may present no instance of bias, evidence of a prejudgment certainly augurs strongly in its favor. {67} This idea of prejudgment as the line between administrative bias and impartiality explains our holdings in both Reid and Las Cruces Professional Fire Fighters. In Reid, the board member’s admitted statement of prejudgment required recusal. Whereas, in Las Cruces Professional Fire Fighters, the board member’s prior affiliation with the union was inadequate to create a bias. See In re Comm’n Investigation v. N.M. State Corp.

Day was obligated to “control” the “disposition” of those funds for paying the plans’ insurance premiums. Instead, Day absconded with the funds. Because the disposition clause contains no “discretion” requirement, it is irrelevant whether Day exercised “discretion” in his thievery. “[A]ny authority or control” is enough. Therefore, in light of ERISA’s statutory text and structure, we conclude Day was a “fiduciary,” regardless of whether he possessed “discretionary authority or discretionary control” over the disposition of the plans’ assets.

Although the jury imposed a death sentence in this case, the trial court vacated that penalty and the Commonwealth has appealed the court’s decision. Thus, we have before us a case in which the death penalty was imposed and then vacated, with the Commonwealth requesting that we re-impose the death sentence. In prior cases that involved collateral review, we have characterized matters in which a lower court vacated the death sentence as ones “in which the death penalty has been imposed,” thus triggering our review of all issues properly preserved on appeal.

Significantly, the court also noted that “evidence that the undertaking is for the plaintiffs benefit is a prerequisite to liability; a plaintiff who does not produce such evidence is not entitled to a jury instruction on this theory.” Alaskan Village, 720 P.2d at 947; see also Goddard by Goddard, 558 N.E.2d at 854-55 (). The instant case, however, is distinguishable ### Response: holding landlord was not liable because landlord had relinquished control despite landlords distribution of notices to residents telling them to keep their dogs tied or inside because evidence suggested that the reason for notice was that landlord had received complaints about barking and trash removal and not to protect others " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to the Government by history and -the Constitution.” Miller v.

Thus, although the Massey defendants’ practice involved their regularly conducting non-judicial foreclosures to enforce their clients’ security interest in mortgaged property, defendants were not acting as general “debt collectors,” unless they also took other actions, beyond those necessary to foreclose under the deed of trust, were regularly taken in an effort to collect a debt. In contrast to non-judicial foreclosures, which are intended only to enforce the lender’s security interest and not to collect the underlying debt, a typical judicial foreclosure usually does involve seeking a personal judgment against the debtor for a deficiency and hence would likely amount to debt collection. See McDaniel v. South & Assocs., P.C., 325 F.Supp.2d 1210, 1216-1218 (D.Kan.2004) (). In his affidavit, Massey acknowledges that ### Response: holding that the defendants actions in filing judicial foreclosure proceeding against mortgagor amounted to debt collection activity under the fdcpa and distinguishing decisions involving pursuit of nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings under a deed of trust from those in which a defendant has pursued judicial foreclosure proceedings which included seeking judgment on a note by filing a lawsuit in state court " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a)(1).

Adeniyi 912 F.2d 615, 619 (2d Cir.1990), it is likewise legal error for a court to take the unusual step of expressly abdicating the discretion that it has been duly entrusted by law to exercise. In the unusual circumstances with which we are presented, as in the situation where a court fails to recognize its authority to depart, our task is not to question the merits of a court’s discretionary judgment about the propriety of departure, but simply to ensure that the court actually makes the discretionary judgment that the law allows and expects it to make.

As to Miller’s health, the District Court accounted for the fact that Miller’s medical condition would make his incarceration more difficult. Indeed, the District Court stated that it would have varied upward more but for Miller’s health. Thus, the sentence was not substantively unreasonable. V The judgment of the District Court is affirmed. 1 . State and federal authorities have since revoked Miller’s registration as an investment adviser representative and have barred him from association with the securities industry.

See Stone, 188 Cal.Rptr. 647, 646 P.2d at 822. However, where the record is not clear as to whether the jury was deadlocked over acquittal, a greater offense, or a lesser-included offense at the time of discharge, the court must presume that it was the least serious lesser-included offense. See Tate, T183 A2d at 825-26; Castrillo, 566 P.2d at 1151-52. Thus, the retrial of the greater offenses would be barred by double jeopardy. Here, the record does not reveal the specific charges on which the jury was deadlocked. Based on Richardson's specific objection to retrial on first- and second-degree murder only, I would hold that double jeopardy bars retrial on those two offenses. See People v. Ortiz, 196 Colo. 438, 439, 586 P.2d 227, 228 (1978) ().

Daniels was sentenced to a term of incarceration of 210 months (17.5 years), followed by 2 years of supervised release. Because Daniels’s sentence does not exceed the statutory maximum for the offenses that she was found guilty of committing, Apprendi is not implicated, and the amount of laundered money for which Daniels was held responsible did not need to be set forth in the indictment, presented to the jury, and proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

II. Conclusions of Law The primary issue before the Court is whether Ewing’s prepetition security interest in virtually all of the Debtors’ assets, taken to secure payment of fees for bankruptcy and nonbankruptcy services, disqualifies him from serving as their counsel in this Chapter 12 case. A secondary issue is whether the Court should authorize compensation to Ewing for postpetition legal services provided to the Debtors. It is undisputed that trustees should be permitted to select their own attorney without interference from others. See In re Magna Prod. Corp., 251 F.2d 423 (2d Cir.1957); Matter of Market Response Group, Inc., 20 B.R. 151 (Bankr.E.D.Mich.1982) ().

Plaintiff has offered no response to Defendant’s argument on this issue. See Def.’s Reply, ECF No. [58], at 1-2. Plaintiff also has not asserted a “constructive discharge” claim or otherwise contended that her retirement was not voluntary. Upon review of Defendant’s arguments, the record as a whole, and the applicable legal authorities, the Court agrees with Defendant that Plaintiffs voluntary retirement precludes her from her requested remedy of reinstatement. See, e.g., Kalinoski v. Gutierrez, 435 F.Supp.2d 55, 72-73 (D.D.C.2006) ();, see also id. (citing cases).

After Congress enacted § 523(a)(1)(B), several courts considered whether a failure to file reports similar to the one § 13-409 requires constituted the failure to file “a return,” such that the corresponding tax liability would be excepted from discharge, and almost all of them determined that § 523(a)(1)(B) did not except the tax liability from discharge.

Subsequent to that BVA decision, the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (VCAA), Pub.L. No. 106-475, 114 Stat. 2096 (Nov. 9, 2000), was enacted.

Neither the regulation nor the Supreme Court has clearly established the specificity or level of detail that a notice letter must include. The regulation requires that the plaintiff provide enough information to permit the recipient to identify the dates of the violation, but does not specifically require the notice to contain those dates. See 40 C.F.R. § 135.5(a). Ideally, a plaintiff will identify a precise date, but if not, the range of the dates should be “reasonably limited.” California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v.

In State v. Woodson, supra, this Court set out the parameters to consider where a mistrial may affect an individual’s double jeopardy rights, when we said: “The double jeopardy prohibition against retrial for the same offense attaches in a jury trial when the jury is empaneled and sworn. See Illinois v. Somerville, 410 U.S. 458, 467, 93 S.Ct. 1066, 1072, 35 L.Ed.2d 425, 433 (1973); Blondes v. State, 273 Md. 435, 444, 330 A.2d 169, 173 (1975). Thus, after jeopardy attaches, retrial is barred if a mistrial is declared without the defendant’s consent unless there is a showing of ‘manifest necessity’ to declare the mistrial.

Other circuits have similarly concluded that defendants may not simply rely on the existence of an administrative review process to overcome a prisoner’s showing that administrative remedies were not available to him. In Hemphill v. New York, for example, the Second Circuit held that merely showing that grievance mechanisms are in place does not end the inquiry into availability where the plaintiff claims that threats by prison officials made the remedy functionally .unavailable to him. 380 F.3d 680, 687-88 (2d Cir.2004); see also Dillon v.

A search of the entire student body based on vague tips from unidentified students — where no follow-up investigation was made to determine who the actual perpetrators may be, how many students were estimated to be bringing pills into the school, or the nature and level of danger of the pills — was not an appropriate method of discovering the wrongdoers.

Taken as true, Tasciyan’s factual contentions demonstrate that her employer fired her two to two-and-a half months after she complained about perceived discrimination. Although this length of time is not insignificant, the Court declines to hold that two to two-and-a-half months is insufficient as a matter of law to prove causation. See Williams v.

Additionally, the appellee law firm argues that the “conditions” in Schedule B on which the Fiores rely were personal to Mr. Spivey, and not covenants running with the land.

It would be premature for this court to determine these issues at the present time. 3. No Waiver of Right to In Camera Hearing We next determine whether appellants’ failure to request an in camera hearing before the bankruptcy court constitutes a waiver of their right to one on remand. Although those asserting privileges in response to a subpoena generally are required to do so on a question-by-question and/or document-by-document basis, see In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 831 F.2d 225, 227 (11th Cir.1987), a blanket assertion does not waive later, specific assertions under all circumstances, see id. at 228 ().

Moreover, while causation relies heavily on certain facts and circumstances of a case, “temporal proximity between the two events, an intervening pattern of retaliatory conduct, inconsistent reasons by the employer for the adverse action, and differential treatment of other employers,” are pertinent factors to the causation element.

As we have said, the underlying policy of Rule 2 — 602(b) is the avoidance of piecemeal appeals. For this reason, the Court of Appeals and this Court have repeatedly cautioned trial judges that, in determining whether Rule 2-602(b) should be invoked, they “should balance the exigencies of the case ... with the policy against piecemeal appeals and then only allow a separate appeal in the very infrequent harsh case.” Diener, 266 Md. at 556, 295 A.2d 470 (emphasis added); accord Planning Bd. of Howard Co. v.

Kernan, 495 So.2d 275 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986) (same). There is an important reason for this. The failure to pay alimony may be coerced through the contempt powers of the court. A final judgment to pay alimony carries with it a presumption that the payor is currently able to do so. Martyak v. Martyak, 873 So.2d 405 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004) ().

Mrs. Madison also argues that even if the receiver had authority to consent to a search of the Colony Park premises, he did not have authority to consent to a search of her office, which she sometimes, but not always, kept locked. However, she never so much as alleges what, if any, incriminating documents were seized from her office, nor contends that she was prejudiced by the admission of any particular document.

At the violation of probation hearing in June 1995, no evidence was presented.

Reply at 89-90. The government argues precisely the opposite: with reference to her own affidavit, Juror No. 6 states (¶ 9) that she merely relied on personal experience when deliberating. Overwhelming caselaw in the Third Circuit and elsewhere clearly establishes that Juror No. 6’s conduct is perfectly permissible, and does not amount to “extraneous” information, even when that experience is rather unique and focused on the controversy at issue. The Third Circuit has made clear that jurors can and should draw upon prior life experiences and use them in the course of deliberations. Wilson, 170 F.3d at 395; Gereau, 523 F.2d at 151. Such conduct does not amount to bringing in extraneous information. Dickerson v. DiGuglielmo, 2004 WL 1465662, at *6 (E.D.Pa. June 29, 2004) (), adopted 2004 WL 1753258 (E.D.Pa.

[ninety days from the date of the issuance of the Notice of Deficiency], the deficiency ... shall be assessed, and shall be paid upon notice and demand from the Secretary.” 26 U.S.C. § 6213(c). Once an assessment has been made, the Government is entitled to pursue certain remedies, similar to those of a judgment creditor, in seeking satisfaction of the tax deficiency owed. See Bull v. United States, 295 U.S. 247, 260, 55 S.Ct. 695, 699, 79 L.Ed. 1421 (1935) ().

See United States v. Evans, 576 F.3d 766, 769-70 (7th Cir.2009) (Posner, J., concurring). Here, the judgment indicates that defendant was convicted of distribution of simulated crack cocaine. The Iowa statute of conviction, as noted above, covers distribution of both real and fake drugs; thus, if the judgment had been silent, it may have been permissible to look to the documents mentioned in Shepard to determine which provision of the statute defendant violated. But the judgment is clear — defendant was actually convicted of distributing fake drugs — so there is no need to look any further.

Co., 487 U.S. 655, 98 S.Ct. 2552, 57 L.Ed.2d 504 (1978); and those courts that have confronted the issue have reached conflicting results. Compare American Disposal Services, Inc. v.

The defendants claim that West and the trustees are absolutely immune from damage suits under § 1983 because they were aeting in their legislative capacities when they acted to approve an offer by the village to purchase the Lansing Bible Church property. Thus, the individual defendants claim to enjoy absolute legislative immunity under Lake Country Estates, Inc. v.

The Seventh Circuit recently stated that Romero, by holding that admiralty cases do not fall within the § 1331 federal question jurisdiction and thus (absent an independent basis for federal jurisdiction) cannot be removed under § 1441, necessarily concluded that admiralty cases were properly classified as “[a]ny other such action[s]” within the meaning of § 1441(b)’s second sentence and could not be classified as among the cases covered by the first sentence.

And, since those steps were implemented by the legislature, it is before the legislature that changes or additions thereto must be sought. The judiciary lacks the authority to sua sponte make those changes. In sum, we hold that the trial court had jurisdiction to afford Killion relief to the extent that the relief was not dependent upon the adjudication of a matter within the TWCC’s exclusive jurisdiction. Yet, it could not directly or indirectly adjudicate those issues within the agency’s exclusive jurisdiction. See Attaya v. Shoukfeh, 962 S.W.2d 237, 241 (Tex.App.—Amarillo 1998, pet. denied) ().

The trial court denied the motion. Because Arthur did not file a motion to compel further discovery from Harris following the November 21, 2008 hearing, Harris had no opportunity to urge his objections and motion for a protective order prior to being ordered to produce the documents sought by Arthur. We hold that in compelling discovery from Harris without requiring Arthur to identify specific discovery requests with which Harris had not complied and without having before it a motion to compel discovery from Harris, the trial court acted arbitrarily and without considering the discovery rules. See Tex.R. Civ. P. 215.1, 215.2, 215.3; In re Ford Motor Co., 165 S.W.3d 315, 317 (Tex.2005) ().

Parents point to several out-of-circuit cases to support their claim for “interim” relief. Although the stay-put provision does not directly authorize reimbursement for pre-decision expenses, courts may rely on the broad discretion contained in 20 U.S.C. § 1415(i)(2)(C) to require reimbursement if a hearing officer’s decision is inappropriately delayed.

Absent a waiver of sovereign immunity, tribes are immune from processes of the court. Nevertheless, Defendants argue that in light of Supreme Court decisions that have described an inherent limitation on tribal sovereignty, Public Law 280 must be read to grant jurisdiction to the states to execute a search warrant over the Tribe. See, e.g., United States v. Wheeler, 435 U.S. 313, 323, 98 S.Ct. 1079, 55 L.Ed.2d 303 (1978) (); Oliphant v.

The only issues on appeal related to the pre-arrival interrogation. Although in McClaskey this Court discussed Burbine in upholding the denial of the defendant's motion to suppress, it is not clear from McClaskey whether that case turned on the Fifth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, or some other provision. Because there is no mention of the Indiana Constitution, and no suggestion that any state constitutional issue was raised, McClaskey does not support the notion that Burbine has been incorporated into Indiana constitutional jurisprudence. 8 . This case is cited throughout the opinion as Moran v. State to avoid confusion with Moran v. Burhine, which is referred to simply as Burbine. 9 . See Brady v.

See Crawford v. Sprin-gle, 631 So.2d 880 (Ala.1993) (where statutes in pari materia are general and specific, the more specific statute controls the more general statute).

This was sufficient to raise a genuine issue of fact as to the fairness of allowing Smalley to assert the restrictive covenant. See Segerstrom v.

Here, the trial court determined that the relevance of Whitehorn’s testimony outweighed its prejudicial effect. We cannot say that this determination constituted error, much less error that was so prejudicial as to fatally infect the outcome of the trial. Richardson also contends that the court violated the Sixth Amendment by not allowing him to present the testimony of his guilt-phase counsel that she did not see Richardson threaten Whitehorn. The Sixth Amendment does not guarantee, however, that criminal defendants may call every witness they choose. See United States v. Scheffer, 523 U.S. 303, 118 S.Ct. 1261, 1264, 140 L.Ed.2d 413 (1998) ().

We have interpreted § 13-505, when read in conjunction with Tax-Gen. § 13-514 (requiring exhaustion before an appeal to the Tax Court) and CJP § 3-409(b) (requiring pursuit of the statutory remedy instead of a declaratory judgment action) to “demonstrate[ ] the Legislature’s intent that tax disputes be resolved through the procedures established in Md.

The major contributing cause amendments were modeled after similar provisions in Oregon law. See Letter from Lawton Chiles, Governor, State of Florida, to Stephen R.

But cf. Thomas, 39 F.3d at 504 n. 16 (noting a difference between the Fourth Circuit's federal standard and other state standards). Thus, this court could apply federal or state law. The court assumes it would apply North Carolina's choice-of-law rules if it applied state law. Cf. Klaxon Co. v. Stentor Elec. Mfg. Co., 313 U.S. 487, 61 S.Ct. 1020, 85 L.Ed. 1477 (1941) ().

The same rationale applies to pollution that is released into the air from chemicals stored at a chemical facility. An actor who chooses to store dangerous chemicals should be responsible for the release of those chemicals into the air.

While the Court does not doubt RHJI's good faith in refusing to send the satisfaction notice earlier, it is undisputed that RHJI did not send the satisfaction notice until 2:11 p.m. on July 23, after RHJI was notified about HHI's bid that had no due diligence out. 7 .

The new franchise agreement between Scott and the defendants did not mention any special privileges that Scott would enjoy as a McDonald’s operator, or that Scott would be treated in any particular way with respect to expansion. The release and disclaimer clauses signed by Scott Schubot, destroy plaintiffs’ claims of justifiable reliance on oral representations that occurred before the new franchise agreement between Scott and Mc-Donalds was entered into. Clauses releasing parties and disclaiming liabilities, such as these involved in the instant litigation, overcome any oral representations not contained in the written franchise agreement. Carlock v.

First of all, the doctrine of reading statutes in pari materia only makes sense when the word or phrase being interpreted has acquired special, non-literal significance as a legal term of art. See Molzof v. United States, 502 U.S. 301, 307-09, 112 S.Ct. 711, 716, 116 L.Ed.2d 731 (1992) (quoting Morissette v. United States, 342 U.S. 246, 263-65, 72 S.Ct. 240, 250, 96 L.Ed. 288 (1952)). Appellants fail to identify any word or phrase in § 2713 which has become a legal term of art. If Appellants are suggesting that all claims presentation provisions should be interpreted consistent with CERCLA’s, then their argument flies in the face of clear precedent to the contrary.

This observation is correct; interpretations of our sister states’ whistleblower laws and jurisprudence have made similar observations on how a long time span between the alleged whistleblowing and supposed retaliation weigh against finding causation.

We cannot interpret the district court’s statement as establishing that it failed to perform the required de novo review. In re Griego, 64 F.3d at 584. Notably, because “Congress intended to permit whatever reliance a district judge, in the exercise of sound judicial discretion, chose to place on a magistrate’s proposed findings and recommendations,” United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. at 676, 100 S.Ct. 2406 (emphasis omitted), a district court “may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the findings or recom mendations made by the magistrate,” 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).

This, the circuit court reasoned, is because it considered the promissory note and guaranty agreement to be a part of the same transaction. See, e.g., Spreen v. Ruth, 14 Ky. L.

Plaintiffs’ arguments have already been rejected by other courts, and there is no justification for a different outcome here. Plaintiffs first attempt to distinguish this case based on the citizenship of the investors involved. But even Justice Stevens, who disagreed with the Morrison majority’s complete trouncing of the Second Circuit’s conduct and effects test, acknowledged that the addition of a U.S. investor to the Morrison scenario would be insufficient to create liability under section 10(b). In applying Morrison, a majority of district courts have found the citizenship of the investors involved or mere “listing” on the NYSE insufficient reasons to extend section 10(b) liability.

First, Bramson claims that the Federal Bureau of Prisons may not set the timing and amount of his restitution and fine payments through the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program (“IFRP”) without submitting any such plan to the sentencing court for its approval. While district courts may not delegate to probation or the Bureau of Prisons designation of the timing and amount of court-ordered payments, see United States v. Merric, 166 F.3d 406, 409 (1st Cir.1999) (), this case is distinguishable. Contrary to ### Response: holding that district court could not delegate to probation the obligation of scheduling defendants installment payments " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: should be voided for lack of mutuality] and the [Conservation Service’s] obvious disregard [of its] terms.”). Declaratory relief is available in Tucker Act suits when it is an “incident of and collateral to” a money judgment, meaning it must be “subordinate to a money judgment.” James v. Caldera, 159 F.3d 573, 580 (Fed. Cir. 1998). For example, this court has jurisdiction to determine, as a prerequisite to a claim for back pay, that a soldier’s discharge was erroneous, even if the court then holds that the soldier is not entitled to back pay. Id. In the Telzrows’ case, a declaration that the easement deed is invalid could be subordinate to a judgment for the government, because the Telzrows then would have no basis for a claim of breach of contract. See Gould, 67 F.3d at 929-30 (). But a determination that the easement deed is ### Response: holding that the tucker act confers jurisdiction to hear claims for alleged breach of contract and that jurisdiction is not lost if the court later determines on the merits that the alleged contract is in fact void ab initio or invalid " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: could be sued in any county in which it had an agency); see also Tex.Civ.Prac. & Rem. Code ANN. § 15.001 historical note (Vernon Supp.1996) (Act of May 8, 1995, 74th Leg., R.S., ch. 138, § 11, 1995 Tex.Gen.Laws 978, 981-82 provides that suits commenced before September 1, 1995, are governed by former law). The plaintiffs’ response to the motion to transfer venue did not comply with Rule 87: neither an affidavit setting forth venue facts nor any duly proved attachments accompanied the response. Tex.R.Civ.P. 87 3(a). Conversely, Bleeker’s motion to transfer venue properly set forth all the facts necessary to show that Williamson County was a permissible venue for the litigation. See id. 2(a), 3(a). But see Watson v. City of Odessa, 893 S.W.2d 197, 199 (Tex.App.—El Paso 1995, writ denied) (). The hearing on the motion to transfer venue ### Response: holding that motion to transfer also must show either that county where action is pending is improper or that venue is mandatory in another county " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: CURIAM. In the instant case, Stephen Allison’s purported appeal of an order requiring DNA testing in a paternity action has been redesignated as a petition for writ of cer-tiorari. See State, Dep’t of Revenue ex rel. Chambers v. Travis, 971 So.2d 157, 159 n. 1 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007) (). We find that the order in this case departs ### Response: recognizing that an order for dna testing could cause irreparable harm because the test is intrusive and any error in improperly ordering genetic testing cannot be remedied on appeal after the testing is done and the results are released " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: demonstrates that the district court would have imposed a sentence outside the properly calculated sentencing range for the same reasons it provided at the sentencing hearing. However, that is not the end of our inquiry. As set forth above, the government must also • demonstrate that Martinez’s 46-month sentence “was-not influenced in any way by the erroneous -Guidelines calculation.” Ibarra-Luna, 628 F.3d at 719. As Martinez .correctly points out, his sentence of 46 months coincides with the lowest end of the improperly calculated guideline range. .Thus, he argues that the error influenced the district court’s- determination of his sentence. There is persuasive, albeit unpublished, authority for this proposition. See United States v. Cardenas, 598 Fed.Appx. 264, 269 (5th Cir.2015) (); United States v. Vasquez-Tovar, 420 Fed.Appx, ### Response: holding that an error was not harmless when the district court chose the lowest end of the improper sentencing range after stating that even if the court isnt correct the court believes it is necessary to sentence at this very high range " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of a receiver’s authority. Since there is simply no legal basis for usurping and encroaching upon the district court’s broad equitable powers in this case, I would affirm the district court’s decision. DISCUSSION I. Standard of Review As an initial matter, the majority’s fails to set forth the correct standard of review. The record clearly shows that the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Receiver. The majority appears to argue that the district court’s decision should be reviewed for abuse of discretion because the district court’s “ultimate decision was founded on equitable concerns.” (Appellee’s Br. at 21) This standard of review is unsupported by case law. See, e.g., Carter v. RMH Teleservices, Inc., 205 Fed.Appx. 214, 218 n. 4 (5th Cir.2006) (unpublished case) (). Since this Court reviews a district court’s ### Response: holding that plaintiff incorrectly concludes that an abuse of discretion is the standard of review 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: decision in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Dep’t of Social Services, 489 U.S. 189, 109 S.Ct. 998, 103 L.Ed.2d 249 (1989), noted that “as a general matter ... a State’s failure to protect an individual against private violence simply does not constitute a violation of the Due Process Clause,” but that certain exceptions have been created. McQueen, 433 F.3d at 464 (internal citations and quotation marks omitted). To prevail under the state-created danger theory, Plaintiff must show “an affirmative act [by Defendants] that creates or increases the risk [to Plaintiff]; a special danger to the victim as distinguished from the public at large, and the requisite degree of state culpability.” Id. The Court can assume that the second prong of the test, a “special danger,” has been met. See id. (). On the other two prongs of the test, however, ### Response: holding that a material fact had been raised as to whether the danger of one student shooting another while the teacher was out of the room was a special danger " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as a crime scene analyst. Since Richards did not exceed the scope of his qualifications as a crime scene analyst, attorney Smith could not have been deficient for failing to make an additional objection that Richards was testifying beyond his qualifications. Everett also has failed to show Strickland prejudice. Everett failed to present any evidence that Richards was unqualified, that the stains were not the victim’s blood stains, or that Richards testified incorrectly. Everett has not explained how objecting to Richards’ testimony would have improved his defense or undermined the State’s presentation. Because Everett did not present any evidence that Richards’ testimony was improperly inculpating, Everett’s claim is insufficient. See State v. Larzelere, 979 So.2d 195, 211 (Fla.2008) (). The extensive evidence presented at trial ### Response: holding that where larzelere claimed that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to call a concrete expert defendant failed to prove prejudice because she failed to show what a concrete expert would have testified to or how testimony would have cast doubt on her guilt " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: offense and informs the defendant of the charges against him so that he can prepare his defense and be protected against double jeopardy. See United States v. Jackson, 327 F.3d 273, 290 (4th Cir.2003). Here, the indictment adequately alleged the elements of a conspiracy under § 371. See id.; United States v. Ellis, 121 F.3d 908, 922 (4th Cir.1997) (providing elements). Moreover, the uncontroverted evidence at trial was clearly sufficient to prove that Hemby-Brown conspired to defraud financial institutions that were FDIC-insured. For example, several vehicles were purchased by using information provided by Hemby-Brown to obtain financing from Wachovia Bank, First Citizen’s Bank, and Chase Manhattan Bank, all FDIC-insured. See United States v. Janati, 374 F.3d 263, 270 (4th Cir.2004) (). We therefore affirm Hemby-Brown’s conviction. ### Response: holding that government may prove facts outside the overt acts alleged in the indictment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a particular illness. The first several victims of a new toxic tort should not be barred from having their day in court simply because the medical literature, which will eventually show the connection between the victims’ condition and the toxic substance, has not yet been completed. If a properly qualified medical expert performs a reliable differential diagnosis through which, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, all other possible causes of the victims' condition can be eliminated, leaving only the toxic substance as the cause, a causation opinion based on that differential diagnosis should be admitted. Turner v. Iowa Fire Equip. Co., 229 F.3d 1202, 1209 (8th Cir.2000) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Westberry v. Gislaved Gummi AB, 178 F.3d 257, 262 (1999) (). Hollander v. Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Corp., ### Response: holding that a reliable differential diagnosis alone may provide a valid foundation for a causation opinion even when no epidemiological studies peerreviewed published studies animal studies or laboratory data are offered in support of the opinion " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the Prosecutors’ motion to dismiss was properly denied in this respect. 2. The Charging Decision Munchinski alleges that the Prosecutors ignored Bowen’s inconsistent interview statements and thus could not have reasonably believed there was probable cause to arrest and charge him. The arrest of a criminal defendant and the filing of charges are at the core of the prosecuto-rial function, and “[a] prosecutor is absolutely immune when making [the decision to initiate a prosecution], even where he acts without a good faith belief that any wrongdoing has occurred.” Kulwicki v. Dawson, 969 F.2d 1454, 1464 (3d Cir.1992). Accordingly, the Prosecutors are entitled to absolute immunity for this conduct. Id.; see also Kalina v. Fletcher, 522 U.S. 118, 129, 118 S.Ct. 502, 139 L.Ed.2d 471 (1997) (). 3. Disclosures after the 1983 Mistrial ### Response: holding that a prosecutors filing of an arrest warrant and charging documents are protected by absolute immunity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: court failed to apply a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard in imposing a life term of supervised release is without merit. The government bears the burden of proving the applicability of guidelines that enhance a defendant’s offense level. United States v. Cataldo, 171 F.3d 1316, 1321 (11th Cir.1999). The district court’s factual findings for purposes of sentencing may be based on, among other things, evidence heard during trial, undisputed statements in the PSI, or evidence presented during the sentencing hearing. United States v. Saunders, 318 F.3d 1257, 1271 n. 22 (11th Cir .2003). It is well-settled that where a defendant does not object to the facts of the PSI, they are deemed admitted for Booker purposes. See United States v. Shelton, 400 F.3d 1325, 1330 (11th Cir.2005) (). “It is also established law that the failure ### Response: holding that a defendant admits to the psis factual statements about his relevant conduct where he raises no objections to those statements " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: at 418. In the aggregate, refracted through our deferential lens, the Board’s inference of animus meets the minimum threshold of reasonableness. The contrary evidence' — -such as Neeman’s friendly relationships with union members, his hiring of a small number of union members in the past, and his comments in the May 1 meeting indicating that employees were free to decide whether to participate in union activities — does not compel a contrary conclusion in this case. Further, the Board does not suggest that, having found an illegal motivation for an adverse action, an employer risks liability for all subsequent adverse decisions as to the same individuals, regardless of how far in the future, with no further showing of animus. Cf. Richardson v. Sugg, 448 F.3d 1046, 1058 (8th Cir.2006) (); BE & K Constr., 133 F.3d at 1376 n. 10 ### Response: holding in title vii case that the span of time between an employers raciallycharged remarks and the decision to fire the plaintiff is relevant to a determination of whether discriminatory animus motivated the firing " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: with very little benefit. See 11 U.S.C. § 1122(b) (separate administrative convenience class permissible); see also In re Leser, 939 F.2d 669, 671 n. 4 (8th Cir.1991) (stating that the purpose of section 1122(b) is “to allow special treatment for small claims, so that they [can] be eliminated early and reduce the number of claims that would have to be paid over time.”); Troy Sav. Bank v. Travelers Motor Inn, Inc., 215 B.R. 485, 489 (N.D.N.Y.1997) (explaining that convenience classes are authorized under section 1122(b) so that unsecured creditors with relatively small claims can “receive their percentage immediately upon confirmation, rather than making tiny payments over a period of years like the bigger unsecured claims”); In re Jartran, Inc., 44 B.R. 331, 397 (Bankr.N.D.Ill.1984) (). Further, any Class 4 claimant has the option ### Response: holding that the purpose and intended goal of 1122b is the reduction of administrative costs accomplished by reducing the number of claims to be dealt with postpetition " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: them by the terms of the contract. Paragraph 11 limits Plaintiffs’ remedy to replacement of the swine or, at Defendant’s option, refund of the purchase price. Such a limit cannot be enforced if the remedy fails of its essential purpose or if it is an unconscionable limitation on consequential damages. Iowa Code §§ 554.2719(2) and 554.2719(3). Plaintiffs maintain that the limitation causes the remedy to fail its essential purpose because the replacement or refund of purchase price of the boars which spread the disease bears no relation to the damage which might be sustained. Plaintiffs’ argument fails to address the relevant question, however. “The purpose of a remedy is to give the buyer what the seller promised him. . .” Hartzell v. Justus Co., Inc., 693 F.2d 770, 774 (8th Cir.1982) (), see also Select Pork, Inc. v. Babcock Swine, ### Response: holding where a house sold by defendant was found to fall short of the sellers promises and where it could not be repaired to the promised condition defendants liability could not be limited to the cost of repairs however if the repairs had been adequate to restore the house to its promised condition and if plaintiff had claimed additional consequential damages for example water damage to a rug from the leaky roof the limitationofremedies clause would have been effective " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 78 F.3d 397, 399 (8th Cir.1996). Minnesota Mutual argues, however, that our review is foreclosed because Parkhill did not indicate in his notice of appeal that he intended to appeal the district court’s denial of class certification. We agree and conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review the denial. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 3(c)(1)(B) provides that the notice of appeal must “designate the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed.” When determining whether an appeal from a particular district court action is properly taken, we construe the notice of appeal liberally and permit review where the intent of the appeal is obvious and the adverse party incurs no prejudice. Moore v. Robertson Fire Prot. Dist., 249 F.3d 786, 788 Inc., 153 F.3d 622, 625-26 (8th Cir.1998) (); Bosley v. Kearney R-1 Sch.

The Court Services Units are staffed by a broad range of exempt and nonexempt employees. There is no basis for finding that this policy creates a “significant likelihood” of deductions for disciplinary action or other infractions.

Additionally, the district court may not terminate parental rights to a child absent a finding “that the conditions and causes ofthe neglect and abuse are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future}.]” Section 32A-4-28(B)(2). This finding is required regardless of aggravated circumstances. Amy B., 2003-NMCA-017, ¶ 18. And it must be supported by clear and convincing evidence. See Mafin M., 2003-NMSC-015, ¶ 25 ().

There is nothing in the record currently before us, however, that supports the position that these three possibilities were the only ways in which the cocaine could have found its way to the bottom of the stairs. We do not know whether the magistrate judge's list of possible origins of the found drugs was meant to be exclusive. But if it was, that finding would be clearly erroneous. See, e.g., Krizek v. Cigna Group Ins., 345 F.3d 91, 100 (2d Cir.2003) (). It is possible to read the magistrate judge’s ### Response: recognizing that factual findings were clearly erroneous where the record before the court was simply devoid of any basis for the district courts conclusion " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in full: Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident, provided that upon request by the accused, the prosecution in a criminal case shall provide reasonable notice in advance of trial, or during trial if the court excuses pretrial notice on good cause shown, of the general nature of any such evidence it intends to introduce at trial. 3 . Indeed, this .circuit has found prior act evidence admissible for a wide range of reasons unrelated to character. See, e.g., United States v. Sanchez, 118 F.3d 192, 195 (4th Cir.1997) (); Aramony, 88 F.3d at 1378 (holding evidence of ### Response: holding prior drug deals admissible to prove knowledge of the drug trade " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: its trustworthiness and renders it inadmissible”); compare Gentile v.

Plaintiff has therefore failed to state a claim under Colon against the Supervisory Defendants. The Motion to Dismiss the State Law Claims Against the Supervisory Defendants is Denied According to the Supervisory Defendants, New York law bars lawsuits against prison employees in their personal capacity for damages arising out of “any act done or the failure to perform any act within the scope of the employment and in the discharge of the duties by such officer or employee.” N.Y.

The amount financed included credit life and credit health and accident premiums in the amount of $316.90. The noted listed “Table, Chairs, and Entertainment Center” as security for the loan. The note also recited the June 19, 1985 security agreement as security for the loan. Mr. Gillie signed no Security Agreement or Financing Statement.

Furthermore, Rosenbloom did not teach at UIC and was robbed after leaving his car with a mechanic. No evidence was presented that defendant knew his profession. Both victims were white males, but this is hardly a unique feature of the crime that earmarks it as the work of a single offender. Similarly, there is nothing unique about the location in which the crime occurred. Van Burén is a busy thoroughfare and it is not improbable that two robberies would occur within days of one another near that street. The location and choice of victim in this case do not sufficiently earmark these crimes as the handiwork of one individual. See Kokoraleis, 132 Ill. 2d at 257; but cf. People v.

While Garrett failed to timely assert his challenge to the assessment of a criminal history point for his bail jumping conviction, there is no indication on the record that Garrett knew that his criminal history score might be erroneous, nor would he choose to be sentenced under a higher criminal history score and thus a higher Guidelines range. A logical explanation is that neither Garrett nor his counsel realized that including the bail jumping conviction was incorrect, therefore we review for plain error. See United States v. Jaimes-Jaimes, 406 F.3d 845, 847-49 (7th Cir.2005) ().

First, although Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones provided a fact-based narrative of their conversations with the defendants and their trip from El Paso to Albuquerque, their testimony ultimately was not essential to the Government’s case. The other evidence presented by the Government — which included video and audio surveillance as well as agent testimony — was enough to secure a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt. See United States v. Brown, 482 F.2d 1226, 1229 (8th Cir.1973) (affirming cross-examination limitations in part because “even if the credibility of the witness was [further] impugned, the Government’s case in chief did not rest upon the credibility of this witness alone”); cf.

With respect to the assertion of the demand requirement or its futility, Rule 23.1 provides, in pertinent part: The complaint [in a shareholder derivative action] shall also allege with particularity the efforts, if any, made by the plaintiff to obtain the action the plaintiff desires from the directors or comparable authority and, if necessary, from the shareholders or members, an ll depend upon the substantive law defining these elements.

Ketera acknowledges in its motion that Hobbs has asserted a discrimi nation claim under Title VII and the TCHRA but does not differentiate between them in its analysis. Because the court determines the same standard applies to discrimination claims under Title VII and the TCHRA, it considers Hobbs’s discrimination claims under Title VII and the TCHRA together based on the standard applicable to Title VII claims.

Under the circumstances presented here, the warrantless search of the SUV was unconstitutional. We thus reverse the trial court’s order denying defendants’ motions to suppress. Because our decision vacates the convictions, we will not address the remaining arguments raised by Minitee. As a threshold issue, the State argues that Bland does not have standing to challenge the propriety of the search. Before we address the merits of this argument, we note that the State did not raise this issue before the trial court. This issue may not therefore be properly before us. See State v. Arthur, 184 N.J. 307, 327, 877 A.2d 1183 (2005) ().

In fact, some of the Amici in Blueford sought adoption of a per se rule requiring trial judges to take partial verdicts wherever any unanimity exists as a prerequisite to a finding of manifest necessity as to the remaining counts — in effect, requiring even states that do not permit partial verdicts in certain circumstances to accept them. See, e.g., Brief for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae Supporting Petitioner, Blueford v. Arkansas, - U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 2044, 182 L.Ed.2d 937 (2012). 13 . The majority of jurisdictions accepting partial verdicts are in accord with this interpretation. See, e.g., Wallace v. Havener, 552 F.2d 721, 723 (6th Cir.1977) (); Daniels v.

Even if the carrier had the requisite knowledge, its duty to take protective action does not arise unless that duty arose well enough in advance of the assault to have prevented it with the force in its command. Although whether one party owes a duty of care to another is ordinarily a legal question for the court to decide, the existence of MTA’s duty in this case is predicated on its asserted similarity (or not) to the factual conditions prerequisite described in Tall. Because the jury is the appropriate body to find the facts, we need only decide if there is a dispute of material facts as to whether these conditions existed in the present case. Cf. Walpert, Smullian & Blumenthal, P.A. v. Katz, 361 Md. 645, 693, 762 A.2d 582, 608 (2000) ().

The type of evidence provided by the party opposing summary judgment need not meet the standards for admissibility at trial. The nonmovant, however, must produce evidence beyond the mere pleadings to survive the summary judgment motion and proceed to trial. Id. The fact that both parties have moved for partial or full summary judgment, based on the alleged absence of genuine issues of material fact, does not relieve the court of its responsibility to determine the appropriateness of summary disposition in the particular case. Prineville Sawmill Co. v. United States, 859 F.2d 905, 911 (Fed.Cir.1988) (citing Mingus Constructors, Inc. v. United States, 812 F.2d 1387, 1391 (Fed.Cir.1987)); Levine v.

See id. at 138 (2). This Court has recognized that a lawyer is more likely to act ethically in serving as both a witness and an advocate if his or her testimony relates to merely formal matters, but this factor clearly did not weigh in Martin’s favor, because the lawyers’ anticipated testimony concerned a critical and disputed matter. See Payne, 295 Ga. at 611. Alawyer is more likely to be allowed to testify and remain as an advocate where the need for his or her testimony is unexpected or occurs when a change in counsel would be disruptive to the proceedings. See id. at 611, n. 2; Pulte Home Corp. v. Simerly, 322 Ga. App. 699, 702-703 (746 SE2d 173) (2013) (). Cf. Clough, 274 Ga.

However, “[a] trial court has no ‘discretion’ in determining what the law is or applying the law to the facts. Thus, a clear failure by the trial court to analyze or apply the law correctly will constitute an abuse of discretion, and may result in appellate reversal by extraordinary writ.” Id. Abatement We have repeatedly held that a trial court abuses its discretion when it arbitrarily abates a civil case for an indefinite period of time. See In re Sims, 88 S.W.3d 297, 306 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2002, orig. proceeding); Gebhardt v. Gallardo, 891 S.W.2d 327, 330-32 (Tex s 2000, orig. proceeding) (); Trapnell v.

See id. at 663-64, 12 S.Ct. 336. There was thus nothing to show that Congress intended the process due such an arriving alien not to include the power of the courts to review whether the congressionally prescribed process was followed. That Congress by statute once permitted greater judicial review and procedural rights to arriving aliens does not mean that the Suspension Clause prohibits Congress from providing arriving aliens fewer procedural protections, so long as the writ still lies to determine whether a sufficient ground of removal and detention appears. See Shaughnessy v. United States ex rel. Mezei, 345 U.S. 206, 212-15, 73 S.Ct. 625, 97 L.Ed. 956 (1953) ().

Nivica, 887 F.2d 1110, 1115-17 (1st Cir. 1989) (concluding that the defendant’s argument that the trial court erred when it denied his request for a pretrial ruling that would have limited the government to cross-examining him only upon matters about which he testified on direct examination and about his credibility was foreclosed because he never, in fact, testified); cf. United States v. Wilson, 307 F.3d 596, 598-601 (7th Cir. 2002) (). Moreover, at least two state courts have also ### Response: holding unreviewable the defendants assertion that his fifth amendment right to remain silent was violated by the trial courts conditional ruling to allow the government to introduce evidence of his selective silence if he referred to the associate he had originally mentioned to a federal agent because although the defendant testified he did not in fact mention the associate quotation omitted " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: by a junior associate. Although a court must exclude hours that reflect “the wasteful use of highly skilled and highly priced talent for matters easily delegable to non-professionals or less experienced associates,” delegation is neither always possible in a small firm nor always desirable. Ursic v. Bethlehem Mines, 719 F.2d 670, 677 (3d Cir.1983) (emphasis added). First, a duty to delegate presupposes that the attorneys charging maximum rates readily have junior associates and supporting paralegals at their disposal. See Poston v. Fox, 577 F.Supp. 915, 919-20 (D.N.J.1984) (finding that it is not always possible to delegate in small office); see also Roldan v. Phila. Hous. Auth., Civ. A.

(mem. op., not designated for publication). However, even when an abstract charge is erroneously given on a theory of law, without specific application to the facts of the case, the court of criminal appeals have found this is not error. Hughes v. State, 897 S.W.2d 285, 297 (Tex.Crim.App.1994); see Lewis v. State, 815 S.W.2d 560, 562 (Tex.Crim.App.1991) ().

See Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487 n. 7, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). The search of Gresh’s car was justified under the automobile exception to the warrant requirement. That exception “permits law enforcement to seize and search an automobile without a warrant if probable cause exists to believe it contains contraband.” United States v. Burton, 288 F.3d 91, 100 (3d Cir.2002). Probable cause exists when, viewing the totality of the circumstances, “there is a fair probability that contraband or evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place.” Illinois v.

Plaintiffs ask that the court delete reference to “diagnosable and compensable” injury in fact since no such limitation exists in either New York or Missouri law.

Corp. v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 565 F.Supp. 1485, 1489 (S.D.N.Y.1983). That opinion was affirmed by the Second Circuit, but was modified to delete the “diagnosable and compensable” limitation because there was no basis for it in the policy language. American Home Prods.

Ferreira correctly asserts that both of the above statements are dicta, but the California Court of Appeal has specifically held that WIC section 10980(c)(2)’s predecessor statute, which contained language identical to the present statute, required proof of intent to defraud.

This allegation plainly alleges that the NCAA receives dues from member institutions, which receive federal funds. As discussed above, this allegation would be sufficient to bring the NCAA within the scope of Title IX as a recipient of federal funds and would survive a motion to dismiss. If a district court concludes that an amendment is futile based upon its erroneous view of the law, it abuses its discretion in denying a plaintiff leave to amend to include a legally sufficient allegation.

I — I HH The Court’s position is no stronger in case authority than it is in logic. None of the cases relied upon by the Court controls the outcome of this case. Indeed, the disparate- impact cases do not even support the propositions for which they are cited. For example, the Court cites Dothard v. Rawlinson, 433 U.

Klinge, 92 Hawai'i 577, 592, 994 P.2d 509, 524 (2000)). Here, introduction of CWs death during the prosecutor’s rebuttal distinguished it as one of the last facts heard by the jury prior to deliberations, further exacerbating the risk of prejudice. That CWs death was introduced during the State’s rebuttal precluded Nofoa from c 692, 718 (2002) ().

For example, in California, evidence brought more than two years after a child’s birth that a certain person is the biological father of the child is irrelevant for purposes of determining the paternity of a child bom into a marriage. See Cal.Fam. Code §§ 7540-7541 (West 1994). This “conclusive presumption” was upheld in Michael H. v. Gerald D., 491 U.S. 110, 109 S.Ct. 2333, 105 L.Ed.2d 91 (1989) (Scalia, J., plurality opinion).

Absolute immunity is determined by a functional analysis that looks to “ ‘the nature of the function performed, not the identity of the actor who performed it.’ ” Buckley v.

In the trial court, however, Nickerson argued that the evidence was relevant. He did not raise a Confrontation Clause objection. To complain of a Confrontation Clause objection on appeal, a party must object in the trial court to the ruling disallowing that testimony. Wñght v. State, 28 S.W.3d 526, 536 (Tex.Crim.App.2000).

Since it is not an element of § 20(a), Anderson and Strudwick’s argument is untenable. This conclusion is supported by the case law. In Lorenz v.

We reject this argument. First and foremost, Capital One is not a party to this action. If Bentrud has a complaint with the manner in which Capital One changed (i.e. reduced) the interest rate, he can raise that issue in arbitration. The district court’s inquiry, and ours on appeal, concerns the representations and collection efforts of Bowman Heintz, the party alleged by Bentrud to have committed the FDCPA violations. Based on the record before us, Bentrud has not raised a triable issue that Bowman Heintz either misrepresented the interest rate or attempted to collect an amount not authorized by the agreement with Capital One. Because Bentrud failed to carry his burden, see Hess v. Kanoski Bresney, 784 F.3d 1154, 1159 (7th Cir.2015) (), his second FDCPA claim, theorized under § ### Response: holding plaintiff to his burden of persuasion on appeal of summary judgment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to the district court’s “necessary” party analysis, we need not decide whether “in equity and good conscience” Mutual qualifies as an indispensable party under Rule 19(b).

The UCCJEA defines an “initial determination” as “the first child-custody determination concerning a particular child.” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50A-102(8). Here, the record establishes that the initial custody determinations with respect to all three juveniles were made by the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas in Fayette County. Consequently, the North Carolina court lacked jurisdiction under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 50A-201 to enter an order terminating respondent’s parental rights. See N.R.M., 165 N.C.

Axelrad, in turn, hired two clinical psychologists, Grant L. Hutchinson and Thomas L. Morrison, to assist in evaluating Mickey. Hutchinson evaluated Mickey on September 21, 1981. Morrison also administered psychological testing to assist Axelrad. This investigation was sufficient. See Hendricks, 70 F.3d at 1037 ().

See McFarland, 845 S.W.2d at 843 (noting isolated omissions in record do not render counsel’s performance ineffective). Failures to Object. Appellant finally complains that his counsel did not object to leading questions regarding the elements of misdemeanor assault or to hearsay regarding testimony elicited from one of the officers at trial. These failures to object to potentially inadmissible testimony are not sufficient, in themselves, to constitute deficient performance. See Ingham v. State, 679 S.W.2d 503, 509 (Tex.Crim.App.1984) (“An isolated failure to object to certain procedural mistakes or improper evidence does not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel.”); see also Thompson v.

Carr, 503 A.2d 1241, 1245 (D.C. 1986). In Brown, the D.C. Court of Appeals adopted the approach of the California courts to malicious prosecution claims. Harris, 696 F.Supp.2d at 134. Accordingly, “ ‘[i]f [the termination] is of such a nature as to indicate the innocence of the accused, it is a favorable termination sufficient to satisfy the requirement. If, however, the dismissal is on technical grounds, for procedural reasons, ... it does not constitute favorable termination.’ ” Id. (quoting Brown, 503 A.2d at 1245). “[Dismissal for failure to prosecute has been held to be a favorable termination where the facts of the case indicate that such a disposition reflects on the innocence of the defendant in the underlying suit.” Brown, 503 A.2d at upp.3d 132, 145 (D.D.C. 2015) (); Harris, 696 F.Supp.2d at 134 (finding that ### Response: holding that the bare assertion that a dismissal without prejudice was favorable to the plaintiff was insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Accordingly, the state is not obligated to mitigate the risk of injury from a dangerous condition inherent in the design of a highway. To hold otherwise would require the state to reduce the risk of injury below the general state of being, repair, or efficiency of the road as initially constructed, and the statute specifically excludes from the state's maintenance obligation any duty to upgrade, modernize, modify, or improve the design of a facility. § 24-10-108(1); Springer, 13 P.3d at 802 (""The public entity has no duty under 'maintenance' to upgrade the construction of the facility."").

See Johnson, 23 S.W.3d at 8; Speer, 890 S.W.2d at 90. The record reflects that, although Officer Green agreed that he did not know whether “it was him being normal or him being intoxicated,” because he had no prior contact with appellant, the officer refused to go so far as to agree that appellant could have been either “intoxicated” or “normal.” No law, however, requires that an officer have prior contact with a defendant. Prior knowledge of the defendant’s normal state is not a prerequisite to testimony by an officer that he believed that the defendant was intoxicated. See Railsback v. State, 95 S.W.3d 473, 484 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, pet. ref'd); see also Massie v. State, 744 S.W.2d 314, 316 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1988, pet. ref'd) ().

PER CURIAM: Benito Sanchez-Garcia, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s denial of his requests for cancellation of removal and voluntary departure. We have reviewed the administrative record and the Board’s order and find no error in the Board’s conclusion that Sanchez-Garcia is statutorily ineligible for both forms of relief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(c) (2012) (providing that an alien shall not be permitted to “depart voluntarily ... if the alien was previously permitted to so depart after having been found inadmissible under [8 U.S.C. § ]• 1182(a)(6)(A) [2012])”; Garcia v.

Because the substantially changed circumstances required by Minn.Stat. § 518.64, subd. 2, to modify child support must render the existing support obligation unreasonable and unfair, the changed circumstances must pertain to the portion of the obligation sought to be modified. Thus, if multiple types of child support are involved in multiple motions to modify, the mere statement in a prior order that there was no substantial change in circumstances rendering the existing obligation unreasonable and unfair does not necessarily justify invoking res judicata in a subsequent proceeding.

Facebook’s argument against personal jurisdiction is also directed at the Cohen Complaint and raises a number of valid but vexing questions as to the interaction between New York’s statutory scheme, for extending jurisdiction over corporations and recent Supreme Court decisions concerning due process limitations on personal jurisdiction. (See MTD Mem. at 27-30.) Because the court has determined that the Cohen Plaintiffs fail to establish standing, it need not address the question of personal jurisdiction as to their Complaint. Cf.

This Circuit recently reiterated in the case of Pineda v.

Accordingly, if retribution is to be served by the death of a condemned prisoner, the prisoner must at least have this realization.”). Similar language, indicating an appreciation that a prisoner’s awareness of his execution must include the understanding that execution means the end of his physical life, is found in numerous federal and state court decisions before and after Ford. See, e.g., Scott v. Mitchell, 250 F.3d 1011, 1013-14 (6th Cir.2001) (); Barnard v.

To establish that Amtrak ran afoul of the ADA when it terminated her employment on the basis of a perceived disability, see id. at 490, 119 S.Ct. 2139, plaintiff asserts that Porter was aware that she “used a special chair for her back, walked with a limp, could not stand or walk for long periods of time, and regularly attended physical therapy sessions .... ” (PL’s Opp’n at 43.)

See Pierce, 567 Pa. 186, 786 A.2d 203, 213. XII. Ineffectiveness Relating to “Good Conduct” in Prison Appellant asserts that evidence tending to show the he was a well-behaved and well-adjusted prisoner, from which the jury could draw favorable inferences regarding Appellant’s character and future conduct as a prisoner, if sentenced to life in prison, is admissible mitigating evidence, and trial counsel was ineffective for failing to present such evidence to the jury.

The “lodestar” is no longer a lodestar in the true sense of the word- — “a star that leads,” Webster’s Third International Dictionary 1329 (1981). Nor do courts use it in the way the term was first used by the Third Circuit — as a base amount that is susceptible of ready adjustment; rather, circuit court deference to the district court’s estimate of a “reasonable” hourly rate is a “lodestar” only in the sense that it is a guiding jurisprudential principle, see Dague, 505 U.S. at 562, 112 S.Ct. 2638 (“The ‘lodestar’ figure has, as its name suggests, become the guiding light of our fee-shifting jurisprudence.”).

As noted above, a showing of likelihood of success also creates a presumption of irreparable harm. PSI has done nothing to rebut this presumption, so Kompan is entitled to injunctive relief on its trade dress claim. III. False Advertising Claim Kompan also claims that PSI violates the Lanham Act by false advertising. Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act protects against two distinct wrongs: false designation of origin and false description or representation (false advertising). 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(A) and (B) ; Agee v.

If that was the sum total of Motobecane’s position, it might satisfy the conditions for obtaining an estoppel to this extent. However, Motobecane further argues that the acknowledgement now prevents defendants from denying that they had an obligation to protect Motobecane’s security interest. No such promise appears in the September 28 letter, nor can the court infer one from the plain meaning of the language of the letter. An estoppel can not rest upon an alleged promise which the court can not discern from the statements made by the defendant, cf. Association of Hebrew Teachers of Metropolitan Detroit v. Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, 62 Mich.App. 54, 233 N.W.2d 184 (1975) ().

Mickey argues that the small talk, though casual, does not fall under this general rule. In his view, Landry had reason to know his behavior might elicit an incriminating response because he was “softening up” Mickey by participating in a discussion of the connections between their two families, including Landry’s knowledge of Mickey’s brother’s suicide. But, Landry did not intend and had no reason to know that his statements about his various family members and how they interacted with Mickey’s family were likely to elicit an incriminating response in the context of a conversation ranging from California, philosophy, and politics to family, food, and football. See United States v. Hackley, 636 F.2d 493, 498 (D.C.Cir.1980) ().

McNutt Co. was never served in the 47.01a proceeding or named as an interested party. This is significant because if McNutt Co. were the owner, as evidenced on the DPS registration receipts, and was allowing York to use the property, also as evidenced by the DPS registration receipts, then York would have a superior right to possess the trailer as against appellees, regardless of whether the trailer was deemed stolen or not.

Burton did not sue State Farm until June 7, 2000. Burton contends that until the entry of a judgment in excess of the $100,000 paid to Burton out of State Farm’s insurance proceeds, Padgett did not incur any damages caused by State Farm’s alleged mishandling of the claim, and so the earliest his cause of action accrued was in October 1994 when the insurance funds were disbursed to the parties without a release. Burton contends, however, that Padgett’s cause of action did not accrue until the excess judgment was entered against him on October 27, 1999. The Montana Supreme Court has rejected this argument.

We need not decide which statute of limitations applies because under either the three- or five-year statute of limitations, the Committee’s claim is barred because more than five years have passed since this cause of action accrued. This action was filed on March 18, 2002; thus, the Committee’s claim is barred under either statute if it accrued prior to March 18, 1997. The Committee argues that the date on which the claim accrued was April 8, 2000: the date it became aware of Settlement II. We disagree. Generally, this court applies the discovery rule to determine when a claim accrues. Union Pacific R.R. v. Beckham, 138 F.3d 325, 330 (8th Cir.1998) ().

Here, Jaffe argues that evidence was admitted at his trial unconstitutionally via a transcript of Officer David Miller’s testimony during a preliminary hearing. Miller was not available to testify at trial, and Jaffe argues he was unable to cross-examine Miller effectively. See Crawford v.

This claim is analogous to the fraud by nondisclosure claim. Although there are no District of Columbia cases in which Rule 9(b) has been applied to the provisions triggered by this case in deceptive trade practices actions, courts in other jurisdictions analyzing similar provisions of similar statutes have concluded that allegations supporting the claim “must be pleaded with particularity because they are akin to allegations of fraud.” Burton v.

It is also undisputed that the interest holders are junior to the unsecured creditors, and that under the plan they will receive the opportunity to buy the stock of the reorganized debtor.

It is a difficult one. The text of the statute, 28 U.S.C. § 158, is utterly silent on the issue. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has not spoken to the issue. As the Eleventh Circuit observed several years ago, neither the United States Supreme Court nor any of the Courts of Appeal have ruled on the issue.

In contrast, the IJ here never reached the legal or factual questions of eligibility for either asylum or withholding in light of current country conditions because she simply rejected all of Secaida’s testimony regarding the events in Guatemala he claimed led to his flight. Furthermore, a substantial amount of time has passed since the IJ assessed Secaida’s application. Given our above conclusion that the IJ erred by rejecting Secaida’s testimony, it appears remand is necessary in this case to allow the IJ to reach the secondary question of country conditions.

Searcy <& Patterson, Practice Commentary, 1 Texas Penal Code Annotated § 16.01 (Vernon 1974), quoted in Eodice, 742 S.W.2d at 846. The authors’ emphasis on the word “specially” suggests that the Legislature intended a narrow construction of what constitutes a criminal instrument. Finally, Janjua conflates two separate elements of the statute. The statute forbids possession of “a criminal instrument with intent to use it in the commission of an offense.” Thus, to be guilty of this offense, a person must (1) possess a criminal instrument, and (2) have the intent to use it in the commission of an offense. But rather than treating intent as a separate element, Janjua folds intent into the definition of “criminal instrument.” See 991 S.W.2d at 426 ().

In the context of the two options proposed by the prosecutor, the Defendant’s response was that he did not object to Child testifying by closed circuit television. Therefore, he cannot now raise that issue on appeal. Defendant also asserts that prohibiting him from conducting the cross-examination violated his right of confrontation. The Confrontation Clause of the United States Constitution includes the right to cross-examine one’s accusers. State v. Hooper, 145 Idaho 139, 176 P.3d 911 (2007) ().

Second, the arbitration agreement undoubtedly gave the arbitrator authority to invoke equity, as it provided him with the power to award any relief which a court could award. The arbitrator, therefore, acted — or at least arguably acted— within the scope of his authority when he noted that equity supports the certification of an opt-out class. Finally, even if Respondents have — at the very most — raised an arguable issue as to whether the arbitrator exceeded the scope of his powers, the Court is without authority to vacate the arbitrator’s decision.

Nor is it open to Noble to argue that there is a middle ground, according to which the arbitration award, to be final, must resolve not all issues between the parties but all issues relating to the relevant transaction and occurrence. This court has held that an award is final when it resolves the issues presented for arbitration and does not determine other issues beyond its delegated scope of authority, even when those other issues are relevant to the same transaction giving rise to the issues that the arbitration did address.

See, e.g., Strickland, 466 U.S. at 689, 104 S.Ct. 2052 (); Youngberg v.

We do not hold that a finding of nonliability for civil conspiracy to defraud necessarily precludes litigation of nondischargeability under § 523(a)(2)(A). Rather, we hold that where, as here, the factual issue that forms the basis for the creditor’s theory of nondischargeability has been actually litigated in a prior proceeding, neither the creditor nor the debtor may relitigate those grounds.

The relationship between an employer’s obligations under its collective bargaining agreement and potentially conflicting obligations under an anti-discrimination statute like Title VII is more complex than the district court’s decision indicates. Title VII and collective bargaining agreements each represent important congressional policies: preventing discrimination in the workplace, and “effecting workable and enforceable agreements between management and labor,” Trans World Airlines, 432 U.S. at 79, 97 5.Ct. 2264. Given the important national policies underlying both Title VII and collective bargaining agreements, it is incorrect to hold, as the district court did, that obligations under Title VII always trump obligations that exist under valid labor agreements.

The PSR indicates that Hampton hit the officer after he lost control of his vehicle. We cannot conclude from this evidence that Hampton intended to hit anyone, let alone a law enforcement officer. Moreover, we disagree with the district court that the enhancement should apply because the crash was a foreseeable consequence of the high-speed chase. Rather, the government must prove that 1) the defendant engaged in action akin to aggravated assault, and 2) the defendant had reason to believe the intended and actual victim was a law enforcement officer. USSG § 3A1.2(b)(1); accord United States v. Castillo, 924 F.2d 1227, 1236 (2d Cir.1991) ().

A court may “admit a statement made outside of the safe harbor if the delay was reasonable or if public policy concerns weigh in favor of admission.” United States v. Padilla Mendoza, 157 F.3d 730, 731 (9th Cir.1998), United States v. Van Poyck, 77 F.3d 285, 289 (9th Cir.1996). The district court concluded that the thirty-two hour pre-arraignment delay in this ease was reasonable because Fritts was suffering from heroin withdrawal and had to be hospitalized. Relying on our decision in United States v. George, 987 F.2d 1428 (9th Cir.1993), it held that “a delay caused by medical necessity does not violate Rule 5(a).” See George, 987 F.2d at 1431 ().

To establish or trigger coverage, “an insured must demonstrate that damage ‘occurred’ while the policy was in effect.” N. States Power Co. v. Fid. and Cas. Co., 523 N.W.2d 657, 659-60 n. 3 (Minn.1994) (quotation omitted). An occurrence takes place not when the policyholder engages in the wrongful act, “but the time the complaining party was actually damaged.” Singsaas v. Diederick, 307 Minn. 153, 156, 238 N.W.2d 878, 880-81 (1976). Consequently, if the damage occurs outside of the policy period, the policy does not provide coverage. See id. at 155, 238 N.W.2d at 880-81 ().

The Court could not square a different result with fundamental requirement that a 60-day notice must “be sufficiently specific to inform the alleged violator about what it is doing wrong, so that it will know what corrective actions will avert a lawsuit.” Atlantic States, 116 F.3d at 819. Not having given Defendants notice of the violations alleged in this lawsuit, but only for violations that had already been addressed by the end of the 60-day notice period and that were therefore “wholly past” by the time Plaintiffs would have been permitted to sue for properly noticed ongoing violations, Plaintiffs’ Clean Water Act claims must be dismissed. See, e.g., Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Gaston Copper Recycling Corp., 629 F.3d 387, 399-403 (4th Cir.2011) (); ONRC Action v.

The dredge at issue in Super Scoop was moved much more frequently and easily. That the ATP TITAN can be moved does not qualify it as a vessel, given the enormous expense associated with its relocation and the extent to which it is securely attached to the floor of the Outer Continental Shelf in its role as' a production facility. Further, there is no evidence that the ATP TITAN frequently uses its mooring lines to shift itself, and in any event, the Fifth Circuit held in Fields that the spar at issue was not a vessel, despite its ability to move up to 250 feet by tightening and slackening its lines. 182 F.3d at 359; see also Richardson v. Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Corp., No. 08-1074, 2011 WL 2565315, at *3 (E.D.La. June 28, 2011) ().

Substantive Sufficiency of Count I In the seminal West case, the Supreme Court of Florida adopted strict liability for manufacturers and sellers whose products reach a consumer in an unreasonably dangerous condition and thereafter cause injury. West, 336 So.2d at 86-87. “In order to hold a manufacturer liable on the theory of strict liability in tort, the user must establish the manufacturer’s relationship to the product in question, the defect and unreasonably dangerous condition of the product, and the existence of the proximate causal connection between such condition and the user’s injuries or damages.” Id. at 87; see also Clark, 395 So.2d at 1229; see also Cintron v. Osmose Wood Preserving, Inc., 681 So.2d 859, 861 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996) (). In other words, there are three elements to a ### Response: holding that a cause of action on the theory of strict liability may be properly pled by alleging 1 the manufacturers relationship to the product in question 2 the unreasonably dangerous condition of the product and 3 the existence of a proximate causal connection between the condition of the product and the plaintiffs injury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a protected ground such as their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinions. Rather, he testified that the farm was on fertile land, and thus valuable. Zetino implied that the only motivation for the murders was the land itself. He testified that the attackers “were insisting on the lands and [his] grandfather did not want to get rid of the land.” Zetino also testified that he was afraid of gang violence because he had tattoos that gang members might mistake as a sign of membership in a rival gang. An alien’s desire to be free from harassment by criminals motivated by theft or random violence by gang members bears no nexus to a protected ground. See id. §§ 1231(b)(3), 1101(a)(42); Gormley v.

Mass.Gen.L. ch. 247, § 7. Evergreen alleges that the value of the scallops is approximately $1,200,00.00. (Compl. Count III, ¶ 29, p. 10.) Evergreen has adequately pled that the Banks are currently detaining the scallops unlawfully. Evergreen alleges that the scallops are now located at the Gloucester Corporation warehouse and that the Banks control both the warehouse and the contents therein. (Compl. Count II at 1116.)

Defendants contend that after 1968 Abbott and Costello’s heirs were required to register a renewal of the copyright to the Routine. (Id. at 15.) Given the plausible allegation that Abbott and Costello assigned their common law copyright in the Routine to UPC with the 1940 Agreement, Defendants argument that the duo’s heirs had to register a renewal of the copyright is unavailing. ' Because as much of the 1938 Routine as was disclosed in the motion picture was published when the motion picture was published, and because the law treats motion pictures as a unitary works, the copyrights in One Night and The Naughty Nineties that UPC registered “merged” the Routine with the films.

As to the first reason, the court may not base a downward departure on the defendant’s “intoxication at the time of the offense.” § 921.0016(5), Fla. Stat. (1999). Thus, the court erred in departing downward based on its finding that Chapman lacked the capacity to appreciate the criminal nature of the offense and that his conduct was substantially impaired. The trial court’s second reason for the down ward departure, that Chapman’s need to support his child outweighs his need for prison, has been rejected by this court as well. See Rafferty v.

The alleged attack on April Page was by fellow students, not by agents of the school district or the City of Philadelphia. Under the rationale of DeShaney and D.R., April Page did not stand in a special relationship to the defendants because April Page was not in the physical custody of Officer Zulka, the City of Philadelphia, or the school district defendants. The agreement reached between the defendants and Raymond Page did not limit April Page’s or her parents’ freedom to act on her behalf, and thus such an agreement did not establish a special relationship so as to raise constitutional implications.

The fact that this new section was expressly made non-retroactive could be interpreted to support the view that the invasion of exclusive territory did not constitute “impairment” prior to the date of effectiveness of the 1988 amendment. However, the better interpretation, and the one adopted by the Court, is that the 1988 amendment did not establish new law, but instead only codified the unbroken line of judicial decisions determining that a principal’s interference with its distributor’s exclusive territory constituted impairment for Act No. 75 purposes.

This limitation applies where the government has concealed both the informant’s identity and the contents of that informant’s communication.

L. Rev. at 206. The nineteenth century saw an expansion of the doctrine beyond its real property origins. Id. at 209-11. Taxpayers, for example, were held to be bound by prior judgments entered in “public rights suits” challenging the legitimacy of government action. Id. at 210 (citing Harmon v. Auditor of Public Accounts, 123 Ill. 122, 132, 13 N.E. 161, 163-64 (1887) ()).

This type of error, however, is at most clerical and may be corrected pursuant to Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure without the need for a new trial or a new sentencing hearing.

Therefore, in order to establish his claim now, he must demonstrate that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected his lawyer’s performance. Cuyler v.

As there is competent evidence in the record to support the finding, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that Sun breached its duty of good faith inspection. ¶ 21 Third, we examine the effect of Sun’s breach on the other provisions of the contract. In general, when a party fails to satisfy an express contractual obligation, the lack of performance is a breach of the provision creating that obligation. On the other hand, when there is no provision creating an obligation, a failure to act in a certain way amounts to no more than exercise of privileges reserved in the contract.

See Magalif, 131 S.W.3d at 437-38 (rejecting the State's argument that the defendant’s conduct constituted a communication in violation of an ex parte order because the information only charged defendant with violating the terms and conditions relating to abuse). Second, unless the State had alleged and proven that walking down a public hallway violated the terms and conditions of the order relating to abuse or stalking, such conduct would not constitute a crime as defined by § 455.085. See State v. Cooper, 871 S.W.2d 92, 93-94 (Mo.App.1994) (). 5 .

We do not find persuasive TMLT’s argument that a bill of review is, by definition, excluded from an insurer’s duty to defend because a defective-service default judgment, though void, nonetheless becomes final thirty days after entry, thereby ending the lawsuit. A judgment may be final for purposes of appeal but still open to direct attack. Even if the language of a policy requiring an insurer “to defend any lawsuit” against the insured does not explicitly require an insurer to seek post-judgment relief, it is illogical to suppose that the word “defense” relates only to the trial of the action and does hot embrace such relief. See 22 Eric M. Holmes, Holmes’ Appleman on Insurance § 136.11 (2d ed.2003) ().

However, as the District Court correctly observed, the guidelines expressly state that they do “not create or recognize any legally enforceable right in any person.” Id. at § 50.10(n).

Further, the state argues that the jury must be presumed to follow the trial court’s instructions. Finally, the state notes that we previously determined that the admission of McWhorter’s inconsistent statement was proper in State v.

After carefully reviewing the pleadings, and considering the relevant authorities, the Court finds that Defendant’s argument is well-taken. Congress has mandated that a Title VII complainant must seek relief through an established administrative mechanism before filing suit in federal court, and that the administrative process must be fully exhausted before the court can act. See Brown v. City of Cleveland, 294 Fed.Appx. 226, 233 (6th Cir.2008) (); see also Zipes v.

Therefore, DPS met its burden to establish lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Martin, 971 S.W.2d at 430. Because DPS alleged and introduced evidence that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, the burden shifted to Sparks to raise a genuine issue of material fact on whether Hallett acted with conscious in 2008 WL 820385, *4-5, 2008 Tex.App. LEXIS 2236, at **12-14 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth Mar. 27, 2008, pet. denied) (mem. op.)

A notice of appeal filed prematurely can be saved by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(2) (notice of appeal filed after court announces order — • but before entry of judgment or order — is treated as filed on date of and after entry), but “only when a district court announces a decision that would be appealable if immediately followed by the entry of judgment,” FirsTier Mortgage Co. v. Investors Mortgage Ins. Co., 498 U.S. 269, 274-76, 111 S.Ct. 648, 112 L.Ed.2d 743 (1991). We conclude Rule 4(a)(2) does not save the instant notice of appeal filed prematurely from the dismissal order, because the order “left unresolved” the amount of attorney’s fees and costs.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack ### Response: holding rule 4a2 did not save notice of appeal filed from district court orders which left unresolved amount of statutory penalties prejudgment interest attorneys fees and costs and which called for further submissions from parties to determine those amounts as those orders could not reasonably be believed to be final " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: claim be raised not only before trial, but in the period between the selection of the jurors and the administration of their oaths, is a sensible rule.”).

Zapata Protein (USA), Inc., 128 F.3d 213, 216 (4th Cir.1997) (noting that most of the federal circuits have taken the cue from Ford and “requir[ed] Batson challenges to be raised, at the latest, before the venire is excused”); McCrory, 82 F.3d at 1247 (“The Court’s discussion in Batson, however, makes clear that it envisioned an objection raised during the jury selection process.” (emphasis added)); State v.

Texport ruled the Merchandise Processing Fee (“MPF”) to be eligible for drawback, concluding that the MPF “is explicitly linked to import activities.” See Texport, 185 F.3d at 1296. On the other hand, reasoning that the HMT is “assessed in a nondiscriminatory fashion against all shipments utilizing the ports” (not just imports), Texport ruled the HMT to be ineligible for drawback. See Texport, 185 F.3d at 1296-97. George E. Warren held the ET to be ineligible for drawback, for similar reasons. See George E. Warren Corp. v. United States, 341 F.3d 1348 (Fed.Cir.2003) ().

My reading of the legislative history of Article 120, much of which indicates a punitive motivation, and the lack of a sufficient rational nexus to any non-punitive purpose, suggest that any purported regulatory motivations are, in fact, disingenuous. Moreover, the potential non-punitive rationales for felon disenfranchisement are, in many cases, now regarded as illegitimate grounds for restricting the vote, and as such, should not be credited.

He was convicted of three felonies and sentenced to concurrent prison terms, the longest of which is 30 years. He raises four issues in this direct appeal, and we find merit in two. First, we agree with Appellant that the trial court abused its discretion when it instructed the jury that “if [Appellant] was engaged in an unlawful activity, [his] use of deadly force was not justified if he could have reasonably and safely avoided the use of deadly force by retreating.” This was an incorrect statement of then-existing law. Section 776.012(1), Florida Statutes (2010) — the sole statute on which Appellant’s self-defense claim was based— provided that “a person is justified in the use of dead DCA 2013) ().

Moreover, Reed asserted at the hearing that he sent his friends to look for Coleman, who lived two streets over from him, but none was able to locate the potential witness. Finally, Coleman himself testified that when he first heard his name was raised in the case, he did not want to get involved. He explained, “I was like they need to keep me out of it.” Because the record amply supports the determination that Coleman was unavailable, we are hard-pressed to find that the outcome of Reed’s trial would have been different had Luka investigated Coleman.

According to Mr. Flanders, the bankruptcy court erred by using the current version of 11 U.S.C. § 523 rather than the version that had been in effect when his bankruptcy petition was filed. Mr. Flanders claims that if the earlier statutory version had been used, the bankruptcy court would have concluded that his debt to Great Northern Transportation Co. had been discharged and that the bankruptcy court had enjoyed exclusive jurisdiction over dischargeability. Prior to this appeal, Mr. Flanders had not questioned the bankruptcy court’s or the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s reliance on the current statutory version. Thus, we consider this argument forfeited.

Thus, Indiana courts have consistently acknowledged the landlord's duty to render the premises habitable even in the absence of an express covenant. Although Indiana clearly recognizes the implied warranty of habitability in the context of landlord-tenant disputes, it is less obvious whether the implied warranty provides the basis for relief on claims of personal injury. See Hodge v. Nor-Cen, Inc., 527 N.E.2d 1157 (Ind.Ct.App.1988) (deelin-ing to address the extension of the warranty of habitability to personal injury claims); Old Town Dev. Co. v.

Although it is generally improper to grant summary judgment without affording the non-movant sufficient opportunity for discovery, the non-movant bears the burden of informing the district court of his need for discovery. Id. (citing Plott v. General Motors Corp., 71 F.3d 1190, 1195 (6th Cir. 1995)). Thus, before a summary judgment motion is decided, a non-movant must file an affidavit pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(f) that details the discovery needed, or file a motion for additional discovery. Wallin v. Norman, 317 F.3d 558, 564 (citing Good v. Ohio Edison Co., 149 F.3d 413, 422 (6th Cir.1998) () (internal quotation marks omitted)).

Congress intended the clause to be broadly-interpreted. Id. However, as the Sixth Circuit has recently explained: preemption and complete preemption are distinguishable concepts. Simply because a claim is preempted by ERISA does not mean it is automatically removable .... “ERISA pre-emption, without more, does not convert a state claim into an action arising under federal law.” A state claim may be preempted by ERISA; however, it is not removable unless it is completely preempted by ERISA. See Wright v. General Motors Corp., 262 F.3d 610, 614 (6th Cir.2001) (quoting Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Taylor, 481 U.S. 58, 64, 107 S.Ct. 1542, 95 L.Ed.2d 55 (1987)); see also Warner v. Ford Motor Co., 46 F.3d 531, 534 (6th Cir.1995) ().

Because the outcome is clear, we elect to address the merits of this argument. Our analysis begins and ends with the language of the AEDPA’s tolling provision. By its terms, that provision applies to state post-conviction filings directed to “the pertinent judgment or claim.” 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2). In a typical habeas case, then, the tolling provision applies only to those state post-conviction filings that seek reexamination of the relevant state-court conviction or sentence. See Rodríguez v.

The amendment, however, is not applicable to this case. The amendment concerns preemption of state causes of actions. As discussed above, this case involves the possible conflict of two federal statutes.

See Bortz v. Noon, 729 A.2d at 560. Thus, in this case, Wooding must show that his injuries were caused by Dr. Dirksmeier’s alleged lack of experience, and not simply a result of the surgery.

The object that was thrown was never recovered, and there was no testimony that the officer heard glass breaking. Although Officer Reddick presumed that had the object not hit the tree, it would have hit him, the fact is that the tree was there and Officer Reddick was not hit by the object. An analogous case is D.B.C. v. State, 341 So.2d 230 (Fla. 1st DCA 1976), where the sole witness to the incident testified that he saw appellant and two other boys throwing “something” in the direction of the train, but did not see what they were throwing. The trial court denied D.B.C.’s motion for judgment of acquittal, but was reversed on d DCA 1984)().

City of Reno, 479 Fed.Appx. 774, 774 (9th Cir.2012). 4 . Although we find that section 11135 provides the most analogous state-law claim to an ADA Title II claim, we note that the other state statutes proffered by Sharkey — the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the California Disabled Persons Act (DPA) — also provide analogous causes of action for disability discrimination. See Cal. Civ.Code §§ 51(f); 54(c); Cohen v. City of Culver City, 754 F.3d 690, 701 (9th Cir.2014) (). 5 .

SHPDA is the sole agency responsible for handling reviews of CON applications. See § 22-21-260(14) and § 22-21-264. Section 22-21-263(a), Ala.Code 1975, provides the scope of SHPDA’s review: “All new institutional health services which are subject to this article and which are proposed to be offered or developed within the state shall be subject to review under this article. No institutional health services which are subject to this article shall be permitted which are inconsistent with the [SHP].” Section 22-21-263(a) provides SHPDA with the authority to review all proposed new institutional health services subject to § 22-21-265. See Prime Lithotripter Operations, Inc. v. LithoMedTech of Alabama, LLC, 855 So.2d 1085, 1093 (Ala.Civ.App.2001) ().

We affirm 001) (same). This is especially necessary in the current case to overcome the presumption in favor of alimony that arose from the long term of the marriage. Because the final judgment contains no mention of the alimony issue, we remand for further proceedings. Staton v. Staton, 710 So.2d 744, 745-46 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998). The final judgment also did not address Mrs. Schomburg’s claim for attorney’s fees. We therefore remand with instructions that the trial court resolve this issue. Perrin, 795 So.2d at 1024 ().

Although this latter line of cases suggests that “meaningful trial proceedings” do not occur until the jury is sworn, none of these cases actually involved a motion for self-representation that was made after jury selection had begun. Thus, their focus on jury empanelment is made in the abstract and, in our view, is based on an incomplete analysis. In fact, we have only found a single case dealing with a self-representation motion that was made during jury voir dire and that case held that “meaningful trial proceedings” commenced with the beginning of jury selection. See Robards v. Rees, 789 F.2d 379, 382 (6th Cir.1986) (). The court ruled the motion untimely and ### Response: holding a selfrepresentation request untimely where made after voir dire had begun but before the jury had been empaneled " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: be and the same is hereby GRANTED.

It is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion To Stay, filed on October 5, 1999, be and the same is hereby DENIED AS MOOT. It is further ORDERED that the Motion To Dismiss, filed by Defendant James Thomas Wilcox on September 15, 1999, is left for resolution by the state court after remand. 1 . Decisions of the former Fifth Circuit rendered prior to October 1, 1981, constitute binding authority in the Eleventh Circuit. See Bonner v. City of Pilchard, 661 F.2d 1206, 1209 (11th Cir.1981) (en banc). 2 . The facts are construed in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs as they must b d 875, 877 (1st Cir.1983) ().

United States v. Morgan, 743 F.2d at 1166 (quoting United States v. Johnson, 626 F.2d 753, 757 (9th Cir.1980)). Applying the principle idea taken from United States v. Johnson, the Sixth Circuit in United States v. Morgan determined that warrantless control of a suspect inside his own home constitutes a seizure. See id. The Tenth Circuit has similarly accepted the notion that “[ojpening the door to one’s home is not voluntary if ordered to do so under color of authority.” United States v. Reeves, 524 F.3d at 1167. See United States v. Flowers, 336 F.3d at 1226 ().

Hence, the defamation claims arise under state law only, and the district court properly declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over them. For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court on alternative grounds. We DISMISS all claims against all defendants. * It is specifically noted that, in affirming the result reached by the district court on alternative grounds, this Court has not addressed, and offers no opinion on, the complicated questions of whether a Connecticut probate judge would enjoy absolute immunity for ordering a person to be arrested, as alleged by Collins, or whether a conservator would be immune for requesting such an action by the police. See Brookings v. Clunk, 389 F.3d 614 (6th Cir.2004) (); see also Tucker v.

If true, these facts permit Broadcom to antedate the Burson reference, which was filed in December 1993 — subsequent to both the lab notebook and the 1993 patent applications. See generally Mahurkar v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 79 F.3d 1572, 1577 (Fed.Cir.1996). Having been presented with the deceased inventor’s lab notebook, the patent applications, and the testimony of a co-inventor, a coworker, and Broadcom’s expert, the jury rejected Qualcomm’s invalidity contentions. Qualcomm argues that neither the lab notebook nor the 1993 patent applications disclose every limitation of the asserted claims. Qualcomm relies on our recent holding in PowerOasis, Inc. v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., 522 F.3d 1299, 1305 (Fed.Cir.2008) (), and argues that Broadcom failed to carry its ### Response: holding that once a defendant established prior art anticipating the asserted claims the burden was on the patentee to come forward with evidence to the contrary " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Regarding the subpoenas at issue in this case, the court is not persuaded that the reasoning of In re Grand Jury Proceedings (T.S.) should counsel the same result. First, it is worth noting that the cited case involved a grand jury subpoena seeking blood (evidence at the far end of the posited Fourth Amendment privacy continuum), while the material sought here is saliva (evidence falling more toward the middle of that continuum). Moreover, Supreme Court precedent in this area suggests that when a person’s Fourth Amendment rights are implicated by production demands found in a grand jury subpoena (regardless of the type of evidence sought), the proper remedy is not to require the government (or grand jury) to obtain a search warrant. See, e.g., Dionisio, 410 U.S. at 15, 93 S.Ct. 764 (). Additionally, requiring the government or ### Response: holding that a grand jury subpoena seeking a voice exemplar did not implicate fourth amendment rights but suggesting that even if it had at most the government would have been required to demonstrate that the grand jury subpoena was reasonable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: case being treated differently from those in which the broker has procured the buyer is that unlike in the latter situation, the seller is not taking the benefit of the broker’s actions. “[T]he contract bound [the seller] to pay the commission if he sold the property during the period of the agency, but did not bind him to make a sale during said period unless a buyer was found by [the broker]. The utmost of his obligation to [the broker] was to allow it to find a purchaser while its agency continued, and thereby earn a commission, or to pay [the broker] a commission not earned by it in the event defendant found a buyer and sold during the period. [The seller] would have been within his rights in refusing to sell until the expiration of the agency.” Mercantile Trust Co., 128 S.W at 23 (). Lewis and Henry S.

On appeal, defendant argues that: THE HANDGUN TAKEN FROM DEFENDANT’S BEDROOM WITHOUT A WARRANT OR CONSENT SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED AS THERE WAS NO EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE[ ] OR COMMUNITY CARETAKING EXCEPTION. The facts upon which the motion judge relied in reaching his decision are not in dispute. Therefore, we address whether the motion judge properly applied the law to those facts. In that regard we owe no special deference to any legal conclusions reached from the established facts. See State v. Brown, 118 N.J. 595, 604, 573 A.2d 886 (1990) ().

This court also has suggested that the proper approach to defining the conduct that constitutes “dishonesty” is on a case-by-case basis. See Hockett, 303 Or at 159 (noting with approval that courts of other jurisdictions determine whether acts constitute dishonesty on case-by-case basis). To evaluate the accused’s conduct in response to Martinis’s November 25,1996, letter, we first must evaluate that letter. The first paragraph states that “[a] 11 other points of your counter offer are acceptable.” The “counter offer” to which Martinis was referring included payment of $1,400 and return of the horse. The second paragraph, however, states that Martinis was tendering $2,210 “in full satisfaction” of the parties’ dispute a (1984) ().

Thus, while statistical evidence alone may be conclusive in cases where strikes are exercised against a given race disproportionately or in suspiciously large numbers, in cases where the numbers are not so compelling, the trial court may rightly find that the statistics alone do not make out a prima facie ease. Muhammad, 846 S.W.2d at 435 (analyzing Linscomb, 829 S.W.2d at 166); see also Aguilar v. State, 826 S.W.2d 760, 763 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1992, pet. ref'd) ().

To rub salt in the resultant wound, Craven further argues that he must be sentenced based on the minimum amount of marijuana contemplated by the statute (250 grams), which, with a criminal history category of I, would yield a maximum sentence of no longer than six months. See USSG § 2Dl.l(c)(17); USSG Ch.5, Pt. A (sentencing table). Craven’s argument has some problematic aspects. In the first place, Apprendi requires that “any fact (other .than prior conviction) that increases the maximum penalty for a crime must be charged in an indictment....” 120 S.Ct. at 2355. At first blush, it is unclear whether drug quantity in this instance increases the “maximum penalty” permitted by the statute. Cf. United States v. Baltas, 236 F.3d 27 (1st Cir.2001)(); United States v. LaFreniere, 236 F.3d 41 (1st ### Response: holding apprendi inapplicable in heroin trafficking prosecution even though drug quantity not determined by the jury because district court sentenced defendant within the statutory maximum " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: prejudiced the defense.” Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687-88, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). In this case, the district court held a hearing that focused on the second Strickland factor, by wading into the hypothetical merits of the would-be motion to suppress. It did not, however, address the first factor and even specifically noted on the record that the hearing was not “a 2255 hearing,” meaning it was not intended to fully address the merits of an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. Typically, we do not address ineffective assistance of counsel claims on direct appeal because the trial court record often does not contain the attorney’s rationale for the challenged action or inaction. See United States v. McCarty, 628 F.3d 284, 295-96 (6th Cir.2010) ().

The Court addresses each claim in turn, applying the above stated two-part test governing qualified immunity. a. Substantive Claim At issue is the Fourth Amendment and its prohibition against excessive force. The Fourth Amendment protects against the use of excessive force by police officers in carrying out an arrest. Graham, v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386, 394-95, 109 S.Ct. 1865, 1870-71, 104 L.Ed.2d 443 (1989); Gaudreault v.

This right is unquestionably an ‘established right,’ thus the Court assumes that Officers Tremblay and Dodge were cognizant of this right. See Fernandez v.

If so, then he lacked access to other inmates who might have written a grievance for him. We have stated that, when inmates cannot comply with grievance procedure without essential help from prison officials and that assistance is withheld, the failure of the officials to facilitate the grievance process effectively renders administrative remedies unavailable. See Dale, 376 F.3d at 656 (vacating grant of summary judgment for defendants on failure-to-exhaust defense where inmate submitted evidence that prison officials failed to respond to his requests for required grievance forms); Lewis v.

IBM’s motion for summary judgment on liability for foreign sales is deferred until trial. TM recognizes that it is not allowed to recover twice for a single instance of infringement. The Court cannot ascertain whether TM is trying to obtain double recovery until the evidence comes in. Thus, this motion is premature. 7. The parties are directed to appear for a final pre-trial conference on December 1 at 2 PM. Jury selection will commence on January 8, 2001. This constitutes the decision and order of the Court. 1 .

Gov’t of the V.I., 58 V.I. 417, 426 (V.I. 2013). By requiring that the executor or administrator have the first opportunity to decide whether a plaintiff’s claim is meritorious, and in providing an alternative avenue for prompt summary review through the probate proceedings, it is clear that the Legislature intended creditors to file suits outside of the probate proceedings as an option of last resort. 15 V.I.C. § 606(b); see Bramwell v.

Although neither counsel for the parties nor I have found any cases resolving this issue, I find it unnecessary to do so in this case because the parties have now stipulated that the Rule 106 claim should be remanded. The federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and cannot act in the absence of constitutional and statutory authority. United States v. Hardage, 58 F.3d 569, 574 (10th Cir.1995). Because it is at least questionable whether I may conduct a hearing pursuant to state procedural rules to review an action taken by a local governmental body or officer, I accept the parties’ stipulation and order that this claim be remanded. See Quackenbush v. Allstate Ins. Co., - U.S. -, -, 116, S.Ct. 1712, 1720-21, 135 L.Ed.2d 1 (1996) ().

This is incorrect; Flight Options confuses a sufficient condition with a necessary one. In Central Railroad, the United States Supreme Court explained that a state could impose an apportioned property tax on railroad cars that traveled through it on “fixed and regular routes.” 370 U.S. at 614. It also recognized that a tax situs could be created in a state through “[h]abitual employment within the State of a substantial number of cars, albeit on irregular routes.” Id. at 615. Thus, fixed and regular routes are sufficient to create a tax situs for instrumentalities of interstate commerce within a state but are not necessary. See Am. Refrigerator Transit Co. v. Hall, 174 U.S. 70, 71-72, 81-82,19 S. Ct. 599, 43 L.

In order to convict a defendant for “carrying” a firearm, it is necessary only to show that the defendant knowingly carried a gun in a car that was being used as a drug-distribution center. United States v. Range, 94 P.3d 614, 617 (11th Cir.l996)(defendant who knowingly carried a gun under the floormat of his car when delivering drug money was properly convicted of carrying a firearm under § 924(c), even though there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for use of a firearm); see also, Muscarello v.

Second, Appellant alleges the trial court erred in its calculation of fair market rent and maintenance for Mother while she lived at the Oakdale Property. Appellant argues that the trial court improperly based its determination on Appellee’s unsubstantiated and uncorroborated research. Appellant, however, did not object to the admission of this evidence at trial. See N.T. Trial, 5/4/10, at 252-53; R. 892a-93a. Accordingly, she waived the issue. See Pa.R.A.P. 302(a) (“Issues not raised in the lower court are waived and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal.”); Dilliplaine v. Lehigh Valley Trust Co., 457 Pa. 255, 322 A.2d 114, 116-17 (1974) (). Third, Appellant contends she is entitled to ### Response: holding failure to object in timely fashion at trial results in waiver of issue for appeal " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: draw negative conclusions regarding Carse’s behavior and his absence from trial. Therefore, the original venire was replaced with a new panel. 3 . Carse does not claim that he was involuntarily absent at any point during the trial. “Clearly, a defendant bears the burden of showing that his or her absence from trial was involuntary. That burden is a heavy one to meet, and rightly so.” Cassidy, 567 N.W.2d at 710. Absent an argument to the contrary, we conclude that Carse was voluntarily absent from his trial. 4 . It should be noted, however, that a district court is not required to accept a defendant's waiver of his right to be present and, particularly where identity is at issue, a defendant may be required to be present. See United States v. Moore, 466 F.2d 547, 547 (3d. Cir. 1972) (). 5 .

In Pavone and King, for example, the courts treated whether a floating gaming casino was a vessel for purposes of the Jones Act and the general maritime law, not for purposes of Mississippi state tax law or any other purpose. 10 . See, e.g., Motorola Communications & Elecs., Inc. v. Dale, 665 F.2d 771, 773 (5th Cir. 1982) (citing Richardson v.

See G. Gilmore & C. Black, The Law of Admiralty § 4-1 at 194 (2d ed.1975). We have therefore indicated that a time charterer might be hable for choosing an unsafe combination of cargo in the same hold. See Kerr-McGee, 830 F.2d 1332, 1341. A time charterer may also be liable for directing the vessel to encounter natural conditions like hurricanes or treacherous seas. See, e.g. Graham v. Milky Way Barge, Inc., 824 F.2d 376, 388 (5th Cir.1987) (upholding finding that, under the circumstances, time charterer was liable for death and injury resulting from capsizing because time charterer sent vessel into unsheltered water and failed to broadcast weather information); Helaire v.

Chapter 44 includes both § 922 and § 924, which sets out maximum sentences for offenses under this chapter. Accordingly, “for purposes of this chapter” clearly includes sentencing.

We find that determination to be adequately supported by evidence in the record and accordingly sustain it. Our conclusion that the ALJ’s factual findings must be upheld does not end our inquiry. We also consider whether the evidence supports the ALJ’s legal conclusion that Taylor’s conduct constituted “abuse” as defined by DHS, in order to support the sanction of permanent removal from employment. See N.J.S.A. 52:14B-10(c) (“A recommended report and decision [shall] contain findings of fact and conclusions of law....”). Our review of that determination is de novo. See Mayflower Sec.

In discussing the benefits of court-approved assignment of creditor claims, the Court in In re CBI Holding remarked that “[allowing a debtor’s creditors to assign their claims for the benefit of the debtor’s estate permits debtors, creditors, and bankruptcy courts the flexibility in reorganizing or liquidating a debtor’s assets necessary to achieve efficient administration of the reorganization or liquidation.” 529 F.3d at 549 (emphasis added); see also Logan v.

Booker, — U.S. --, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), and his plea agreement presumably explains why. See JA 28 (“I have been advised that I will be sentenced ... pursuant to guidelines established by the United States Sentencing Commission.”); JA 36 (“[T]he defendant knowingly waives the right to appeal the sentence imposed pursuant to this agreement.”); see also United States v.

IV. Analysis J. Thomas McCarthy, the leading commentator on the right of publicity, has characterized the determination of the right’s duration as “by nature almost arbitrary.” 2 J. Thomas McCarthy, Rights of Publicity & Privacy § 9:16 (2d ed. 2012) (henceforth, “McCarthy”). An “almost arbitrary” ruling is unacceptable, however. The following analysis seeks to avoid one. A. New Jersey Law Determines the Duration of the New Jersey Right of Publicity The right of publicity is a property right under both New Jersey common law and California statutory law. McFarland v. Miller, 14 F.3d 912, 917 (3d Cir.1994) (“In New Jersey, the right of publicity is a property right.”); Estate of Presley v. Russen, 513 F.Supp. 1339, 1355 (D.N.J. 1981) (); Cal.

Like Brown, Bolinger claimed that his waiver was ineffective because his plea agreement specified that he would be sentenced “under the guidelines.” Id. at 480. The Bolinger court rejected that argument, reasoning that “[t]he plain meaning of the plea agreement is that Bolinger waived his right to appeal the sentence ... unless he received a term of incarceration in excess of 36 months.” Id. The court explained that “focusing exclusively on the ‘under the guidelines’ language, ignores the plain meaning of the plea agreement and fails to account adequately for the express waiver of the section 3742 appeal right.” Id. at 480 n. 1. These words are equally applicable here. See also United States v. Yemitan, 70 F.3d 746, 748 (2d Cir.1995) ().

For ease of discussion, the defendants in the Sullivan Suit are referred to collectively as the ""Malta Park Defendants."" 3 .

Moreover, in an action brought under 28 U.S.C. § 1491(a), this court can only provide declaratory or injunc-tive relief “as an incident of and collateral to” a judgment for money damages. 28 U.S.C. § 1492(a)(2); see also Taylor v.

Because the infirmities in the original complaint were not cured by the allegations in the amended complaint, the district court properly denied the plaintiffs’ motion to amend. C. The district court held that “the two-year statute of limitations applicable in Section 1983 cases bars any of plaintiffs’ claims which occurred beforé October 21, 1990, two years prior to the filing date.” The plaintiffs assert that this was incorrect and that a four-year statute of limitations is actually the 19, 21 (1989) ().

Arguing that the first requirement is met here, Legg Mason contends that the civil enforcement provision found in 26 U.S.C. § 7426 vindicates the same interest that the plaintiffs seek to vindicate in their state-law claims—their interest in getting back their property. But section 7426 creates a cause of action against the federal government only, not against a third party who surrenders levied property. Because the plaintiffs in this case have chosen to sue the surrendering third party rather than the government, arguably section 7426 does not vindicate the same interest as does plaintiffs’ state-law claims. Cf. Avco Corp. v. Aero Lodge No. 735, 390 U.S. 557, 560-61, 88 S.Ct. 1235, 1237-38, 20 L.Ed.2d 126 (1968) (); Railway Labor, 858 F.2d at 942 (holding that ### Response: holding that plaintiffs statelaw claim was completely preempted under federal statute even though relief soughtan injunctionwas not available under the federal statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: open forum for student groups could not deny that forum to a student group wishing to use it for prayer and religious discussion, despite the university’s contention that to permit students to use university facilities for religious purposes would violate the Establishment Clause. Although the Court in Widmar expressly noted that its holding there did not necessarily apply in the secondary school context, see 454 U.S. at 274 n. 14, 102 S.Ct. at 276 n. 14, many members of Congress believed that secondary school students should enjoy the same constitutional rights as their older counterparts. In the absence of an authoritative Supreme Court pronouncement, however, the lower federal courts divided on the question. Compare Brandon v. Guilderland Board of Educ., 635 F.2d 971 (2d Cir.1980) (), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 1123, 102 S.Ct. 970, ### Response: holding that the establishment clause forbids studentinitiated religious meetings on public secondary school property " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: concerning avoiding use of excessive force,” as well as ""correct training and procedures for take downs.” (See ACMC and Lo-rig’s Obj.

Harvey does not expressly allege in the FAC that any defendant violated her right to equal protection. Both Dr. Lorig and ACMC, however, have discussed the merits of any such claim, to the extent Harvey is asserting one. 18 . Because the Court has found that Harvey cannot prevail on her claim that Dr. Lorig deprived her of a federal right, the Court will analyze the Monell claim against ACMC with reference to the actions of ACMC employees other than Dr. Lorig. See Orin v.

At the loan closing, the borrower was presented a Notice of Right to Cancel form nearly identical to the form at issue here. Id. at 94-95. As with the Moaus, the borrower simultaneously signed the si .Supp.2d 829, 834 (N.D.Ill.2004) (finding a certification of election not to rescind signed at closing “was, quite simply, untrue” and the average borrower would be confused); and Pulphus v.

In Fry, the Supreme Court declined to address whether exhaustion is required “when the plaintiff complains of the denial of a FAPE, but the specific remedy she requests — here, money damages for emotional distress — is not one” the IDEA provides. Fry, 137 S.Ct. at 752 n.4, 2017 WL 685533 at *8 n.4. However, this court has noted that “the IDEA’S exhaustion requirement remains the general rule, regardless of whether the administrative process offers the particular type of relief that is being sought.” J.B., 721 F.3d at 595, quoting M.P. ex rel. K. v. Indep. School Dist. No. 721, 326 F.3d 975, 980 (8th Cir. 2003). See Muskrat, 715 F.3d at 785 (); Frazier v.

The Government’s argument misses the mark. The district court’s commentary occurred before Hemphill agreed to accept the offer and to enter his plea at the plea hearing. For the reasons noted above, the district court’s commentary thereby created pressure in Hemphill’s mind to accept a plea agreement or face a potentially harsher sentence as punishment. See Rodriguez, 197 F.3d at 159-60. Although the district court did indicate that it would be impartial and that Hemphill could proceed to trial, once a court has exerted pressure on a defendant it is difficult, if not impossible, to undo the coercive effects of that pressure.

Support for the U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1(b)(5) enhancement Freeman’s final argument relating to § 2K2.1(b)(5) is that the district court did not make the necessary findings as set out in .3d 346, 349 (6th Cir.2001). Decisions from our sister circuits interpreting the current version of § 2K2.1(b)(5) also support the conclusion that this provision applies in the present case. See United States v.

See generally N.J.S.A 12A:9-301 et seq. None of the concerns addressed by the U.C.C. filing requirements are implicated in the surety context. A construction surety is “secured” not by collateral per se, but rather by the “opportunity, on default, to finish the job and apply any available funds against its cost of completion.” National Shawmut Bank, 411 F.2d at 845-46 (discussing distinctions between Article 9 and sureties). The reasoning that underlies such a result is that, but for the acts of the surety to pay materialmen and laborers and complete the project, none of the contract funds would have ever been owing to the defaulting contractor. See Jacobs v. Northeastern Corp., 416 Pa. 417, 206 A.2d 49 (1965) ().

Proceeding through the agency in this way provides the agency the opportunity to reconsider its policies, interpretations, and regulations in light of those challenges. Nor need it waste time, for the agency can waive many of the procedural steps set forth in § 405(g), see Salfi, supra, at 767, and a court can deem them waived in certain circumstances, see Eldridge, 424 U.

See generally Developments in the Law: Statutes of Limitations, 63 Harv. L.Rev. 1177, 1185 (1950). The concern is for stale claims, when witnesses and records are missing, and memories have faded. There is also the concern for repose— after some period of time, claims should not continue to hang about, unresolved. The thought is that a plaintiff cannot sleep on his or her rights, and then suddenly demand a remedy, without creating a greater wrong against the party charged, and a wrong against the peace of the community. In Board of Regents v. Tomanio, 446 U.S. 478, 487, 100 S.Ct. 1790, 64 L.Ed.2d 440 (1980), the Supreme Court said: Statutes of limitations are 3d 1349 (Fed.Cir.2002) (); Conti v.

In this case, all of the necessary elements are present for the court to conclude that the government violated its duty as a stakeholder with respect to Travelers’ subrogated equitable rights in the $32,718.99 of the contract balance that the government retained. First, “[ajbsent a viable allegation of full performance under the payment bond, the surety would be unable to invoke the doctrine of equitable subrogation.” Nova Casualty, 69 Fed.Cl. at 294; see U.S. Fid. & Guar., 475 F.2d at 1381 (citing American Sur.

Pransky failed to seasonably contest the denial of his claims for the 1984 and 1985 tax years through a proper refund action instituted within two years of their denial in 1992. In addition, the IRS notices of disallowance were forwarded to Pransky at least four months before the filing of his 1987 tax return on July 20, 1992. See 1(A) supra. The debtor cannot revive the denied and unpursued claims from his 1984 and 1985 tax returns by affixing them to a later claim. See Strat-more v. United States, 463 F.2d 1195, 1197 (3d Cir.1972) ().

MBNA claims these two cases “underpin[] all commerce clause nexus analysis.” (See Pet’r Br. at 12-16.) Consequently, the resolution of this case hinges on: 1) whether the holdings of Bellas Hess and Quill control, and, if not, 2) whether economic presence satisfies the substantial nexus requirement for purposes of Indiana’s FIT. Before 1967, the Supreme Court explained that when determining whether a nexus existed between a taxing State and a taxpayer, physical presence was not the sole factor. See, e.g., Nw. States Portland Cement v. Minnesota, 358 U.S. 450, 452, 79 S.Ct. 357, 3 L.Ed.2d 421 (1959) ().

See id. at TT20-21. We concluded there was not an identity of interest between the teenage driver of a car involved in a car accident and his father, the owner of the car, in part because their defenses and potential lability were different. See id. at 1119-20. Therefore, we determined that the plaintiff could not use rule 15(c) to add the driver as a defendant after the statute of limitations had run. See id.; but ef Nunez v.

The allowance of prejudgment interest under Kansas law is a matter of judicial discretion. See K.S.A. § 16-201; Miller v. Botwin, 258 Kan. 108, 118, 899 P.2d 1004 (1995); Crawford v. Prudential Ins. Co. of America, 245 Kan. 724, 737, 783 P.2d 900 (1989). “The general rule in Kansas is that prejudgment interest is allowable on liquidated claims.” Miller, 258 Kan. at 11 616, 618 (D.Kan.1995) (). In a fraud case, a concrete amount of money ### Response: holding that the amount of damages in a sex discrimination case was in dispute until the court entered judgment on the jury verdict the sum was not liquidated for ksa 16 201 purposes " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: S.W.2d 75, 76 (Tex.Civ.App.—Waco 1977, no writ), that the macaroni salad had been on the floor as long as the surrounding dirt on the floor, or that the dirt on the macaroni salad had dried, suggesting that it had been there for a prolonged period of time. The presence of footprints or cart tracks in the macaroni salad equally supports the inference that the tracks were of recent origin as it supports the opposite inference, that the tracks had been there a long time. In Kimbell, Inc. v. Roberson, 570 S.W.2d 587, 590 (Tex. ike it had been there awhile” is mere speculative, subjective opinion of no evidentiary value. The witnesses had not seen the macaroni salad prior to the fall and had no personal knowledge of the length of time it had been on the floor.

See Michigan Court Rule 7.302(C)(2). Although Allen’s brief is not clear on this point, she appears to argue that her conviction was actually final much earlier, on October 14, 1994, when the Michigan Supreme Court denied her application for leave to cross-appeal the Court of Appeals’s decision affirming her assault conviction. She argues for this earlier date in the apparent belief that it bolsters her contention that equitable tolling should be applied. See Part II.C.l. below. Because Allen’s conviction, under this theory, would have been final prior to the enactment of AEDPA, Allen’s time to file her habeas petition would have expired on April 24, 1997. See Austin v. Mitchell, 200 F.3d 391, 393 (6th Cir.1999) (). Allen, however, did not file her habeas ### Response: holding that petitioners whose convictions became final before the enactment of aedpa had a oneyear grace period after aedpas effective date to file their federal habeas petitions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of the profits and/or other monetary sanctions.” Am.

Compl. ¶ 123 (stating that Defendants “engaged and participated in a continuous course of conduct to misrepresent, omit to disclose, and conceal material information about the true nature and value of securities of Veras Offshore ... in connection with Gottex’s acquisition of Veras Offshore securities.”). Alternatively, Gottex could have sued to recover rescissionary damages the amount that it alleges was wrongfully withheld when Veras refused to return the full amount of its investment. See, e.g., Clark v. John Lamula Investors, Inc., 583 F.2d 594, 604 (2d Cir.1978) (permitting plaintiff to recover rescissionary damages for Rule 10b-5 claim); Chasins v.

Not even her mother’s letter mentions it, and she claims her mother heard about her expulsion. The problems with Trashehotk-ina’s explanations mean that the record does not compel us to hold that evidence corroborating the court summons or her expulsion was not reasonably obtainable. IV. Finding that key parts of Trashchotki-na’s testimony were implausible and that she failed to produce enough corroborating evidence to compensate for those implausibilities, the IJ and the BIA denied her asylum claim. Because the record does not compel us to conclude otherwise we must affirm that decision. Trashchotki-na’s ineligibility for asylum means that she is also ineligible for withholding of removal. See Rivera v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 487 F.3d 815, 820-21 (11th Cir.2007) (). Having no other challenges to the BIA’s ### Response: holding that an alien who has failed the wellfounded fear test for asylum will necessarily fail the more stringent more likely than not test for withholding of removal " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: statute). We construe rules in their entirety, not piecemeal. Cf. Vector Mktg. Corp., 156 N.H. at 783. While decisions of the federal courts may be helpful in interpreting analogous New Hampshire rules of evidence, we are the final interpreter of our rules. N.H. R! EV. 102. The defendant argues that a conviction for receiving stolen property is always suitable for cross-examination under Rule 609(a)(2) because theft is always a crime of dishonesty. We disagree. We have never addressed the admissibility of receiving stolen property under Rule 609(a)(2). While courts in several states do hold that theft, analogous to receiving stolen property, is per se dishonest and thus admissible under their state rules of evidence, see, e.g., State v. McKinsey, 810 P.2d 907, 909 (Wash. 1991) (); Com. v. Ellis, 549 A.2d 1323, 1334 (Pa. ### Response: holding receiving stolen property is per se dishonest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of Columbia, is subject to numerous delay-causing vicissitudes) could not be assured to arrive in time to extend the 60-day period. Requiring unduly early mailings to compensate for unknown mail delivery delays would force government agencies to decide large and complex monetary claims in significantly less time than the 60 days provided by statute, and thus, presumptively, in less time than intended by Congress. Plaintiff’s interpretation also would require the courts and Boards of Contract Appeals to act on claims that were not ripe and that might have been resolved more fairly, economically, and efficiently in the first instance, by those more familiar with the contract’s administration, at the agency level. Moreover, if the date hinged on actual receipt, contractor 1 BCA ¶ 28,981 (); Northrop Grumman Corp., (1999 ASBCA) 99-1 BCA ### Response: holding that a notification letter dated 10 days before the expiration of the 60day period was timely and ignoring the date of receipt " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: records and insurance documents, some of which were not previously before the Board. The RO, however, determined that the evidence of record was insufficient to reopen the claim for PTSD. Anglin filed a notice of disagreement with the decision by the RO. Following a hearing in August 1995, the Board also determined that the evidence was insufficient to reopen Anglin’s claim. The CAVC affirmed the relevant portion of the Board’s decision. The CAVC noted that Anglin could not reopen his claim for service connection for PTSD unless he was able to present new and material evidence that the alleged stressor occurred while he was on active duty. In refusing to reopen Anglin’s claim, the CAVC cited the first prong of the so-called Colvin test. See Colvin v. Derwinski, 1 Vet.App. 171 (1991) (), overruled in part by Hodge v. West, 155 F.3d ### Response: holding that new evidence is evidence not previously of record and not merely cumulative of other evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: liable for hostile environment sexual harassment. In addition, Faragher argues that the harassment was so pervasive that the City should be charged with constructive knowledge of Terry’s and Silverman’s conduct. The City argues that it cannot be held liable under agency principles for Terry’s and Silverman’s conduct because there is no evidence which supports a finding either that Terry and Silverman were acting within the scope of their authority in harassing Faragher, or that they were aided in accomplishing the harassment by the existence of their agency relationships with the City. The City further contends that the evidence is insufficient to support the trial court’s finding that the City had constructive notice of Terry’s and Silverman’s conduct. VI.Discus 1486 (3d Cir.1990)(); and EEOC v. Hacienda Hotel, 881 F.2d 1504, ### Response: holding that the plaintiff must prove that management level employees had actual or constructive knowledge about the existence of a sexually hostile environment and failed to take prompt and adequate remedial action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: would have a restrictive effect on county powers rather than a liberal one — that is, it would be restrictive on the successor governing body. Again, we find the statutory requirement to liberally construe the powers of a county, as long as consistent with our Constitution and general laws, to be compatible with Newman’s policy of prohibiting local governing bodies from binding their successors as to governmental functions unless clearly authorized by enabling legislation. Cunningham argues in the alternative that the payment of severance under his employment contract would be a proprietary function rather than a governmental function, and, hence, the 2008 Council was permitted to bind the 2009 Council as to payment of his severance. See Cowart I, 319 S.C. at 132, 459 S.E.2d at 880 (). Again, the appointment of a public officer is ### Response: holding that if the contract involves the exercise of the municipal corporations business or proprietary powers it is binding on successor bodies if at the time the contract was entered into it was fair and reasonable and necessary or advantageous to the municipality " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: evidence during the preliminary investigation of a crime and made false statements at a press conference announcing the indictment of the petitioner. The Court held that the prosecutors did not have absolute blishing that absolute immunity protects him from potential liability for the other instances of misconduct alleged by Moore. Intimidating and coercing witnesses into changing their testimony is not advocatory. It is rather a misuse of investigative techniques legitimately directed at exploring whether witness testimony is truthful and complete and whether the government has acquired all incriminating evidence. It therefore relates to a typical police function, the collection of information to be used in a prosecution. See, e.g., Barbera v. Smith, 836 F.2d 96, 100 (2d Cir.1987) () (emphasis original). “When a prosecutor ### Response: holding acquiring evidence which might be used in a prosecutionin contradistinction to organization evaluation and marshalling of such evidence is activity of police nature and is therefore not entitled to absolute protection " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: it must be satisfactory to us” bestowed upon the plan’s administrator discretion regarding the payments of benefits, and therefore, an arbitrary and capricious standard of review applied. Id. at 379. Here, the plan stated that “when proof is received by [Defendant] that an insured employee is totally disabled ..., [Defendant] will pay a monthly benefit to the insured employee after the completion of the elimination period. This monthly benefit will be paid as long as total disability continues provided that proof of contingent total disability is submitted ... to [Defendant] upon request.” The Court finds that this language is sufficiently similar to that found in Patterson and Donato by which we are bound. See Bali v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield Ass’n, 873 F.2d 1043, 1047 (7th Cir.1989) (). Accordingly, an arbitrary and capricious ### Response: holding that language determined on the basis of medical evidence satisfactory to the committee sufficiently granted plan administrator discretion " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 359-C:8,1(c), :10,1(b), :12, :14. It is apparent from reading the statute in its totality that the reference in section 13 to “action[s] to enforce liability for a violation of... this chapter” is meant to refer to those remedies explicitly authorized by the statute and is not intended to create any additional rights of action. Although we generally presume that the legislature does not use superfluous or redundant words, see Appeal of Derry Educ. Assoc., 138 N.H. 69, 71 (1993), interpreting RSA chapter 359-C to create additional remedies would circumvent the statute’s plain meaning, in light of the express language in section 14-a. Cross further argues that she is entitled to costs and attorney’s fees associated with her suppression motion. See State v. Flynn, 123 N.H. 457, 465 (1983) (). At oral argument, Cross’ counsel conceded ### Response: holding that because suppression of illegally obtained evidence is a form of injunctive relief suppression of defendants bank records obtained in violation of rsa chapter 359c is an appropriate remedy " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: ENFORCEABLE? It is well settled that forum selection clauses are presumptively valid. See The Bremen v. Zapata Off-Shore Co., 407 U.S. 1, 92 S.Ct. 1907, 32 L.Ed.2d 513 (1972); Allen v. Lloyd’s of London, 94 F.3d 923, 928 (4th Cir.1996). However, “the presumption of [validity] that forum selection ... provisions enjoy is not absolute, [rather such provisions] may be overcome by a clear showing that they are ‘unreasonable under the circumstances.’ ” Allen, 94 F.3d at 928 (citing The Bremen, 407 U.S. at 10, 92 S.Ct. 1907). In Allen, the Fourth Circuit explained that choice of forum “provisions may be found unreasonable if (1) their formation was induced by fraud or overreaching; (2) the complaining party ‘will for all practical purposes be deprived of his day at 593-94, 111 S.Ct. 1522 (). Relying on Yoder, ACC contends Oracle had ### Response: holding that nonnegotiated forum selection clause in a cruise ticket was enforceable and reasonable because 1 a cruise fine has a special interest in limiting the fora in which it potentially could be subject to suit 2 a cruise ship typically carries passengers from many locales it is not unlikely that a mishap on a cruise could subject the cruise line to litigation in several different fora 3 a forum selection clause has the salutary effect of dispelling any confusion about where suits arising from the contract must be brought and defended sparing litigants the time and expense of pretrial motions to determine the correct forum and conserving judicial resources that otherwise would be devoted to deciding those motions and 4 because passengers who purchase tickets containing a forum clause benefit in the form of reduced fares reflecting the savings that the cruise line enjoys by limiting the fora in which it may be sued " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and at oral argument EPA was emphatic: it did not waive its non-merits, threshold defense that Petitioners are barred from challenging the wastewater limits because they failed to object to them during the notice and comment period. Resp. Br. 33-35; Oral Arg. Rec. at 30:00-32:00; 40:30-45:00. EPA contended that, if the court found the issue to be properly before the court, then and only then would EPA “not oppose” a stay or vacatur of the wastewater limits. Resp. Br. 35. EPA’s consent is not alone a sufficient basis for us to stay or vacate a rule. The court is not bound to accept, and indeed generally should not uncritically accept, an agency’s concession of a significant merits issue. Cf. Bowen v. Georgetown Univ. Hosp., 488 U.S. 204, 212-13, 109 S.Ct. 468, 102 L.Ed.2d 493 (1988) ().

Under the first prong, Marcotte has shown that, without considering the Loan payments, his monthly income is insufficient to meet his basic needs. Therefore, if required to make monthly payments on the Loan, his budget would result in a larger deficit and he would be unable to maintain a minimal standard of living. With regard to the second prong, Mar-cotte has proven that additional circumstances exist indicating that his state of affairs is likely to persist for a significant portion of the loan’s repayment period. His injuries have rendered him unable to work and there is no indication that his condition will improve. He collects SSDI as his only income and his medical expenses will persist. Cf.

Rather, a plaintiff will satisfy the “injury” requirement if it demonstrates merely a credible or well-founded fear that the statute will be enforced against it. See id. (citing Babbitt v. United Farm Workers Nat'l Union, 442 U.S. 289, 298, 99 S.Ct. 2301, 60 L.Ed.2d 895 (1979)). A plaintiff demonstrates proof of a credible or well-founded fear of prosecution if the statute in question can reasonably be construed to cover the expressive or communicative activities in which a plaintiff presently engages or reasonably intends to engage in the future. See id. at 380-83; Babbitt, 442 U.S. at 299-300, 99 S.Ct. 2301; Landell v. Sorrell, 118 F.Supp.2d 459, 475-76 (D.Vt.2000). Compare Fifth Ave. Peace Parade Comm. v.

Pursuant to Allen, Texas debtors are no worse off than Louisiana debtors following McManus, and the 1984 amendment of § 522(b) does not undermine the validity of either holding. Appellants finally resort to the contention that our prior decisions erroneously construe § 522(f) and should be reversed. There is a split of authority on this question concerning the interaction of § 522(f) and state exemption statutes. 3 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 522.29 n. 2a (15th Ed. 1987).

The 911 caller was at the scene, and she told the police that she had observed the defendant drag the victim into the house by the neck and heard the victim calling for help. Officer Jean-Francois was able to confirm that there was a woman in the house when he personally heard her screams. Under these circumstances, the officers’ belief that immediate action was necessary to protect life and to prevent serious bodily injury was reasonable. See Arango v.

We find the cases cited by plaintiff of little precedential value. In none of the cases cited by plaintiff was the reviewing court asked to decide whether the construction statute of repose governed over the Act’s two-year statute of limitations. In fact, none of these cases cite to or mention the Act’s two-year limitations period. We are also unpersuaded by plaintiffs reliance on cases comparing the limitations period in section 13 — 214(a) of the Code with the limitations period found in other statutory provisions of the Code. None of those cases addressed the role of the Act’s limitations period. See, e.g., Hernon v. E.W. Corrigan Construction Co., 149 Ill. 2d 190, 196 (1992) (); Tatara, 283 Ill.

And as the district court’s order in CV 29 was not itself a § 1477(c) remand order, § 1447(d) does not preclude this court from reviewing the district court’s legal determination that it had no authority to review the remand order. ii) Certification Plaintiffs also contend that federal court jurisdiction in this case was divested when the district court clerk sent a certified copy of the April 1999 remand order to the Michigan state court. In dicta, we have recognized that such certification generally divests federal courts of jurisdiction. See Brierly v. Alusuisse Flexible Packaging, Inc., 184 F.3d 527, 531 (6th Cir.1999). Several other circuits have explicitly adopted this divestment principle. See, e.g., In re Lowe, 102 F.3d 731, 732, 735 (4th Cir.1996) (); Trans Penn Wax Corp. v. McCandless, 50 F.3d ### Response: holding that mere entry of a remand order divests a federal court of jurisdiction even where no certified copy of the order was mailed to a state court " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and on reconsideration. (T. 95-97). An administrative law judge (“ALJ”) held a hearing in the case on February 20, 1996 (T. 29-77), and issued a decision dated April 22, 1996. (T. 16-20). The ALJ found that Jermaine was not eligible for SSI benefits. (T. 20). That determination became the final decision of the Commissioner when the Appeals Council denied plaintiffs request for review on April 23, 1998. (T. 5-6). This action, commenced pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 405(g) and 1383(c)(3), to review the Commissioner’s determination followed. DISCUSSION A. The Standard of Review The first issue to be determined by this Court is whether the Commissioner applied the correct legal standard. Tejada v. Apfel, 167 F.3d 770 (2d Cir.1999); see also Johnson v.

In this case, Petrosino asserts that Bell Atlantic is automatically vicariously liable for the gender-hostile work environment created by its employees and supervisors because that conduct culminated in two tangible adverse employment actions: her failure to receive managerial promotions and her constructive discharge.

City Court of City of Mesa, 127 Ariz. 155, 618 P.2d 1081 (1980), another decision involving charges brought pursuant to A.R.S. section 13-1403. In Rolph, the Arizona Supreme Court contrasted the two statutes and held that A.R.S. section 13-1402 (indecent exposure) was not a lesser included offense of A.R.S. section 13-1403 (public sexual indecency) as the latter statute did not require public nudity as an element. Id. at 159, 618 P.2d at 1085. As a result, it was unnecessary for the court to determine what other elements were required for a conviction under A.R.S. section 13-1402. See also State ex rel.

This was error under Rule 32.1. Further, we cannot conclude that the district court would have admitted the hearsay if it had properly balanced the interests because, even if the hearsay was reliable (which we think it was), the government has offered no reason whatsoever for failing to produce Simmons. Accordingly, there is nothing in the record to balance against Mosley’s interest. Nonetheless, even where a proper balancing of the interests would weigh in favor of excluding hearsay, its erroneous admission may still be harmless for the alternate reason that the violation of supervised release would have been found even without the hearsay evidence. See, e.g., United States v. Johnson, 927 F.2d 999, 1003-04 (7th Cir.1991) ().

As detailed above, myriad evidence establishes that the 2016 Plan makes it easier for supporters of Republican candidates to translate their votes into seats in the state’s congressional delegation and diminishes the need for Republican representatives to respond to the interests of voters who support non-Republican candidates. See supra Part III.B. Accordingly, even if the speech of voters who support non-Republican candidates was not in fact chilled — if, for example, they had all continued to vote for, speak on behalf of, donate money to, and campaign for such candidates — the 2016 Plan nonetheless “adversely affected” such voters’ First Amendment rights by diluting the electoral power of their votes.

As applicable to Mr. Leroy’s situation, § 3582(c) allows the court to modify a sentence only if the sentencing range is subsequently lowered by the Sentencing Commission. A reduction of a defendant’s sentence “is not consistent with [the Sentencing Commission’s] policy statement and therefore is not authorized under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)” if the amended drug-quantity table “does not have the effect of lowering the defendant’s applicable guideline range.” U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a)(2)(B) (Supp.2008). Amendment 706 has no effect on the Guideline Mr. Leroy was sentenced under; accordingly, his motion for relief pursuant to § 3582(c)(2) was properly denied. Cf. Sharkey, 543 F.3d at 1238-39 ().

Second, Plaintiff argues that Iravani’s attendance at the one-day Philadelphia meeting between Cohen, Iravani, Heller, and their respective lawyers supports specific jurisdiction. However, like the phone calls made by Lemley to Cohen, this contact is not sufficiently related to Plaintiffs wrongful initiation of civil proceedings cause of action. This meeting occurred after the filing of suit, and therefore, while it might serve as evidence of an improper purpose, it is not a cause of or even an impetus for Iravani’s allegedly wrongful initiation of the Connecticut Litigation.

First, as the Appleton Papers court correctly concluded, imposing liability on parties lacking this knowledge would not deter them from arranging for the disposal of a product they do not believe to be harmful. See id, It cannot be said, moreover, that such a party was attempting to “contract away” its responsibility for polluting if it did not even realize it was polluting. See id. This interpretation is also consistent with the Supreme Court’s recognition that parties who arrange for the sale of a useful product that contains hazardous substances are not liable as arrangers under CERCLA even when they know the substances “will be leaked, spilled, dumped, or otherwise discarded.” Burlington N., 556 U.S. at 510, 129 S.Ct. 1870 ().

See Van Deelen v. Johnson, 497 F.3d 1151, 1153 n. 1 (10th Cir.2007). But a liberal construction of his papers does nothing for Mr. Leo because his arguments are based upon a misconception of the en if the 2007 online application and the 2008 applications were separate transactions, there is no reason why Mr. Leo’s claims concerning his 2007 application could not have been asserted in his first action.

Further, we find the legislature’s adoption of S.C.Code Ann. § 36-2A-528(2) is consistent with adoption of the lost volume seller doctrine. Section 36-2A-528(2) (dealing with leased goods) tracks the language of S.C.Code Ann. § 36-2-708(2) (seller’s damages for sales). Section 36-2-708 clearly tracks the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code section (UCC § 2-708(2)) upon which the lost volume seller doctrine is premised. See generally, Jerald B.

The majority lists several other differences between the FMA and section 78-3-31.

This fact was first conveyed to Kustom by Norwood’s attorney’s letter of November 3, 2009, which also claimed to terminate the license agreement. But the successor Norwood stands in the shoes of the Old Norwood, and is therefore estopped from attempting to piggyback on Old Norwood’s 2008 notice, given Kustom’s curative efforts and Old Norwood’s ensuing silence and continued commerce with Kustom. Norwood was required to provide new notice and an opportunity to cure whatever breaches it may have alleged prior to terminating. Although the Court previously found in this entry that Kustom committed the first material breach, that breach did not discharge Norwood from its contractual obligations to Kustom. See Frazier v.

This mandatory language requires the Commission to compute a CTSA in order to pass along to ratepayers not only actually realized tax savings achieved via a consolidated return but even unrealized or hypothetical tax savings that have been forgone by a utility and its affiliates in unreasonably choosing not to consolidate returns when they are able to do so. The legislative intention expressed in section 36.060 requires that available tax savings inure to ratepayers.

A. Sturm’s first claim is that Congress did not intend the Hobbs Act to apply to actions based on a creditor’s fear of nonre-payment. He supports this claim by pointing to the absence of any mention of such actions in both the statute’s legislative history and in cases interpreting the statute. He argues that extending the statute to include such actions would interfere with state sovereignty and squander federal judicial resources. We find Sturm’s arguments unpersuasive. The statute provides a precise definition of extortion, and there is persuasive evidence that Congress intended “to make punishable all conduct falling within the reach of the statutory language.” United States v. Culbert, 435 U.S. 371, 377, 98 S.Ct. 1112, 1116, 55 L.Ed. 2d 349 (1978) ().

Moreover, “we are not bound to interpret the two provisions as if they were mirror images, even where the text is similar or identical.” Edmunds, 586 A.2d at 895-96. Indeed, we have previously found Section 9 to provide greater protection than the Fifth Amendment, despite the similar language. See, e.g., Commonwealth v.

See 18 U.S.C.A. § 2252A (West Supp.1999). In any CPPA prosecution, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the individual “knowingly” produced, distributed, or possessed sexually explicit material and that the material depicts a person who appeared to the pornographer to be under the age of eighteen.

The plaintiffs alleged that their likenesses were appropriated to endorse a product, the film, without their permission. Id. at 728. The court found in that case that the plaintiffs could not overcome the defendant’s First Amendment defense, even where the portrayal of the plaintiffs was partly fictionalized, and even where the likenesses of the plaintiffs were used to promote a videocassette version of the mini-series.

In Blakeley v. United Cable System, 105 F.Supp.2d 574 (S.D.Miss.2000), this court addressed the rule upon which plaintiff relies. The court first noted that “[wjithin the thirty-day period (for removal) prescribed by § 1446(b), a defendant may freely amend its notice of removal,” id. at 578, and observed further that in the view of the majority of courts, at least in more recent times, a defendant may still be allowed to amend its removal petition even after expiration of this thirty-day period in order to cure defective allegations of jurisdiction, id.

Vacating the district court’s judgment of civil contempt should satisfy Berwick’s concern that the court’s order may work further injury by Ber-wick’s being considered a recidivist in any future proceeding. It is doubtful, however, that a company that had purged its civil contempt would be characterized as a recidivist in a subsequent contempt proceeding. Cf.

Yet, the district court’s citation to § 5K2.21 in its written statement of reasons is problematic because the record does not support a finding that Gonzalez engaged in any specific conduct alleged in the dismissed charges. Upward departures based on § 5K2.21 require a finding that the defendant engaged in the conduct underlying the dismissed charges. See United States v.

Accordingly, we conclude that the requirement imposed by § 307 on abortion clinics to make arrangements for referral services to clergy, as needed, does not, on its face, establish religion in violation of the First Amendment.

Overton’s counsel clearly did not want to pursue the alleged involvement of Hernandez because it would place Overton at the scene, which was totally inconsistent with the defense theory that Overton was not at the scene and that his DNA had been planted. Overton fails to include names of other suspects allegedly concealed. Due to law enforcement’s investigation of multiple suspects here, the failure to include identification of which suspects were allegedly not disclosed constitutes an insufficient pleading. See Gore, 846 So.2d at 466-67.

Mr. Taylor insists that Dr. Finch’s report was deficient because it did not specify the basis for the doctor’s findings, particularly regarding Mr. Taylor’s fine motor skills, but the report was based on the doctor’s complete physical exam and review of Mr. Taylor’s medical records; and it was substantial evidence because it detailed Mr. Taylor’s abilities, including his hand strength, fine motor skills, and range of motion.

A follower of any non-Christian religion might well question the officers’ ability to provide even handed treatment.

Moreover, we agree with the post-conviction court's decision that these issues were available at the time of Douglas' direct appeal and, therefore, were waived for post-conviction review.

Finally, to the extent Douglas invites us to consider these issues as examples of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, we cannot. Because Douglas did not provide arguments regarding these issues, we are unable to evaluate whether Douglas' counsel committed error or whether Douglas was prejudiced thereby. See id. at 911, n. 2 ().

Second, the court noted that the trial court had authorized funds for defense counsel to retain a DNA expert, and there was no reason to assume that the effort was not made. Those conclusions are reasonable. The petitioner has not offered even a suggestion of what a defense DNA expert might have contributed to the trial inquiry. Moreover, it is reasonable to conclude that defense counsel attempted to locate someone who could provide expert advice, and no one answered the bell. The decision not to call such a witness, therefore, must be relegated to trial strategy, which is beyond the realm of criticism for defective performance.

At the hearing on the motion for new trial conducted by the trial court after we abated the appeal, the trial court considered evidence in the form of affidavits from appellant, appellant’s trial attorney, and the State’s attorney. Appellant’s affidavit acknowledged that he received and rejected the 15-year plea-bargain offer on October 4, 2002. Appellant’s affidavit is silent concerning any events that may or may not have transpired on October 3, 2002, but asserts that his trial counsel was ineffective by not conveying the appellant’s accepted plea-bargain offer of 20 years in prison, to run concurrently, before November 15, 2002, when it was withdrawn and replaced with a new plea-ba 232 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 2002, no pet.)

To escape this criticism, the privacy right enunciated in Roe v. Wade must be defined with some precision. What is protected as private is not so much the actual abortion ás the process of deciding whether or not to abort. It is this intimate and often agonizing decision which Roe v. Wade recognized must not be left to majoritarian institutions. See Harris v.

However, fundamental error analysis is rarely used in the civil context. Williams v. Thude, 188 Ariz. 257, 260, 934 P.2d 1349, 1352 (1997). Civil commitment hearings are not criminal proceedings.

Section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor Management Relations Statute (“FSLMRS” or “Statute”) provides for Authority review of labor arbitration awards involving parties covered by the Statute. 5 U.S.C. § 7122(a) (1988). However, section 7123(a) of the Statute precludes judicial review of final orders of the Authority “involving an award by an arbitrator,” unless the order involves an unfair labor practice. 5 U.S.C. § 7123(a) (1988). This case falls squarely within the ambit of preclusion under section 7123(a). The DCJ argues that, notwithstanding this preclusion, we should consider its petition for review under the doctrine enunciated in Leedom v. Kyne, 358 U.S. 184, 188, 79 S.Ct. 180, 184, 3 L.Ed.2d 210 (1958) ().

Based on our reading of Gilleo and the other Supreme Court cases cited above, we conclude that an underinclusive time, place, and manner regulation that is otherwise valid must be found to be constitutional so long as it does not favor one side of an issue and its rationale is not undermined by its exemptions. Cf. Moser v. FCC, 46 F.3d 970, 974 (9th Cir.1995) ().

Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 690, 694, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). We have held that, to be deemed competent, a defense attorney must, “at a minimum, conduct a reasonable investigation enabling him to make informed decisions about how best to represent his client.” Sanders v. Ratelle, 21 F.3d 1446, 1456 (9th Cir.1994) (emphasis in original); see also Jennings v. Woodford, 290 F.3d 1006, 1011(9th Cir.2002); Johnson v. Baldwin, 114 F.3d 835, 840 (9th Cir.1997). Thus, an attorney’s performance is constitutionally and unreasonably deficient when he “neither conduetts] a reasonable investigation nor ma[kes] a showing of strategic reasons for failing to do so.” Sanders, 21 F.3d at 1456; see also Phillips v.

Moreover, in light of the officers’ unclear testimony, it is just as likely that consistent with Wallace’s testimony, a black male, who may have been Bellflower, or who looked like Bellflower, was crossing the street a few yards from where she and McCray were standing. Based on the evidence presented at the hearing, the court cannot credit Muniz’s claim that the three were huddled together suspiciously. Even if Bellflower was standing with Wallace and McCray, the officers still did not have a reasonable suspicion to believe that a drug transaction was occurring. Proximity to a drug dealer can be a factor that gives rise to reasonable suspicion. See United States v. McGlory, 968 F.2d 309, 342 (3d Cir.1992) (); United States v.

Accordingly, § 1498 encompasses “any direct infringement that would normally require a license by a private party.” Id. at 1320. Infringement is a prerequisite to § 1498(a) liability; the government’s infringement triggers its obligation to pay just compensation. See James v.

Id. at 710; Femandez-Ruiz, 466 F.3d at 1129-30. Today we reaffirm that more than recklessness or gross negligence is required, and more specifically hold that Begay can be satisfied by knowing conduct. In addition, we note that every circuit to have addressed the issue has held that Begay’s “purposeful conduct” requirement is satisfied where the underlying state offense requires the defendant to act knowingly.

This interpretation of Montana’s constitution is supported by the decisions of other jurisdictions which have held their state constitutions to encompass a fundamental right to the opportunity to pursue employment. For example, the right to pursue any proper vocation under the personal liberty clause of Indiana’s state constitution is a fundamental right. Kirtley v. State (Ind. 1949), 84 N.E.2d 712, 714 ().

After the entry of the stipulated judgment, Bay Bridge moved to vacate the judgment because the person who signed the stipulation on its behalf was not authorized to do so. The Superior Court denied the motion, and, on appeal, we vacated the judgment against Bay Bridge. See Hamill v. Bay Bridge Assocs., 1998 ME 181 P.2d 435, 437 (1978) (same). 4 . Defendants also suggest that a creditor may not simultaneously pursue alternate remedies to collect a debt. Defendants do not assert, however, that Hamill pursued conflicting remedies regarding the auctioned assets. Nor do defendants present any reasoned basis for vacating or otherwise amending the judgment on the basis of other collection efforts by Hamill. See Glamorgan Coal Corp. v.

Farmer, Dunbar, Sarnecky, and Wattai — Official Capacities — All Claims Longoria’s remaining claims are against individual state officers acting in their official capacities. Because a suit against an officer in his or her official capacity is effectively a suit against the state itself, only prospective injunctive relief is available against such defendants, absent a waiver by the state of its sovereign immunity.

In this Court, Tucker has pursued only the issue of whether Thomas’s attorney’s fees could be awarded as additional child support, and we granted his petition to resolve the disagreement among the courts of appeals. 56 Tex.

The final judgment awarded to Beekie was twenty-five percent greater than any of Beekie’s proposals for settlement. In regard to the final proposal for settlement, the request for fees was denied because it included the ambiguous condition that proof was required demonstrating an ability to pay the amount demanded. We agree with the trial court that the last proposal cannot be a basis for an award of attorney’s fees because it was both ambiguous and failed to make it clear that it was solely for personal injuries when the settlement of the property damage claim had not yet been fully consummated. See, e.g., Nichols v. State Farm Mut., 851 So.2d 742 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) (), rev. granted, 03-01653 (Fla.

See Orr v. Bank of Am., 285 F.3d 764, 772 (9th Cir. 2002). Appellant § 1983 claims against Appellee Daetwyler fail because he has failed to raise any factual allegations indicating that Appellee Daetwyler acted under color of state law by “jointly engaging] with state officials in the challenged action.” Dennis v.

Even though strict construction of statutory provisions waiving sovereign immunity is required, it is also true that words in statutes are to be considered in their plain and ordinary meaning in order to ascertain the intent of the lawmakers. The statute refers to “a public entity’s property” and the definition of property suggests more than a fee simple ownership. Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary defines, property as “something owned or possessed.” Under the facts of the present case, a definition of the term “public entity’s property” includes the exclusive control and possession of a polling place. Id. (citations omitted); see also Tillison v. Boyer, 939 S.W.2d 471, 473 (Mo.App. E.D.1996) ().

See In re Estate of Krotiuk, supra, 12 P.3d at 305. In SSMC, Inc., N.V. v. Steffen, supra, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit held that the dismissal of a compulsory counterclaim without prejudice had the same effect as a dismissal with prejudice. In contrast, Arkansas allows a party to refile a compulsory counterclaim that was dismissed without prejudice. See, e.g., Linn v. NationsBank, 341 Ark. 57, 14 S.W.3d 500 (2000)().

III. PROOF THAT THE ITEM WAS A FIREARM Gregory further contends that the evidence failed to prove that the Remington model 522 semi-automatic rifle was a “firearm.” While not defined by Code § 18.2-308.2, a “firearm” for purposes of this statute is any device “that propel[s] a projectile by an explosion or discharge of gunpowder.” Jones v.

Nor did Prado’s experiences with the local police amount to persecution. Prado testified that he was arrested once on an issue unrelated to his sexuality, and while in custody he was insulted and threatened based on his sexuality, but not physically abused. Another time, he was insulted and struck by a police officer outside a nightclub. Though the officers’ behavior was demeaning and frightening, it was not severe enough to be called persecution.

See State v. Superior Court, 188 Ariz. 372, 936 P.2d 558, 559 (Ct.App.1997) (noting the general rule that, when interpreting criminal damage statutes without a precise definition of “property of another,” the term included any property in which the defendant had anything less than exclusive ownership); State v.

The Eighth Circuit has adopted the second interpretation — that the FCIA applies to judgments entered before the act’s effective date for interest accruing in the entire period following the judgment. See R.W.T. v. Dalton, 712 F.2d 1225, 1234-35 (8th Cir.)

The transfer of rights to property of debtor Think3 (like the alleged transfer of Think3’s rights in the Toyota receivable through the Mandatory Prepayment Agreement) and granting of security interests may plausibly constitute “transfers” of Think3’s property that are avoidable preferences. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(54) (defining “transfer” broadly as creating a lien, or directly or indirectly disposing or parting with the debtor’s property or an interest in the debtor’s property); Cullen Center Bank & Trust v. Hensley (In re Criswell), 102 F.3d 1411, 1415 (5th Cir.1997) (definition of “transfer” for purposes of § 547 is comprehensive, broad, and includes every conceivable mode of alienating property); Cadle Co. v.

Under the Supreme Court’s “public function” test, a private entity acts under color of state law “when that entity performs a function which is traditionally the exclusive province of the state.” Wong v. Stripling, 881 F.2d 200, 202 (5th Cir.1989). The Supreme Court has explained that “when private individuals or groups are endowed by the State with powers or functions governmental in nature, they become agencies or instrumentalities of the State and subject to its constitutional limitations.” Evans v. Newton, 382 U.S. 296, 299, 86 S.Ct. 486, 15 L.Ed.2d 373 (1966). Thus, the Supreme Court has found private actors to be susceptible to suit under § 1983. E.g., West, 487 U.S. at 54-57, 108 S.Ct. 2250 (). Relevant to this case, the Supreme Court has ### Response: holding that private doctor under contract with a state prison to provide medical care to prisoners acted under color of state law when he treated inmate " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of member grievances.

International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 462 U.S. at 168-69, 103 S.Ct. at 2292-93. In furtherance of the second, members must exhaust internal union remedies before bringing an action against the union. Cf. Clayton v. United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, 451 U.S. 679, 689, 101 S.Ct. 2088, 2095, 68 L.Ed.2d 538 (1981). Other Circuits have addressed these competing policies and have chosen in favor of requiring exhaustion of internal union remedies. See, e.g., Hester v. International Union of Operating Engineers, 818 F.2d 1537, 1546 (11th Cir.1987) (); Dunleavy v. Steelworkers Local 1617, 814 F.2d ### Response: holding that the timeliness of the employees suit is measured from the later of the date the employee knew or should have known of the employers final action or the date the union appeals procedure is exhausted or otherwise broken down to the employees disadvantage " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: testimony of several alleged bookmakers and gamblers whose names were mentioned in recorded conversations involving the defendants. Corrado surmises that the government found and subpoenaed these alleged bookmakers and gamblers, and that their testimony befox-e the grand jury was favorable to the defendants. None of these alleged bookmakers were called to testify at trial. The district court denied Corrado’s motion for disclosure on the ground that Corrado was not charged in the indictment with extorting any of these alleged bookmakers and, therefore, even if their grand jury testimony indicated no illegal behavior on Corrado’s part, it was not exculpatory as to the extortion charges that were in the indictment.

At the outset, we note that because the family court was in a better position to assess the credibility and demeanor of the witnesses, we defer to the family court as to any alleged error regarding the specific factual findings. After observing these parties over the course of a three-day hearing, the family court was in a better position to evaluate their credibility and assign comparative weight to their testimony. See S.C. Dep’t of Soc. Servs. v. Mary C., 396 S.C. 15, 26, 720 S.E.2d 503, 509 (Ct. App. 2011) (); Pinckney v.

The constitutionality of the Act has been upheld in United, States v. Shrake, 515 F.3d 743, 745-46 (7th Cir.2008), and United States v. Johnson, 456 F.Supp.2d 1016, 1019 (N.D.Iowa 2006) ().

Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b). Virginia Lee here seeks relief under subpart (b)(6), which is exclusive of the other subparts of the rule and provides relief for “any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(6). Therefore, I assess the timeliness of Virginia Lee’s motion on reasonableness grounds. Under Rule 60(b), timeliness must be shown by the movant. See Werner v. Carbo, 73 d 535, 538 (4th Cir.1991) ().

City of Edgerton, 151 F.3d 646, 649 (7th Cir.1998) (probation officers). Benson concedes that the defendants’ actions were sufficiently associated with the judicial phase of the criminal process such that, to the extent immunity should attach, absolute rather than qualified immunity would be appropriate. He contends, however, that “the complete lack of [personal and subject matter jurisdiction] from and after the expiration of [his] parole eliminates the ... absolute immunity with which [the] defendants would otherwise be cloaked.” In support of his contention, he relies on cases establishing that judges who act in the “clear absence of jurisdiction” are not entitled to absolute immunity. See, e.g., Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 98 S.Ct. 1099, 55 L.Ed.2d 331 (1978) ().

The law is clear that courts must be sparing in their use of equitable tolling. There are, however, narrow circumstances in which the misbehavior of an attorney may merit such equitable relief. See, e.g., Cantrell v. Knoxville Community Dev. Corp., 60 F.3d 1177, 1180 (6th Cir.1995) (equitable tolling may be appropriate where attorney has abandoned client). As a preliminary matter, we note that it is settled that the ninety-day time limit in which a plaintiff must file a Title VII action is akin to a statute of limitations rather than a jurisdictional bar. Therefore, the time limit is subject to tolling. See, e.g., Zipes v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 455 U.S. 385, 393, 102 S.Ct. 1127, 71 L.Ed.2d 234 (1982) (); Oshiver v.

The United States Supreme Court has never declared its right to counsel principles applicable to invoking the right to silence, and under AEDPA that precedent was not “clearly established” when the California Court of Appeal rendered its decision.

He explained these findings to the IEP team, which then discussed whether ESY services were warranted for the six-week break during the summer of 1998. The team found, based on this information, that they were not. While the parents did not agree with this conclusion, it was based on observations that indicated that M. would not significantly regress during the break period, followed by a thorough discussion among the members of the IEP team regarding M.’s unique needs. That is the key requirement under the law, and it was clearly complied with here. See Adams, 195 F.3d at 1150 ().

The aircraft was clearly paid for prior to the commencement of Dr. Howard’s fraudulent activities. And, although it was used by Dr. Howard to obtain his personal loan, it is not clear the loan’s proceeds were used to pay the mortgage on the St. Joe, Florida property. In any event, it seems apparent, absent further briefing on the issue, that because the airplane was paid for with legitimately acquired funds, the value of the plane associated to those funds are not subject to forfeiture by the government.

It is therefore unnecessary to consider this issue. Defendant’s sole argument is that plaintiff has failed to show that there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendant’s alleged harassment was based on sex. According to defendant, the evidence shows at most that defendant’s alleged sexual advances were based on “characteristics personal to” plaintiff. Id. As an initial matter, I note that, unlike Title VII, the guarantees of the equal protection clause are not limited to a specified list of groups. Although Title VII applies only to discrimination based on sex, race, ethnicity, national origin and religion, the equal protection clause extends to all forms of discrimination. E.g., Nabozny v.

The trial court specifically found that the resurfacing project constituted an “upgrade.” At that point, the decision not to improve the guardrail constituted an “operational level” decision and not a “broad public policy” decision protected under the “discretionary function exception” of the State Tort Liability Act. Any arguments that the trial court erred in its determination that the resurfacing project in this case was an “upgrade” are foreclosed by the State’s failure to challenge the pertinent FOFs. The conclusion that the “discretionary-function” exception does not apply here is further supported by at least three decisions of this court. See Nakahira v.

In Maryland v.

Craig, 497 U.S. at 851, 110 S.Ct. 3157. The Supreme Court also explained that “if the State makes an adequate showing of necessity, the state interest in protecting child witnesses from the trauma of testifying in a child abuse case is sufficiently important to justify the use of a special procedure that permits a child witness in such cases to testify at trial against a defendant in the absence of face-to-face confrontation with the defendant.” Id. at 855, 110 S.Ct. 3157 (); see also Jelinek v.

Lloyds claims that the district court erred in concluding that there was general jurisdiction because Lloyds does not maintain any office to transact business in Tennessee, is not registered to do business in Tennessee, has no employees in Tennessee, owns no property in Tennessee, and did not solicit any business in Tennessee.

But the statute cannot be read to say that the FWS is ever obligated to exclude habitat that it has found to be essential. Such a decision is always discretionary and the statute “provides absolutely no standards that constrain the Service’s discretion” not to exclude, unlike the statute reviewed in Amador County, which cab-ined the agency’s discretion to disapprove compacts to a set of specified conditions. See Conservancy of Sw. Fla. v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv., 677 F.3d 1073, 1084, n. 16 (11th Cir.2012) (distinguishing Amador County and finding that the use of the word “may” in another section of the ESA precludes the review of an agency’s exercise of discretion); see also Ekimian v.

New Haven cites to a provision of the statute defining a natural gas facility as including “any natural gas transmission line,” 30 V.S.A. § 248(a)(3)(A), but this section does not signal a clear legislative intent to subject virtually every proposed gas or electric transmission line or other project component to a separate least-cost analysis when it is part of an otherwise integrated project. As the Board’s approach under § 248 was neither unreasonable nor contrary to the plain terms of the statute, and was well within the scope of its expertise, it must be upheld.

When the error is exposed on appeal, it is met by the stereotyped argument that it is not apparent it in any wise influenced the minds of the jury. The reply the law makes to such suggestion is: that, after injecting it into the case to influence the jury, the prosecutor ought not to be heard to say, after he has secured a conviction, it was harmless. State v.

In Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123, 28 S.Ct. 441, 52 L.Ed. 714 (1908), the Supreme Court established an exception to state sovereign immunity in federal actions where an individual brings an action seeking injunctive relief against a state official for an ongoing violation of law or the Constitution. Under the doctrine, a suit may proceed against a state official in his or her official capacity, notwithstanding the Eleventh Amendment, when a plaintiff, ""(a) alleges an ongoing violation of federal law and (b) seeks relief properly characterized as prospective.” See In re Deposit Ins.

LAW REGARDING UNINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE The Supreme Court of New Mexico has adopted a three-part test to determine if a motorist’s injuries, resulting from an intentional tort, arise out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of an uninsured vehicle, thus .qualifying for coverage under an uninsured motorist policy. See Britt v. Phoenix Indem. Ins. Co., 120 N.M. at 818-819, 907 P.2d at 999-1000 (adopting a three-part test articulated by the supreme courts of Colorado and Minnesota); State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins.

Additionally, in view of the above considerations and the express requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 43(a), this Panel is unable to find any authority to support the procedure implemented by the bankruptcy court in taking testimony in the underlying adversary proceeding.

While Youngs refers to Padilla as representing a “trend away from the distinction between direct and collateral consequences,” Appellant Br. at 22, Padilla’s holding was limited to the requirement of counsel to advise of deportation pursuant to their Sixth Amendment responsibilities. These Sixth Amendment responsibilities of counsel to advise of the advantages and disadvantages of a guilty plea are greater than the responsibilities of a court under the Fifth Amendment.

In the context of insurance litigation, this policy is particularly appropriate as the insurer generally controls the structure and wording of both the original instrument and its amended form. Cf. Styer, 38 Pa. D. & C.2d at 335 (“A given policy, as- delivered to the insured, contains a vast torrent of words not a part of the company’s agreement because nonapplicable provisions are not physically removed.”). To the extent that there remains any ambiguity that costs of defense include delay damages or interest running to the time of the verdict, these ambiguities are construed against the drafter-insurer. See Riccio, 705 A.2d at 426; cf. Incollingo v. Ewing, 474 Pa. 527, 379 A.2d 79 (1977) ().

We review the trial court’s order for an abuse of discretion. See Accredited Sur. & Cas. Co., Inc. v. Putnam Cnty., Fla., 528 So.2d 430, 431 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988). Palmetto contended that it substantially attempted to procure or cause the apprehension or surrender of the defendant. See Conti Heritage Ins. Co. v.

Plaintiffs’ argument is that since Brumbaugh has received deputy uniforms and a cleaning allowance he should not also receive a clothing allowance for detectives (which he did not actually need during that time given his assignment). Plaintiffs’ argument frankly ignores the pertinent statutory language. Under US-ERRA, a returning veteran is entitled to not only pay, seniority and employee benefits, but also all of the “rights and benefits” of the employment. These terms are defined at 38 U.S.C. § 4303(2) as follows: (2) The term “benefit”, “benefit of employment”, or “rights and benefits” means any advantage, profit, privilege, gain, status, account, or interest (other than wages or salary for work performed) that accrues (M.S.P.B.1996) (); Fernandez v.

We have held that persecution “requires more than a few isolated incidents of verbal harassment or intimidation, unaccompanied by any physical punishment, infliction of harm, or significant deprivation of liberty.” Mikhailevitch, 146 F.3d at 390. Thus, even if Ceraj was threatened and slapped by the police and had his radio broken, we cannot conclude that this alleged mistreatment was sufficiently grave to constitute persecution. We have previously explained that “[persecution does not encompass all treatment that our society regards as unfair, unjust, or even unlawful or unconstitutional.” Lumaj v. Gonzales, 462 F.3d 574, 577 (6th Cir.2006) ().

Because the application and affidavit submitted in the present case lacked the information required by section 810.5(4) with respect to the informant’s credibility and reliability, the facts provided by the informant should not have been considered in assessing the adequacy of the showing made for issuance of the nontestimonial identification order.

As noted, Subsections (10) and (11) are a re-enactment of Subsections (9) and (10) of Section 14 of the Wills Act of 1947; these supplanted Section 15(c) of the Wills Act of 1917, Act of June 7, 1915, P.L. 403 (superseded). Appellant acknowledges that she would have no interest in the outcome of the present will contest if the presumption as directed in Section 15(c) were to be applied to Dr. Burger's will. See Brief of Appellant at 24 (citing In re Armstrong's Estate, 347 Pa. 23, 25-26, 31 A.2d 528, 529 (1943) (); In re Morgan’s Estate, 340 Pa. 465, 467, 17 ### Response: holding that under section 15c lapsed residuary gifts fell to the remaining residuary beneficiary " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of the V.I., 184 F.

United States Gypsum Co., 333 U.S. 364, 395, 68 S. Ct. 525, 92 L. Ed. 746 (1948); see also FED. R. CIV. P. 52 (a). A trial court’s findings are thus upheld if its “account of the evidence is plausible in light of the record viewed in its entirety.” Anderson v. Bessemer City, 470 U.S. 564, 573-4, 105 S.

See U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1, comment, (n.2). In contrast, the sentencing court has the discretion to depart upward from the otherwise applicable sentencing range if the defendant “did not organize, lead, manage, or supervise another participant, but who nevertheless exercised management responsibility over the property, assets, or activities of a criminal organization.” Id. The probation officer’s recommendation that the court enhance Harness’s offense level because he had management responsibility over the assets of the victim was error, because these facts support only a discretionary decision to depart, not a mandatory enhancement under section 3B1.1(e). See, e.g., United States v. Bapack, 129 F.3d 1320, 1324 & n. 6 (D.C.Cir.1997) (); United States v.

To force IPS to provide actual notice of the opportunity for a hearing to those employees faced with discharge would, in essence, be asking a government entity to sacrifice the efficiency of its operations to factors as trivial as the holiday and travel plans of those with whom it has a duty to correspond.

II. We first address the district court’s ruling that Appellants lacked standing to bring their claims. In then-complaint, Appellants sought to enjoin Providian from engaging in alleged violation of the stay and discharge provisions. However, as the district court pointed out, the automatic stay had terminated and Providian had completed its collection efforts by the time Appellants filed suit in district court, rendering their claims for injunctive relief moot. Nonetheless, Appellants have standing. Appellants also sought monetary damages against Providian, and even such a generalized claim for monetary damages is sufficient to maintain justiciability. Shadduck v. Rodolakis, 221 B.R. 573, 579 (Bankr.D.Mass.1998) (). Hence, the district court erred in dismissing ### Response: holding that the plaintiff had standing even though automatic stay had terminated and his claims for declaratory and injunctive relief were moot because he also sought actual damages for violation of the automatic stay " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in the U.S. and incurred an economic risk in the U.S.” could sue under section 10(b)). Similarly, the location of the harm to a plaintiff is independent of the location of the securities transaction that produced the harm. Just as the situs of a defendant’s allegedly deceptive conduct is irrelevant to the transactional test, see Morrison, 130 S.Ct. at 2883-84, 2886-87, so too is the situs of a plaintiff’s alleged injury. Given that “[n]ot deception alone, but deception with respect to certain purchases or sales is necessary for a violation of the statute,” id. at 2887 (emphasis added), there is no textual or logical basis for making injury a sufficient condition for the statute’s application without the existence of a domestic purchase or sale.

STANDARD OF REVIEW {6} In relevant part, Section 31-21-15(C) states that a probationer is a fugitive “[i]f it is found that a warrant for the return of a probationer cannot be served[.]” Defendant’s jurisdictional challenge requires that we determine whether the district court properly applied Section 31-21 -15(C) to the facts of this case. Defendant thereby raises a question of law that we review de novo. See State v. Neal, 2007-NMCA-086, ¶ 16, 142 N.M. 487, 167 P.3d 935 ().

Loomis Armored Car Serv., 625 F.2d 314, 316 (9th Cir.1980). “In so doing, a federal court may be aided by looking to well-reasoned decisions from other jurisdictions.” Id. It is a well-accepted exception to the general rule that a dismissal resulting from a settlement does not constitute a favorable termination for malicious prosecution purposes. See, e.g., Cult Awareness Network v. Church of Scientology Int’l., 177 Ill.2d 267, 226 Ill.Dec. 604, 685 N.E.2d 1347, 1353 (1997) (); Cox v.

Aside from certain statutory exceptions (which the plaintiff does not allege), “[i]t has long been settled in the District of Columbia that an employer may discharge an at-will employee at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all.” Thigpen v. Greenpeace, Inc., 657 A.2d 770, 771 (D.C.1995). In considering this general principle, “[mjost courts ... have concluded that individuals who are promised at-will jobs, but whose offers of employment are retracted before the employment is to begin, have no remedy in contract law against the prospective employer.” Hyman v. First Union Corp., 982 F.Supp. 8, 13,14 (D.D.C.1997) (); see also Pfeffer v.

He contends that the inclusion of “restitution” suggests that “sentence” refers only to the period of incarceration. (If “sentence” included “restitution,” then the plea might include superfluous terms— a result we disfavor. See United States v. Rourke, 74 F.3d 802, 807 (7th Cir.1996)). Thus, he argues, the conditions of supervised release are not part of his “sentence” as that term is used in his plea agreement. Cf. id. at 806 (significant ambiguities in a plea agreement should be construed in favor of the defendant). However, Adkins’ argument conflicts with our precedent, which suggests that terms of supervised release are part of the sentence. See United States v.

This appeal was abated pending a hearing in the trial court on Appellant’s indigency. This court has since been furnished a complete record of the evidentiary hearing, including findings of fact and conclusions of law, and will now consider the cross-point as if no erroneous action had occurred. See TEX. R.APP.P. 81(a). At the evidentiary hearing the parties stipulated that Appellant had filed an affidavit of indigency, that the facts recited therein were and remain true, and that he was indigent at the time of the appeal. Based on these stipulations and the record as a whole, the court did not abuse its discretion when it ordered that he be provided a statement of facts without cost. See Rosales v. State, 748 S.W.2d 451, 455 (Tex.Crim.App.1987) ().

The court explained that applying the term “ ‘perpetrated against a minor’ to any failure to register stretches this term past its breaking point.’ ” Id. We agree. In Segura’s case, there was no specific victim attributed to his failure to register. Therefore, the crime was not perpetrated against a minor and should not qualify as a sex offense. C. Having concluded that the district court erred in finding that failure to register is a sex offense, we now discuss whether that error was plain — that is, whether the error was clear or obvious. To determine whether the district court’s error was plain, we examine the state of the law at the time of appeal. Escalante-Reyes, 689 F.3d at 423 (). Segura filed his initial brief in this appeal ### Response: holding that where the law is unsettled at the time of trial but settled by the time of appeal the plainness of the error should be judged by the law at the time of appeal " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of local traffic ordinances or to regulate, warn, or guide traffic. Nevertheless, §§ 77-9-247 and 248 (discussing installation of cross-bucks), § 77-9-251 (discussing duty of railroad in maintaining the grade), § 77-9-245 (duty to enclose depots), and § 77-9-253 (duty to maintain stock gaps and cattle guards) clearly refer to duties of the railroad in the interest of public safety. This refutes the point that KCS has no duty toward the public in operation of its railroad. However, foreseeability and breach of duty are issues to be decided by the finder of fact once sufficient evidence is presented in a negligence case. Lyle v. Mladinich, 584 So.2d 397, 400 (Miss.1991). III. WHETHER THE CIRCUIT COURT ERRED IN ALLOWING RECOVERY OF HEDONIC DAMAGES. ¶ 20. 3, 353 (Tex.Ct.App.1998) (); Kirk v.

Because such an argument does not raise a constitutional claim or question of law, the Government correctly asserts that the Court lacks jurisdiction to review Lin’s petition. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2). As such, it is dismissed. To the extent Lin asks this Court to remand his case for the taking of additional evidence not in the record, we decline to do so.

The District Court sentenced Green principally to 120 months’ imprisonment. Green appeals his sentence, arguing that the District Court erred at his sentencing by not applying the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, Pub.L. No. 111-220, 124 Stat. 2372 (“FSA”). See Dorsey v.

THE IMMUNITY ISSUE Appellants next contend that Horowitz is a public officer who is immune from suit.

C. S. §§8541-8542. Thus, the Township has no immunity from suit. But Ayala did not involve the issue of im munity granted a public official. Accordingly, Horowitz could have a defense which is unavailable to the Township. See Wicks v. Milzoco Builders, Inc., 25 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 340, 360 A.2d 250 (1976) ().

Our review of the record reveals no evidence concerning the father’s income for the years between the birth of the children in 2005 and 2009.

MOORE, Judge, concurring specially. With regard to that part of the main opinion addressing the trial court’s failure to include the health-insurance premiums in the calculation of the father’s child-support obligation, I concur only because the father did not ask this court to overrule past decisions on that issue such as Brown v.

Sanders, 430 U.S. 99, 97 S.Ct. 980, 51 L.Ed.2d 192 (1977), the Court has since made clear that jurisdiction over APA challenges to federal agency action is vested in district courts unless a preclusion of review statute specifically bars judicial review in the district court. See, e.g., Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U.S. 281, 99 S.Ct. 1705, 60 L.Ed.2d 208 (1979). Citing Carducci v. Regan, 714 F.2d 171 (D.C.Cir.1983), the defendants maintain that the APA provides no basis for this court to assert subject matter jurisdiction over the plaintiffs’ nonconstitutional claims alleged in Counts I, III, and V because the Civil Service Reform Act (“CSRA”) bars judicial review of claims within the purview of the CSRA.

The State argues that appellee has no standing to challenge the legality of the search because she was merely a passenger in the vehicle. See United States v. Spotted Elk, 548 F.3d 641, 657 (8th Cir.2008) (“The general rule is that a person has no reasonable expectation of privacy in an automobile belonging to another.”); Hughes v.

Nord, 538 U.S. 822, 123 S.Ct. 1965, 155 L.Ed.2d 1034 (2003), courts in ERISA cases “have no warrant to require administrators automatically to accord special weight to the opinions of a claimant’s physician; nor may courts impose on plan administrators a discrete burden of explanation when they credit reliable evidence that conflicts with a treating physician’s evaluation.” Id. at 834, 123 S.Ct. 1965.

The Court stated: To be sure, the Clause’s ultimate goal is to ensure reliability of evidence, but it is a procedural rather than a substantive guarantee. It commands, not that evidence be reliable, but that reliability be assessed in a particular manner: by testing in the crucible of cross-examination. The Clause thus reflects a judgment, not only about the desirability of reliable evidence (a point on which there could be little dissent), but about how reliability can best be determined.

The majority, moreover, imports into § 3583(i) something that is simply not there — an additional power automatically to further delay revocation proceedings until the defendant is in federal custody. The absence of any statutory basis for such post-term authority is particularly significant, in my view, because the statutory provisions governing supervised release do adjust in another respect for periods of incarceration on charges other than those giving rise to the term of supervised release in question. See 18 U.S.C. § 3624(e) (suspending the running of a term of supervised release while the defendant is imprisoned); cf. United States v. Morales-Alejo, 193 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir.1999) ().

In Matter of Fuentes, the BIA held, inter alia, that former membership in a national police force is an immutable characteristic and that “[i]t is possible that mistreatment occurring because of such a status in appropriate circumstances could be found to be persecution on account of political opinion or membership in a particular social group.” 19 I. & N.

We need not resolve the question of whether the trial court erred in refusing to give a manslaughter instruction, however, because of the nature of the jury verdict. Here, only Pearson’s mental state was disputed at trial. The jury had the opportunity to convict Pearson of either aggravated murder, which requires knowing or intentional killing, or simple murder, which in the case of killing a peace officer requires only recklessness. Because the jury chose to convict for aggravated murder, the court’s refusal to give an instruction on manslaughter, an offense requiring recklessness, constituted at most harmless error.

To satisfy the first requirement the rule must be legislative in nature, affecting individual rights and obligations; to satisfy the second, it must have been promulgated pursuant to a specific statutory grant of authority and in conformance with the procedural requirements imposed by Congress.

Clearly, this internal procedure for alerting Customs officers to possible infringements of 19 U.S.C. § 1527 was not intended as a substantive rule, and was not entitled to the force and effect of law against the government.

The U.S. Supreme Court recognized that it has: quite simply ... been unable to develop any “set formula” for determining when “justice and fairness” require that economic injuries caused by public action be compensated by the government, rather than remain disproportionately concentrated on a few persons. Penn Central, 438 U.S. at 124, 98 S.Ct. 2646. Nevertheless, our Opinions and the Opinions of the U.S. Supreme Court have set forth some guiding principles. If a regulation authorizes a physical invasion of private property, no matter how slight, the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently concluded that a taking has occurred. Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 458 U.S. 419, 422, 102 S.Ct. 3164, 73 L.Ed.2d 868 (1982) ().

It would define those rights which vest at death. The probate court would then be free to arrive at an equitable distribution of estate assets, based upon the facts of each case, the relations between the heirs, the nature of the property contained in the estate, and any other pertinent considerations. ¶44 Such powers of equitable distribution are plainly within the power of the probate court. See Com. R. Prob. P. 22 (empowering probate court to make “such orders as are necessary to close the estate”); Estate of Kumler, 699 P.2d 1388, 1391-92 ().

See Utah Code Ann. § 76-2-304.5(1), (2) (1999). 123 This statutory scheme reflects our legislature's careful consideration of the level of protection required for minors of different ages. We simply cannot say that our legislature's determination to preclude the mistake of age defense for sexual activity with a minor fourteen or fifteen is so arbitrary as to run afoul of the Constitution. Like the statute at issue in Ransom, section 76-5-401 offends no deeply-rooted and fundamental tradition of due process. Children have historically received special protection from sexual contact with adults. See Morissette v. United States, 342 U.S. 246, 251 n. 8, 72 S.Ct. 240, 244, 96 L.Ed. 288 (1952) (); see also Colin Campbell, Annotation, Mistake ### Response: recognizing that statutory rape has historically not required mens rea regarding element of vietims age " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: rezoning existed at the time of the taking than would the fact that the property was not subsequently rezoned. 9 The plurality is impressive in the breadth of the analogies that it brings to bear in its analysis, ranging from probability to the stock market to psychology. If, as I understand it to be the plurality’s point, the future is unpredictable, I am persuaded. If, on the other hand, it is the plurality’s point that when the future becomes the present it is of no relevance in assessing what the prospects yesterday were of that future, I respectfully disagree. 10 Other states have held that evidence of a posttaking rezoning is admissible to help the jury determine the “just compensation” due for the taking. Roach v Newton Redevelopment Auth, 381 Mass 135, 137; 407 NE2d 1251 (1980) (); Bembinster v Wisconsin, 57 Wis 2d 277, ### Response: holding that ajctual amendment of the zoning law subsequent to the taking may be weighty evidence of such a prospect " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the other (non-PSR) sealed documents in John Doe’s criminal case, particularly those that refer to Doe’s cooperation, should be enjoined.” Roe, 428 Fed.Appx. at 68-69. That procedure was ultimately modified when the Clerk’s Office in the Eastern District of New York inadvertently unsealed the docket sheet, revealing that Safer was “John Doe” and a cooperator. Judge Glasser then held a series of hearings, with only the Government and Sa-ter’s counsel present, and went through the entire docket to determine which documents should be unsealed. Thereafter, he issued two orders—one sealed, one unsealed—detailing which documents were to be kept sealed. Movants first object that they were not allowed to attend these proceedings, although they were parties to the case. See Aref, 533 F.3d at 81 (). This argument fails.

Ambiguous insurance contracts must be construed strictly against the insurer; ambiguities are to be resolved in favor of the insured. Id.

R.Civ.P. 17(b), however, only Joseph Francis Noone IV has the capacity to represent Spud Noone’s estate in this action. See, e.g., Nordberg v. Town of Charlton, 2012 WL 2990763, at *3 (D.Mass. July 19, 2012). But that is not an issue of subject matter jurisdiction. Third, to the extent the Town Defendants also argue that none of the claims survived the death of Spud Noone, the court rejects that assertion as well, at least as to the section 1985 claims.

Defendants respond that the statements Plaintiff identifies are non-actionable “puffery.” Defendants contend that these statements cannot serve as the basis for claims under Minnesota consumer protection statutes. Defendants, therefore, argue that Plaintiff fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Fed. R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6). The Court agrees with Defendants. Puffery includes exaggerated blustering or boasting and vague, subjective statements of superiority. Am. Italian Pasta Co. v. New World Pasta Co., 371 F.3d 387, 391 (8th Cir.2004) (); LensCrafters, Inc. v.

United States, 328 U.S. 750, 776, 66 S.Ct. 1239, 90 L.Ed. 1557 (1946)). The important criterion in a vagueness analysis of an aggravating circumstance is narrowing: “A capital sentencing scheme must, in short, provide a meaningful basis for distinguishing the few cases in which [the penalty] is imposed from the many cases in which it is not.” Godfrey v. Georgia, 446 U.S. 420, 427, 100 S.Ct. 1759, 64 L.Ed.2d 398 (1980) (quotation marks omitted; alteration in original). Our analysis is relatively simple in this case. Even though the aggravator at issue was phrased as “especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel in that it involved torture or depravity of mind,” the jury held more narrowly that “the murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel and h Cir.1994) (), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 1120, 115 S.Ct. 923, ### Response: holding that intentional torture suffices " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the Hot Springs Chancery Court specifically found as follows: “Under the terms of the [Disposition Statement], upon the dissolution of the marriage by court order, all control and direction of the tissues as of January 29, 1997, was relinquished to the [the IVF Program Director].” Any ruling in the case at bar in Dodson’s favor, i.e., that the federal constitution demands the return of the embryos to Dodson, would wholly undermine this part of the Hot Springs Chancery Court’s ruling in Dodson I. In Dodson II, the Pulaski Chancery Court determined the IVF Program Director had the right to dispose of the embryos. Even if that determination were technically obiter dictum, it was not a stray remark on an issue not presented to it. Cf. Stemler v. Florence, 350 F.3d 578, 589 (6th Cir.2003) ().

But a total exclusion of all evidence of this family bias leads me to conclude that “a reasonable jury might have received a significantly different impression” of Big Eagle’s credibility and her motivation to testify had they known her sister worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuting Dra-peau, and that her brother-in-law was one of the officers who had arrested Drapeau. Beckman, 222 F.3d at 524. If I were a juror, I would want to know about this. While I take issue with the majority’s holding that there was no Sixth Amendment violation, I agree the violation was harmless error. See Van Arsdall, 475 U.S. at 684, 106 S.Ct. 1431 ().

That is particularly so where, as here, the sentencing court simply selects the criminal history category that results from counting remote convictions as if they had occurred within the applicable time period.

Maurice, 69 F.3d 1553, 1559 (11th Cir.1995) (“[Wjhere a sentencing court selects a higher criminal history category under § 4A1.3 by adding point totals for remote convictions, we have held that an explanation of this calculation serves as an adequate explanation for the inappropriateness of the intervening criminal history categories.”) (citation omitted); United States v.

The Defendants dispute the total number of hours claimed by the Plaintiffs. Of the 3,748.5 Phelps Dunbar attorney hours for which the Plaintiffs seek an award, the court finds that 1,047.75 of the hours were expended in state court litigation in the Chancery Court of Lowndes County prior to the commencement of this litigation. Accordingly, the fees for those hours are not attorneys’ fees contemplated by § 1988, and no award shall be made for those hours. See Simi Inv. Co., Inc. v.

In such a case, a plaintiff should not expect that the charge will necessarily be cross-filed within the limitations period. 10 . We note that once events are allowed under the continuing violation theory, “the Federal Rules of Evidence and the substantive law at issue, rather than the statutory filing period, should govern the evidentiary determinations of the trial court.” West v. Philadelphia Elec. Co., 45 F.3d 744, 755 (3d Cir.1995). 11 . We note that Title VII claims may not be brought against individual employees; under Title VII, Plaintiff can only state a claim against NHS and cannot state a claim (and does not appear to attempt to) against the individual defendants.

It is true that Triestman, during oral argument before this panel, did not articulate the “negligent guard” theory for himself. But that is of no moment, as it was the obligation of the district court below to interpret Triestman’s complaint “to raise the strongest arguments that they suggest.” Pabon, 459 F.3d at 248 (citation omitted). B. Consideration of the negligent guard theory The negligent guard theory is a theory of liability under the FTCA over which the district court clearly has subject matter jurisdiction.

Plaintiff argues that the discretion given to the Attorney General to deny or grant an adjustment application made pursuant to the CAA is not given pursuant to “this subchapter” because, according to plaintiff, “this subchapter” refers only to the INA, not the CAA. While no reported decision from any court appears to have squarely addressed the issue, the Supreme Court recently noted, in resolving a different issue, that the reference in section 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii) to (“this subchapter” is to “Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, of the United States Code, codified at 8 U.S.C. §§ 1151-1381 and titled ‘Immigration.’”).

Marable, 578 F.2d at 154. We required that these factors be reviewed in tandem for a reason. A single agreement can have as its object several different actions or activities. Moreover, the object of the agreement can be achieved over a period of days, weeks, or months. And the people involved in executing the agreement can change from time to time. In none of these situations, however, can a person be punished under one drug conspiracy statute for more than just the single agreement.

Not only was there notice, but the Eighth Circuit has recently concluded that a similar statement in a PSR constituted notice that was sufficient under Rule 32(h).

Although it may be an academic exercise to permit a claim for equitable relief to proceed against a dead and buried corporation, such a result appears to be conceptually correct under controlling New York precedent. As to the unjust enrichment and contribution claims, since they did not accrue until well after GACCC was dissolved, they may not be maintained. See Quinn v.

No duty of reasonable care will be imposed, however, “if such an independent duty would potentially conflict with the duty the attorney owes to his or her client.” Lamare v. Basbanes, 418 Mass. 274, 276 (1994). In the circumstances of this case, I conclude that to hold Erskine to a duty of care to Barnard would be to create a conflict in the duty he owed to Torrey.

The District Court Did Not Plainly Err Even assuming the court erred in treating Kentucky’s second-degree assault offense as matching the generic “aggravated assault” offense, the error was not plain.

In Johnson, the Supreme Court explained that the difference in “outcome” requiring preemption of a state rule referred to a difference in “the ultimate disposition of the case” between federal and state courts. 520 U.S. at 921, 117 S.Ct. at 1806 (emphasis added). Consistent with this principle, the Supreme Court has held state rules to be preempted when such rules significantly affected state-court adjudication of the underlying rights of the federal statute, typically by defeating a plaintiffs cause of action when such defeat would not have occurred in federal court. See, e.g., Haywood v. Drown, 556 U.S. 729, 740-42, 129 S.Ct. 2108, 2117-18, 173 L.Ed.2d 920 (2009) (); Felder, 487 U.S. at 152-53, 108 S.Ct. at 2314 ### Response: holding state statute that prevented 1983 suits seeking damages relief against correctional officers to be preempted " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 1107, 1110 (11th Cir.2006).

A pro se complaint is held to a “less stringe nder § 1983, a plaintiff must show that he or she was deprived of a federal right by a person acting under color of state law.” Griffin v. City of Opa-Locka, 261 F.3d 1295, 1303 (11th Cir.2001). A habeas petition is the exclusive remedy for a prisoner who challenges the fact or duration of his confinement and seeks immediate or speedier release. Preiser v.

Cal. Gov’t Code § 845.6. The County Defendants first argue that they are immune from liability for a violation of section 845.6 by virtue of the immunity provision at Government Code sections 855.6, which, inter alia, confers immunity on public employees and entities for injury caused by “the failure to make a physical or mental examination.” But on its face, section 855.6 does not apply to Plaintiffs’ claims arising out of the failure to “summon medical care”; only to the failure to “make a physical or mental examination.” The statute is therefore inapplicable to Plaintiffs’ section 845.6 claim. See, e.g., Lum v. Cnty. of San Joaquin, 756 F.Supp.2d 1243, 1257 (E.D.Cal.2010) ().

Fuqua has not raised a single legitimate question as to the records’ trustworthiness, especially in light of the low threshold for authentication. 2. City of Baltimore Police Department Report Fuqua also objects to the admissibility of the police report, not out of any concern over authenticity, but because “statements within the report of what witnesses may have said to the officer are ‘hearsay within hearsay ” that must be excluded. Opp. 22. It is true that third-party statements in a police report, if not subject to another exception, are inadmissible hearsay. See United States v. Burruss, 418 F.2d 677, 678 (4th Cir.1969) ().

II. Smith first argues that the district court erred when it dismissed Counts I and II with prejudice. The district court grounded its dismissal of those counts primarily upon the “very serious matter” of the “violation of the statutory seal.” J.A. 488. Smith’s attorney undoubtedly violated the False Claims Act’s seal requirement by publicly discussing the complaint. Am. Civil Liberties Union v. Holder, 673 F.3d 245, 254 (4th Cir.2011) (recognizing that “the seal provisions [prevent] the relator ... from publicly discussing the filing of the qui tam complaint”); U.S. ex rel. Lujan v.

Does the fact that the right sought to be enforced has its origin in the Constitution, rather than in a statutory grant, mean that there should be no limits imposed on its enforcement, either by legislature or courts? Plaintiffs so argue. They begin by drawing a distinction between what they call “common-law takings” and “eminent-domain takings.” Common-law takings, according to plaintiffs, include takings that arise from torts (non-contract wrongs) and contract wrongs 3d 1171 (Fed.Cir.1994) (); Florida Rock Indtis., Inc. v.

Additionally, the Court concluded that ERISA carefully enumerates the parties entitled to seek relief under § 502; it does not provide anyone other than participants, beneficiaries, or fiduciaries with an express cause of action for a declaratory judgment on the issues in this case. A suit for similar relief by some other party does not “arise under” that provision. Id. at 27, 103 S.Ct. at 2855. Given such a strong statement by the Supreme Court, plaintiffs’ contention that section 502(k) is a nonexclusive grant of jurisdiction lacks merit. See Provident Life, 906 F.2d at 988 ().

The Committee intends this provision to bar all race discrimination in contractual relations. The list set forth in subsection (b) is intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive. In the context of employment discrimination, for example, this would include, but not be limited to, claims of harassment, discharge, demotion, promotion, transfer, retali 47 (N.D.Ill.1994) (); Clark v.

Further, as stressed by the Appellate Division, “total suitability” is still a legitimate goal of municipal land-use ordinances. 261 N.J.Super. at 670, 619 A.2d 676. Subdivision ordinances may be flexible enough to allow broad discretion in the protection of the public interest, even though they must be reasonably specific to provide guidance and to foster consistency and fairness in their application.

Therefore, the district court erred by considering testimony as to the weapon’s characteristics to be relevant, but the error was harmless. As noted above, Lipscomb’s single-count indictment, which the district court could consider, alleges that he possessed a sawed-off shotgun.

Therefore, we find that Richelo has failed to demonstrate at this point that Merolla’s testimony is “necessary” to his defense. While it is understandable that Richelo may want to bolster his case at trial with Merolla’s testimony, that interest does not make Merolla’s testimony “necessary” under Rule 3.7 and is outweighed by Clough’s right to be represented at trial by his chosen counsel.

The government relies on the indictment in United States v. Sanderson, 966 F.2d 184 (6th Cir.1992) as support for its contention that there is no one-year time limit. In Sanderson, the indictment covered acts from October 1985 through December 1986; however, the time issue was not raised on appeal. Thus, Sanderson is not authority that supports the government's position. See Pennhurst State School & Hosp. v.

Moreover, Dr. Lap-ing agreed that cardiologists, like Dr. Kurkjian, have more insight into the nature of Reagan’s chest pain and heart condition than he does. As for Reagan’s assertion that UNUM’s settlement offer lends credence to his claim, the Court need look no further than to Federal Rule of Evidence 408. Rule 408 provides: Evidence of (1) furnishing or offering or promising to furnish, or (2) accepting or offering or promising to accept, a valuable consideration in compromising or attempting to compromise a claim which was disputed as to either validity or amount, is not admissible to prove liability for or invalidity of the claim or its amount.

Upon review of the amended complaint, the court agrees with the defendants that Stultz has not sufficiently alleged that his DMV information was impermissibly disclosed to the Capitol Police. See 18 U.S.C. § 2721(b) (permitting “use by any government agency, including any court or law enforcement agency, in carrying out its functions”); see also Wootten, 2015 WL 1345276, at *15, 2015 U.S. Dist.

Allen argues that one of skill in the art would understand that the term “perpendicular” in the claim should be read to mean “parallel.” Allen stretches the law too far. It is not our function to rewrite claims to preserve their validity. Rhine v. Casio, Inc., 183 F.3d 1342, 1345, 51 USPQ2d 1377,1379 (Fed.Cir.1999).

Significantly, section 488 contains virtually identical language to the former article 27, section 36D of the Maryland Code, and Maryland appellate courts have held that this statute permits a search of any individual suspected of possessing a concealed gun, without also requiring reasonable suspicion that the gun is not licensed. See Allen v. State, 85 Md. App. 657, 584 A.2d 1279, 1284-85 (Md. Ct. App. 1991) (permitting search under article 27, section 36D despite officer’s lack of knowledge, and failure to ask questions calculated to determine, whether defendant was licensed to carry a gun); see also Quince v.

Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s and BIA’s decision that petitioner failed to show that the government was unable or unwilling to control the Hindu fundamentalists who stoned her home. See Singh v. INS, 134 F.3d 962, 968 (9th Cir.1998). Because the police responded to petitioner’s request for help, came to her home and asked questions regarding the incidents, and later told her that they were looking into the matter, she fails to show that the government was unable or unwilling to control her perpetrators.

Moreover, some of Petitioner’s actions on the night in question are inconsistent with the intoxication defense. To begin with, when Petitioner was attacked and stabbed after leaving the mall, he was able to recognize the gender of his two attackers, escape by running (not walking) away from them, and then locate Ms. Butler’s house on foot in the dead of night while severely injured. Surely this was no easy task, and his ability to complete it, immediately after having consumed all the alcohol that he claims to have consumed, is flatly inconsistent with his assertion that he was so extremely intoxicated that he was unable to form a specific intent. See Kreijanovsky v. State, 706 P.2d 541, 544 (Okla.Crim.App.1985) (); State v.

(c) If a court lawfully takes into account an admitted offense, prosecution is barred for that offense. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 12.45 (West 2011). Relatively few courts have interpreted Article 55.01(a) in relation to section 12.45 of the Penal Code and have reached contrary conclusions on whether the unadjudi-cated offense can be expunged.

(Def. Mot. at ¶ 14; Def. Mem. at 7). Both parties admit that the O’Maras’ insurance policy contains a valid arbitration clause; the question is whether that clause applies to .the present dispute. Based on our reading of state law and other courts’ related holdings, we find that it does. Defendant correctly points out that arbitration panels are generally given broad authority to resolve claim disputes. Brennan v. General Accident Fire & Life Assurance Corp., 524 Pa. 542, 574 A.2d 580, 583 (1990) ().

It is well established that where a tort claim stems from a breach of contract, the cause of action is ultimately one arising in contract, and thus is properly within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Federal Claims to the extent that damages exceed $10,000. See Wood v. United States, 961 F.2d 195, 198 (Fed.Cir.1992) (upholding a transfer of the plaintiffs claims from the district court to the United States Claims Court on the ground that negligence and conversion claims could not establish a cause of action in tort independent of the underlying contractual relationship); Blanchard v.

Last, plaintiff seeks default judgment because defendants have not filed an answer in the time provided under Fed.R.Civ.P. 81. The main issue is whether defendants’ procedural failures require this court to remand the case to state court or whether to allow defendants to cure these defects. 1. Failure to Attach Process Under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) (2006), there are “two types of improperly removed cases: those in which the federal court has no subject matter jurisdiction and those with defects in the removal procedure itself.” Huffman v. Saul Holdings, Ltd. P’ship, 194 F.3d 1072, 1076 (10th Cir.1999). A defect in subject matter jurisdiction is never waived and can be raised at any time. Id. (7th Cir.1967) (); Covington v. Indem. Ins.

Jenkins, 146 Md.App. at 110, 806 A.2d at 697-98. 22 . The State specifically contends, in reference to Smith and Olano, ‘‘applying this most recent precedent from the Supreme Court, no presumption of prejudice should arise automatically from improper jury contact.” 23 .

It is equally clear that the December 27, 2007 order, dismissing the remainder of the plaintiffs’ claims based on them failure comply with the court order directing them to provide a more definite statement, also functioned as a resolution on the merits, as nothing in the order indicated otherwise.

Missouri law allows a hotel to eject a person if the hotel operator “reasonably believes that the individual is using the premises for an unlawful purpose.” Mo.Rev.Stat. § 315.075(3). Mr. Bastean called the police because of concerns that the room was being used to traffic drugs. The officers’ discovery of drug paraphernalia on Inmon’s person was sufficient to justify Mr. Bastean’s concern that there were illegal drugs in the room and allow him to eject Inmon when the officers arrested him and told Mr. Bastean they were taking Inmon to jail. Under our precedent, once an individual is lawfully ejected from a hotel, the rental period terminates and “control over the hotel room revert[s] to the management.” United States v.

It is insufficient for the administrative law judge to consider “most” of the Avery factors. All six must be given consideration. See Aguiar v. Apfel, 99 F.Supp.2d 130, 137 (D.Mass.2000) (Tauro, J.)

The trial evidence was sufficient to prove each essential element of that crime. The question that remains is whether Schneider suffered prejudice from the variance in the dates charged and proved. This Court has not located a Sixth Circuit case in which the government offered no evidence of criminal conduct within the date range of a conspiracy charged by the grand jury. United States v. Rashid, 274 F.3d 407 (6th Cir.2001), comes close. There, the court held that evidence of criminal activity outside the date range in the indictment did not constitute a “fatal variance,” but there was other evidence of criminal conduct within the date range as well.

In contrast to Perone, the developer in this case never used its property in the manner authorized by the site plan approvals and variances required for construction of a larger apartment building, because plaintiff successfully challenged the validity of the resolutions granting those approvals. Thus, even assuming a property owner could be found to have abandoned a site plan approval and associated variances if it actually developed the property in accordance with subsequent land use approvals, that is not what occurred in this case. Therefore, there is no basis for finding that the developer abandoned the 2004 land use approvals. See Dimitrov v.

Although it is extremely difficult to understand precisely to what claim this letter refers (because it was sent after the non-service-connected pension had been awarded), there is no indication that it was referring to the appellant’s DIC claim. Even if it were, the confusion between service connected and non-service connected described at the outset of this footnote would render the information in the letter sufficiently confusing so as to vitiate any possible compliance with section 5103(a).

Furthermore, he asserts that document review voluntarily permitted by Cargill was so restrictive — particularly in Cargill’s refusal to allow him the assistance of an expert to review the mountain of undifferentiated documents provided and other assertions of privilege — that his case was prejudiced. This appears to the court to be a challenge founded to some extent on 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(3), which concerns the arbitrators’ misconduct or refusal to hear material evidence, and to some extent upon an assertion of “fundamental unfairness” of proceedings.

Further, there was no testimony that Appellant knew what the state offense was or whether it was a felony.

Next, we turn to the federal offense for, which the marshals were arresting Degrate on the day in question. De-grate was charged with felon in possession of a firearm, which is a felony, and therefore, if the State proved that Appellant knew of the charge, her felony conviction is valid.

Even if a patient shows up with a driver at the time of the appointment, how is the Center to know that the driver will still be there after the procedure is completed and the patient is ready to be released? The only way to assure that no patient drives would be for the Center to acquire cars and hire drivers to take patients home. That would hardly be reasonable. The Center is not an insurer of its patients’ safety. Dollins, supra. Young acted recklessly in ignoring the advice he was given and suffered the consequences.

He argues that the district court based this increase on information that did not have sufficient indicia of reliability to support its probable accuracy because the presentence investigation report contained contradictory information. Even assuming arguendo that the district court erred in applying the four-level increase under § 2K2.1, the er ror was harmless, as the increase had no effect on Crews’s ultimate offense level, which was determined by the application of the ACCA.

In Goos-by, the Supreme Court reversed the determination by the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit that a suit by Pennsylvania pretrial detainees challenging the denial of their right to vote was barred by an earlier Illinois case that denied only the right to vote absentee while detained. While the earlier decision may have placed the likelihood of success in doubt, it did not address situations in which the right to vote had been denied altogether. As a result, the earlier decision could not be said to have “foreclose[d] the subject,” and the case was remanded for consideration on the merits. Id. at 518, 522, 93 S.Ct. 854.

It is debatable whether these three statements, viewed in isolation, imply an inability to pay, as opposed to a mere unwillingness to pay. When considered in light of the record as a whole, however, it is absolutely clear that the statements do not provide a sufficient basis for the Board’s decision. The Board purports to consider the letter “in context.” Order, 335 N.L.R.B. at 325, 326. Indeed, its own precedents require that it do so.

That the Department leaves open the number of procedures that an incumbent licensee may perform does not mean it delegates regulatory power to licensees. The restraint of trade is the licensing requirement — a barrier to entry — and it is complete upon enactment. The state imposes the licensing requirements. The state decides what the licensing requirements will be and whether they are met. The state does not delegate any aspect of need calculation to private parties. Admittedly, the state takes notice of whether incumbent providers are meeting the needs of the planning area, but that responsiveness to private activity does not amount to a hybrid restraint.

Based on the representation of the movant’s attorney subsequent to that order, the debtor has obtained satisfactory insurance. 2 . If section 109(g)(2) applied to this matter, there would be an issue of how to apply that section. The court in Chrysler Financial Corp. v. Dickerson (In re Dickerson), 209 B.R. 703, 705-706 (W.D.Tenn.) explains: Although seemingly unambiguous on its face, there are at least three distinct lines of cases interpreting this statute. One line of cases holds th holding that § 109(g)(2) ""applies only if there is a contested matter pending at the time of the voluntary dismissal”); In re Patton, 49 B.R. 587 (Bankr.M.D.Ga.1985) ().

This requires showing, inter alia, that the new Supreme Court rule upon which Griffin relies — i.e., the rule announced in Al-leyne — applies retroactively on collateral review. See Bryant, 738 F.3d at 1274; Williams, 713 F.3d at 1343; Wofford, 177 F.3d at 1244. Here, Griffin’s sentence is 360 months, which is 240 months above the statutory minimum penalty of 120 months’ imprisonment. Thus, Griffin is not serving a statutory mandatory minimum sentence, and Alleyne does not apply to his case. In any event, AUeyne does not apply retroactively on collateral review. See Dohrmann v. United States, 442 F.3d 1279, 1281-82 (11th Cir.2006) (); see also McCoy v.

Plaintiffs also argue the trial court erred when it failed to address the sole issue the Board had raised in its motions to dismiss. The Board, in its motions, had alleged the circuit court was without subject matter jurisdiction to hear the Plaintiffs’ case because Plaintiffs were subject to the requirements of Miss.Code Ann. Section 11-51-75 and had failed to object to the rehiring of Jones within ten days of the Board’s October 12, 2004 decision. See Newell v. Jones County, 731 So.2d 580 (Miss.1999) (). ¶ 11.

INS, 795 F.2d 738, 744 n. 3 (9th Cir.1986). In Williams, 795 F.2d at 744, the Ninth Circuit made clear that the Supreme Court’s expansion of “custody” in the criminal context applies to habeas petitions in the immigration context. In the present case, neither party seems to contend this point. What is in contention is whether Petitioner — who is subject to removal orders and the government’s Intensive Supervised Appearance Program (‘ISAP’) — h Cir. Aug. 11, 2000) () Aguilera v.

Considering the numerous other grounds upon which to attack her credibility, counsel did not “believe that this was that strong of a defensive point.” As “the sole fact-finder and judge” of the credibility and weight of each piece of evidence, whether presented “during live testimony” or “in affidavits,” the trial court is “within its right to disbelieve” any of the “assertions upon which [the] appellant’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel are based,” so long as the basis for that disbelief is supported by at least one “reasonable view of the record.” Riley v.

As a result, when the NYCHA terminated their Section 8 benefits and they were no longer able to pay their rent, the private landlords commenced eviction proceedings against the plaintiffs. The court held that the “in aid of jurisdiction” to the Anti-Injunction Act applied, reasoning that: Unless eviction proceedings are stayed long enough to adjudicate plaintiffs’ alleged right to retroactive reinstatement in the Section 8 program, plaintiffs will be evicted before this case can be decided. In this event, the Court will be unable to accord meaningful relief to the parties.

Sekhar, 683 F.3d 436, 440-41 (2d Cir.2012). Petitioner’s allegation that counsel failed to use the absence of mens rea as a defense does not prove ineffective assistance of counsel. 5. Misinterpretation of Laws Feldman further contends counsel was ineffective because he misunderstood the doctrines of specialty and dual criminality, which impacted the outcome of the case. The doctrine of specialty is a principal of international law requiring that a defendant be tried only for those crimes for which he is extradited. United States v. Yousef, 327 F.3d 56, 115 (2d Cir.2003). This doctrine limits a court’s personal jurisdiction over a defendant, and is thus forfeited if not timely raised. Id. (citing Ford v. United States, 273 U.S. 593, 606, 47 S.Ct. 531, 535, 71 L.Ed. 793 (1927) ()).

Again, this Court recognizes that its responsibility is to anticipate how the SJC would decide the issue and that a lower court decision on the matter is not dispositive. In re Miller, 113 B.R. 98, 101 (Bankr.D.Mass.1990). However, this Court finds the Atlantic Savings decision well reasoned and substantiated by the statutory provisions underlying standard mortgage covenants: [I]n a conveyance of real estate the words “mortgage covenants” shall h 187 N.E. 118, 119 (1933) ().

Gen. Stat. § 1111(a)(2). II. Analysis It is clear that, when there are procedures set forth in Chapter 7B governing termination of parental rights proceedings, those procedures must control over those set forth in the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure.

There is no dispute that counsel filed the notice and claim of charging lien before the original final judgment was entered. Thus, counsel perfected his charging lien by providing timely notice. See Daniel Mones, P.A. v. Smith, 486 So.2d 559, 561 (Fla.1986) (“In order to give timely notice of a charging lien an attorney should either file a notice of lien or otherwise pursue the lien in the original action.”); see also Sinclair, Louis, Siegel, Heath, Nussbaum & Zavertnik, P.A. v. Baucom, 428 So.2d 1383, 1385 (Fla.1983) (“[T]here are no requirements for perfecting a charging lien beyond timely notice.”); Brown v. Vt. Mut. Ins. Co., 614 So.2d 574, 580 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993) ().

Given the importance of this hearing, complexity of the issues, and the number of parties involved in the two cases, the number of counsel present does not seem unreasonable. In any event, the district court was there and in a far better spot to assess whether the number of counsel was necessary. The district court’s ruling that Plaintiffs’ requested fees for travel to and from the court for various oral arguments was therefore proper. See, e.g., Wayne v. Vill. of Sebring, 36 F.3d 517, 532 (6th Cir. 1994) (); Perotti, 935 F.2d at 764 (noting that ### Response: holding that travel time is fully compensable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: an estate is created upon the commencement of a case and that such estate is comprised of “all legal or equitable interests of the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case.” 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1). The scope of this paragraph is broadly interpreted because “Congress intended a broad range of property ... to be included in the estate.” United States v. Whiting Pools, 462 U.S. 198, 204, 103 S.Ct. 2309, 76 L.Ed.2d 515 (1983). Section 541(b), which provides an extensive list of property specifically not included in the estate, quite clearly does not include an exception for a debtor’s interest in a rent-stabilized lease. 11 U.S.C. § 541(b). Accordingly the Debtor’s legal interest in the Lease is property of the estate. See In re Stein, 281 B.R. 845, 849 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2002) ().

Importantly, summary judgment is not appropriate where “questions regarding an employer’s motive predominate in the inquiry regarding how important a role the protected speech played in the adverse employment decision.” Morris, 196 F.3d at 110 (citation omitted). Here, Sebast has sufficiently established a claim for unconstitutional retaliation to survive summary judgment. While all inferences drawn from the current record would lead the court to find that Sebast engaged in protected speech by complaining to Sheriff Campbell about Undersheriff Mahan’s potential misconduct, see, e.g., Fikes v. City of Daphne, 79 F.3d 1079, 1084 (11th Cir.1996) (), the court is presently unable to conclude as ### Response: holding that an officers report of misconduct by fellow officer is a matter of public concern " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: services.”).

As such, [QIC] is entitled to payment from [Humana] pursuant to the Plan....” In essence, QIC’s AWP claims are for benefits under the Plan and, thus, are completely preempted and subject to removal, regardless of any difference in their elements, see Davila, 542 U.S. at 216, 124 S.Ct. 2488, or how artful QIC is in its pleadings, see McGowin v.

Dr. Karl Williams, the Commonwealth’s relation-back expert, based his calculations on the 0.106% BAC result taken at 5:50 a.m. (N.T. Trial, February 11, 2002, at 491-492). Dr. Williams determined to a reasonable degree of medical certainty that Appellant’s BAC at 2:11 a.m., the time of the accident, would have been 0.130%. Id. at 493. Thus, Appellant’s BAC had been over the legal limit of .10% at the time of the accident. While Appellant’s expert, Dr. Frederick Fochtman, attempted to east doubt on the findings and methods used by Dr. Williams, the jury resolved this conflicting testimony in favor of Dr. Williams. Therefore, Appellant’s argument that the relation back evidence was unreliable is without merit. See Commonwealth v. Gillen, 798 A.2d 225 (Pa.Super.2002) ().

That the parties chose to articulate the sole item of overhead and profit points toward the conclusion that “[plaintiffs’] cost,” as used in this contract, does not include other items of overhead and profit. With that in mind, we consider the evidence in the record of the underlying circumstances. Defendant points to the parties’ past dealings, prior drafts of the agreement, and a statement that he purportedly made to plaintiffs before the parties signed their contract as the circumstances underlying the formation of the contract. We begin with the evidence of the parties’ prior dealings. Evidence of a prior course of dealing is evidence of the circumstances underlying a contract. See Stanfield v.

While the letter does make reference to RTC’s security interest, RTC fails to make a clear demand against the estate and to show that RTC intended to hold the estate liable. Thompson, 227 F. at 983 (emphasis added). In fact, the very purpose of the letters was to assert that the debtor had no interest in the property in question and therefore the property was not property of the estate. RTC may have intended to pursue an action against the property only outside the bankruptcy case. Indeed, this could even be the reason that RTC never filed a proof of claim.

A “district court may not use the civil contempt power to impose what amounts to a punitive or criminal contempt sanction.” United States v.

With respect to the amount of loss, exclusion of the $13,500 would not change the sentencing calculation, so we need not decide whether the court erred. With respect to restitution, Defendant failed to raise this issue below and therefore failed to develop a factual record that would permit meaningful review; accordingly, we decline to reach the merits of the claim. See United States v. Hemandez-Ramirez, 254 F.3d 841, 845 (9th Cir.2001) (); United States v.

Such state law claim must be dismissed because, under California law, reports to police of suspected criminal activities— even false reports made with malice — are absolutely privileged and may not serve as predicates for tort claims, except the tort of malicious prosecution.

As part of the duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition, a property owner also has a duty to maintain the property to prevent foreseeable risks that exist on adjacent property. This is true because the “duty element of a negligence action focuses on whether the defendant’s conduct foreseeably created a broader ‘zone of risk’ that poses a general threat of harm to others.” Almarante v. Art Inst. of Fort Lauderdale, Inc., 921 So.2d 703, 705 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006) (quoting Goldberg v. Fla. Power & Light Co., 899 So.2d 1105, 1110 (Fla.2005)).

An analysis under the Tay-lorfWhite test is simple: both men clearly suffer from “physical symptoms” and “functional impairments.” They have been forced into retirement, cannot walk short distances without becoming short of breath, nor can they enjoy fishing. Likewise, under McCauley, each man suffers from shortness of breath, has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related condition, and their shortness of breath, at least in part, has been causally linked to asbestos exposure.

Otherwise, whether a contract existed at all is a question of fact to be determined by a jury. Terry Hunt Constr. Co. v. AON Risk Servs., Inc., 272 Ga.App. 547, 551, 613 S.E.2d 165, 168-69 (2005).

It is plausible that the specific incidents whereby Kielczynski received discipline, including her failure to properly search a prisoner and failing to respond to calls are so patently different from the actions of other male patrol officers that she would warrant a stricter type of discipline. However, at the same time, a legitimate inference of pretext is raised when, as Kielc-zynski’s evidence infers, similarly situated employees receive different disciplinary actions for what appears, in most instances, to be similar types of Department violations. See Hiatt v. Rockwell Int’l Corp., 26 F.3d 761, 770 (7th Cir.1994) () In short, this court finds that when viewing ### Response: holding that one means of demonstrating pretext is to put forth evidence that employees outside the protected class who were involved in misconduct or comparable seriousness were not subject to similar adverse employment action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: so that they could leave the scene undetected. The officer left the room, and the two were arrested. Clearly at the time of the arrest, the defendant and her companion had the right to possession and control of the cocaine and had physically exercised that right. Defendant cites to Garces v. State, 485 So.2d 847 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986), as supporting her claim that she was not “knowingly in actual or constructive possession” of the drugs at issue. Garces held that the temporary control of contraband in the presence of its actual owner, for the purpose of verifying that it was what it purported to be, did not constitute “legal possession.” However the 1992 amendment to section 893.02(16), Florida negates the possibility of such a claim.

Again, we cannot say that the trial court erred in concluding that Howard failed to prove that the given reasons for striking these jurors were pretextual. Finally, Howard argues that the prosecutor’s comprehensive questioning of Gladys McElrath and his mischaracterization of Jeffrey Dunbar’s testimony demonstrate his discriminatory intent. We disagree. McEl-rath’s statements that she did not believe in capital punishment and “would go for life” legitimately prompted extensive questioning by the prosecutor, and the prosecutor’s observation that Dunbar had twice stated he could not vote for the death penalty was accurate. Moreover, Dunbar’s unique status as a recent high school graduate was a race-neutral reason for striking him. See Jackson, 983 F.2d at 762 ().

Thus the Court has invalidated restrictions on speech in eases where the differential treatment of speakers by a partial regulation remained unjustified in terms related to the asserted interest, or where the regulation did not substantially accomplish the asserted goal.

PSR ¶ 45 (emphasis added). As McCoy correctly notes, however, supervision of an unwitting individual cannot justify an enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1(c). The guideline commentary requires supervision of one or more “participants,” and a “participant” is defined as a person who, although not necessarily convicted, “is criminally responsible for the commission of the offense.” U.S.S.G. § 3B1.1, comment., n.1. Because an individual cannot be criminally responsible for making a false statement unless she is witting, see 18 U.S.C. § 1014 (requiring that false statement be made “knowingly”), the fact that McCoy’s employees were unwitting would appear to render this enhancement inapplicable.

By these actions, the government has effectively conceded that the indictment is not im-permissibly duplicitous, ie., that the defendant will not be prejudiced by the harms caused by duplicity, including the harm arising from a jury verdict that does not definitively communicate the jury’s findings with respect to the two crimes charged in Count II. For double jeopardy purposes, therefore, defendant is not prejudiced by the duplicitous indictment because the government is estopped from acting on any interpretation of the jury’s verdict that would prejudice defendant’s double jeopardy rights.

Inconsistencies and material omissions in Javed’s testimony, non-responsive answers, and a lack of corroboration undermined his credibility.

INS, 332 F.3d 1245, 1254-55 (9th Cir.2003). Although the IJ denied Javed’s asylum and withholding claims on the basis of his adverse credibility ruling, he failed to explain his reasons for rejecting Javed’s CAT claim. Because claims for asylum and withholding of removal are analytically separate from claims for relief under the CAT, the IJ was obligated to consider separately the merits of Javed’s CAT claim.

This GTECH report bolsters, to some extent, the report of Global’s economic expert, who also concluded that GTECH owes Global under the Deferred Payment Component.

Our recent decision in United States v. Bah, 574 F.3d 106, is not to the contrary. Unlike the defendant in Bah — who argued that he received money in New York, transported it to New Jersey, and then transmitted money from New Jersey where he was licensed to operate a money transmitting business — Mazza-Alaluf carried cash into the United States from Chile, which cash was eventually deposited in Turismo’s United States bank accounts for transmission in New York and the other states at issue.

A major distinction between the “usual negligence case” and a case of professional negligence is that in the latter, the standard of care ordinarily must be established by expert testimony. Id. at 134-35, 167 A.2d 625. Regarding the risk of undue entanglement in ecclesiastical affairs arising out of a case of clergy malpractice, we share the concerns of those courts that have addressed the issue. We are, however, persuaded that those concerns are overstated in circumstances, such as the present case, involving a cleric’s sexual misconduct. Cf. Welter v.

An employer’s statement violates Section 8(a)(1) if, “considering the totality of the circumstances, the statement has a reasonable tendency to coerce or to interfere with those rights.” Tasty Baking Co. v.

However, Appellants fail to cite a single case in which a court has held that FIFRA’s preemptive effect is limited to cases involving product safety. “Failure to cite relevant authority where available, or to set forth why such authority is not available, constitutes an abandonment of the point under Rule 84.04(d).” Williams v. Belgrade State Bank, 953 S.W.2d 187, 190 (Mo.App.1997). Furthermore, Respondents cite cases from other jurisdictions in which courts have held that FIFRA preempts label-based claims of product ineffectiveness much like the one now before us.

The City established and sponsored a health care benefit for its employees. The City contracted with private providers of health care coverage, including Principal, and offered various plans to its employees. Because the City paid the insurance premiums under the health care plan selected by the employees, the plan is deemed to be established and maintained by the City. See Silvera v. Mutual Life Ins.

[26 C.F.R. sec. 301.7701-l(a)(3), Proced. & Admin. Regs.] This regulation mentions the twofold basis for Uniband’s argument — “integral part” and section 17 of the IRA. 3. Uniband is not an “integral part” of TMBCI. Uniband argues that it is an “integral part” of TMBCI and should therefore share in TMBCI’s exemption from Federal income tax, notwithstanding its ostensibly distinct corporate status. We note that the regulation quoted above states an exception for “an integral part of the State” (emphasis added); but an Indian tribe is not a State.

This contention is simply untrue. Roemer was represented by capable counsel. This court has repeatedly held that notice to the counsel of record constitutes notice to the party represented by such counsel. Emry, supra. Regardless of whether represented by counsel, the plaintiff — not the court, not opposing counsel — bears responsibility to prosecute the case with reasonable diligence. See Schaeffer, supra. A litigant has a duty to follow the progress of the case, rather than to merely assume that counsel is doing everything necessary and proper. City National Bank v. Langley, 161 Ill.

This is because an officer in a patrol car has a lower risk for injury in a high-speed pursuit than an officer on a motorcycle. When the pursuit began, traffic was “light to moderate.” The weather was clear, and the pursuit quickly lead onto a highway frontage road. I would hold that, at the start of Deputy Johnson’s pursuit, the need to join the pursuit outweighed the risk to public safety. See Wadewitz, 951 S.W.2d at 467. Once Deputy Johnson joined the pursuit, however, he had no idea why he was pursuing the fleeing vehicle other than the fact that the vehicle had been fleeing another officer.

Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding Downing’s memorandum.

Fraud Downing alleged in support of her fraud claim that LTF “purposefully provided inaccurate results and advice” with respect to the fitness assessments. Like her breach-of-contract claim, Downing’s fraud claim fails because she provides no admissible evidence that LTF’s results and advice were false. See Zaremba Equip., Inc. v. Horco Nat’l Ins.

Cmty. Health Servs., 467 U.S. 51, 61, 104 S.Ct. 2218, 81 L.Ed.2d 42 (1984)). While we acknowledge that the treble damage provision of the civil FCA produces a harsher result than mere recovery of the expended funds, we note that these damages and other remedies are authorized by Congress. In addition, the fact that the unavailability of estoppel permits the government to recover treble damages does not justify departure from the longstanding and widely-accepted principle disfavoring government estoppel.

A defendant’s substantial rights are not affected if “the court would have imposed the same sentence in the absence of the constitutional error.” United States v. Shatley, 448 F.3d 264, 267 (4th Cir.2006). Here, even if the district court had been sympathetic to Williams’s argument that the crack/powder disparity is unfair, it would have had no choice but to sentence Williams to life imprisonment, the statutory minimum sentence for Count One. Any Kimbrough error, then, was harmless, as Williams “would have [received] the same sentence in the absence of the constitutional error.” Shatley, 448 F.3d at 267. See also United States v.

Like ReadyLink, this case does not involve- a parallel criminal proceeding and there is no state order or judgment to be enforced. While a proceeding before the ODC has the potential to be “akin to criminal proceedings,” id. ODC’s investigation into this case has not progressed beyond the investigation stage. Other courts have determined that investigation proceedings, without more, do not trigger Younger. Compare Mulholland v. Marion Cnty.

Although it is apparent that c. 93A does not expressly expose the commission to suit, we need not rely on that ground since we conclude that the commission is not a “person” engaged in “trade or commerce.” “[I]t is a widely accepted rule of statutory construction that general words in a statute such as ‘persons’ will not ordinarily be construed to include the State or political subdivisions thereof.” Hansen v.

The second requirement, that there be a substantial similarity between the proteetible elements of the two works, is more troublesome. In considering substantial similarity between two items, a court must ask whether “an average lay observer would ... recognize the alleged copy as having been appropriated from the copyrighted work.” Folio Impressions, Inc. v. Byer Cal., 937 F.2d 759, 766 (2d Cir.1991). Because the street locations, landmass, bodies of water and landmarks depicted in a map are physical facts, the only material in a map capable of copyright protection — and thus demanding comparison — is original material.

These facts prove that the appellant retained an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy in the bag. Once a defendant establishes that he had a reasonable expectation of privacy in an item and that the police searched it without a warrant, the burden shifts to the Commonwealth to prove that an exception to the warrant requirement rendered a search of the item reasonable. See, e.g., Megel v. Commonwealth, 262 Va. 531, 534, 551 S.E.2d 638, 640 (2001). The Commonwealth contends here that the appellant’s girlfriend had authority to consent to a search of the appellant’s bag and in fact did so.

While Mendez creates a daunting task for plaintiffs to tackle in nominal damages cases where a large punitive damage amount is awarded, it does not impose a limit that is an across-the-board proxy for an individualized assessment of the BMW factors. First, Mendez is not a discrimination case, but a civil rights case. Sécond, it is not a case subject to a statutory cap on punitive damages, in which the cap itself may inform the excessiveness analysis. Rather, I read the appellate court’s affirmance of the district court’s remittitur of the punitive damages award to a 2,500:1 ratio in Mendez to mean nothing more than that a 2,500:1 ratio was not excessive in that case.

When a contract was cancelled, it did not merely change hands; it ceased to exist altogether.” 994 F.2d at 857. Notwithstanding the D.C. Circuit’s earlier holding in Stoller, the Tax Court majority in this case found that, since the economic result is the same whether a forward contract is closed by offset or cancellation, the character of the gain or loss to be recognized should be the same.

In light of this procedural history (i.e., the filing of state charges before any proceedings of substance on the merits of Hill’s § 2241 petition had taken place in federal court), a magistrate judge issued an exhaustive and well-stated Report and Recommendation recommending the district court abstain from hearing Hill’s § 2241 petition pursuant to Younger v.

Similarly, IBT has no rights or duties under the agreement, and thus Granite Rock’s tor-tious interference claim against IBT does not meet the requirements of section 301(a).

See Rather, 973 P.2d at 1267. 7 . We give Fields’s pro se petition the benefit of the doubt by reading it broadly to include an allegation that a recalculation of his parole eligibility date may determine his assignments to work and educational opportunities within the DOC at the present time. Even so, such an allegation does not constitute an immediate practical effect on the restraint of Fields or on any of his fundamental rights. 8 . Fields cites federal authority indicating that the federal writ of habeas corpus is broad enough to entitle him to a hearing on his claims at this time (or at least after he has exhausted his state remedies).

I respectfully dissent from the majority's conclusion that the trial court lacked the ability to suspend Gardiner's sentence below the minimum sentence. I do not find the Model Penal Code or Hutcherson v. State, 441 N.E.2d 962 (Ind.1982), cited by the majority, to be determinative or persuasive here. In fact, Indiana courts have allowed similar relief under the habitual offender statutes. See, eg., Coble v. State, 500 N.E.2d 1221, 1223 (Ind.1986) (); Olinger v. State, 494 N.E.2d 310, 311 ### Response: holding that a defendant sentenced as an habitual offender who later successfully challenges one of his predicate offenses may have his habitual offender status and sentencing enhancement vacated through postconviction relief or a motion to correct erroneous sentence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: file referring to Smith as a “sub.,” and (3) the anonymous handwritten note, discussing Smith’s statement and changing the description of Davis’ motorcycle helmet from “blue” to “gold.” In general terms, the issue is whether the state court’s determination that the failure of the State to disclose the foregoing evidence did not constitute a Brady violation contravenes the standards set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1) and (d)(2). a.) The Brady Cumulative Materiality Analysis The court first addresses Davis’ contention that the state court’s determination was an unreasonable application of Supreme Court law because the state court failed to engage in a collective materiality inquiry in determining whether a Brady violation had occurred. See Kyles, supra, 514 U.S. at 436, 115 S.Ct. 1555 ().

For example, in Beattie, a firefighter with the Boeing Military Airplane Company brought suit for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief against the United States, alleging that the Air Force’s denial of his access to certain sensitive areas violated his constitutional rights. Before the case even came before the district court on summary judgment, the plaintiff voluntarily quit his job.

GTR was right the first time, and it should be cautious about taking such contradictory positions in the same action. As admitted by the Defendants, any rights arising from a violation of the automatic stay are substantive rights created by the Bankruptcy Code and are thus quintessentially core matters. Banks v. Kam’s Auto Sales (In re Banks), 521 B.R. 417, 420 (Bankr.M.D.Ga.2014); see also, e.g., MBNA Am. Bank v. Hill, 436 F.3d 104 (2nd Cir.2006) (); Fortune & Faal v.

He does not plead when he asked Green Tree to cease calling him, nor how he asked. The factual allegations in the complaint represent nothing more than “a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action,” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, and such “[tjhreadbare recitals ... supported by mere conclusory statements do not suffice,” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937. Hanley merely states what he understands the TCPA to proscribe, and then goes on to plead threadbare and conclusory facts that allege the elements of a prima facie cause of action under the Act, but nothing more. Hanley’s complaint, therefore, is highly suspect because it merely recites naked facts mimicking the elements of a cause of action under the TCPA. See McCauley, 671 F.3d at 617 ().

Loew, 593 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir.2010) (internal quotation marks omitted). First, the district court did not err in applying a four-level enhancement pursuant to § 2A2.2(b)(2)(B) of the Guidelines. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2A2.2(b)(2)(B) (2009). The district court properly determined that there was intent to cause bodily injury. See United States v.

In contrast, the Code provides that the term “statutory lien” means a “lien arising solely by force of a statute on specified circumstances or conditions ... but does not include security interest or judicial hen.” 11 U.S.C. § 101(53) (emphases added). Because plaintiffs’ tax liens arose under state statute, and not from a consensual or voluntary agreement with the taxpayer defendants, we concur in the bankruptcy court’s ruling that those liens are not “security interests” for purposes of § 1322(b)(2). The foregoing interpretation of § 1322(b)(2) is supported by substantial authority from other jurisdictions. See, e.g., In re DeMaggio, 175 B.R. 144, 146-47 (Bankr. D.N.H.1994) (); In re Sabec, 137 B.R. 659, 667-68 (Bankr. ### Response: holding that plain language and statutory history of 1322b2 establish that nonconsensual tax hens do not fall within antimodification provision of that statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in contempt charges began during opening statement and later related primarily to the format of the questions he asked during trial. In the trial setting, although counsel and the judge have great responsibilities, the judge had the greater duty to restrain her anger. It was her responsibility to maintain control over the proceedings. Her failure to maintain control in an appropriate manner prejudiced petitioner and his case. A review of cases in other jurisdictions that have addressed the arrest or citation of a criminal defense attorney before the jury supports our view that petitioner’s conviction must be reversed. In Ash v.

We express no opinion on whether the legislature's hypothetical divestiture of a joint tenant's proportional interest would be an unconstitutional forfeiture. Compare In re Estate of Shields, 1 Kan.App.2d 688, 574 P.2d 229, 233 (1977) (indicating murderer's loss of undivided interest would constitute an unconstitutional forfeiture), with In re Estate of Fiore, 16 Ohio App.3d 473, 476 N.E.2d 1093, 1097 (1984) ### Response: holding statute requiring that murderer be deemed to have predeceased victim thereby entitling victim to all joint tenancy property was not an unconstitutional forfeiture " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the weedeater is described as being “industrial.” As “machines for domestic use,” the mowers and weedeater are appliances, and thus “household goods” under § 522(f)(4)(A).

Once a case settles, and the prior attorney is notified of the settlement, the attorney’s failure to institute an action in a timely fashion can result in dismissal of the lien. See id. Because this case had not settled, the JCC erred in dismissing the lien. Although the JCC endeavored to distinguish Gillislee, the result of the order eludes the teaching of that case — a JCC does not have the authority to require a claimant’s attorney to file a verified petition.

We recognize that, in making its decision interpreting the Program Access Rules, the FCC was not engaged in an antitrust analysis of Com-cast's decision not to license CSN Philadelphia to the DBS providers and that its regulatory approval does not displace the antitrust laws.

A “bruised ego” or a “mere inconvenience or an alteration of job responsibilities” is not sufficient to constitute an adverse employment action. Id. at 797. Adverse employment actions are typically marked by a “significant change in employment status,” including “hiring, firing, failing to promote, reassignment with significantly different responsibilities, or a decision causing a significant change in benefits.” Id. at 798 (quoting Burlington Indus. v. Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742, 761, 118 S.Ct. 2257, 141 L.Ed.2d 633 (1998)). Reassignments and position transfers can qualify as adverse employment actions, particularly where they are accompanied by “salary or work hour changes.” See Kocsis v.

As we overruled appellants’ first assignment of error, finding that the lower court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellants additional time to gather rebuttal evidence, the lower court’s finding of summary judgment in favor of appellees stands. Thus, appellants’ second assignment of error is rendered moot: it is of no consequence to appellants whether we find the trial court to have erred in denying appellants’ request for a continuance of the trial. See James A. Keller, Inc. v. Flaherty (1991), 74 Ohio App.3d 788, 791, 600 N.E.2d 736, 738 ().

Sessions implicitly acknowledges that these three issues indeed were known and not raised during his direct appeal. However, Sessions attempts to invoke the “interests of justice” exception. He argues that his failure to raise these issues was not “deliberate and inexcusable” and that but for his attorney’s advice, he would have raised those issues in his direct appeal. None of Sessions’ three claims about his trial fit into the “interests of justice” exception to Knaffla. Sessions’ claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel is not the type granted under the “interests of justice” exception. See Ives, 655 N.W.2d at 636 ().

Indeed, the police commonly engage in such ruses as suggesting to a suspect that a confederate has just confessed or that police have or will secure physical evidence against the suspect. While the line between ruse and coercion is sometimes blurred, confessions procured by deceits have been held voluntary in a number of situations. United States v.

Although our courts have not previously considered the enforceability of an exculpatory agreement in this or any other similar context, we do not find similarities in those situations where exculpatory agreements have been stricken because of the public interest. The experiences of our courts with exculpatory agreements have largely been on opposite ends of the spectrum.

When told he had to pay support, he merely stated, “[cjan you give me any later date than that to give me time to come up with the money?” His only concern seemed to be that King’s child may not be his child; his concern was not insufficient service of process. At no time did Blocker allege that he did not actually receive process or that service was somehow defective. Not until he was arrested did such an issue seem to come to the court’s attention. Because Blocker made a general appearance, the defense of insufficient service of process had been waived. See MacDougall v. Kutina, 798 So.2d 30 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) ().

See Lucas v. Dep’t of Corrections, 66 F.3d 245, 248 (9th Cir.1995) (per curiam). Dunlap failed to state a claim against John and Jane Doe of Pretrial Services because absolute immunity shields judges and those performing judge-like functions from liability for acts performed in their official capacity. See Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1075 (9th Cir.1986). There is no cognizable claim against Cynthia Ryan and Barbara LaWall because both are entitled to absolute prosecutorial immunity.

In this case, the BIA justified its affirmance of the IJ’s decision on the basis that Faustino lacked both an approved visa petition and an approved labor certification, thus he had not established eligibility for adjustment of status. Given Faustino’s failure to offer evidence that he was eligible for an immigrant visa or that one was immediately available to him at the time the application was filed, and that the decision to adjust the status of an alien is ultimately within the discretion of the Attorney General, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in affirming the IJ’s denial of Faustino’s continuance request.

Harvey admits that Judge Hernandez’s actions “might have been judicial in nature,” but contends that Judge Hernandez is not entitled to immunity because he “acted in complete absence of jurisdiction” when he ordered the disposal of Harvey’s property without notice and a hearing. We disagree. The Supreme Court has clearly held that as long as a judge has jurisdiction to perform the “general act” in question, he or she is immune “however erroneous the act may have been, ... however injurious in its consequences it may have proved to the plaintiff’ and irrespective of the judge’s motivation. Cleavinger v. Saxner, 474 U.S. 193, 199-200, 106 S.Ct. 496, 88 L.Ed.2d 507 (1985); see Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, 356, 98 S.Ct. 1099, 55 L.Ed.2d 331 (1978) ().

In the present case, the petition alleged that the juvenile resisted, delayed, and obstructed Officer Henderson by giving a false name at the time Officer Henderson was conducting an investigation. The trial court found that by insisting his name was “Oscar Lopez,” the juvenile delayed Officer Henderson’s investigation of the offenses of injury to real property and carrying a concealed weapon. The juvenile argues that since Officer Henderson’s stop was invalid, the juvenile was within his right to give a false name. We disagree and hold that the invalid stop did not give the juvenile license to subsequently lie about his identity to Officer Henderson. See, e.g., State v.

Absent clear and convincing evidence that Rhodes was in fact credible, we must defer to the trial court’s credibility determination. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1).

After the trial court denied his third Marsden motion, Rhodes elected to proceed pro per. We hold that Rhodes’s waiver of his right to counsel was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. See Faretta v.

To begin with, we note that Pepe-Frazier has waived any direct constitutional challenge to his sentence by failing to raise such a challenge at the first opportunity (i.e., the sentencing hearing), which is what gives rise to his current assertion that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to make such a challenge.

The Court acknowledges that this finding is in direct conflict with the case law currently surrounding this issue. See Goepel v.

Collins, 173 F.3d at 929 (“The Commonwealth ... was not named as a defendant, was not served with process, and was not compelled to appear in bankruptcy court.”). The Mitchells further argue that because they did not request affirmative monetary relief, there is no suit. While courts generally construe “action leading to an order forcing a payment to citizens [as] the quintessential ‘suit’ under the Eleventh Amendment,” In re NVR Homes, 189 F.3d at 453, this factor is not dispositive.

It is argued, however, that the police did not have reasonable suspicion that McKie himself was involved in criminal activity and that they stopped him only because he was with Clipper. See Ybarra v.

On February 7, 2003, the trial court conducted the sentencing hearing in which it ultimately denied the motion for downward departure.

The Kamans certainly did not. In fact, the undisputed evidence showed that until Prewett’s arrest in October 2006, Jackson Hewitt had no knowledge that Prewett was soliciting investments in real estate joint ventures and representing that Jackson Hewitt was involved. Jackson Hewitt did not learn about Prewett’s fraud until long after the Kamans had made their investments.

The Rules do not provide a definition of the term, “issue.” Nonetheless, it is clear that if a case is an equitable one being tried to the court and a Rule 15(b) amendment is permitted over objection, then the objecting party is entitled to demand a jury trial only if the amendment has injected a new legal issue that could not have been reasonably anticipated. 5 MooRE, supra, ¶ 38.41, at 38-394; compare Harris v.

With respect to Burstein, Mickey claims that counsel were deficient in providing a garbled tape of the Hawaii interview with police. But, Burstein notably does not claim he ever requested a better version or a transcript. Mickey also claims that counsel should have provided access to the testimony of the accomplice Rogers and Mickey’s ex-wife Rochelle for corroboration of Mickey’s history of drug use. But Mickey’s drug use was not in dispute. Conveying such additional information was therefore unnecessary. Hovey v. Ayers, 458 F.3d 892, 925-26 (9th Cir.2006) ().

[Emphasis added.] Plaintiff contends that the driveway presented an unreasonable risk of harm because it was steep and covered in snow and ice. Plaintiff also notes that eaves directed water onto the driveway. Although the slippery conditions coupled with the nature of the sloped driveway presented unsafe conditions, our Supreme Court has set an extraordinarily high bar for a condition to constitute an unreasonable risk of harm because the condition must present a “substantial risk of death or severe injury.” Id. Based on this heightened standard, courts have repeatedly held that ice and snow generally do not meet this threshold.

Given the deferential standard we apply to review of the sufficiency of evidence to support a jury’s verdict, both of West’s claims must fail. The government presented live testimony from two witnesses, Crockett and Scott, identifying West as the ringleader of the drug sale activity at 1204 North 13th Street on the basis of their personal knowledge.

Some courts have interpreted a statute declaring itself to be a non-exclusive remedy to entitle plaintiffs to recover both treble damages under the statute and punitive damages pursuant to a common law claim in a single action. See, e.g. Rhue v. Dawson, 173 Ariz. 220, 841 P.2d 215, 228 (1992) (); Toyota of Florence v.

Our circuit has taken a stricter view, however, and has held that constitutional claims based on a contractual property interest fall within the Tucker Act and may not be brought in district court.

By contrast, the authority supporting a warrantless entry under facts similar to those presented here is both scarce and dubious.

Our precedent demonstrates the continued vitality of the rule enunciated in England. See, e.g., Kovats v. Rutgers, 749 F.2d 1041 (3d Cir.1984) (finding valid England reservation); New Jersey Educ.

We therefore reject Allen’s facial challenge to the FDPA’s relaxed evidentiary standard during sentencing. See Gregg, 428 U.S. at 204, 96 S.Ct. 2909 (“We think it desirable for the jury to have as much information before it as possible when it makes the sentencing decision.”); Jones, 132 F.3d at 242 (). c.

Eight defendants were named in both Steele I and Steele III. Steele alleges that the new defendants added in Steele III are directors, managers, employees or affiliates of or acting in concert with the defendants named in Steele I.

Indeed, the protocol is an enforcement tool that aids surveyors in investigating nursing home compliance, and as recognized in American Hospital Association, “[e]nforcement plans by agencies to direct their enforcement activity warrant considerable deference.” Id. at 1050. The instant protocol is also similar to many agency guidebooks or handbooks that have been held to be exempt from notice and comment proceedings.

For this we must look further beyond the matter of reasonable response to that of motive and intent”). Plaintiffs have cited no evidence warranting the imposition of punitive damages, let alone clear and convincing evidence that Transamerica denied their claim maliciously, oppressively or fraudulently. Plaintiffs, in fact, do not cite any record evidence at all. Because the court need not “scour the record in search of a genuine issue of triable fact,” this alone warrants granting Transamerica’s motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs’ pun-tive damages prayer.

Id. at 8-15, 107 S.Ct. at 2215-19. From the fountain of Fort Halifax, and the stream of circuit court cases that have flowed from it, a relatively simple test has emerged to determine whether a plan is covered by ERISA: does the benefit package implicate an ongoing administrative scheme? See Fort Halifax, 482 U.S. at 12, 107 S.Ct. at 2218 (“The theoretical possibility of a one-time obligation in the future simply creates no need for 'an ongoing administrative program for processing claims and paying benefits.”); Kulinski v.

Second, it establishes the right if the police officer’s conduct goes “so far beyond the hazy border between excessive and acceptable force” such that “every reasonable officer would conclude that the excessive force used was plainly unlawful.” See Lewis, 561 F.3d at 1292. A review of Eleventh Circuit case law does not show a bright line barring Officer Lozano’s conduct. To the contrary, the Eleventh Circuit has offered police officers wide discretion in reacting with force when the police officer believes that a suspect resists arrest.

We readily reject Watson’s argument that the district court erred in failing to reduce his sentences based on Amendment 709, as that amendment is not among those listed in § lB1.10(c) as retroactively applicable. To the extent Watson asserts that he was entitled to a sentence reduction based on Amendment 706, his argument is foreclosed by our decision in United States v.

In Zavala, the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals held that evidence that the appellant was purchasing the vehicle and had taken possession of it, together with the condition of the vehicle at the time officers arrived on the scene, was sufficient to corroborate his statement. 89 S.W.3d at 137 & n. 5. Thus, we conclude that there is evidence outside of appellant’s extrajudicial confession showing that the crime of DWI was committed. Therefore, the corpus delicti rule was satisfied.

Culligan Int’l Co., 50 F.3d 428, 430 (7th Cir.1995). As the Supreme Court recognized in Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc., - U.S.-,-, 114 S.Ct. 367, 370, 126 L.Ed.2d 295 (1993), “Conduct that is not severe or pervasive enough to create an objectively hostile or abusive work environment — an environment that a reasonable person would find hostile or abusive — is beyond Title VII’s purview.” See also Meritor, 477 U.S. at 67, 106 S.Ct. at 2405 ().

Id. at 1317. We cannot accept Trade Well’s contention that the district court lacked personal jurisdiction over it because Trade Well is a foreign corporation that did not have counsel at the time of the default judgments. By filing the original replevin action, Trade Well submitted itself to jurisdiction in Wisconsin for purposes of the replevin action and the counterclaim. In general, when a defendant interposes a permissive counterclaim, the plaintiff cannot object that the court lacks personal jurisdiction for purposes of adjudicating the claim. See Leman v.

Therefore, the Court will move directly to analyzing MNP’s proffered reason for firing Zakaria. 2 MNP has offered a non-discriminatory reason for firing Zakaria — namely, that it was downsizing its workforce and it fired Zakaria because he had the third worst attendance record during the twelve months prior to the layoffs. (See S.J. Motion, ECF # 12 at Pg. ID 75-77.) However, on this record, there is a material factual dispute as to whether this reason was a pretext for discrimination in violation of the FMLA. As an initial matter, there is a question as to whether there was a “basis in fact” for MNP’s asserted justification for firing Zakaria. Demyanovich v. Cadon Plating & Coatings, L.L.C., 747 F.3d 419, 431 (6th Cir. 2014) ().

Fiorina, 340 F.Supp. 729 (D.N.M.1972) (per curiam) to counter the State’s argument. In Dillon, the district court struck down a New Mexico statute that prevented any person from becoming a candidate for United States Senator “unless he ha[d] been affiliated with that party for at least one year prior to the filing date for the primary election.” Id. at 730. The court determined that, because the statute in effect required residency for two years within New Mexico, it added an “impermissible requirement” to the qualifications for candidacy.

Breeden, 532 U.S. 268, 273, 121 S.Ct. 1508, 1511, 149 L.Ed.2d 509 (2001). This court has held that “in the absence of any other evidence of causation,” a three-month proximity is insufficient to establish causation. Drago v. Jenne, 453 F.3d 1301, 1308 (11th Cir.2006); see also Higdon v.

The ASAP materials in dispute (unlike the vast majority of the documents prepared by American in the wake of the crash) were prepared voluntarily, in confidence and for use in a discrete, limited context in cooperation with the FAA and the phots’ union. There is a genuine risk of a meaningful and irreparable chill from the compelled disclosure of ASAP materials in connection with the pending litigation. In making this finding, we stress that the privilege recognized here is qualified rather than absolute. Like any evidentiary privilege, an “ASAP privilege” must be harmonized with the notion that “ ‘the public ... has a right to every man’s evidence.’ ” 83 F.2d 1488, 1518-22 (11th Cir.)

Applying the above principles, the Second Circuit has repeatedly relied on the presumption of arbitrability to find that arbitration clauses, which are arguably geared toward employee grievances, also allow employer-initiated disputes to go to arbitration. See Coca-Cola, 242 F.3d at 57; see also Interstate Brands Corp. v. Bakery Drivers, 167 F.3d 764, 767-68 (2d Cir.1999) (); ITT World Communications, Inc. v. ### Response: holding employer had contractually waived its right to litigate contract claim and was bound to arbitrate " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as the basis for a motion for sanctions, attorneys’ fees, or other costs. And while the Builders’ summary-judgment motion suggests that Landrah was in contempt for failure to appear at a deposition, the motion seeks only attorneys’ fees “incurred in this matter” — not attorneys’ fees as sanctions for Landrah’s failure to appear. (Emphasis added.) Even if we were to construe the Builders’ motion as a motion for sanctions, a trial court may not award sanctions on a basis not asserted in the motion. See Greene v.

While the decisions of the other districts do not bind this Court, the Court finds the reasoning and analysis of the other courts to be persuasive on this issue.

Because, plaintiff filed his complaint on October 26, 1994, ninety-two (92) days after the delivery of the Decision to the attorney, defendant argues that the action should be time barred. The facts of the instant case, however, are distinguishable from those of Irwin. Unlike in Irwin, plaintiff and his attorney were no longer in an attorney-client relationship. Coates’ former attorney did not have the authority to accept correspondence for plaintiff nor act as his representative. Thus, delivery to Coates’ former attorney did not constitute notice to plaintiff, and the ninety day time limitation did not begin to run until Coates receive the Decision himself. See Cumbow v. Vermont American Corp., 586 F.Supp. 873 (W.D.Va.1982) ().

The' two enjoyed a friendship that extended beyond their employment until late 1995 when Stutler complained to Assistant Warden Wanda Bass that Rockett asked her to do personal favors. When Rockett learned of Stutter’s complaint, she became angry, and threw things and screamed at Stutler. The relationship further deteriorated in the spring of 1996 as memorialized in a barrage of incident reports written by Stutler. As many of the reports complained of conduct not protected by Title VII, we will discuss only the ones relevant to this appeal. See Hamner v. St. Vincent Hosp. & Health Care Ctr., Inc., 224 F.3d 701, 707 (7th Cir.2000) ().

At the Batson hearing, the prosecutor testified that he struck Wiggins and Fontenot because of their employment with the USPS. The prosecutor also stated that veniremember 31 originally indicated that she would not consider assessing a life sentence. “[W]hen the State indicates that it challenged a prospective juror based on that person’s type of employment and that the State has had poor success with that type of worker, the reason is a race-neutral explanation for exercising the peremptory challenge.” Moore, 265 S.W.3d at 84 (); see Tompkins v.

Important State Interests The third condition is satisfied because the revocation proceedings concerned important state interests—the regulation and licensure of insurance producers. These matters traditionally fall under the state’s regulatory authority. See Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 26-9-201 (prescribing “qualifications and procedures for the licensing of insurance producers”); Bell v.

Bezmen was Airborne’s regional security manager for the greater New York area only, while Gennarelli was the “cartage supervisor” for the particular Airborne office through which the controlled pickup was conducted. Other courts have held that corporate employees in similar positions are not final policymakers for § 1983 purposes. See, e.g., Austin v.

In the present case, the scrivener’s error appeared on the writ of summons. Pursuant to § 52-72, the court properly allowed the plaintiff to amend its process to reflect a correct return date.

In the next subsection, the court addresses, but rejects, Davis' contention that, notwithstanding the jurors' assertions of neutrality, the voir dire was inadequate to divulge preformed biases, particularly biases arising from the pretrial publicity. 13 . The court notes that, on. the question of whether pretrial publicity denied Davis a fair trial by a jury free from actual prejudices, the court finds that it is appropriate to consider as a mitigating factor any cautionary instructions given by the state trial court to the jury.

Therefore, although the defendant was willing to waive the right to cross-examine the State’s witness so that he could maintain his choice of counsel, the Law Division observed that the defendant’s counsel’s prior representation of the witness may have permitted him to acquire confidential information that could be used favorably by the defendant.

Thus, the appellees reason, Orleans established not only that community action agencies are not arms of the federal government, but that such agencies are never engaged in federal action for constitutional purposes. Accordingly, they conclude, the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction and its dismissal should be affirmed. III. The threshold issue is whether the district court properly dismissed the appellants’ complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Our resolution of that issue depends on the distinction between lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. This is an area of some disagreement among the circuits. For example, compare Robinson v. Bergstrom, 579 F.2d 401, 404 (7th Cir. 1978) () with Meredith v.

(Emphasis added.) There are no reported appellate decisions in Colorado construing this section. However, we agree with the trust that this section applies to its claim because fraudulent actions in the nature of constructive fraud are within the exception. See See. Nat'l Bank v.

As Tate & Lyle emphasizes, all of the one hundred and five plaintiffs at issue satisfied both these criteria; they all had both ten years of employment and an audi-ogram showing at least twenty decibels of hearing loss before their last date of employment at the Arabi refinery. In rejecting Continental’s argument that the settlement agreement required more in terms of the particular type of au-diogram, the trial court reasoned that Continental was seeking to impose its interpretation of the agreement and that “Continental’s understanding of the settlement agreement is contrary to the principle of contractual interpretation in discerning the intent of the parties.” See Duet v.

When the dispatcher reported back that Farley did, there is no indication that Cox was acting under authorization from a rightM property owner to convey a lawful order for Plaintiff to leave the premises.

U.S., 889 F.2d 371, 373 (1st Cir.1989). The Parole Commission set a “presumptive release date” for Ellis of October 21, 1989. It subsequently revoked that date, however, because Ellis did not pay the fine. Instead, Ellis asked a federal magistrate to determine that he could not pay the fine because he had no “property [other than exempt property] exceeding $20 in value,” in which case, according to statute, the government must release him. See 18 U.S.C. § 3569 (full text in Appendix). The magistrate, and subsequently the district court, denied Ellis’s request. Ellis now appeals. Ellis argues that the Constitution forbids holding a person in prison solely because he is indigent. See Bearden v. Georgia, 461 U.S. 660, 103 S.Ct. 2064, 76 L.Ed.2d 221 (1983) (); Tate v.

St. Elizabeth’s appealed to DPW’s Bureau of Hearings and Appeals, arguing DPW lacked statutory authority to promulgate regulations requiring certification of nonprofit child day care centers. St. Elizabeth’s also raised constitutional concerns regarding the regulations’ impact on religious liberty. An administrative law judge (ALJ) explained Article IX of the Public Welfare Code, 62 P.S. §§ 901-922, grants DPW supervision over “all children’s institutions within this Commonwealth,” including nonprofit child day care centers like St. Elizabeth’s. Id., § 902(3). This supervisory power has been construed broadly. See Hospital Association of Pennsylvania v. MacLeod, 487 Pa. 516, 410 A.2d 731, 734-35 (1980) ().

See § 6-3-21.1, Ala.Code 1975 (statute allowing discretionary transfer of actions from one proper forum to another “in the interest of justice”). We now turn to the substantive issues raised by the parties. Kaufmann contends that the trial court should not have dismissed its spoliation-of-evidence claim against Blue Dot and Davis. However, Kaufmann asserted that issue during the earlier litigation involving the parties, and the jury in that case was given a spoliation instruction based upon Kaufmann’s claim that Davis had destroyed evidence. Such an instruction is a remedy available when a party to pending litigation is alleged to have spoliated evidence. See Smith v. Atkinson, 771 So.2d 429, 438 (Ala.2000) (). Principally because such a remedy exists, the ### Response: holding that spoliation may be a basis for a cause of action where a third party has negligently destroyed material evidence but stating that jury charges that presume missing evidence weighs against the spoliator and discovery sanctions are available when spoliation is charged against an opposing party " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is able to impose enhancements on the basis of a defendant’s prior convictions.

However, we conclude that Battle’s argument is without merit because there were no disputed issues with respect to Battle’s prior drug offenses. Battle conceded at his change-of-plea hearing that he had been convicted of the necessary predicate offenses for the enhancement. Moreover, he did not object to the descriptions of the prior convictions in the presentence investigation report (“PSI”), and, thus, these facts should be deemed “admitted” for Booker purposes.

Given that the plaintiffs’ motion came approximately three years after the start of the litigation and approximately eight months after the plaintiffs completed discovery, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint. See Perrian v. O’Grady, 958 F.2d 192, 194 (7th Cir.1992) (). III.

Worthy, 915 F.2d 1514, 1516 (11th Cir.1990). We are persuaded by the plain language of § 3E1.1 to follow the Fifth Circuit’s decision in United States v. Valencia, 957 F.2d 153 (5th Cir.1992), and hold that § 3E1.1 does not provide for such a reduction. In Valencia, the district court expressly found that the defendant had partially accepted responsibility and, therefore, was entitled to a one-point reduction, rather than the two-point reduction provided for in § 3El.l(a). The Fifth Circuit reversed, holding that “U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1 does not contemplate either a defendant’s mere partial acceptance of responsibility or a district court’s being halfway convinced that a defendant accepted responsibility.” Id. at 156; see also United States v. Farrier, 948 F.2d 1125, 1127 (9th Cir.1991) ().

Id. at 811, 96 S.Ct. at 1974. Despite these federal controls, the Orleans Court determined that the state agency was not transformed into a federal agency and thus the employees of the agency were not employees of the federal government. Id. at 816, 96 S.Ct. at 1977. According to the Court, the determinative question was “not whether the [state agency] receives federal money and must comply with federal standards and regulations, but whether its day-to-day operations are supervised by the Federal Government.” Id. at 815, 96 S.Ct. at 1976; see also Logue v.

Feb. 26, 2010). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case. Under the circumstances of this case, we have reviewed the BIA’s decision issued following remand. See Belortaja v. Gonzales, 484 F.3d 619, 622-23 (2d Cir.2007). As an initial matter, we decline to review the Ahmeds’ challenge to the agency’s finding that they did not demonstrate the requisite good moral character to establish their eligibility for cancellation of removal, as the issue was ripe for review at the time of their initial petition for review before a previous panel of this Court, and that panel determined that they had waived the issue. See Johnson v. Holder, 564 F.3d 95, 99-100 (2d Cir.2009) (). Accordingly, the only issue before us is the ### Response: holding that where an issue was ripe for review at the time of an initial appeal but was nonetheless foregone it is considered waived and the law of the case doctrine bars an appellate court in a subsequent appeal from reopening such issues in the absence of cogent or compelling reasons " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: responded, ‘Yeah, and you’re right. You’ve reserved that issue for appeal ... if you need it, that’s right. That’s preserved.’ Id. At 1132.... I continue to believe that the record was more than sufficient to preserve the issue of the constitutionality of Mo. Stat. § 562.076 as construed by the Missouri Supreme Court. As I stated in my dissent: [A principal] reason for requiring proper preservation of issues at trial is so that the trial court is made aware of the contested issue and will have the first opportunity to correct an error. See Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 487, 106 S.Ct. 2639, 91 L.Ed.2d 397 (1986). Here, the objection was raised early in the proceedings, clearly notifying the trial court of the issue. See, e.g., State v. Barrington, 198 Mo. 23, 95 S.W. 235, 252 (1906) (); State v. Flynn, 519 S.W.2d 10, 12 (Mo.1975); ### Response: holding that issue is preserved if the objections at the trial were sufficiently specific to notify the trial court at the time of the nature and character of the objections and the reasons for them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (7th Cir.2000). In reaching this conclusion, we determined that “the disparate-impact and mandatory accommodation rules found in the ADA” far exceeded the constitutional protections provided by the Equal Protection Clause. Erickson, 207 F.3d at 951; see also Stevens, 210 F.3d at 738. Furthermore, we concluded that these provisions could not be sustained as “reasonable prophylactic legislation.” Erickson, 207 F.3d at 951-52; see also Stevens, 210 F.3d at 740-41. Underlying this holding was our understanding that Congress could not subject disability discrimination, which receives only rational basis review under the Constitution, see Cleburne v. Cleburne Living Center, 473 U.S. 432, 442-46, 105 S.Ct. 3249, 87 L.Ed.2d 313 (1985), to more searching scrutiny. See Erickson, 207 F.3d at 951 (). In light of these principles drawn from prior ### Response: holding that the ada exceeds the 5 power at least to the extent it extends beyond remedies for irrational discrimination " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Instead, the Ninth Circuit ignored that threshold issue and jumped straight to rational-basis review of a California statute that granted retired police the right to carry semi-automatic weapons despite a ban. See Silveira, 312 F.3d at 1090-91. The Ninth Circuit then established the California statute’s objectives by relying on legislative history and public statements specific to that statute, all of which indicated that the California law was intended to “eliminate the availability of the [restricted] weapons generally.” Id. at 1091. In contrast, the record here contains no evidence that the Maryland General Assembly had any similarly prohibitionist intent. Most fundamentally, Silveira appears to have been animated by a hostility toward so-called “assault weapons” in general. Id. (); cf. Nordyke v. King, 319 F.3d 1185, 1192 n. 4 ### Response: holding that there is no legitimate state interest in permitting retired police officers and apparently anyone to possess and use militarystyle weapons for their personal pleasure " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: partially on the grids. The Commissioner’s waiver argument is baseless. Lawrence may not have said anything about the use of the grids when he appealed the ALJ’s decision to the Appeals Council, but neither was he required to say anything at that point. See Johnson v. Apfel, 189 F.3d 561, 563 (7th Cir.1999). Without doubt, however, he raised the subject to the satisfaction of the district judge, who addressed his argument at length. The pui-pose of the waiver rule— to allow the district court an opportunity to rule on claimant’s arguments before they reach this court — has been satisfied in this case and therefore Lawrence’s challenge to the ALJ’s application of the grids is properly before this court. See Cromeens, Holloman, Sibert, Inc v. AB Volvo, 349 F.3d 376, 389 (7th Cir.2003) (). And Lawrence’s argument that the ALJ ### Response: holding that where an issue is raised in the district court but raised late and the district court declines to deem the issue waived the issue may be raised on appeal " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: questions of state law, the Court may decline to exercise jurisdiction over state law claims upon dismissal of the claims over which the Court had original jurisdiction. “Under §§ 1367(c) and 1441(c), a court is not required to remand state law claims when the only federal claim has been dismissed. Instead, the district court maintains discretion to either remand the state law claims or keep them in federal court.” Lindsey v. Dillard’s, Inc., 306 F.3d 596, 599 (8th Cir.2002). Having granted Krambeck’s motion to dismiss her federal claims, the Court now considers the balance of factors informing the exercise of its discretion to remand. The district court’s discretion is substantial and is reviewed deferentially. See Deniz v. Municipality of Guaynabo, 285 F.3d 142, 150 (1st Cir.2002) () (citing Serapion v. Martinez, 119 F.3d 982, ### Response: holding that federal district court retains substantial discretion when deciding whether to retain jurisdiction over pendent state claims after the linchpin federal claims are dismissed " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: indictments filed longer than thirty days after an arrest which add charges to those contained in the original indictment do not violate the Speedy Trial Act. See, e.g., United States v. Mosquera, 95 F.3d 1012, 1013 (11th Cir.1996) (finding no Speedy Trial Act violation when superseding indictment adding new charges was filed following a mistrial based on the fact that the initial indictment was filed within the thirty-day period); United States v. Orbino, 981 F.2d 1035, 1037 (9th Cir.1992) (“A superseding indictment [adding charges] issued before the original indictment is dismissed may issue more than thirty days after the arrest. Not all charges must be filed within the first thirty day period.” (citations omitted)); United States v. Castellano, 848 F.2d 63, 65 (5th Cir.1988) (); United States v.

Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 481, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992) (quotation marks omitted). First, with regard to Petitioners’ asylum claims, the record does not compel us to disagree with the BIA’s decision. See Halaim v. INS, 358 F.3d 1128, 1132 (9th Cir.2004). In Halaim, we were not compelled to find past persecution where the petitioners were subjected to derogatory comments and police harassment based on their status as Pentecostal Christians in the Ukraine. Id. The instant case is closely analogous, and we reach the same result. Here, as in Halaim, the determination that “Petitioners did not suffer past persecution (as distinct from discrimination) is supported by substantial evidence.” Id. See also Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2003) ().

Section 49.09 of the Texas Penal Code provides that, on proof of two prior DWI convictions, the offense is elevated to a third-degree felony, supporting a two- to ten-year range of punishment. Tex. Pen.Code Ann. § 49.09. The State alleged that Gordon had been convicted of two prior DWIs. Gordon signed a written stipulation to two prior convictions. In addition, the State presented evidence of another DWI conviction in 1995. Gordon argues that jurisdictional matters may not be waived and that parties may not confer jurisdiction on a court. See State v. Wheeler, 790 S.W.2d 415, 416 (TexApp.-Amarillo 1990, no pet.); cf. Tamez v. State, 980 S.W.2d 845, 847 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1998), rev’d on other grounds, 11 S.W.3d 198 (Tex.Crim.App.2000) ().

When ruling on a motion to dismiss, the trial court is to consider “all of the evidence actually admitted, whether competent or incompetent.” State v. Vause, 328 N.C. 231, 237, 400 S.E.2d 57, 61 (1991). “[T]he fact that some of the evidence was erroneously admitted by the trial court is not a sufficient basis for granting a motion to dismiss.” State v.

Accordingly, there was no basis for either a breach of contract or a tortious interference with contract claim.... ”). Moreover, two of the three cases involved suits against third parties to the plaintiffs’ employment arrangements. See Futrell, 816 A.2d at 798, 807-08; McManus, 748 A.2d at 957-58. Conversely, two of the cases that Metz cites as supporting his contention that this principle has an exception when the case is brought against a third party do so only by implication. Although each allowed such a claim for tortious interference with an agreement that was terminable at will, neither addressed the question of whether the at-will nature of the agreement precluded the claim. See Sorrells, 565 A.2d at 290-91 (); CASCO, 834 A.2d at 83-84 (reciting the result ### Response: holding only that although a party cannot interfere with its own contract a supervisor who is not an officer of a plaintiffs employer is not a party to the plaintiffs employment contract and therefore can interfere with it " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (citations omitted) (quoting Fitzpatrick, 427 U.S. at 456, 96 S.Ct. 2666)). Our sister circuits wrongly equate the result afforded by congressional power under the Fourteenth Amendment and Article I with the constitutional structure under which Congress governs and the federal courts exercise jurisdiction. When the states adopted the Fourteenth Amendment and consented to cede a portion of their authority to the federal government, it was within their contemplation that they limited them Eleventh Amendment immunity. Fitzpatrick teaches so, and we adhere to its reasoning. See 42,1 U.S. at 453-54, 96 S.Ct. 2666. Although there may be some property interests that are not protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, see, e.g., Paul v.

State, 975 So.2d 1090, 1106 (Fla. 2008). We reject Parker’s summarily presented claim that the prosecutor’s statement during resentencing — that the gist of the notice and the agreement were the same — was “tantamount to a Brady violation,” as well as a violation of Giglio. This claim was not presented to the post-conviction court. Thus, it is procedurally barred. See id. at 1104 (). We now consider Parker’s Brady claim.

The CCS Defendants argue that they did not have any input whatsoever in how long David was detained and, therefore, Plaintiff fails to state a viable Fourteenth Amendment claim against them. For the reasons that follow, the Court finds merit to some of Defendants’ arguments. The Sixth Circuit has recognized a due process claim arising from an inmate’s incarceration beyond his or her court ordered release date. Shorts v. Bartholomew, 255 Fed.Appx. 46 (6th Cir.2007). As the court explained: .. .when a prisoner’s sentence has expired, he is entitled to release. Whirl v. Kern, 407 F.2d 781, 791 (5th Cir.1969) (). Perhaps more to the point, an incarcerated ### Response: holding that there is no privilege in a jailer to keep a prisoner in jail beyond the period of his lawful sentence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: liquidated the subject property and realized the profits therefrom, the receiver had no remaining interest in the property. Id. at 518. The Pyramid court disagreed, finding that the plain language of the statute reflected Congress’s intent to prohibit any interference, direct or indirect, with the functions of the receiver. Id. And, like Dittmer’s lawsuit, the Pyramid court found that the plaintiffs suit would have the effect of rescinding the transfer of property from the receiver to the purchasing company, a move that “would undoubtedly ‘restrain or affect’ the [receiver] in the performance of its statutory duties.” Id. at 519. Other lower courts are in accord with the reasoning of Hindes and Pyramid. See, e.g., Hoxeng v. Topeka Broadcomm, Inc., 911 F.Supp. 1323, 1334-35 (D.Kan.1996) (); Furgatch v.

Bd. of Appeals, 811 F.2d 36, 37 (1st Cir.1987), cert. denied, 483 U.S. 1021, 107 S.Ct. 3266, 97 L.Ed.2d 765 (1987). At issue is whether Plaintiffs Amended Complaint adequately alleges the elements of violations of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 2000d. Title 42 U.S.C. § 1981 provides that “[a]ll persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts.” 42 U.S.C. § 1981(a). In order to establish a § 1981 violation, a party must establish three elements: (1) purposeful discrimination; (2) that is based on race; (3) in the making or enforcing of a contract. See Dartmouth Review, 889 F.2d at 17. See also General Bldg. Contractors Ass’n v. Pennsylvania, 458 U.S. 375, 391, 102 S.Ct. 3141, 3151, 73 L.Ed.2d 835 (1982) ().

Publix Super Mkts., Inc., 178 So.2d 739, 740 (Fla. 2d DCA 1965). Typically, reversals based on deficient jury instructions involve incorrect statements of the law. For example, in Bankers Multiple Line Insurance Co. v. Farish, 464 So.2d 530, 533 (Fla.1985), the trial court gave an instruction that “the greater a defendant’s wealth, the greater must be punitive damages.” The supreme court reversed for a new trial on punitive damages, since the instruction was “not an accurate rule of law” that had been “specifically repudiated” in an earlier case. Id.; see also Coble v. Am. Parks, 576 So.2d 422, 423 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991) (); Poole v.

Wells v. Children's Aid Soc'y, 681 P.2d 199, 208 (Utah 1984). In fact, Utah courts have mandated a hearing, such as the one contemplated by the majority, only where the father asserts that it was impossible for him to comply with Utah statutes because he did not know and could not have known certain material facts: that the mother was pregnant, that she was living in Utah, or that she intended to place the child for adoption in Utah. See Ellis v. Social Servs. Dep't of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 615 P.2d 1250, 1256 (Utah 1980) (); see also Beltran v.

We turn next to Netland’s alternative argument — that the officer violated her right to due process because his behavior shocks the conscience. A defendant’s right to due process has been held to be violated where the action of the government agent is such that it “shocks the conscience.” United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 746, 107 S.Ct. 2095, 95 L.Ed.2d 697 (1987) (“So-called ‘substantive due process’ prevents the government from engaging in conduct that ‘shocks the conscience,’ .... ” (citations omitted)). A cognizable claim under this standard must describe “egregious” governmental conduct, and we have said that “[o]nly the most extreme instances of governmental misconduct satisfy this exacting standard.” Mumm v. Mornson, 708 N.W.2d 475, 487, 490 (Minn.2006) ().

Thus, minorities are disparately impacted. Miller draws support from a Minnesota state district court case which held that a Minnesota statute imposing more severe penalties on individuals convicted of offenses involving cocaine base than those involving cocaine powder violated the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution because of its disparate impact on blacks. See Minnesota v. Russell, No. 89067067, Order (4th Judicial District Dec. 27, 1990); Minnesota v. Russell, No. 89067067, Supplemental Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law (4th Judicial District Jan. 29, 1991). Miller’s due process claim is without merit. United States v. Buckner, 894 F.2d 975, 978-80 (8th Cir.1990) ().

City of North Myrtle Beach, 307 S.C. 24, 413 S.E.2d 821 (1992). Here, there have been no allegations that would support the elements of estoppel. 3) Standing County and City contend the trial judge erred in denying its motion to dismiss on the ground of standing. Appellants allege that since Evins failed to allege any personal stake in the action and there is no evidence in the record of a personal stake, she does not have standing. We disagr uing that its holding applies only to ultra vires acts and then only to those of immense public importance. We disagree. While in Baird there was an allegation of an ultra vires act, clearly in several cases, we have held a citizen has standing when ultra vires acts were not alleged. Berry v. Zahler, 220 S.C. 86, 66 S.E.2d 459 (1951) (); Ashmore v.

It is simply required to perform its contract, and the law will dispose of the money according to the rights of the parties. Cheeves, 28 S.W. at 275 (emphasis added). In the century that has followed Cheeves, Texas courts have held time and again that the insurance contract is to be performed as written. E.g., Wilke v. Finn, 39 S.W.2d 836, 839 (Tex. Comm'n App.1931, judgm't adopted) (quoting Cheeves, 28 S.W. at 275); Stillwagoner, 979 S.W.2d at 358 (“[Although the Texas rule requires the designated beneficiary to have an insurable interest, it is not essential to the validity of the contract.”); DeLeon, 259 F.3d at 353 (). 167 .In Wilke v.

As to the fifth issue, the State agrees that it was error to convict and sentence Defendant on the lesser-included offense of reckless driving, and therefore, we do not consider this issue on appeal. As to the remaining issues, we find no error and, hence, no cumulative error. We affirm and remand, directing the district court to enter an amended judgment and sentence vacating the reckless driving conviction. See State v. Pierce, 110 N.M. 76, 87, 792 P.2d 408, 419 (1990) ().

(PL’s Opp’n at 7:4-8.) By order dated March 23, 2000 the Court struck the Cislo affidavit because Continental failed to timely disclose Cislo as an expert witness. See footnote 3, supra. This leaves only the affidavit of David A. White, Continental’s president, who merely claims that the Continental product represented a ""complete departure” from other products available in the market. (Deck of David A. White ¶ 7.) The alleged uniqueness of Continental's product design, however, does not show inherent distinctiveness. See Pebble Beach Co. v. Tour 18 I Ltd., 155 F.3d 526, 541 n. 7 (5th Cir.1998) (noting that inherent distinctiveness requires more than evidence of a design’s uniqueness); Turtle Wax, Inc. v. First Brands Corp., 781 F.Supp. 1314, 1321 (N.D.Ill.1991) (). Without the expert affidavit, Continental has ### Response: holding that trade dress does not qualify as inherently distinctive merely because no previous product combines the same elements any other rule essentially would require a finding of inherent distinctiveness whenever a new product enters the market " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: v. Francis, 343 Ark. 104, 31 S.W.3d 841 (2000). Appellant maintains that the issues were fully contested in good faith prior to the entry of the 2007 order, that the suit continues to involve the same parties, that the trial court had jurisdiction, and that the agreed order is a judgment upon the merits of the case. However, as pointed out by appellee, appellant failed to obtain a ruling on the issue of the application of res judicata to this action. Failure to do so prevents this court from addressing the issue. The Ar kansas Supreme Court has held, in appeals in both the civil and the criminal context, that an appellant’s failure to obtain a ruling from the fact-finder precludes appellate review. See, e.g., Simpson Housing Solutions, LLC v. Hernandez, 2009 Ark. 480, 347 S.W.3d 1 (); Kelley v.

App. 3d at 797, 610 N.E.2d at 693, quoting Hazelwood v. Illinois Central Gulf R.R., 114 Ill. App. 3d 703, 712, 450 N.E.2d 1199, 1207 (1983). Herman argues that the punitive damages award is not proportional to the compensatory damages awarded each of the Fords. However, we have previously held that the amount of punitive damages awarded does not need to be proportional, especially when a proportional punitive damages award with a small compensatory damages award would do little to deter the particular defendant or others from “engaging in the same reprehensible pattern of conduct in the future.” Tague v. Molitor Motor Co., 139 Ill. App. 3d 313, 318, 487 N.E.2d 436, 439 (1985); see also Deal, 127 Ill. 2d at 204, 537 N.E.2d at 272 (). Herman also argues that the punitive damages ### Response: holding that proportionality is not the touchstone for a punitive damages award " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: apply a harmless error analysis to a trial court’s erroneous summary denial of a request to change counsel. See Lott, 310 F.3d at 1250-52; Morrison, 946 F.2d at 499; McKee v. Harris, 649 F.2d 927, 933-34 (2d Cir.1981). We agree with those courts and hold that a trial judge’s summary denial of a defendant’s motion to change counsel is not structural error requiring automatic reversal. ¶ 13 Instead, we conclude that the appropriate remedy for a trial court’s error in this situation is to remand for a hearing on the defendant’s allegations. See, e.g., Lott, 310 F.3d at 1250 (remanding the case to the district court to conduct a hearing regarding the defendant’s allegation of total breakdown in communication); People v.

In this case the DOJ has sufficiently demonstrated that the information withheld from the Daily Assignment Ros ters could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of one or many individuals and thus falls within Exemption 7(F). As the BOP’s declarations explain, the Daily Assignment Rosters, “reveal the institution’s staffing levels, including how many correctional officers are present on each shift and where those officers are posted throughout the institution. This information could assist individuals in planning incidents, including assaults, homicides, and escape attempts.” 3d Christenson Decl. ¶42; cf. Anderson v. Fed.

Having held that the evidence was lawfully admitted, we need not address this argument. 8 . We distinguish this case from United States v.

As these cases make clear, one who qualifies under the statute may exert ""control” not constrained by temporal circumstances. 15 . Any suggestion that somehow this Court’s precedent would compel a different outcome based on the facts of this case is misplaced. See Edmonds, 226 W.Va. 464, 702 S.E.2d 408 (upholding conviction where maintenance worker/occasional volunteer at a Christian school picked child up in his van and took her to a house he was remodeling where he sexually assaulted her); State ex rel.

In this case, Yasquez’s lawsuit does not seek appellate review of the state court’s decision applying Florida’s forum non conveniens rules to his claims. Instead, Vasquez seeks review of the district court’s order that federal maritime law does not apply to his case, an issue not resolved by the state court. “[I]f United States law is applicable, the American court should retain jurisdiction rather than relegate the controversy to a foreign tribunal.” Szumlicz v. Norwegian Am. Line, Inc., 698 F.2d 1192, 1195 (11th Cir.1983) (internal quotation marks omitted). Vasquez is not asking a federal court to review and reject a judgment of the state court because the Florida court never addressed the issue Vasquez asks us to resolve. See Feldman, 460 U.S. at 487, 103 S.Ct. 1303 ().

Johnson, J., concurring). 3 The study was simply designed to see if there was a correlation between such in útero exposures and birth defects; the study was not designed to find cause. 4 For example, polygraph tests have been widely excluded based not only on Frye but as unreliable under ER 702 and as unfairly prejudicial under ER 403. See, e.g., United States v. Cordoba, 194 F.3d 1053, 1062 (9th Cir. 1999) (affirming trial court exclusion of polygraph under ER 702 and Daubert, 509 U.S. 579); United States v.

That issue was addressed at trial by IRMH’s expert, Julia DiFrancesco.

Counsel for RRI objected generally to DiFrancescos’ expertise in the field, but made no contemporaneous objection to the specific questions resulting in the expert’s opinions. This court need not determine whether DiFrancesco’s opinions are supported by the other evidence in the case because RRI failed to seek their exclusion. As no objection to this crucial evidence was raised below, it was waived. See Anderson v. State, 863 So.2d 169, 180-81 (Fla.2003) ().

Therefore, Defendant knew or should have known that the Trustee could have commenced the instant action post-confirmation and as such, Defendant cannot now claim that such action is barred. For the reasons discussed above, I reject the rationale of those cases which hold that res judicata bars a subsequent action unless the debtor’s disclosure statement and/or plan specifically reserves the right to litigate that specific claim, and choose to follow those courts which hold that a subsequent action is not barred by a prior confirmation hearing under the doctrine of res judicata where the disclosure statement and plan contain a general reservation of the right to pursue preference actions post-confirmation.

Only in 2004, when the land dispute arose, did Musabwasoni exhibit any hostility toward Petitioners. Even once this conflict began, the record contains just a few remarks by Petitioners’ alleged persecutors referencing their Burundian background, always in the context of telling Petitioners to return to Burundi so that Musabwasoni could take the land. Given these facts, it was reasonable for the BIA to conclude that even if Reverien’s remarks suggested that Petitioners’ persecution might be based on their Burundian background, the eight years of prior peace between Petitioners and Musabwasoni dispelled any inference that such animus was a significant reason for their conflict.

In a single sentence in his brief, the appellant suggests that his putative withdrawal from the conspiracy may have affected the district court’s drug-quantity calculation. Any such suggestion is doubly defaulted. For one thing, the district court used the very drug-quantity calculation proposed at sentencing by the appellant, and the appellant is bound by that calculation. See United States v. Teeter, 257 F.3d 14, 28 (1st Cir. 2001). For another thing, the appellant's brief is bereft of developed argumentation concerning any drug-quantity issue and, thus, any such claim of error has been abandoned. See United States v.

Snider, 957 F.2d 703, 706-07 (9th Cir.1992) (“Restitution imposed as a component of the defendant’s sentence is a criminal penalty, not a civil remedy.""); United States v. Satterfield, 743 F.2d 827, 837 (11th Cir.1984) (noting that Congress intended “to treat restitution as one of the options available to the district court in imposing an appropriate sen tence”).

Litton, on the other hand, points to the lead paragraph of this statute and argues that paragraph 6 of the Equipment Sales Agreement, as a matter of law, “otherwise unambiguously indicated” that only home office acceptance shall constitute an acceptance of the contract. In our opinion, both ar ontaining a clause that acceptance can only be made by approval of officers at the home office could be accepted in a manner other than by such written approval.

The VERA, sets out, in relevant part, that an employer must compensate the returning veteran “for any loss of wages or benefits suffered by reason of such employer’s unlawful action.” 38 U.S.C. § 4302. Credit must be given for the wages Lapine earned in the years he was not working for the Town, but the Supreme Court has held that courts should not consider unemployment compensation in reducing an award of back pay. That is, the Town ejudgment interest and I find that Lapine is entitled to such interest on the amount of the back pay award. Awarding him interest on his back pay will properly compensate him and make him whole. See Hembree v. Georgia Power Co., 637 F.2d 423, 429 (5 Cir., 1981) (); Hanna v.

Even if the Court assumes arguendo that plaintiffs allegations are true, the repeated statements do not amount to a continuing tort. “[R]epeated defamations do not constitute a continuing tort; rather, as courts have uniformly recognized, each separate defamatory statement itself constitutes a separate and distinct cause of action.” Lewis v.

The statement supports a theory that both Tapia and Domino shot both victims. Insofar as ambiguities in the statement might be construed to support a theory that only Domino shot one or the other of the victims, the statement does nothing to undermine the conspiracy and aiding and abetting theories under which Tapia was also charged.

Although the notice of appeal that Defendants filed made reference to both of the orders mentioned in the text of this opinion, Defendants have not, as Plaintiff correctly notes, made any argument challenging the denial of their motion for a new trial. As such, the validity of the trial court’s order denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial is not properly before us. 2 . The facts set forth in the text of this opinion are derived from an examination of the allegations set out in Defendants’ amended counterclaim as compared to the allegations contained in their original pleading.

See Rodriguez, 398 F.3d at 1298. Those assumptions are not enough, however, because Vasquez cannot meet the third requirement of the test, which is that he show that the district court’s alleged error prejudiced him — that it created a reasonable probability of a different result. See id. at 1299. One reason that he cannot show that is because the court also based the manager-or-supervisor enhancement on the undisputed fact that Vasquez provided the money with which the conspirators bought the heroin. We have held that “provid[ing] funding for [a] criminal endeavor” supports a § 3B1.1 enhancement. United States v. Ramsdale, 61 F.3d 825, 830 (11th Cir.1995); cf. United States v.

We affirmed the trial court’s decision, concluding: It is only necessary that we find tenable grounds to support the conclusion that the jury verdict ... is excessive. Such grounds are clearly present. The trial court was acting within the proper bounds of its discretion in entering the order granting a new trial upon the refusal of the plaintiff to file the remittitur. Id. at 750, 224 N.W.2d at 188. See, also, e.g., Scherz v. Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District, 151 Neb. 415, 37 N.W.2d 721 (1949) ().

The fact that plaintiffs request for attorneys' fees remained outstanding is irrelevant to the issue as to whether a final judgment had been entered. See Taylor v. Texgas Corp., 831 F.2d 255, 258 (11th Cir.1987) (awards of attorneys’ fees in ADEA cases are collateral to decision on the merits). See generally Budinich v.

Although we do not decide whether any particular cause of action would lie on the facts of this case under the law of the District of Columbia, or if applicable, of Maryland, on remand the parties and the trial court should consider claims based on intentional or reek-less misrepresentation, derived from the common law of torts, see, e.g., Carr v. Brown, 395 A.2d 79, 84 (D.C.1978) (describing tortious interference with prospective advantage as ""loosely allied to defamation”); but see Elliott v.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (a)(2)(A)(i)(I); 8 U.S.C. § 1255(a) (listing admissibility as one requirement for adjustment of status). Mr. Umoh does not dispute that, in order to be granted adjustment of status, he must obtain a waiver of inadmissibility under § 1182(h). 2 .Mr. Umoh also addresses the BIA's denial of his motion for reconsideration in his opening brief. Because he failed to file a separate petition for review, we do not have jurisdiction to review that decision. See Desta v. Ashcroft, 329 F.3d 1179, 1183 (10th Cir.2003) (). 3 .

Defendant asserts that since filing its motion, discovery has revealed facts sufficient to support the application of Australian law. Australian law does not recognize a bad faith claim or allow for the recovery of punitive damages based on breach of an insurance contract. (Id. at 7.) Therefore, these claims would be barred. The laws of California and Australia are materially different, making the choice of law analysis a matter of great importance in this case. See, e.g., Stonewall Surplus Lines Ins. Co. v. Johnson Controls, Inc. (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 637, 645, 17 Cal.Rptr.2d 713 ().

See Utah R.Crim. P. 12(d). ¶ 11 Defendant argues that the trial court, in effect, waived his waiver because he asserts the hearing on his motion after sentencing amounted to a restitution hearing. In support of his position defendant cites to the following cases: State v. Seale, 853 P.2d 862, 870 (Utah 1993) (concluding when issue raised in motion for new trial for first time, and court addressed issue on merits in denying motion and considered alleged error rather than finding it waived, defendant's right to assert issue on appeal was resuscitated); State v.

State v. Dixon, 880 S.W.2d 696, 699 (Tenn.Crim.App.1992). I fail to see what difference it makes here that the State elected not to contest the motion to suppress. In other words, whether opposed or not, Appellant got exactly what he asked for, suppression of evidence against him. “Bad faith” on the part of the State in this area of the law has heretofore been thought to be the action of intentionally procuring a continuance of the preliminary hearing beyond the 30-day time period of Rule 5(e), Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure, for the purpose of presenting the case directly to the grand jury thereby depriving the defendant of a preliminary hearing. See, e.g., Moore v. State, 578 S.W.2d 78 (Tenn.1979); State v.

Crawford, 541 U.S. at 68, 124 S.Ct. 1354. As Forde concedes, the message was not testimonial. “Testimony” means “[a] solemn declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact.” Id. at 51, 124 S.Ct. 1354. The text message reflected Gaxiola’s intent to warn Forde of police activity; it did not seek to establish or prove a fact. Cf. State v.

The government contends that we should deny the petition for review and affirm the denial of asylum on the ground that the group to which Galdamez belongs is not a “particular social group” within the meaning of the Immigration and Nationality Act. However, neither the IJ nor the BIA decided whether the group of which Galdamez claims to be a member — “young Honduran men who have been actively recruited by gangs and who have refused to join the gangs” — is a “particular social group” within the meaning of the Act. We decline to decide this question in the first instance. See Gonzales v. Thomas, 547 U.S. 183, 126 S.Ct. 1613, 164 L.Ed.2d 358 (2006) ().

As stated in its brief, GNS raises this argument simply to preserve its rights in the event we determine that an affidavit regarding the availability of renter's insurance is necessary. 2 .

The exposure occurred prior to birth. [¶ 7] Hettieh moved to dismiss the complaint under N.D.R.Crim.P. 12(b)(2). She argued the State failed to allege she committed any criminal act upon her child postpartum. The State argued that the child was “exposed” to methamphetamine postpartum and the mother was criminally liable. The trial court dismissed the complaint, concluding the State failed to prove in its information or affidavit of probable caus h Carolina and Alabama have held an unborn child is a child, person, or individual for purposes of criminal prosecution.

Here, Dodd’s confession to having a gun was corroborated by his threat to the clerk that he would kill her if she did not do as he told her. Although his threat, unaccompanied by any representation of a deadly weapon, would not independently be sufficient to establish the element of a deadly weapon, the threat is sufficient to corroborate Dodd’s confession to being armed.

See Heery, 61 N.C. App. at 613, 300 S.E.2d at 870. In Heery, we held that because there was no finding of fact in the trial court’s order, and petitioners did not allege any special damages, petitioners were not an aggrieved party and thus lacked standing. In contrast, the Neighborhood alleged special damages in their original motion to intervene and particularized the special damages in their amended motion. Petitioner emphasizes that the City found there was no evidence of diminished property values; however, the court, not the City, determines standing. The superior court found the Neighborhood to be aggrieved, such a finding is supported by the Neighborhood’s pleading, and therefore we affirm. See Piney Mountain, 63 N.C.

When Finley checked the door, he found it chained from the inside. When Finley called out, no one answered. Ms. Patterson’s son, however, insisted that Marquette was inside. As Finley walked off the porch, three shotgun blasts came through the window and struck him. There was an exchange of gunfire, and the police launched tear gas into the house. A small fire broke out. The shooting from inside the house stopped. The police entered. Marquette was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

We therefore conclude that trial court erred in suppressing the evidence on this basis. However, we turn briefly to address the defendant's additional contention. The defendant argues to us that he did not consent to the search of his pockets. C.A.R. 4.1 provides an appeal for the prosecution rather than for the defendant. See C.A.R. 4.1(a) (""The state may file an interloc utory appeal in the supreme court from a ruling of a district court granting a motion . made in advance of trial by the defendant ... to suppress evidence ....""); see also section 16-12-102(2), CRS. (2008). Consequently, we lack jurisdiction to address an issue the trial court resolved in favor of the prosecution. See People v. Gothard, 185 P.3d 180, 183 (Colo.2008) (); People v.

Consequently, at a minimum, J.B. should receive a psychiatric evaluation for diagnostic and evaluation purposes in order to determine the extent of the psychological and counseling services that he needs to benefit from special education. Based on this evaluation, a PPT must be convened to incorporate the psychiatrist’s recommendations into an appropriate special education program for J.B. This Court is sensitive to the warning that courts should avoid causing states to incur huge expenditures by requiring states to provide health care. See Detsel v.

Although the standard has the benefit of being fairly widespread, we reject it for two reasons. First, adopting the “fairly debatable” standard would not resolve the conflict that we face. A jury finding of bad faith would still be predicated upon a negative proposition — that coverage of the insured’s claim was not fairly debatable. See, e.g., Gilbert, 646 So.2d at 593 (stating that plaintiff in bad faith case must prove “the absence of a debatable reason”); Tokles & Son, 605 N.E.2d at 943 (); Billings, 918 P.2d at 464-66 (holding that ### Response: holding that insured not liable for bad faith when claim was fairly debatable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in the form of its “unique business and marketing systems, its data base, its 800 number, and its very ability to do business”.

Noting that it is an issue of first impression for the District of Columbia whether the tort of conversion should encompass intangible rights other than ones “ ‘customarily merged in, or identified with some document’ ”, 839 F.Supp. at 933 (quoting W. Page Keeton, et al., Prosser and Keeton on the Law of Torts § 15, at 92 (5th ed. 1984)), the court rejected the claim on the theory that the District of Columbia would not so extend the tort. The district court may have been correct, but we note that some courts have extended conversion in this way. See, e.g., National Surety Corp. v.

Richardson is not required to perfect a second interlocutory appeal in order to require the trial court to give effect to our judgment and mandate in Foster. Requiring Richardson to pursue a second interlocutory appeal to obtain relief we have already granted in a prior interlocutory appeal is not an adequate remedy at law. See Columbia Med.

Since its effective date, this court has had only four occasions to interpret Rule 3.7 in the context of an attorney’s testimony being sought by the opposing party. In two of those cases, this court did not specifically discuss the applicability of the rule; rather, the issue was disposed of by holding that there had been no showing that the attorney’s testimony was necessary.

The second reason why Compton was not a necessary party to the ORS 279.067 action is that ODOT had awarded no contract at the time of trial. Compton had no existing contractual right to protect. The third reason why Compton was not a necessary party to the action relates to the first two. Compton lacked a direct interest in the outcome of the controversy brought by Steelman-Duff. Compton did have an interest in the indirect effects of the outcome of the litigation between Steelman-Duff and ODOT. However, Compton’s interest in the indirect effects of the outcome of the litigation is not the same as an interest in the controversy itself. See Wright v.

Dr. Martinez argues that Spada was required to properly “exhaust” his administrative remedies despite SCI-Graterford officials withholding grievance forms during the 15-day filing period. However, we correctly concluded that Spada’s claims were procedurally defaulted because he initiated his civil action prior to completion of the grievance process, see Ahmed v.

Because the judgment against Waddill was involuntarily satisfied, her motion to vacate was not moot and should not have been dismissed. We note that Reardon was decided before Dorso and that the broad language of Dorso may suggest that the supreme court implicitly rejected the Reardon exception for involuntarily satisfied judgments. We do not believe this was the court’s intent, however. While the court has made clear that the Dorso rule is to have broad application, it also has recognized circumstances in which the rule does not apply. See Jorissen v.

Because we lack jurisdiction, we DISMISS this appeal and REMAND the case for further proceedings in the district court. 1 . Dr. Koch obtained her Ph.D. degree from Ohio State University in 1985.

The trial court entered a judgment notwithstanding the verdict on the grounds that Twist had not made a submissible case. On appeal, the Missouri Supreme Court concluded that Twist had in fact made a submissible case. The court, however, remanded the matter based on an instructional error. Upon retrial, the jury awarded Twist $15 million dollars. The defendants filed an appeal asserting, among other things, that their use of Twist's name was protected speech under the First Amendment. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District affirmed the judgment of the trial court. Doe v. McFarlane, 2006 WL 1677856, - S.W.3d -(Mo.Ct.App.2006). 9 . Use of a plaintiff's name, however, must be more than ''incidental” to violate the right of publicity. TCI, 110 S.W.3d at 375 ().

See 11 U.S.C. § 1328(f)(1). Although Chapter 20 cases are permitted, TD Bank and the Trustee encourage this Court to adopt a per se rule making lien stripping in a Chapter 20 case contingent upon the entry of a Chapter 13 discharge. A general review of lien stripping is instructive. “In a ‘strip off the entire lien is removed, whereas in a ‘strip down’ a lien is bifurcated into secured and unsecured claims with only the unsecured claim component being removed.’ ” Johnson v. Asset Management Group, LLC, 226 B.R. 364, 365 n. 3 (D.Md.1998) (citing In re Lam, 211 B.R. 36, 37 n. 2 (9th Cir. BAP 1997)). It is well established that a debtor is precluded from lien stripping in Chapter 7 cases. See Dewsnup v. Timm, 502 U.S. 410, 112 S.Ct. 773, 116 L.Ed.2d 903 (1992) (); see also Ryan v.

Further, the Supreme Court has made clear that 42 U.S.C. § 1981a, enacted by Congress in 1991, can be seen as creating a new cause of action that attaches an important new legal burden to engaging in discriminatory conduct in violation of Title VII, and that “‘if a complaining party seeks compensatory or punitive damages,’ the jury trial option must stand or fall with the attached damages provisions.” Landgraf v. U.S.I. Film Products, 511 U.S. 244, 114 S.Ct. 1483, 1505, 128 L.Ed.2d 229 (1994); see, e.g., Elbaz v. Congregation Beth Judea, Inc., 812 F.Supp. 802, 808 (N.D.Ill.1992) ().

In Holmes v. Marriott Corp., 881 F.Supp. 691, 708 (S.D.Iowa 1993), then Magistrate Judge Bennett held that the defendant’s argument that comments attributed to someone without “full and final authority” to make the adverse employment decision “presents too truncated a view of workplace personnel decisions and is at odds with the reality of today’s workplace where important personnel decisions often represent the collective judgment of several individuals.”. See also Piantanida v. Wyman Ctr., Inc., 927 F.Supp. 1226, 1240 (W.D.Mo.1996) (); Moore v.

Where a defendant is not sufficiently identified as the same individual who was previously convicted, the judgment of conviction finding him or her to be a persistent violator must be vacated. State v. Poison, 92 Idaho 615, 622, 448 P.2d 229, 236 (1968). The evidence presented by the state to establish that Lawyer had previously been convicted of felony DUI within fifteen years was a certified copy of a 2001 judgment of conviction with an attached criminal complaint, both bearing the name “Daniel J.

See Lee-Crespo, 354 F.3d at 46 (affirming summary judgment for an employer in a hostile environment case where there was no evidence that the conduct caused “an impediment to [the plaintiffs] work performance”). The inappropriate conduct alleged here is similar to conduct which this circuit and others have deemed insufficient to establish a hostile work environment claim. See, e.g., Chamberlin, 915 F.2d at 783 (concluding that it was “highly doubtful” that five sexual advances by a supervisor “could be considered sufficiently severe or pervasive to support a sexual discrimination claim of the hostile environment variety”); Morgan v. Mass. Gen. Hosp., 901 F.2d 186, 192-93 (1st Cir.1990) (); Burnett v. Tyco Corp., 203 F.3d 980, 984-85 ### Response: holding that conduct was not sufficiently severe or pervasive where over twoweek period a coworker stood behind the plaintiff to create physical contact surreptitiously looked at the plaintiffs genitals in the restroom and engaged in unwanted touching " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: [the detective’s] interview of [the victim] at the hospital tip the scales in favor of the interview’s being structured police questioning. Id. at 24, 619 S.E.2d at 845. We cannot discern a meaningful distinction between Detective Duft’s request in this case for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg crime laboratory to test the substances he obtained from Defendant for the presence of cocaine and the detective’s request in Lewis for the victim to respond to a photographic lineup and identify the defendant. The sole purpose of Detective Duft’s request was to obtain evidence to support the charges at trial, and a reasonable lab technician would expect that his or her conclusions would be used at the subsequent trial. See People v. Lonsby, 2005 Mich. App. LEXIS 2533 (No. 250559) (13 Oct. 2005) (); People v. Rogers, 8 A.D.3d 888, 891, 780 ### Response: holding a nontestifying serologists notes and lab report constitute testimonial hearsay and their introduction through another witness violated the confrontation clause " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: case.”) (emphasis added). Mr. Reed argues, however, that there was a coercive element in the execution of the waiver given his rocky relationship with the Ohio prison officials. See generally Ortiz II, 947 P.2d at 86 (discussing Mr. Reed’s reputation as an advocate for prisoners’ rights and the resentment expressed by Ohio prison officials). But even if we assume that there was coercion, there is no evidence in the record — indeed, Mr. Reed does not even allege — that the Prosecutor Appellees had or should have had any reason to know that the waiver was signed involuntarily. Because the waiver was facially valid, it was objectively reasonable for the Prosecutor Appellees to rely on the waiver. Cf United States v. Leon, 468 U.S. 897, 919-20, 104 S.Ct. 3405, 82 L.Ed.2d 677 (1984) (). B.

Hill strenuously argues that equitable estoppel should apply because someone working for the EEOC misinformed her, leading her to file her complaint too late for purposes of the MHRA. Because the Missouri courts have held that the 180-day filing deadline is jurisdictional, however, the doctrine of equitable estoppel is inapplicable. Hill’s citation to numerous cases applying equitable estoppel and waiver in the ADEA and Title YII contexts is unhelpful, because unlike the MHRA, the filing deadlines for those federal statutes are not jurisdictional. Zipes v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 455 U.S. 385, 392-93, 102 S.Ct. 1127, 1131-32, 71 L.Ed.2d 234 (1982) (); Anderson v. Unisys Corp., 47 F.3d 302, 305-06 ### Response: holding that the filing deadline under title vii is not a jurisdictional prerequisite to suit in federal court but a requirement that like a statute of limitations is subject to waiver estoppel and equitable tolling " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: decisions. Charging decisions are primarily a matter of discretion for the prosecution, the representatives of the executive branch of government, who “are not mere servants of the judiciary.” Miller, 722 F.2d at 565. Case law clearly establishes that separation of powers mandates the judiciary remain independent of executive affairs and vice versa. See Bordenkircher v. Hayes, 434 U.S. 357, 364, 98 S.Ct. 663, 668-69, 54 L.Ed.2d 604 (1978); United States v. Cox, 342 F.2d 167, 171 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 381 U.S. 935, 85 S.Ct. 1767, 14 L.Ed.2d 700 (1965). This principle is also established by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Though charging decisions implicate executive power, they also implicate the sentencing discretion of district courts. See Carrigan, 778 F.2d at 1464 (). However, the court’s sentencing discretion is ### Response: recognizing in dicta that charging decisions restrict the district courts ability to impose what it considered an appropriate sentence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: excess of the contribution from Medicare and Blue Cross. See id. at 455. The majority finds that by forgiving all appellant’s reasonable medical costs in excess of the $12,167.40 payment from Medicare and Blue Cross, appellee made a $96,500.91 contribution to appellant. Appellee admits, however, that Medicare prohibits it from seeking “the remainder of the fair and reasonable cost of its services from Appellant or from any other source.” Id. at 2. Thus, appellee did not contribute anything to appellant that appellant had not already received from Medicare. This means that appellee itself has made no payment to the injured party in excess of Medicare’s contribution. Accordingly, appellee is not entitled to a setoff. Cf. Kashner v. Geisinger Clinic, 432 Pa.Super. 361, 638 A.2d 980 (1994) ().

For the following reasons, we disagree. R.C. 149.43(B) requires that public records be promptly prepared and made available for inspection at reasonable times upon request. R.C. 149.43(A)(1) defines a “public record” as “any record that is kept by any public office.” However, records that are prohibited from being released by state or federal law are excepted from public inspection. R.C. 149.43(A)(1). For example, in a civil proceeding, records and reports compiled by departments of human services and children’s services boards regarding allegations of child abuse are confidential and privileged. R.C. 2151.421(H)(1); 5153.17; State ex rel. Renfro v. Cuyahoga Cty. Dept. of Human Serv. (1990), 54 Ohio St.3d 25, 27, 560 N.E.2d 230, 232-233 ().

Where, however, damages are caused by the plaintiff’s failure to care for his own safety (not his physical condition), plaintiff may not recover those damages. In the past the appellate courts of this state have not shied away from their continuing responsibilities to ensure that the law remains fair and realistic as changes occur. See, e.g., Hicks v. State, 88 N.M. 588, 544 P.2d 1153 (1975) (abrogating sovereign immunity); Scott v. Rizzo (adopting comparative negligence); Lopez v. Maez, 98 N.M. 625, 651 P.2d 1269 (1982) (); Vigil v.

Second, because SFS owned or leased the offices from which it operated, Jackson Hewitt was not in control of the premises where the tort was committed. And, third, Jackson Hewitt was not in control of either Prewett or JHIS. Jackson Hewitt had no contractual relationship with either Prewett or JHIS. Prewett was employed by SFS, not Jackson Hewitt, and JHIS was an independent corporate entity. Under these circumstances, Jackson Hewitt had no duty to the Kamans, and the Kamans did not meet the threshold requirement necessary to establish their negligence claim. See Cantalupo v.

Although plaintiffs’ complaint contains nineteen counts, plaintiffs focus on Count I, Counts IX-X, and Counts II-IV, as those counts which are likely to succeed on the merits. Plaintiffs’ arguments as to each of these counts will be discussed in turn. 1. Count I — The legal incidence of the tax falls on the Kansas Tribes and therefore the tax is per se invalid as a matter of law. The fuel tax provided for in the Act falls upon the “distributor of first receipt.” Kan. Stat. Ann § 79-3408(c). See also Sac & Fox, 213 F.3d at 578-79 (). In Oklahoma Tax Comm’n v.

We have said repeatedly that Rule 60(b) is not a substitute for an appeal or a timely motion under Rule 59(e), and cannot serve to resurrect arguments that were available before the time for filing an appeal expired.

Eyiowuawi does not dispute that he learned about the dismissal shortly after the decision was announced, but he did not act promptly to seek our review of that ruling.

DISCUSSION A. MRFC form Nation asserts the ALJ did not fully and fairly develop the record because Dr. Le-gum did not complete a MRFC form, and specifically asserts Dr. Legum did not address Nation’s ability to work full-time. Nation contends the only way to address this issue is for Dr. Legum to answer questions 7 and 11 of the MRFC form. The ALJ has an obligation to develop a full and fair record, even if the claimant is represented by counsel. Cowart v. Schweiker, 662 F.2d 731, 735 (11th Cir. 1981). The ALJ is not required to seek additional independent expert medical testimony before making a disability determination if the record is sufficient and additional expert testimony is not necessary for an informed decision.

(Pl.’s Reply in Support of Mot. to Strike at 5-10.) The government’s argument has merit. Even if Honeywell’s factual asser: tions are accepted as true, and deemed incorporated into the answer, Honeywell has not set forth the elements of either estoppel or waiver that are necessary in order to maintain these defenses against the government. With respect to estoppel, Honeywell has not pointed to any definite representation by the government, only a failure of the government to accept Honeywell’s offer of test results.

Id. at 1112-13. We reasoned that our recognition in Aguila-Montes that § 459’s unlawfulness requirement was different than federal generic burglary’s unlawfulness requirement did not change the fact that the conduct prohibited by § 459 involved a substantial risk of force. Every violation of § 459 might not present that level of risk, but “the proper inquiry for the categorical approach is whether the conduct covered by the crime presents the requisite risk of injury ‘in the ordinary case.’ ” Id. at 1112 (quoting James v. United States, 550 U.S. 192, 208, 127 S.Ct. 1586, 167 L.Ed.2d 532 (2007)); see also United States v. Park, 649 F.3d 1175, 1179-80 (9th Cir.2011) ().

The fact that he did not use the sledgehammer as a weapon is irrelevant to the issue of possession. To hold otherwise would directly contradict the plain meaning of this provision of the Guidelines, and would lead to absurd results. For example, a burglar could enter a bank carrying several guns and explosives and remain exempt from the two-level sentencing enhancement so long as those “tools of the trade” were used only to break open the safes. Accordingly, we hold that U.S.S.G. § 2B2.1(b)(4) requires only possession of a dangerous weapon, regardless of whether the dangerous weapon was employed as such during the commission of a crime. Cf. United States v. Lavender, 224 F.3d 939, 941 (9th Cir.2000) (). Based on the facts of the case and the plain ### Response: holding that because defendant possessed a screwdriver during the bank robbery and a screwdriver is properly classified as a dangerous weapon the district court did not err by applying the enhancement to him regarding ussg 2b31b2e which applies if a dangerous weapon was brandished displayed or possessed " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: based on a state ground independent from federal law, made apparent by Villa’s detailed reasoning and its numerous citations to California statutes and cases. Villa’s conclusion that state habeas relief is only available to those in custody stemmed from its interpretation of California Penal Code section 1473. Such an interpretation of a state statute constitutes an independent state ground, unrelated to federal law. Although Villa cites to a federal case, Maleng v. Cook, 490 U.S. 488, 109 S.Ct. 1923, 104 L.Ed.2d 540 (1989), the discussion there was to provide examples of collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, similar to Villa’s deportation, which do not constitute “custody” for the purpose of California state habeas. 45 Cal.4th at 1070-71, 90 Cal.Rptr.3d 344, 202 P.3d 427 ().

Title VII provides that it is unlawful for an employer “to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment.” 42 Ü.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(l). The Supreme Court has held that “this not only covers ‘terms’ and ‘conditions’ in the narrow sense, but ‘evinces a congressional intent to strike at the entire spectrum of disparate treatment ... in employment.’ ” Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Servs., Inc., 523 U.S. 75, 78, 118 S.Ct. 998, 140 L.Ed.2d 201 (1998) (quoting Meritor Savings Bank, FSB v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57, 64, 106 S.Ct. 2399, 91 L.Ed.2d 49 (1986)). Cf.

This additional medical evidence would have helped counter the State’s aggravation case in three respects. First, evidence that Pinholster’s brain damage may have influenced, or even caused, his behavior at the time of the crime may have led jurors to conclude that he was less morally culpable at the time of the offense, and at least one juror may have been inclined to refrain from voting in favor of a capital sentence.

Third, Santoro was decided in the context of the pro-claimant nature of VA’s administrative claims adjudication, and any extension of the holding in Santoro to limit VA’s statutory obligations in forwarding an SOC to a claimant would be at odds with the nature of such adjudication.

At the outset, the court notes that the Second Circuit has strongly suggested that actions taken without authority under state law, such as when a board lacks jurisdiction over property, give rise to a conclusion that the state entity lacked a rational basis for their actions, and that such actions violate substantive due process.

In this case, the LOI was “entered into in connection with [a] maritime commercial venture” and, thus, is a contract that is “maritime in nature.” Williamson, 542 F.3d at 49.

The absurd realities of recognizing consent as a defense to assault with significant bodily injúry are not farfetched.

It is clear from these facts that defendant was at all material times the exclusive focus of the investigation.

Utah courts have placed great emphasis on the length and form of the questioning used during an interview. See, e.g., Mincy, 838 P.2d at 653; Sampson, 808 P.2d at 1105. Courts have not found custodial interrogation where the questioning was merely investigatory. Mincy, 838 P.2d at 653.

However, the E.E.O.C. explicitly included retaliation in its reasonable cause determination. (See Doc. No. 63, Ex. 11 at 1.) As such, to the extent Defendant argues that Tawwaab’s retaliation claim is beyond the scope of his E.E.O.C. Charge, the Court does not agree. See E.E.O.C. v. Gen. Elec.

Here, Pintos did not voluntarily seek credit. Rather, the debt arose by statute when the lien sale price of her vehicle failed to cover the towing and impound charges. See Cal Civ.Code § 3068.2. Pintos never sought to have her vehicle towed, and she incurred the resulting debt involuntarily. Consequently, no one granted her “credit” as define that PCA had a permissible purpose to obtain Pintos’s credit report because it, too, was engaged in debt collection. This reading of Hasbun was not unreasonable at the time. Hasbun was decided prior to the 2003 FACTA amendments, however, and it must be reevaluated in light of the 12956 amended FCRA.

As an account manager at RBC Reid is responsible for monitoring and collecting the Atas-ca Oaks and Lake Houston Notes. Therefore, Reid is competent to testify on the amounts due on the Notes, and his affidavit satisfies the requirements of Rule 56(c)(4). See, e.g., United States v.

In these situations the federal removal court will look beyond the letter of the complaint to the substance of the claim in order to assert jurisdiction.”). Therefore, in the proper case, the Court may deem a federal question to exist despite the lack of any direct assertion of a violation of federal law in the original pleading filed in state court. The proper case, however, exists only where it is not possible to bring the action asserted by the Plaintiff in state court. Cf. Bartholet v. Reishauer A.G.

See Perry, 16 Kan. App. 2d at 151. The district court erred in finding that the crime of aggravated kidnapping was not multiplicitous with the charge of aggravated indecent liberties. The evidence revealed that Morfitt placed his hands on A.S.’s breasts and then on her vaginal area. It was never alleged that these events were separated by time and space. A reading of the trial transcripts and A.S.’s deposition appears to indicate that the touching occurred at the same time and was, therefore, one continuous act of force. See State v. Harkness, 252 Kan. 510, 532-33, 847 P.2d 1191 (1993) ().

In Ward’s view, the inability of a person under the age of fourteen .to legally consent to sexual activity demonstrates that first-degree statutory sodomy, like first-degree sexual misconduct, requires proof of lack of consent. Thus, Ward concludes, first-degree sexual misconduct is included in first-degree statutory sodomy because the former may be established by proof of the same or less than all the facts required to prove the latter offense. However, as Stokely confirms, the inability of a person under the age of fourteen to legally consent to sexual activity actually demonstrates that “[a]ge is the essential element” in statutory sexual offenses such as statutory sodomy, and thus the intent of the perpetrator and the consent of the victim are irrelevant.

It may well be that the AvJet spill forever “sensitized” Ms. Cavallo to petroleum vapors and various other household chemicals.

Qualified Immunity Officers Smith and Herring plead the defense of qualified immunity. The standard for that defense is that governmental officials performing discretionary functions are entitled to qualified immunity, which shields them from civil damages, provided their conduct did not violate a clearly-established constitutional or statutory right of which a reasonable person would have known. Hoard v. Sizemore, 198 F.3d 205, 211 (6th Cir.1999) (citation omitted). To defeat a claim of qualified immunity, a plaintiff must plead and prove that the defendant violated such a right. Id. In general, there is, and was at the time in question, no clearly-established right for an arrested person to be free of tight handcuffs. See Nemeckay, 894 F.Supp. at 314-18 ().

While the issue is complicated, and the cases are like Shipp passing in the night, the Court concludes that where a predicate offense is improperly classified as a “violent felony” under the ACCA because of an intervening change in law which created a novel claim, “cause and prejudice must yield to the imperative of correcting a fundamentally unjust incarceration.” Murray, 477 U.S. at 495, 106 S.Ct. 2639 (quotations omitted).

State, 801 So.2d 877, 890-93 (Fla. 2001) (finding error in denying cause challenge to one juror who emphatically believed that the defendant’s failure to testify indicated guilt); see also Welch v.

Generally, courts have defined feasibility in this context more broadly than does Langston, to encompass not only technological possibility, but also considerations of cost and practicality and technological possibility. Given the scope of such definition, however, courts have advised that it should be applied cautiously in (5th Cir.1989)). Where, however, a defendant’s evidence and arguments are framed in categorical terms, are presented in the form of superlatives, or, more generally, upset the balance of fairness that Rule 407 seeks to maintain, courts have found the exceptions applicable. See, e.g., Wood, 70 F.3d at 1208 (); cf. Muzyka v. Remington Arms Co., 774 F.2d ### Response: holding that where the defendants expert described the product design using superlatives namely the safest design you could possibly put on the machine the plaintiff should have been permitted to impeach the expert by inquiring why the safest design possible was modified following the plaintiffs accident " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the plan, and Coan’s suit co 966, 973-74 (E.D.Mo.2010) (reasoning that participants adequately represented plan by naming multiple plaintiffs, those plaintiffs conceded they could only recover for the plan, and preclusion issues were not presently before the court), In re AEP ERISA Litig., No. C2-08-67, 2009 WL 3854943, at *1 (S.D.Ohio Nov. 17, 2009) (noting participant sought but was denied class certification), and Waldron v.

In Latham v. Mountain States Mutual Casualty Co., for example, the court held that when an unknown vehicle strikes another vehicle, which in turn strikes the insured, the requirements of the section are met and coverage is afforded. 482 S.W.2d 655, 657 (Tex.Civ.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1972, writ ref d n.r.e.). However, collisions with cargo that has fallen from an unidentified vehicle or with debris in the roadway have been held not to constitute “actual physical contact” with a “motor vehicle.” Deville, 988 S.W.2d at 333; Williams, 849 S.W.2d at 861; Smith, 2003 WL 21391534, at *3, 2003 Tex.App. LEXIS 5056, at *7 ().

[The] warrant ... does not contain facts stating that [he] intended to go armed. Thus, he is factually innocent. This issue as framed brings to mind interesting issues such as whether the claim is justiciable in a post-conviction proceeding, see Dellinger v.

In Wiley, supra, the supreme court held that false statements that implied that a public official was misusing his office for his own personal gain were defamatory. 495 So.2d at 619. In Gray v. WALA-TV, 384 So.2d 1062 (Ala.1980), overruled on other grounds, Nelson v. Lapeyrouse Grain Corp., 534 So.2d 1085 (Ala.1988), the supreme court held that statements implying that a public contractor had “corruptly and illegally obtained, through political connections, a contract with the city and had not performed under the contract although having been paid to do so, and thereby dishonestly obtained public funds,” were libelous per se. 384 So.2d at 1065.

Nevertheless, the government asks the Court to reconsider its decision because, since Baires-Reyes was decided, several circuit courts have held that either the residual clause of § 924(c)(3) or § 16(b) (the statute at issue in Dimaya) is not void for vagueness. See, e.g., United States v. Prickett, 839 F.3d 697 (8th Cir. 2016) (§ 924(c)(3)(B)); United States v. Hill, 832 F.3d 135 (2d Cir. 2016) (§ 924(c)(3)(B)); United States v.

Unless the substitution would cause significant delay or inefficiency or run afoul of the other considerations we have men tioned, a defendant can fire his retained or appointed lawyer and retain a new attorney for any reason or no reason. See Miller v. Blacketter, 525 F.3d 890, 896 (9th Cir.2008) (in a case in which the defendant sought to replace his court-appointed attorney with retained counsel, evaluating “whether the trial judge’s decision was an unreasonable exercise of its discretion to balance Miller’s right to his chosen counsel against concerns of fairness and scheduling”); Bradley v.

The test is applied to claims of ineffective assistance of counsel at any stage of the litigation. See Hill v. Lock-hart, 474 U.S. 52, 57, 106 S.Ct 366, 88 L.Ed.2d 203 (1985). In Strickland, the Supreme Court found that the district court had properly declined to issue a writ of habeas corpus. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 701, 104 S.Ct. 2052 ().

Because Demers did not object to the challenged condition before the district court, he must not only demonstrate the existence of an error; he must also show that it is plain. See United States v. Pirani, 406 F.3d 543, 550 (8th Cir.2005) (en banc). An error is plain if it is “obvious” or “clear under current law.” Olano, 507 U.S. at 734, 113 S.Ct. 1770. In light of Demers’s history of sexual abuse and lack of children, and because we have never held that a condition barring contact with minors is invalid without an exception for contact pursuant to prior approval, we do not believe that imposing such an unqualified condition constitutes an error that is clear under current law. See Ristine, 335 F.3d at 695 (). Accordingly, even assuming that Demers could ### Response: holding that a condition banning possession of pornography did not constitute plain error because the current law concerning this issue is unsettled " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: See Cleavinger v.

Econo-mou, 438 U.S. 478, 513, 98 S.Ct. 2894, 57 L.Ed.2d 895 (1978). (c) Statute of Limitations We next address Ms. Lewis’s argument that the district court incorrectly applied the statute of limitations to her claim against Kimberly Martinez. The district court held that the three-year statute of limitations had run before Ms. Lewis filed her complaint on November 29, 2010, because she alleged that Ms. Martinez’s actionable conduct occurred on November 28, 2007.

Id. § 411.153(b). We therefore agree with the City that section 411.153(b) protects from disclosure information in a DNA record, even if that DNA record has not been forwarded to the director for inclusion in the state DNA database. See id. Were we to adopt the Star-Telegram’s interpretation of section 411.153, we would be left with the absurd result that only the DNA records of the convicted offender would be exempt from disclosure under the PIA. We do not believe this is what the legislature intended. See University of Tex. Sw. Med. Ctr. v. Loutzenhiser, 140 S.W.3d 351, 356 & n. 20 (Tex.2004) ().

Defendants concede that plaintiffs’ claims are secured by liens on their principal residences. Therefore, the key issue is whether those liens constitute “security interests” for purposes of the antimodification provision of § 1322(b)(2). The Bankr ich.1992) (finding antimodification provision of § 1322(b)(2) inapplicable because creditor’s interest in the principal residence of the debtor was a “lien,” rather than a “security interest,” based on the fact that it arose nonconsensually under state tax act); In re Venable, 48 B.R. 853, 856 (S.D.N.Y.1985) (); In re Mitchell, 39 B.R. 696, 700 ### Response: holding that citys tax hen on debtors principal residence was modifiable despite 1322b2 because not consensual and thus not a security interest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: authorization of an emergency procurement ... and ... this [was] a matter of public importance which could occur at any time....” Id. at 169, 666 S.E.2d at 240. However, in the present case, SCDOT has determined the inspection of private bridges is against its own policy. Thus, we find the matter will neither “affect future events [n]or have collateral consequences.” IV. Remaining Issues Finally, Appellants argue the circuit court erred in finding SCDOT was legitimately assisting a municipality and in failing to find SCDOT violated Article X, sections 5 and 11 of the South Carolina Constitution. Based on our resolution of the issues of standing and mootness, we need not reach this issue. See Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) ().

The result is not that clear-cut, however. As Schumann holds, Section 330 is not the “usual” sort of fee-shifting statute in that it contains no “prevailing party” provision. See Grant v. George Schumann Tire & Battery Co., 908 F.2d 874 (11th Cir.1990). While a debtor or creditor may prevail in one or more of the many disputes which arise in the course of a typical Chapter 11 reorganization, almost everyone loses something____ The language of § 330 does not authorize the court to award attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Rather the statute authorizes the court to award “reasonable compensation” for actual, necessary services rendered---- Id. at 882. See Port Royal Land & Timber Company v. Berkowitz, Lefkovits, Isom, Kushner, 924 F.2d 208 (11th Cir.1991) ().

Benson, 193 F.3d 936, 939 (8th Cir.1999) (stating a grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo), we conclude dismissal was proper because the record before the district court showed Baker did not complete the third step of Pottawattamie County Jail’s grievance procedure, see 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (declaring, “[n]o action shall be brought with respect to prison conditions ... by a prisoner confined in any jail, prison, or other correctional facility until such administrative remedies as are available are exhausted”); Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 90, 126 S.Ct. 2378, 165 L.Ed.2d 368 (2006) (explaining the proper exhaustion of remedies “means using all steps that the [prison] holds out, and doing so properly ”); Johnson v.

Significantly, plea counsel stated at the plea proceeding that Husband was originally “charged with everything,” but she “was able to get the solicitor who had the case at the time to dismiss all of his cases.” A review of the plea proceeding also reveals that plea counsel argued for leniency on behalf of Husband by comparing his more limited involvement in the crimes to that of Petitioner. We believe plea counsel’s approach essentially pitted Husband against Petitioner, which was clearly detrimental to Petitioner’s interests. In light of the foregoing, we find Petitioner established that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected her plea coun sel’s performance. See Thomas v. State, 346 S.C. 140, 143-45, 551 S.E.2d 254, 256 (2001) (); see also Staggs v.

Although the Court concluded that the Ordinance is content-discriminatory when it includes section 1.0, the Court already has determined to enjoin the enforcement of that provision. To avoid providing redundant or unnecessary relief, therefore, the Court will conduct its analysis of whether the statute constitutes an invalid prior restraint as if the Ordinance does not include section 1.0. So viewed, the Ordinance is content-neutral. When an ordinance is content-neutral, the law is clear that the absence of specific time limits is not enough to compel the conclusion that officials lack adequate standards to guide their decision making. See City of St. Petersburg, 348 F.3d at 1282 () (citing Thomas v. Chicago Park Dist., 534 U.S. ### Response: holding that a lack of time limits in a contentneutral ordinance does not equate to unbridled discretion absent evidence of a pattern of unlawful favoritism " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: consider a continuum of placements fails.

In view of this requirement, the Seventh Circuit has held that “[t]o meet the second, substantive criterion of Rowley, an IEP must respond to all significant facets of the student’s disability, both academic and behavioral.” Alex R., 375 F.3d at 613 ().

This domestic consumptive demand exception provided for in the latter half of the provision is crucial given the facts of this case.

In such instances, the statute expressly prohibits application of any of the provisions found within it. As a result, the regulations promulgated pursuant to the statute, which merely direct how Customs will implement the directives of the statute, can neither be invoked nor relied upon by plaintiffs in this case. Therefore, any injury relying on 19 C.F.R. § 12.24 cannot be redressed by this court where the consumptive demand exception applies. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555 (1992) ().

After all, the request came after Rugen learned that there was no outstanding warrant for Hornbecker and that Horn-becker’s license and registration were valid; it thus prolonged the detention beyond the point at which it might otherwise be expected to have concluded.

First, the prosecutor did not ask the jury to accept Laura’s credibility based on his endorsement alone; rather, he explained that “[t]he evidence shows that [Laura] was candid” (emphasis added), and he identified several specific instances where Laura made no attempt to conceal facts damaging to Autumn’s allegations (e.g., Autumn observing her parents engaged in sexual relations) or to her own reputation and credibility as a government witness (e.g., her drug and alcohol problems, her occupation as a nude dancer).

Whether the plaintiff should have known that, and when, is quite another matter. We find the reasoning in Gaidon I persuasive in this regard: “Consumers vary in their level of sophistication and their ability to perceive the connection between a fluctuation in dividend/interest rates and a vanishing date, or to make the necessary arithmetic adjustments. The issue before us is not whether, as a matter of law, reasonable consumers would be misled in a material way, but whether that prospect is enough to create a question of fact. . .

Further, Wilson does not challenge the District Court’s determination that the Terms and Conditions were not unconscionable — a determination that in no way hinged on whether the specific versión of the Terms and Conditions submitted by Kellogg in this litigation is the correct one, but merely assessed the procedural context in which Wilson signed the agreement. These two concessions are fatal to Wilson’s claims. They confirm that an express contract — the Terms and Conditions (regardless of which precise version Wilson signed) — governed Wilson’s relationship with Kellogg, and thus that, as the District Court held, Wilson’s only two claims — for breach of implied contract and unjust enrichment — are unsustainable.

Thus, we hold that the “negotiation type” of estoppel raised in Shea North, supra, is not applicable here. This, however, does not necessarily end our inquiry. The facts of this case lead us to question the wisdom of applying this clause in the circumstances presented here. At the outset, we note that the limitation for suit set by the clause establishes a significantly shorter time than the six-year period which ordinarily applies to actions on written contracts.

(Docket No. 1 at 16) As to those defendants whose supervisory liability is alleged only as a consequence of job title and a vague reference to “other” supervisory defendants in the listed causes of action, the plaintiffs’ pleadings have asserted nothing but legal conclusions, and are therefore insufficient to sustain the claims of supervisory liability.

At the parties’ request, the Court now addresses these issues, which have been fully briefed. As described above, the Court found that prejudgment interest was available against USPS because such an award is a normal incident to an award of damages for breach of contract.

Yet, he failed to consider whether such buyers actually existed. (Id.). Instead, he assumed they existed and engaged in a purely “theoretical exercise.” His conclusions, therefore, amount to no more than theoretical speculation. See, e.g., Estate of Godley v.

Therefore, under these circumstances, subsection 101.106(b) is inapplicable and does not operate to bar those claims. Furthermore, even if subsection 101.106(b) were applicable to the claims being asserted by Appellees, Mission Con-sol. does not support Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center’s attempt to use subsections 101.106(b) and 101.106(e) seri-atim to dismiss the entire suit.

Requiring police to honor a lawyer’s unsolicited request to be present during interrogation would in effect create an “undifferentiated right to the presence of an attorney that is triggered automatically by the initiation of the interrogation itself.” Burbine, 475 U.S. at 434 n. 4, 106 S.Ct. at 1147 n. 4.

However, if this were true, incriminating statements by individuals suspected of illegal activities would rarely be admissible. The record also demonstrates that the challenged statement given by Mr. Eastom at his house was not obtained as a result of interrogation. Mr. Eastom’s being “confronted with seized contraband” did not involve any questioning. Instead, it appears that this “confrontation” was the police explanation to him of why they were in his home and the possible presence of the seized items in his living room. This is alone insufficient to constitute interrogation. Therefore, Mr. Eastom’s statements were not rendered inadmissible by the Fifth Amendment. Cf. Orozco v. Texas, 394 U.S. 324, 326, 89 S.Ct. 1095, 22 L.Ed.2d 311 (1969) (). B.

Although immaterial to our disposition, this apparent discrepancy is perhaps due to the fact that GTI had discharged him in 1997. Mr. Daneshvar successfully challenged that discharge as retaliatory, which in turn lead to his reinstatement in GTI’s employ by court order filed in 1998. See Daneshvar v. Graphic Tech., Inc., 40 F.Supp.2d 1225 (D.Kan.1998). 2 . Mr. Daneshvar raises no error in the district court’s order granting summary judgment on his disparate workload claim and dismissing all his other claims, except his disparate wage and wrongful discharge claims, for failure to exhaust. Accordingly, we do not consider the court’s rulings on those issues. See State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. Mhoon, 31 F.3d 979, 984 n. 7 (10th Cir.1994) (). 3 .

We agree with the government that Cogswell did not object to the statement regarding his taking drugs to a party for someone else. The record shows that Cogswell’s objection made reference only to the statement regarding who lived at the apartment. Thus, his challenge to the former statement is subject to plain-error review. However, contrary to the government’s assertions, Cogswell timely objected to the statement regarding who lived in the apartment. Although he did not object to it immediately after the statement was made, we find that his objection, made at the end of the prosecution’s closing argument, was sufficiently timely to preserve the issue for appeal. See United States v. Mandelbaum, 803 F.2d 42, 44 n. 1 (1st Cir.1986) ().

In assessing the record to determine whether any such issues of material fact exist, the court is required to resolve all ambiguities and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the nonmoving party. See Chambers, 43 F.3d at 36 (citing Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 255, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986)) (other citations omitted). Where the non-movant either does not respond to the motion or fails to dispute the movant’s statement of material facts, the court may not rely solely on the moving party’s Rule 56. 1 statement; rather, the court must be satisfied that the citations to evidence in the record support the movant’s assertions. See Giannullo v. City of New York, 322 F.3d 139, 143 n. 5 (2d Cir.2003) ().

Carmichael, 685 F.2d 903, 910 (4th Cir.1982). In Carmichael, the two defendants were charged together with conspiracy to buy votes in a federal election and with obstruction of justice for separately urging witnesses before a federal grand jury to give false testimony. Id. at 905-06. The Fourth Circuit affirmed, holding that it was proper under Rule 8 to jointly try the defendants because the obstruction charges arose out of their efforts to conceal their vote buying conduct. Id. at 910. Other courts have specifically held that perjury may be part of the same series of acts or transaction “as the underlying conduct which was misrepresented.” United States v.

See National Union Fire Ins. Co., 939 S.W.2d at 141. Because the factual allegations contained within paragraph 5.4 indicate the plaintiffs may have a complaint within the coverage of the policy, we cannot say the underlying suit falls outside the scope of the policy. See id. SLIC also argues the plaintiffs’ underly- . ing petition does not include any allegations that fall within the scope of the terms “error” and “omission” as those terms are used in the policy. These terms, however, are not defined in the policy. We therefore give these terms their ordinary and generally accepted meaning. Sec. Mut. Cas. Co. v. Johnson, 584 S.W.2d 708, 704 (Tex.1979) ().

However, prior to making these purchases, Nextel did not inform them that it would be discontinuing analog service in the area in the immediate future, thereby rendering their equipment useless and obsolete. The plaintiffs also alleged that they were adequate class representatives. In Count I, H & J alleged a cause of action pursuant to the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practice Act, § 501.201, et seq., Fla. Stat.

D. The petitioner next argues that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct by failing to provide notice of the intent to introduce evidence of other acts as required by Michigan state law. Those other acts, the petitioner explains, consist of the victims’ testimony about uncharged acts of sexual abuse. The violation of the State’s notice requirement will not warrant relief from this Court. See, e.g., Lewis v. Jeffers, 497 U.S. 764, 780, 110 S.Ct. 3092, 111 L.Ed.2d 606 (1990) ().

In 1994 the text of Rhode Island Rule 11 read as follows: “Every pleading of a party represented by an attorney shall be personally signed by at least one (1) attorney of record * * *. The signature of an attorney constitutes a certificate by the attorney that he or she has read the pleading; that to the best of his or her knowledge, information, and belief there is good ground to support it; and that it is not interposed for delay.” Although an objection to a discovery request is not a pleading, it could be argued that Super. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(2) extended the reach of former Rule 11 to include the signing of objections to discovery requests. See Bergeson v. Dilworth, 132 F.R.D. 277, 287 (D.Kan.1990) ().

The court shall summarily hear and determine the issue of the making of the agreement or provision and, according to its determination, shall grant or deny the application. § 682.03(4), Fla. Stat.

For penalty notices, Customs’ regulations provide that where “fewer than 180 days remain from the date of the penalty notice before the statute of limitations may be asserted as a defense,” Customs may shorten the time period allowed for response to a penalty notice. 19 C.F.R. § 171.12(e). In no event, however, may a party be given less than seven days in which to respond to either a pre-penalty or penalty notice. 19 C.F.R. §§ 162.78(a), 171.12(e). Both sides agree that Customs was entitled to limit MSI to a shortened response period. Furthermore, the seven day response time has been approved by this Court in other cases. See United States v. Ziegler Bolt and Parts Co., 19 CIT 13, 21 (1995) ().

Mitigating factors brought out at trial might be emphasized, a coherent plea for mercy might be given, or new evidence in mitigation might be presented. But counsel may not treat the sentencing phase as nothing more than a mere postscript to the trial. While the Strickland threshold of professional competence is admittedly low, the defendant’s life hangs in the balance at a capital sentencing hearing. Indeed, in some cases, this may be the stage of the proceedings where counsel can do his or her client the most good. Kubat v. Thieret, 867 F.2d 351, 369 (7th Cir.1989) (emphasis added) ().

There has been no intrusion by way of trespass or nuisance onto appellant’s property, justifying the application of the continuing harm doctrine. Here, appellee’s actions of sending numerous e-mails did not delay the accrual of appellant’s MCPA action to a further date. Further, appellee did not have a continuous and ongoing duty or relationship with appellant, as in Litz, that would excuse appellant from having brought suit within three years from December 1, 2012. See id. at 649, 76 A.3d 1076. In addition, unlike Litz, it is clear on the face of the complaint that appellant’s MCPA claim was barred by the statute of limitations.

This cireumstance, among others, resulted in the determination that the consensual encounter did not escalate into a level two seizure. See id. Thus, in this case, Patrick's momentary use of Adams's identification for a warrants check does not compel the conclusion that a level two seizure occurred, especially because Patrick did not hold onto the identification any longer than was necessary.

Although the trial court correctly noted that there were precedents that indicate that a trial court can order a party to directly pay fees to an attorney, those precedents do not alter the fact that the payment is invariably for the benefit of the client or the client’s estate. See DePew v DePew, 373 Mich 162; 128 NW2d 533 (1964) (noting that the trial court had jurisdiction to order the husband to pay his wife’s attorney fees even after the parties’ reconciled and dismissed the complaint), and Stackhouse v Stackhouse, 193 Mich App 437, 439-445; 484 NW2d 723 (1992) ().

In addition, several factors indicate that Voyles did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy with regard to his work computer and the materials stored in it. For example, the computer was owned by the Arlington School District and located at the teacher’s desk in a classroom computer lab. Voyles clearly did not have a property or possessory interest in the school’s computer. Moreover, while it is unclear if Voyles’s computer files were protected by a password, the computer at issue was available for use by substitute teachers. Thus, Voyles lacked complete dominion or control over the unit. See Rogers v. State, 113 S.W.3d 452, 457 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2003, no pet.) ().

Placement on the 1998-99 Diversity Committee is the only contested committee assignment that is not time-barred. In contrast to her allegations about office location and signage, Plaintiff presents sufficient evidence to show that exclusion from committee assignments could constitute an adverse action.

But whether a judge or jury might later disagree with the employer’s good faith conclusion about falsity is not dispositive, because whether the employer discriminated unlawfully depends on the employer’s beliefs and motivation.

Accordingly, if the review available in the Courts of Appeals under the REAL ID Act is an adequate and effective substitute for the writ, the Act does not violate the Suspension Clause. Although this Court has not yet addressed the question, other Circuits, with which we now join, have determined that the provision of the REAL ID Act at issue here is not unconstitutional because “it provides, through review by a federal court of appeals, an adequate and effective remedy to test the legality of an alien’s detention.” Alexandre v.

Zuñiga also argues that his conviction must be reversed because the indictment failed to allege that the crimes had an adverse impact on commerce. That allegation is meritless. Count 1 of the indictment charged in the plainest of terms that the appellants conspired “to unlawfully interfere with interstate commerce by robbery.” That was enough to put the appellants on fair notice of the interstate commerce element of the crimes charged in counts 1 and 2. See Hamling v. United States, 418 U.S. 87, 117, 94 S.Ct. 2887, 41 L.Ed.2d 590 (1974) (); United States v.

Nonetheless, Hamilton zealously litigated Ms. Stone’s interests, but to no avail. The Alabama court determined that Hank Williams, Jr. was the sole heir of his father, and further held that appellant, as a natural child who had been adopted by another family, had no rights in any proceeds from the Williams, Sr.’s songs or their renewal rights. In reaching this conclusion, it relied on De Sylva v. Ballentine, 351 U.S. 570, 76 S.Ct. 974, 100 L.Ed. 1415 (1956) ().

Instead, Williams argues that the district court's ruling conditioning his ability to perform the demonstration on his willingness to be subjected to cross-examination violated his Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial. See Washington v. Texas, 388 U.S. 14, 19, 87 S.Ct. 1920, 18 L.Ed.2d 1019 (1967) ().

One commentator indicates that some courts do not give these exclusions effect: Certificates of insurance are often inconsistent with the related policy, and a prudent indemni-tee should assume exclusions in the policy exist that do not appear on the certificate.

The State points out that both judgments contain the following recital: “A jury having been waived the trial proceeded before the Court.” These recitals, however, do not state that the waivers were written and do not specify that appellant personally waived her right to a jury trial. The recitals may merely reflect counsel’s remark to the trial court, “We intended to try both cases before the Court, in the spirit of judicial economy.” Under these circumstances, we conclude that the recitals are insufficient to raise the presumption that there was a waiver meeting the requirements of article 1.13(a).

Thus, Charest’s burden is to show extraordinary circumstances that were both beyond his control and unavoidable even with his own exercise of diligence.

In addition, at no point in these proceedings has there been allegation that the actions of the arbitrator actually prejudiced defendants. See G.S. § 1-567.13(a)(2).

Averitt concludes from this limited indication of purpose that the statute was originally intended to cover only bonds issued under Title 6 of the U.S. Code, which has since been repealed. Averitt does not point, to any authoritative source, however, to support this theory or its contention that we should construe “any bond authorized by the law of the United States” to exclude injunction bonds. This Circuit has not yet had occasion to decide whether an injunction bond is the type of bond contemplated by Section 1352. At least two other circuits, however, have implicitly held that parties aggrieved by a wrongfully issued injunction may sue to recover on an injunction bond under Section 1352. See Buddy Systems, Inc. v. Exer-Genie, Inc., 545 F.2d 1164, 1166 (9th Cir.1976) (); Atomic Oil Co. v.

In essence, a defendant must have minimum contacts with the forum state, and a court’s exercise of jurisdiction must be reasonable. C. While the fact that Aboud’s contacts with Virginia were made on behalf of MBT complicates the traditional due process inquiry, her connection to the Commonwealth is sufficient to support the court’s exercise of jurisdiction. In the typical case, the contacts of a company are not attributed to a corporate agent for jurisdictional purposes. See Calder v. Jones, 465 U.S. 783, 790, 104 S.Ct. 1482, 79 L.Ed.2d 804 (1984) ().

Title 38, U.S.Code, does not define the word universally to cover all sections contained within the title, and section 5112 does not define it for purposes of that section. As illustrated by section 5111(d), which defines “award” for the purpose of that section only, the definition of “award” may refer to different types of awards, such as “an original or reopened award” or “an increased award.” 38 U.S.C. § 5111(d); see also, e.g., 38 U.S.C. § 1117(h)(2)(A) (specifying “the original award of compensation or service connection” (emphasis added)). Thus, the plain meaning of the term “award” in sections 5112(b)(9) and (10) is ambiguous and does not, standing alone, reveal congressional intent.

Plaintiffs’ arguments to the contrary notwithstanding, the district court properly focused its analysis on the Lollo factors and, after a bench trial, concluded, in light of those factors, that the high degree of intention — which goes beyond the mere presence of a personal liability clause in the signed agreement — was not met. We see no reason to reverse the district court. We note further that the New York Court of Appeals has observed that “where individual responsibility is demanded the nearly universal practice is that the officer signs twice — once as an officer and again as an individual.” Salzman, 10 N.Y.2d at 67, 217 N.Y.S.2d 55, 176 N.E.2d 74.

Exhaustion occurs when the petitioner has fairly presented his claim to the state courts by arguing both the federal legal principles and the salient and operative facts of the claim, thereby giving the state courts a “meaningful opportunity to pass upon the substance of the claims later presented in federal court.” Chambers v. McCaughtry, 264 F.3d 732, 737-38 (7th Cir.2001) (collecting cases) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Exhausting all state remedies includes presenting each claim on appeal to the Illinois appellate court and in a petition to the Illinois Supreme Court for discretionary review. See, e.g., O’Sullivan v. Boerckel, 526 U.S. 838, 845, 119 S.Ct. 1728, 144 L.Ed.2d 1 (1999); Hadley v. Holmes, 341 F.3d 661, 664 (7th Cir.2003) ().

Adjudications are not convictions. See Tex. Fam.Code Ann. § 51.13(a) (Vernon 1996) (providing that ""an order of adjudication or disposition in a proceeding under this title is not a conviction of crime”). Because this statute addresses convictions and not adjudications, it is certainly arguable that this statute does not apply to juvenile defendants. 30 . See Jimenez, 987 S.W.2d at 888-89 (). 31 .

Dep’t of Health & Human Servs., 371 Ark. 534, 268 S.W.3d 322 (2007) (per curiam). hRule 2(a)(2) provides that an appeal may be taken from “[a]n order which in effect determines the action and prevents a judgment from which an appeal might be taken, or discontinues the action.” Although the right to appeal the denial of a motion to intervene is not specifically set forth in this rule, this court has recognized that such an order is appealable pursuant to Rule 2(a)(2).

While Officer Crivel-lo’s hunch turned out to be true, the fact that the defendants were from a source state heading across the country for a bike trip on a known drug pipeline do not give rise to reasonable suspicion because too many people fit this description.

The district court 'also properly dismissed Read’s claims against Senior Assistant Attorney General Foote on the basis of prosecutorial immunity. Read failed to allege facts sufficient to show that Foote’s actions did not relate to Foote’s preparation for the initiation of a judicial proceeding, or the presentation of the state’s case. See Fry v. Melaragno, 939 F.2d 882, 837-38 (9th Cir. 1991) (). 4.

Without expert testimony on the usual value of stolen tickets, it would have been impossible to determine the specific value of the stolen goods. United States v. Luckey, 655 F.2d 203, 205 (9th Cir.1981). Evidence showing the potential value of the airlines tickets is particularly appropriate when filling out the tickets does not require any special expertise or equipment. Cf. Jalbert v.

Thus, as with writing or painting, the tattooing process is inextricably intertwined with the purely expressive product (the tattoo), and is itself entitled to full First Amendment protection. We are further persuaded by the fact that the process of tattooing is more akin to traditional modes of expression (like writing) than the process involved in producing a parade, which the Supreme Court has held cannot be meaningfully separated from the parade’s expressive product in terms of the constitutional protection afforded. See Hurley, 515 U.S. at 568, 115 S.Ct. 2338 ().

It must be remembered that Rule 23(b)(3)’s superiority requirement expressly compares class actions “to other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the controversy.” ... When the claims of the class members are small, denial of a class action would effectively exclude them from judicial redress. 1 Newberg § 4.27, at 4-107 to 4-109 (emphasis in original). The class action device may allow plaintiffs “to pool claims which would be uneconomical to litigate individually.” Phillips Petroleum Co., 472 U.S. at 809, 105 S.Ct. at 2973; see MacNeal v.

To invoke jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 3731, the relevant United States Attorney must certify that a federal appeal is taken because the evidence excluded is substantial proof of a material fact. The military justice system includes essentially the same requirement. See R.C.M. 908(b)(3). In addition, the Judge Advocate General’s representative must decide whether to file the appeal. R.C.M. 908(b)(6). Here, we must determine whether the appellee’s statements to SA KS, standing alone, are “substantial proof of ... faet[s] material in the proceeding.” Art. 62(a)(1)(B), UCMJ. We conclude that they are. Admissions of an accused represent a unique source of strong evidentiary weight. See United States v. Wuterich, 67 M.J. 63, 78 (C.A.A.F.2008) ().

VI The jury found that Rubsamen tortiously interfered with Joey Clark’s inheritance and awarded $3 million in damages to him. Rubsamen contends that there is no evidence of any tortious interference with Carolyn’s wills, nor any evidence of property that would have passed by will. Accordingly, she requests that the jury’s verdict be set aside. Rubsamen notes that the Texas Supreme Court has not recognized a cause of action for tortious interference with inheritance, but that Texas’s appellate courts do recognize it.

Thus, to construe the legislature’s silence in ORS 161.610 (2001) as somehow authorizing a challenge to the constitutionality of his 1983 sentence would be inconsistent with the legislature’s expressed intent that, in the absence of direct appeal, post-conviction relief is the exclusive remedy for challenging the validity of a constitutionally infirm sentence. Furthermore, the broader historical context of ORS 161.610 (2001) provides that, once final judgment in a criminal case is entered, its validity and regularity are presumed. Capos v. Clatsop County, 144 Or 510, 525, 25 P2d 903 (1933); see also State v. Young, 122 Or 257, 263-64, 257 P 806 (1927) ().

In the absence of such evidence we cannot conclude that the agency erred in finding that Wang failed to establish past persecution. Wang also argues that he established a well-founded fear of future persecution based on his statement that Chinese officials threatened him with “some charges.” Wang, however, failed to detail how the vague threat of “some charges” establishes that he reasonably fears persecution upon return to China. See Jian Xing Huang v. INS, 421 F.3d 125, 129 (2d Cir.2005) ().

Ervin, 158 Wn.2d at 752-53. Hall’s conviction was final, and he had almost completed his full sentence for felony murder before that finality was brought into question by the State’s motion. The State argues that double jeopardy protections should not bar retrial here because jeopardy did not terminate with Hall’s felony murder conviction. ¶9 The State first asserts that Hall’s reliance on cases of acquittal terminating jeopardy are inapplicable. It points out that the United States Supreme Court in United States v. Wilson, 420 U.S. 332, 95 S. Ct. 1013, 43 L. Ed. 2d 232 (1975), stated that the “first jeopardy continues until he is acquitted or his conviction becomes final.” Wilson, 420 U.S. at 343 n.11 ().

In my view, appellant was deprived of a liberty interest. When a claimant asserts that government action has wrongly deprived him of a liberty interest and the claim is fact intensive, a hearing to develop the factual basis of the claim is a necessary part of the review guaranteed by due process. Id. at 557-58, 94 S.Ct. 2963 (“This analysis as to liberty parallels the accepted due process analysis as to property.

The underlying rationale is that there are certain types of government activity which are incompatible with individual rights as set forth in the Constitution. Similarly, in some § 1983 claims, as here, the question is not whether a government official employed proper procedures in taking action which allegedly injured a person; rather, the question is whether the official’s action improperly (unconstitutionally) impinged on an individual’s right to personal autonomy to the extent that that autonomy is guaranteed by the Constitution.

C.P.L.R. §§ 204(a), 204(b), 207, 208), none of which apply to the instant case. Limitations periods are also subject to equitable tolling and equitable estoppel, both of which if satisfied can save a plaintiffs otherwise time-barred § 1983 claim, unless applying either doctrine would be inconsistent with the text or policies underlying 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Young v. United States, 535 U.S. 43, 122 S.Ct. 1036, 1040, 152 L.Ed.2d 79 (2002) (equitable tolling); Leon, 988 F.2d at 310 (equitable estoppel); see also Dillman v.

These doctrines, when applicable, usually ### Response: recognizing distinction between tolling and estoppel " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: this motion that no warning was given. The question before the Court is whether on this evidence, a finding of vessel negligence may be sustained. Since the 1972 amendment of Section 5(b) of the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, liability may no longer be premised on unseaworthy conditions but requires proof of negligence by the vessel. 33 U.S.C. § 905(b). In determining whether negligence has been established, the federal courts look to uniform land-based principles. See, e. g., Hurst v. Triad Shipping Co., 554 F.2d 1237 (3rd Cir. 1977). The courts have been vigilant in guarding against any expansion of vessel liability which might restore the situation the 1972 amendment was intended to cure. See, e. g., Wescott v. Impresas Armadoras, 564 F.2d 875 (9th Cir. 1977) ().

Park appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants. We affirm. 1. Plaintiffs state law claim for negligent investigation is preempted by § 301 of the Labor-Management Relations Act (“LMRA”), 29 U.S.C. § 185, because the duty to investigate comes from the collective bargaining agreement. Hawaii Administrative Rule § 12-60-2(b)(l)(B)(viii) does not create an independent, statutory standard of care. See Lee v. Corregedore, 83 Hawaii 154, 925 P.2d 324, 343 (1996) (stating that a statute must prohibit or proscribe conduct in order 0, 827 F.2d 589, 594 (9th Cir.1987) (per curiam) ().

Second, the Court notes that its ruling pertains only to the government’s case in chief. If the Defendant were himself to open the door in some way that would make the non-hearsay purpose for the proffered patient testimony relevant — such as presenting evidence or argument that Defendant’s patients chose to visit his practice for other reasons — the testimony may become admissible. Under these circumstances, the probative value of testimony that the patients in fact had other motivations would become significantly probative. See United States v. Johnson, 730 F.2d 683, 691 (11th Cir. 1984) ().

If a request by the defense is made, one option on remand may be for “the district court to determine whether to retry the defendant! ] or dismiss the indictment with prejudice as a sanction for the government’s misbehavior.” Id. at 1325. The remedy of dismissal with prejudice, which is strong medicine for the entire prosecutorial group, is available pursuant to a district court’s supervisory powers over the attorneys who practice before it. Id.; see also United States v. Chapman, 524 F.3d 1073, 1085 (9th Cir.2008) ().

The Due Process Clause forbids the state from itself depriving citizens of those rights, but it does not require the state to provide aid, even when it may be necessary. Id. at 195-96, 109 S.Ct. 998. (“The Clause is phrased as a limitation of the State’s power to act, not as a guarantee of certain minimal levels of safety and security.... Its purpose was to protect the people from the State, not to ensure that the state protected them from each other.”). Nevertheless, there are limited circumstances where the state has created a danger or has a special relationship with an individual, when it will be required to protect a person’s right to personal inviolability from private or public abuse. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 97 S.Ct. 285, 50 L.Ed.2d 251 (1976) (); Youngberg v.

United States v. Bostic, 371 F.3d 865, 872-73 (6th Cir.2004). Preservation of the Issue At sentencing, Defendant argued that calculation of his base offense level should not include the criminal acts alleged in Counts Three, Four, and Five of his indictment, on which the jury could not reach a verdict, because “a jury was not convinced that Mr. Williams” committed those crimes. (R. 128, PageID 510-11.) Defendant also argued that the district court should consider the disparity between Defendant’s possible sentence with and without the career offender enhancement when making its sentencing decision. The parties and the court discussed these objections at length, and the objections were therefore properly preserved for review. Cf. Bostic, 371 F.3d at 871 (). Defendant concedes, however, that although ### Response: holding preservation of objection at sentencing requires defendant to object with that reasonable degree of specificity which would have adequately apprised the trial court of the true basis for his objection internal quotation marks omitted " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: defendant on the disparate treatment claim in Count I. However, because of the temporal remoteness between the plaintiffs last request for an accommodation in October 2004 and her termination in October 2005, Count III will be dismissed. Compare Woodruff v. Peters, 482 F.3d 521, 529 (D.C.Cir.2007) (finding that “a reasonable finder of fact could infer causation” where “less than a month” elapsed between protected activity and adverse employment action), with Clark Cnty.

We think the legislature inserted the notice-and-opportunity-to-object language in section 904.702 to give the department of corrections authority to determine how a section 610A.l(l)(a) order for costs and attorney’s fees would be collected. Without such authority, the order might be unfair, or even confiscatory. As with the “reasonably able to pay” standard in criminal restitution, we think this authority is necessary to allow a section 610A.l(l)(a) order to pass constitutional muster. See State v. Love, 589 N.W.2d 49, 52 (Iowa 1998) ().

But in some cases, such defamation, which plainly is not competition on the merits, can give rise to antitrust liability, especially when it is combined with other anticompetitive acts. See LePage’s, 324 F.3d at 153, 162; Int’l Travel, 623 F.2d at 1268, 1270; Caribbean, 148 F.3d at 1087. 15 .

Here, no computer hard drives, disks or stored data were seized. See Gov’t Ex. 2, Attachment A, Bates Stamp Nos. 000024-27. As such, even if this portion of the warrant were severed, the evidence seized from the residence would clearly fall within valid portions of warrant, and suppression of the evidence seized in this case is not required. See Krasaway, 881 F.2d at 553 (). Nyberg’s particularity argument is rejected. ### Response: holding that defendants motion to suppress was properly denied because the actual items seized fell within the valid portions of the warrant " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: companies. Finally, Plaintiff concludes that if Commerce had applied adverse facts available against the Affiliated Companies, it would have issued an affirmative collapsing determination. Though this argument is appealing, its conclusion is dependent upon the validity of each of its parts. If one of the parts is faulty, the underlying conclusion cannot stand. For the reasons stated below, the Court finds the record is sufficient to support Commerce’s collapsing determination, thus rendering the first part of Plaintiffs argument faulty. Accordingly, this court finds that Plaintiffs conclusion cannot stand. Commerce has a long history of collapsing affiliated parties — a practice that has been affirmed by this Court. See AK Steel Corp. v. United States, 34 F.Supp.2d 756, 765 (CIT 1998) ().

The plaintiff, represented by appellants, Federman and Sherwood and Holzer and Holzer, brought a securities fraud class action against the defendants under sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1994 and under Rule 10b-5. The defendants moved to dismiss on the basis of, inter alia, a three-year statute of repose and a one-year statute of limitations. See Lampf, Pleva, Lipkind, Prupis & Petigrow v. Gilbertson, 501 U.S. 350, 364, 111 S.Ct. 2773, 115 L.Ed.2d 321 (1991) ().

PSD’s suspension policy was not a “rule” subject to HAPA’s rule-making requirements. Appellants argue that PSD improperly promulgated a “rule” in violation of HAPA, HRS §§ 91-1 et seq. (2012 Repl.), when it implemented its unwritten suspension policy in 2006. In general, “[a] state agency must conform to the requirements of HAPA when acting in a rule-making capacity.” Rose v. Oba, 68 Haw. 422, 425, 717 P.2d 1029, 1031 (1986). HRS § 91-1(4) Os and only applies to PSD’s internal promotion decisions. The suspension policy is, therefore, purely an “internal management” function that does not affect the “private rights of or procedures available to the public.” See Waugh v.

In the case sub judice, however, unlike in Linebaugh and Baker, the injury did not occur in the common area, but rather entirely within Morton’s apartment where Tevin was playing. Importantly, where injuries have resulted from a dog attack occurring on portions of the premises where the tenant, not the landlord, had exclusive control, several cases have indicated that a landlord may not be held liable. See, e.g., Goddard by Goddard v. Weaver, 558 N.E.2d 853, 854-55 (Ind.Ct.App.1990); Zwinge v. Love, 37 A.D.2d 874, 325 N.Y.S.2d 107, 109 (N.Y.App.Div.l971)(); Denagy v.

Martinez, which noted that the prosecutor’s comment about the defendant being “predisposed to commit these crimes” was “clearly improper.” 2001 UT App 90, ¶ 11 n. 2. ¶44 Bradley contends that his ease is “strikingly similar” to Martinez. We disagree. In Bradley’s case, the State did not explicitly express that the defendant was predisposed to commit sexual abuse. The State only noted that the testimony of J.B. “must” be considered. J.B.’s testimony was properly admitted evidence and the jury was actually instructed by the trial court to “weigh[ ] all the available evidence” to determine Bradley’s guilt on the charges. The State merely urged the jury to consider evidence already determined admissible in a pretrial hearing. Cf. State v. Saunders, 1999 UT 59, ¶ 25, 992 P.2d 951 ().

As noted, Hall sensibly agrees with the government that “summoned” in § 6322(a) must have the same meaning in both subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2). See Oral Arg. at 4:30; Br. Def.-Appellee United States, at 34-35. If the majority’s opinion is to be read— as I believe it must — that “summoned” in § 6322(a) invariably means having received any court-issued summons, then the majority’s opinion necessarily abrogates those administrative decisions that interpret “summoned” flexibly to accommodate the limitations of the court leave system. See, e.g., In re Entitlement of Emp.-Defendant to Court Leave, 62 Comp.Gen. 87, 1982 WL 26713 (1982) (); In re Pasake, 59 Comp.Gen. 290, 1980 WL 17976 ### Response: holding that court leave under 6322 is not available to a federal employee who is summoned to appear as a defendant in the court action concerned " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: every reason to believe that he had complied with the requirement to file with that agency within 300 days.” Id., 225 F.Supp.2d at 489. We further reasoned that “Plaintiff would know that he was protected from exceeding the 300-day statutory period as of the date he learned that a charge number had been assigned to his case.” Id., 225 F.Supp.2d at 490. In Zysk, then, we spoke of the docketing of the charge not as that which rendered the complaint effective, but rather as an indicator to the plaintiff that the charge had in fact been timely filed. Although the assigning of a charge number within the limitations period is a fairly good indicator that an effective charge has been received on time, but see Michelson v. Exxon Research and Eng. Co., 808 F.2d 1005, 1010-11 (3d Cir., 1987) () , it is not, and Zysk does not stand for the ### Response: holding that where the writings on file were insufficient to constitute an effective charge a charge had not been effectively filed despite the fact that the eeoc had assigned the case a charge number " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in practicing a patented process” is liable for contributory infringement if: (1) the component constitutes “a material part of the invention”; (2) the alleged infringer knows that the component is “especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement of [the] patent”; and (3) the component is “not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing use.” 35 U.S.C. § 271(c); see also i4i Ltd. P’ship v. Microsoft Corp., 598 F.3d 831, 850-851 (Fed.Cir.2010) (discussing the legal elements of a contributory infringement claim).

Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 242, 96 S.Ct. 2040, 48 L.Ed.2d 597 (1976). This framework has been applied in a number of cases in this and other circuits involving allegations of discriminatory police enforcement practices. See, e.g, United States v.

Thus, the classic cases involved, for example, repairs by a railroad company to existing tracks on which an accident had occurred. See Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway, 21 L.T.R. (n.s.) at 263. Over time, however, the subsequent repairs rule was not so closely limited, and “[a]t common law, the courts analyzed many different remedial actions under the rubric of ‘repairs.’” Leonard Packel and Anne Bowen Poulin, Pennsylvania Evidence § 407-1, at 242 (West 1999). Accordingly, courts began to describe the doctrine as the “subsequent remedial measures rule,” to reflect its broader application to, for example, post-accident warnings, safety precautions and changes in procedure.

Proceeding through the agency in this way provides the agency the opportunity to reconsider its policies, interpretations, and regulations in light of those challenges. Nor need it waste time, for the agency can waive many of the procedural steps set forth in § 405(g), see Salfi, supra, at 767, 95 S.Ct. 2457, and a court can deem them waived in certain circumstances, see Eldridge, 424 U.S., at 330-331, 96 S.Ct. 893, even though the agency technically holds no “hearing” on the claim.

Nigeria argues that the district court erred in considering both the errata sheet and the declaration.

Summary judgment procedures do not control. Rather, where a plaintiff alleges that his claim is based on a foreign state’s commercial acts, the defendant has the initial burden of establishing that it is a sovereign state. See Export Group v.

Gen. Stat. § 7B-1100(1) (2007). Article 11 is entirely silent on the amendment of petitions or motions in termination proceedings. The only right of amendment permitted in Chapter 7B proceedings is for the amendment of a petition in juvenile, abuse, neglect or dependency proceedings, and this right is limited to “when the amendment does not change the nature of the conditions upon which the petition is based.” N.C. Gen. Stat. § 7B-800 .(2007). Accordingly, we will not superimpose a right to amend a petition or motion for termination of parental rights to conform with the evidence presented at the adjudication hearing and the trial court erred by allowing the amendment.

As we pointed out earlier, when the chief legal counsel sustained the default, she essentially entered a finding of liability against Pinkerton for its failure to appear. We conclude that a determination of liability by default without a determination of damages does not meet the statutory definition of an administrative decision “which affects the legal rights, duties or privileges of parties and which terminates the proceedings before the administrative agency.” 735 ILCS 5/3 — 101 (West 1996); see also Skrypek v. Mazzocchi, 227 Ill. App. 3d 1, 7, 590 N.E.2d 990 (1992) (); Stotlar, 298 Ill.

But this does not mean that even a receivership for dissolution will cause the corporation to cease to be a going concern.

To the contrary, in determining whether there has been a show of authority, courts must examine all of the surrounding circumstances to determine whether a reasonable person would have felt free to decline the interaction with law enforcement. See Brendlin, 551 U.S. at 255, 127 S.Ct. 2400. In Mendenhall, Justice Stewart identified such factors as “the threatening presence of several officers, the display of a weapon by an officer, some physical touching of the person of the citizen, or the use of language or tone of voice indicating that compliance with the officer’s request might be compelled.” United States v. Mendenhall, 446 U.S. 544, 554, 100 S.Ct. 1870, 64 L.Ed.2d 497 (1980) (opinion of Stewart, J.). Here, three marke 3d Cir.2009) (). On this record, the officers’ approach ### Response: holding that there was no show of authority when two officers repeatedly asked an individual where is your girls house but where the two officers were still in their car neither officer displayed his weapon there was no physical touching and no indication as to the language or tone of the officers voice that might have signaled a clear show of authority " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2), see also Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 122 S.Ct. 992, 152 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002). A “complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless 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, 355 U.S. at 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99 (footnote omitted), see also Jaghory v. N.Y. State Dep’t of Educ., 131 F.3d 326, 329 (2d Cir.1997). “The issue is not whether a plaintiff will ultimately prevail but whether the claimant is entitled to offer evidence to support the claims. Indeed it may appear on the face of the pleadings that a recovery is very remote and unlikely but th ng an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is three years. Lounsbury v.

Under this reading of § 1146(c), it is unlikely that the debtor’s transfers in NVR Homes would have been eligible for § 1146(c) relief. More significantly, however, limiting eligible transfers to those “under a plan confirmed” limits such transfers to those over which the bankruptcy court has jurisdiction, i.e., those which concern the debtor and property of the debtor’s estate. Several courts, including the Fourth Circuit, have relied on this meaning of “under a plan confirmed” to exclude transfers between third parties over which the bankruptcy court may otherwise lack jurisdiction. See, e.g., Mensh v. Eastern Stainless Corp. (In Case of Eastmet Corp.), 907 F.2d 1487, 1489 (4th Cir.1990) (); In re Kerner Printing Co., Inc., 188 B.R. ### Response: holding that while nondebtor purchase money deed of trust can be described as part of the same transaction by which the buyer acquired debtors real property that does not elevate the deed of trust to status of something under a plan confirmed " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: together and cumulatively with other instances permitting an inference of discrimination, when viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiff, the evidence is sufficient to establish a prima facie case of a pattern or practice of discrimination in violation of the Fair Housing Act. In particular, the evidence supports an inference of a pattern or practice of discrimination in the “the terms, conditions, or privileges” of rental, or interference with exercise of rights of a tenant, through withholding repair and maintenance, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 3604(b) or § 3617. See 24 C.F.R. § 100.65 (prohibited actions under § 3604(b) include “[flailing or delaying maintenance or repairs ... because of race”); Bloch v. Frischholz, 587 F.3d 771, 780-782 (7th Cir.2009) (en banc) (); see also Radcliffe v.

Do not let [this man] die in [vain]. Id. at 83-84. Such language is inflammatory, particularly to the extent that it attributes improper motives to Appellants. Thus, we admonish counsel to refrain from needlessly inflaming the passions of the jury. See Young, 761 A.2d at 563 (noting that “an appeal to passion or prejudice is improper and will not be countenanced” and equating a verdict obtained by such arguments to “one obtained by false testimony”); see also Schmidt, 11 A.3d at 939 (); Phillips, 841 A.2d at 1007 (“Strict liability ### Response: recognizing a central premise that negligence concepts have no place in pennsylvanias strict liability law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: no evidence that S. Jacobson misled AHP or failed to divulge any information. A. Jacobson sanctioned the redirection of certain business directly to Olympus as part of the parties’ anticipated merger. S. Jacobson’s activities with Olympus after his resignation from AHP were similarly not breaches of his fiduciary duty or improper. AHP has not shown that he used any knowledge gained solely as a director to the detriment of AHP. AHP’s “Eighth Claim for Relief,” (Doc. No. 5-1 at 13), is DISMISSED. 9. Olympus, S. Jacobson, and Davis’s Civil Conspiracy Olympus argues that AHP’s civil conspiracy claim relates only to fraud. If true, AHP’s conspiracy claim would be dismissed based on the Court’s dismissal of AHP’s fraud claim. See Strickland v. Hedrick, 194 N.C.App. 1,19, 669 S.E.2d 61 (2008) (). AHP argues that its conspiracy claim could ### Response: holding that where summary judgment is granted on the underlying tort claims a conspiracy claim must also fail " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: provides evidence of diminished market value. Even taking into account “East Texas vernacular,” as the court of appeals did, William Justiss’s testimony is speculative. He never stated his familiarity with market values, and his passing reference to “what the price of land is bringing” is not enough. His testimony provides only his guess as to his property’s diminu- • tion in value, and such speculation will not support a judg cussed a 2001 sale of nearby property, that reflects only their property’s value after the nuisance, not how much the value had changed — á necessary element of permanent nuisance damages. We conclude that the landowners’ bare conclusions provide no evidence of the damage caused by the nuisance. See City of San Antonio v. Pollock, 284 S.W.3d 809, 816 (Tex.2009) ().

In this case, the threshold question in determining whether the Debtors qualify for Chapter 12 relief is whether they are “engaged in a farming operation.” 11 U.S.C. § 101(18). For the purposes of 11 U.S.C. § 101(21), “[ajlthough certain modes of farming are specified, the definition of ‘farming operation’ is not limited to those operations specifically enumerated.” In re Borg, 4 Mont.B.R. 178, 180 (Bankr.Mont.1987). The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has also held the examples of farming operations listed under § 101(21) “are not exclusive ... of other activities that might constitute ‘farming operations.’” Federal Land Bank of Columbia v. McNeal (In re McNeal), 848 F.2d 170 (11th Cir.1988) (); In re Dakota Lay’d Eggs, 57 B.R. 648, 653 ### Response: holding that a chicken coop cleaning and fertilizer business did not constitute a farming operation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: herself, the collections officer, and the F urisdiction to transfer, “if it is in the interests of justice.” 28 U.S.C. § 1631. In this case, however, the “interests of justice” do not require transfer, because Plaintiffs challenged the assessments for 1997 and 1998 in United States Tax Court, and that court found Plaintiffs liable. Montagne, T.C. Memo. 2004-252. Further, Plaintiffs had an opportunity to challenge the collection actions for 1996, 1998, and 1999 in Tax Court and did so. Montagne v. Comm’r, Docket No. 19709-02L (Sept. 26, 2003). Therefore, the doctrine of res judicata precludes Plaintiffs from now challenging those final judgments in a United States District Court. Parklane Hosiery Co., Inc. v. Shore, 439 U.S. 322, 326 n. 5, 99 S.Ct. 645, 58 L.Ed.2d 552 (1979) ().

We have not had occasion to discuss what is required to prove an economic interest, and thus prejudice, in a case such as this, where a prospective bidder/offeror is challenging a solicitation in the pre-award context. In such a case, it is difficult for a prospective bidder/offeror to make the showing of prejudice that we have required in post-award bid protest cases. See, e.g., Statistica, 102 F.3d at 1582 (). The reason of course is that, in a case such ### Response: holding that a contractor lacked standing because it failed to show a substantial chance it would have received the contract award but for agency error " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: process grounds where, as here, the order becomes an element of a criminal offense.

To do so successfully, he must satisfy each of the three requirements of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(d), which provides that: [A]n alien may not challenge the validity of [a] deportation order ... unless the alien demonstrates that — (1) the alien exhausted any administrative remedies that may have been available to seek relief against the order; (2) the deportation proceedings at which the order was issued improperly deprived the alien of the opportunity for judicial review; and (3) the entry of the order was fundamentally unfair. 8 U.S.C. § 1326(d) (2000); see also Mendoza-Lopez, 481 U.S. at 839 & n. 17, 107 S.Ct. 2148 ().

The defendant relies on State v. Baldwin, 867 S.W.2d 358 (Tenn.Crim.App.1993). In Baldwin, the intermediate appellate court held that the “procuring agent” doctrine was viable as a defense when a defendant is charged with the sale of drugs. Baldwin, however, is distinguishable from the present case as the offense in Baldwin predated the Tennessee Criminal Reform Act of 1989. With the passage of the Criminal Reform Act of 1989, the legislature made procuring or delivering a controlled substance the same crime as selling a controlled substance. Tenn.Code Ann. § 39-17-417; see generally Carter v. State, 958 S.W.2d 620 (Tenn.1997); Schad v. Arizona, 501 U.S. 624, 111 S.Ct. 2491, 115 L.Ed.2d 555 (1991) ().

Atwood contends that regardless of his trial counsels’ failure to request his presence, the trial judge had an obligation to invite him to, and secure his presence at, the meeting in which the jury was informed of the threatening phone call. The law is clear in that a defendant’s right to be present at all phases of the trial is not absolute, and can be waived. See, e.g. Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337, 343, 90 S.Ct. 1057, 25 L.Ed.2d 353 (1970) (recognizing a trial judge’s discretion to remove “disruptive, contumacious, stubbornly defiant defendants”); See Diaz v.

It should be noted that Machinists does not necessarily render a state law invalid merely because it might have some effect on labor-management relations. In Garmon, the Court recognized that states may enact statutes having only a peripheral impact on matters governed by federal labor law if they address concerns “deeply rooted in local feeling and responsibility.” Garmon, 359 U.S. at 254, 79 S.Ct. at 785. However, this exception is a narrow one and is limited to legislation directly aimed at topics of vital local concern such as health or welfare benefits and the prevention of violence or tortious acts. See, e.g., Belknap, Inc. v. Hale, 463 U.S. 491, 500, 103 S.Ct. 3172, 3177-78, 77 L.Ed.2d 798 (1983) (); New York Telephone Co. v.

Although Carpenter voluntarily participated in the controversy over the show's cancellation, the limited and discrete nature of her participation did not warrant the degree of exposure she received. Application of defamation standards to the IIED claims of private figures exposes to retaliation any private individual exercising her own free speech rights to complain about media program content.

Implicit in the Negligence Complaint, therefore, must be an allegation that the lead paint somehow separated from the wall or ceiling, and entered the air, or fell on the floor, furniture or fixtures in the apartment. One possibility is that lead dust flaked off the walls and was inhaled by Ashley Allman. Another is that the lead paint chipped, and that Ashley Allman ingested those chips. Although flaking, peeling, chipping, crumbling and falling are not among the listed methods of disseminating pollution, it is arguable, and several courts have found, that the presence of lead dust or chips in an apartment qualifies as “discharge,” “dispersal,” or even more generally, as “release.” See, e.g., Oates by Oates v.

But, as we have noted, Ms. Escobedo has not alleged that it was a vehicle to effect any discriminatory animus harbored by the nurses, let alone provide evidence of such intent or effect; to the contrary, Ms. Escobedo testified that she got along well with the nurses and they supported her in disputes with her supervisors. This evidence before us thus simply does not permit an inference of “overt” discrimination as required by our precedent' and we cannot say that the combination of the two incidents could reasonably be found to have created a hostile atmosphere.

WQIS argues that the parties could not have intended its obligation to indemnify defense costs under Coverage C to continue after the Coverage A limit was exhausted. Such an interpretation of the parties’ intent could result in WQIS’s paying for defense costs far in excess of the $5 million limit on liability, and it would require WQIS to have responsibility for reimbursing defense costs even when it no longer had an interest in defending or minimizing liability for the incident. A reasonable person could conclude that this could not have been what the parties intended. Mastrovincenzo v. City of New York, 435 F.3d 78, 104 (2d Cir. 2006) (). Third, to the extent extrinsic evidence is ### Response: holding that contracts should be interpreted to avoid absurd results " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a security interest in real property that is the [Debtors’] principal residence.” Compare [Claim No. 11-1] with § 1322(b)(2). All parties concede this fact. Thus, the question is whether § 1322(c)(2) allows the parties to sidestep the anti-modification provision of § 1322(b)(2) and lower the Mortgage’s interest rate. Section 1322(c)(2) grants debtors the ability to modify a home mortgage in situations where “the last payment on the original payment schedule ... is due before the date on which the final payment under the plan is due.” This Court finds that the phrase “the last payment on the original payment schedule” is unambiguous and thereby follows Congress’s will — namely, prohibiting modification of mortgages in bankruptcy plans. See In re Bartee, 212 F.3d 277, 295 (5th Cir. 2000) (); In re Perry, 235 B.R. 603, 608 (S.D.

Moreover,"" even if counsel’s performance was deficient, Garcia cannot show prejudice. His assertion that counsel’s error rendered the plea unknowing and involuntary is undercut by his statement in advance of plea, in which he acknowledged that he faced a sentence of ten years to life in prison. See United States v. Silva, 430 F.3d 1096, 1100 (10th Cir.2005) ().

Id. Because the condemnor never tried to abandon its efforts to gain ownership of the 2,241 acres it originally sought to condemn, we find Zucht to be a different case than the one before us. The State further argues that, assuming its condemnation petition against Parcel C was dismissed, the trial court nevertheless had nothing to sever into a cause of action relating solely to Parcel C. The trial court, however, did have something to sever, namely, the Tammingas’ statutory right to compensation for their expenses in defending themselves against the State’s efforts to condemn Parcel C. See General Land Office v. OXY U.S.A, Inc., 789 S.W.2d 569, 570 (Tex.1990) ().

Id. The court held that the prosecutor improperly appealed to the jurors’ emotions by arguing that people “just like” the defendants (Jamaican e) are present, courts have found prejudice. See Rodriguez Cortes, 949 F.2d 532. When they are absent, however, courts have often found no prejudice. See United States v. Hernandez, 865 F.2d 925, 927-28 (7th Cir.1989) (reference to “Cuban drug dealers” was prosecutor’s only reference to Cubans and, within context of the entire trial, it was not “so inflammatory as to prejudice the defendant.”).

Boyd’s allegation, in Claim XIII, paragraphs 117-120, of his petition, that the manner of execution used by the State of Alabama is unconstitutional. 4. “Cumulative Effect” of Alleged Trial Errors In Issue VIII of his appellate brief, Boyd also argues that the cumulative effect of the alleged trial errors raised in his petition and listed above resulted in a denial of his right to due process. This specific claim was not presented to the circuit court in Boyd’s Rule 32 petition and is raised for the first time on appeal. Ac cordingly, it is not properly before us for review. See, e.g., Arrington v. State, 716 So.2d 237, 239 (Ala.Crim.App.1997)(). See also, e.g., McGahee v.

In both situations, the threshold requirement of having been designated by the participant (or by the terms of the plan) would be satisfied. In this case it was not. Because Mrs. Park died without applying for pension benefits, Mr. Park (who, as her spouse, is the beneficiary designated by the terms of the plan), is the only person eligible to receive her pension benefits.

Conclusion For the abovementioned set forth above, the Court DENIES Defendant’s motion in its entirety. (Dkt. No. 291). AND IT IS SO ORDERED. 1 . Although the Court has reviewed the voluminous social science and legal academic literature Defendant submitted relating to juror’s purported inability to follow a court's instructions and other aspects of the death penalty, the Court declines to apply such literature to its analysis in the face of controlling Supreme Court pre , 450 (E.D.

During jury selection, Johnson made a motion objecting to the prosecutor’s use of peremptory challenges to remove two male jurors. Johnson’s motion was made pursuant to People v. Wheeler, 22 Cal.3d 258, 148 Cal.Rptr. 890, 583 P.2d 748 (Ca.1978), the California state case procedurally analogous to Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986). The trial court rejected the Wheeler motion. The state court of appeal affirmed, and the Supreme Court of California denied a petition for review. In April 2003, Johnson filed his § 2254 petition for habeas corpus in federal court, again arguing that the prosecutor’s use of peremptory challenges violated the Equal Protection Clause. See Batson, 476 U.S. at 84, 106 S.Ct. 1712 (); J.E.B. v.

Furthermore, cases plaintiff cites which forgive or deem satisfied exhaustion of administrative remedies when exhaustion is futile, are distinguishable. They address decision making outside Customs’ § 1514 jurisdiction and/or discretionary exhaus tion principles. These cases do not stand for the proposition that applicable statutorily-mandated exhaustion requirements, such as those found in 19 U.S.C. § 1514(a), may be deemed futile.

Prior to the passage of the Securities Reform Act, the Second Circuit had the strongest pleading requirements for scien-ter amongst the circuits. Following the Act’s passage, the Second Circuit has repeatedly interpreted the Act’s heightened pleading requirements as echoing the standards previously adopted by the Second Circuit for pleading scienter in securities fraud cases. See Kalnit v. Eichler, 264 F.3d 131, 137 (2d Cir.2001); see also Novak v. Kasaks, 216 F.3d 300, 310 (2d Cir.)

The date on which a violation ends is simply not a necessary element of proving a violation. Maxxon and Mabie also argue that, without a jury finding as to the end-date of the violation, the district court could not properly calculate disgorgement. Disgorgement being remedial rather than punitive, see S.E.C. v. Cavanagh, 445 F.3d 105, 116 & n. 25 (2d Cir.2006), some end-date determination is certainly necessary so that the defendant is not required to disgorge profits not “causally connected to the violation.” Arnold S.

On September 22, 2005, an affidavit of violation of probation was filed and the appellant’s probation was revoked on October 24, 2005, resulting in a prison sentence. When imposing a sentence for a violation of probation, a court must provide credit for time previously served on probation when necessary to ensure that the total time served does not exceed the statutory maximum for the offense at issue.

We consider the record as a whole, weighing both the evidence that supports and the evidence that detracts from the Secretary's decision. See Mayes v.

Furthermore, Scherr’s discussion of her cousin’s then-upcoming wedding is sufficient to support a plausible inference that Scherr would have liked to return to the hotel but for its continued use of the spring hinges. Given Scherr’s past travel history and her affirmative de sire to stay at the hotel but for the alleged violations, on these facts, Scherr has standing to sue the Overland Park Courtyard Marriott. See D’Lil v. Best W. Enci-na Lodge & Suites, 538 F.3d 1031, 1037 (9th Cir.2008) ().

Rather, his entire motion rested on the argument that Cemex failed to meet the federal jurisdictional amount in controversy requirement. (See Docs. 7 & 8.) A party cannot claim that just because it moved to remand a case it may later argue every possible reason for doing so. See Denman v. Snapper Div., 131 F.3d 546, 548 (5th Cir.1998) ().

In this case, Schering introduced its five surveys, which polled a total of approximately 1166 physicians, to establish statistical facts about what Zyrtec representatives were saying to a much larger group of almost 250,000 physicians nationwide. These facts were relevant to establish the type of irreparable injury necessary for a preliminary injunction. See, e.g., Indianapolis Colts, 34 F.3d at 416; Reuters Ltd. v. United Press Int’l, Inc., 903 F.2d 904, 907-09 (2d Cir.1990). The reliability of this statistical inference was therefore critical to Schering’s case. As the district court noted, it would, moreover, be unreasonable to hale all 1166 physicians into court to establish this kind of inference. Schering, 1999 WL 144921, at *5 ().

Petitions requesting appellate review of a BIA decision “must be filed not later than 30 days after the date of the final order of removal.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1). The statutory time limit is “both mandatory and jurisdictional.” Prekaj v. INS, 384 F.3d 265, 267 (6th Cir. 2004) (quoting Martinez-Serrano v. INS, 94 F.3d 1256,1258 (9th Cir.1996)). Sunarto failed to seek review of the BIA’s October 30, 2007 decision within thirty days of the issuance of that decision. Moreover, Sunarto’s filing of a motion did not toll the time period for seeking appellate review of that decision. See, e.g., Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 389-90, 115 S.Ct. 1537,131 L.Ed.2d 465 (1995) ().

Arapahoe County Bd. of Comm'rs, 815 P.2d 966, 968-69 (Colo.App.1991) In such administrative appeals, the BAA is not limited to a review of any previous action taken, but instead is authorized to conduct de novo evidentiary proceedings on the merits of the abatement and refund claims. See D.C. Burns Realty & Trust v. Jefferson County Bd. of County Comm'rs, 849 P.2d 900, 903 (Colo.App.1992). Nevertheless, even when the BAA has subject matter jurisdiction to hear such appeals, the substantive limitations on abatement and refund elaims found in other statutory provisions remain applicable.

Factually, we agree with Crockett that the record shows that the trial judge had the telephone number for the defense counsel, the sheriff successfully contacted defense counsel by telephone for the previous jury notes, and defense counsel asserted that they remained available by telephone during the time period of the third question. Crockett argues that this demonstrates “there were means and opportunity to tell defense counsel about the third note.... However, they were not told.” The Illinois Appellate Court’s findings of fact did not contradict Crockett’s version of the facts — the court never claimed that defense counsel were unavailable or had Y.S.2d 887 (N.Y.App.Div.1985) (); People v.

Therefore, the statutory elements of DUI are completely subsumed within the crimes of both homicide by motor vehicle while DUI and aggravated assault by vehicle while DUI. As such, for sentencing purposes, Appellant’s DUI conviction merged with both her homicide by motor vehicle while DUI and aggravated assault by vehicle while DUI convictions. See also Commonwealth v. Schmohl, 975 A.2d 1144, 1150 (Pa.Super.2009) ().

June Fujinaga’s testimony was necessary to determine whether June had a legitimate claim to the funds at issue. June Fujinaga was the only person in possession of the information regarding the legitimacy of June’s claim to the funds; however, she refused to testify regarding that issue; depriving the SEC of its opportunity to obtain evidence on that question. Additionally, there was independent evidence of June’s receipt of illicit funds. The district court thus did not abuse its discretion in drawing an adverse inference from June Fujinaga’s assertion of her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. See SEC v.

Plaintiffs assert that because the Court found the first part of the agency’s order to be invalid, the Court must declare the entire order invalid: according to plaintiffs, the Court “is not permitted to deconstruct a challenged agency action and uphold only those portions of the agency’s actions which the Court finds to be lawful.” Pis.’ Opp. & Cross-Mot. at 8-9, citing Comcast Corp. v. FCC, 579 F.3d 1, 10 (D.C.Cir.2009) (Randolph, J., concurring). But the APA specifically provides that a reviewing court may hold unlawful an “agency action,” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A), and the definition of agency action “includes the whole or a part of” an agency order. 5 U.S.C. § 551(13) (emphasis added); see also Catholic Soc.

This ease is set for trial November 8th, next week. Idaho Criminal Rule 12 gives a district court discretion to shorten or enlarge the time for bringing a hearing on pretrial motions or to excuse a party’s noncompliance with deadlines for bringing a hearing. In this case, however, the district court, in effect, refused to hear Ruperd’s motion to suppress at a later time as a sanction for his failure to appear. Nothing in I.C.R. 12 gives the district court the discretion to treat a defendant’s failure to appear as a waiver of his or her right to have a hearing on a timely motion. While Idaho appellate authority is silent on this particular issue, authority exists from other jurisdictions that have addressed it. See, e.g., People v. Martinez, 166 P.3d 223, 224 (Colo.Ct.App.2007) (); Robinson v.

Following this direction, we hold that because a judgment concluding Johnson’s § 2255 proceeding has not been set forth on a separate document, an effective judgment has not yet been entered in his case. . iv Our conclusion that a qualifying Rule 58 judgment has not yet been entered means that Johnson’s time to appeal from the denial of his § ■ 2255 motion has not yet begun to run, much less run out. For that reason, not only was Johnson’s FRAP 4(a)(6) motion to reopen the time for appeal not untimely, it was not necessary. See Pack v. Burns Int’l Sec. Serv., 130 F.3d 1071, 1072 (D.C.Cir.1997) ().

Neither party addresses that issue of contract interpretation directly, but defendant necessarily assumes that pay “in lieu of notice” may satisfy a requirement of “notice.” This assumption is reasonably implicit in defendant’s argument because, without it, defendant’s request for summary judgment based on pay in lieu of notice makes no sense. And there is authority to support defendant’s implicit assumption. Farias v.

See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1) (stating that “[a] motion to reopen proceedings ... shall be supported by affidavits or other evidentiary material”). The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in finding that Zhisong was not prejudiced by the IJ’s failure to address his argument that he had adjusted his status to that of a lawful permanent resident.

See Rendell-Baker v. Kohn, 457 U. S. 830, 842 (1982). It is also obvious that the TSSAA is not an entity created and controlled by the government for the purpose of fulfilling a government objective, as was Amtrak in Lebron v.

State, 603 So.2d 86, 88 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992) (a modified Allen charge takes on increased significance when there is a “lack of overwhelming or clear evidence of guilt”). We agree with defense that the charge given in this case was deficient in several respects which together constitute fundamental error requiring a reversal. First, the instruction gave the jury an initial time limit of thirty minutes. See Gahley v. State, 567 So.2d 456, 459 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990) ().

Nevertheless, we conclude the Ex Post Facto Clause did not apply to appellant’s cases. To fall within the ex post facto prohibition, a criminal law must contain two critical elements: first, the law must be retrospective; and second, it must disadvantage the offender affected by it. Miller v. Florida, 482 U.S. 423, 430, 107 S.Ct. 2446, 96 L.Ed.2d 351 (1987). A law is retrospective if it changes “the legal consequences of acts completed before its effective date.” Id. The completed “acts” in a probation revocation case are those that make up the underlying offense. See Johnson v. United States, 529 U.S. 694, 700, 120 S.Ct. 1795, 146 L.Ed.2d 727 (2000); see also Gagnon v. Scarpelli, 411 U.S. 778, 782, 93 S.Ct. 1756, 36 L.Ed.2d 656 (1973) ().

The only other protected activity evidenced in the record is Nicholson’s March 27, 2009 EEOC charge. After he filed this charge, Nicholson asserts that Clarksville engaged in adverse employment activities by declining to promote him in May and October of 2009, by ch on’s protected activity on March 27, 2009, and the denial of promotion in May 2009, may be sufficient to show a.causal connection.

The next contour of the right involves the “special relationship” and parallel between involuntary dependence on state-licensed foster care and other similar situations. As discussed supra, the First Circuit has not had occasion to address this specific question. This Court relies on the numerous cases from other Circuits, combined with First Circuit principles from Germany, 868 F.2d at 15 and Monahan, 961 F.2d at 991-92, to hold that in 1996, an objectively reasonable DCYF official should have understood the existence of a special relationship between DCYF and minor children once the state takes legal custody and places them in a foster home. See Estate of Gilmore v. Buckley, 787 F.2d 714, 720-21 (1st Cir.1986) ().

Whether those § 841 sentences actually became illegal at that moment may be too metaphysical a question to answer. But given the interdependency, the appellants could not — at the moment of launching their challenges — have entertained any reasonable expectation in the finality of their § 841 sentences. Rhodes, 106 F.3d at 432 n. 3. It makes no difference that these defendants challenged their § 924(e) sentences under § 2255, while in Rhodes the challenge occurred on direct appeal. In both the defendant “voluntarily” brought the challenge, id., and that controls. Cf. North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 721, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 2078-79, 23 L.Ed.2d 656 (1969) ().

The defendant URI has long been held amenable to suit. See University of Rhode Island v. A.W. Chesterton Co., 2 F.3d 1200 (1st Cir.1993) and Vanlaarhoven v. Newman, 564 F.Supp. 145 (D.R.I.1983) (both holding that URI is not an alter ego of the state, and thus it cannot invoke the defense of sovereign immunity). Moreover, even assuming arguendo that the commission would qualify as an arm or an alter ego of the state, it could not avoid a claim seeking to vindicate a protected property interest in statutory employment benefits by invoking the doctrine of sovereign immunity. See, e.g., R.I. Const. art. 1, sec. 16; see also Pellegrino v. The Rhode Island Ethics Commission, 788 A.2d 1119 (R.I.202) (). 15 .

Accordingly, the Court recommends that the Downstream Purchasers are entitled to summary judgment as buyers in the ordinary course. C. Tort and Equitable Claims The Producers have alleged a number of common law claims in addition to their statutory lien claims. Specifically, the Producers allege claims based in conversion, tortious interference, unjust enrichment, money-had-and-received, fraud, and accounting and disgorgement. The Court finds, and the Producers acknowledge, that most of the tort and equitable claims are dependent on the lien analysis. See In re Black Diamond Mining Co., at *28 ().

However, the court then went on to opine that it did “not construe [the] response as a formal suggestion of death as contemplated by ... rule [1.260].” 600 So.2d at 1101 n.4. While not the holding of the case, such language strongly implies that a passing reference to a party’s death in a document that was not filed for the purpose of notifying the litigants of the death is not sufficient to start the ninety-day time period set forth in rule 1.260(a)(1). Federal courts hold similarly. See, e.g., Grandbouche v. Lovell, 913 F.2d 835, 836-37 (10th Cir. 1990) (); United States v. Miller Bros. Constr. Co., ### Response: holding that the ninetyday time period under the federal rule is not triggered unless a formal suggestion of death is made on the record regardless of whether the parties have knowledge of a partys death and that mere reference to a partys death in court proceedings or pleadings is not sufficient to trigger the limitations period for filing a motion for substitution " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: quotation marks omitted); see Glinka v. Murad (In re Housecraft Indus.

Critically, however, it “also provid[es] bankruptcy courts with significant authority both to manage the litigation and check any potential for abuse by the parties.” Id. As our sister circuits that permit derivative standing have recognized, the bankruptcy court plays a vital gatekeeper role in determining whether derivative standing is appropriate in a given case.

The Defendant contends that pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(C) the Taxes should be excepted from the discharge as the Plaintiffs either filed a fraudulent return or willfully attempted to evade or defeat the Taxes. Section 523(a)(1)(C) of Title 11 provides “(a) A discharge under section 727 ... of this title does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt — (1) for a tax or a customs duty — (C) with respect to which the debtor made a fraudulent return or willfully attempted in any manner to evade or defeat such tax....” 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(1)(C). The Defendant must demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the Plaintiff willfully attempted to evade or defeat a tax. Grogan v.

That statutory understanding expresses a clear mandate of public policy that serves to protect public officials holding legislative office in the exercise of official duties relating to legislative matters. We conclude further that because the clear mandate of public policy derived from these statutes to protect public employees is the basis for a civil action for wrongful discharge, rather than a criminal charge, in analyzing the wrongful discharge claim, that public policy is broader in scope and application than the statutes themselves. Consequently 4, 898-900 (3d Cir.1983) ().

Zarlengo, 44 P.3d 1072, 1078 n. 6 (Colo.2002). These principles teach that words or provisions should not be added to a rule, see People v. Cross, 127 P.3d 71, 73 (Colo.2006), and that the inclusion of certain terms in a rule implies the exclusion of others, see Zab, Inc. v. Berenergy Corp., 136 P.3d 252, 261 (Colo.2006) (Eid, J., concurring). Applying these principles, we hold that costs and fees cannot be assessed when the court imposes punitive sanctions against a contemnor, because C.R.C.P. 107(d)(1) does not expressly authorize their assessment. We find the rule’s silence dispositive in light of the language in C.R.C.P. 107(d)(2) permitting the assessment of costs and fees when a remedial sanction is imposed.

Ronwin v. Shapiro, 657 F.2d 1071, 1073 (9th Cir.1981). The weight of authority from other circuits supports this similarity. Maryland Stadium Authority v.

Here, no specific language in the 1994 amendments supports defendants’ position that these enactments retroactively stripped Wilkinson of his full-status employment. In the absence of such language, or indeed any evidence to the contrary, this Court will apply the general rule that “statutes operate prospectively from and after the effective date of the statute.

There is no evidence that she engaged in any protected activity. In fact, Hoosier admits she did not complain to anyone about discrimination.

Accordingly, Greenwood is entitled to judgment as a matter of law with respect to Hoosier’s retaliation claims. IV. CONCLUSION For the reasons set (7th Cir.2009) (“An isolated or ‘stray remark’ is typically insufficient to create an inference of discrimination.... ”); Kir-ley v. Bd. of Ed. of Maine Township High School, 2013 WL 6730885, *8 (N.D.Ill.Dec. 13, 2013) (); Hogg v.

With these principles in mind, we have carefully reviewed Mr. Geronimo’s brief, the record of these proceedings, and the district court’s order. First, the district court correctly recognized that the Supreme Court’s decision in Blakely is not properly applied to decisions on collateral review. See United States v. Price, 400 F.3d 844, 849 (10th Cir.2005) (“Blakely does not apply retroactively to convictions that were already final at the time the Court decided Blakely, June 24, 2004.”). We have ruled the same regarding Booker. See United States v. Bellamy, 411 F.3d 1182, 1186-87 (10th Cir. 2005) (). Second, the district court properly noted Mr. ### Response: holding neither booker nor blakely can be applied retroactively " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 59 Haw. at 35-36, 575 P.2d at 472-73. 5 . The factors favoring adherence to principles of stare decisis include ""considerations of certainty and the equal treatment of similarly situated litigants.” Boys Markets, Inc. v. Retail Clerks Union, Local 770, 398 U.S. 235, 257, 90 S.Ct. 1583, 1596, 26 L.Ed.2d 199 (1970) (Black, J., dissenting). When addressing a second appeal in the same case, overruling the decision reached in the first appeal will not result in disparate treatment of similarly situated litigants. 6 .The fact that the composition of the court has changed since Ross I was decided, although in and of itself not a sound reason to reconsider that decision, is not a bar to reconsideration •under the ""law of the case” doctrine.

McCoy, 593 F.3d 610, 622-23 (7th Cir. 2010), Hoeft cannot make out a claim of deliberate indifference. As for his claim against Hasten, Hoeft insists that exposing prisoners to loud noises does constitute a violation of the Eighth Amendment. Compare Keenan v. Hall, 83 F.3d 1083, 1090 (9th Cir. 1996) (reversing summary judgment in favor of official who subjected prisoner to constant “ ‘screaming, wailing, crying, singing and yelling’ ” by other inmates), with Lunsford v.

Circuit City’s arbitration agreement, which limits punitive damages to the greater of $5,000 or the sum of a claimant’s backpay and front pay awards, eviscerates Congress’s intent to utilize punitive damages as a tool for combating discrimination, particularly in cases where no backpay or front pay is awarded.

While administrative feasibility is not a prerequisite to class certification, manageability is still a factor to be considered in a court’s superiority analysis. “Manageability concerns must be weighed against the alternatives and will rarely, if ever, be sufficient to prevent certification of a class.” Trosper v.

In keeping with the spirit of fortuity that is fundamental to insurance coverage, we hold that the CGL policy does not provide coverage to Custom for its alleged defective construction of and workmanship on the steel grain bin. Our holding is consistent with the majority of Ohio courts that have denied coverage for this type of claim. The majority view is that claims of defective construction or workmanship are not claims for “property damage” caused by an “occurrence” under a CGL policy. E.g., Bogner Constr. Co. v. Field & Assocs., 5th Dist. No. 08-CA-11, 2009-Ohio-116, 2009 WL 91300, at ¶ 51 and 44 (); Paramount Parks, Inc. v. Admiral Ins.

(quoting Miller-El, 537 U.S. at 338, 123 S.Ct. 1029). In this instance, Mr. Hernandez has failed to make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right and, therefore, we deny his request for a COA and dismiss his appeal. In his COA application, Mr. Hernandez does not specifically discuss the district court’s resolution of any of his habeas claims, much less explain how reasonable jurists could debate the correctness of that resolution. According ly, we deem Mr. Hernandez’s challenge to the district court’s resolution of his claims to be waived. See United States v. Springfield, 337 F.3d 1175, 1178 (10th Cir.2003) (); see also Thomas v.

Anderson has not raised a colorable constitutional claim, as he is simply re-characterizing an allegation that the IJ abused his discretion as a constitutional issue. Moreover, even if colorable, Anderson’s claim fails. Anderson’s right to due process was not violated as the IJ continued proceedings for over a month in order to allow him an opportunity to pursue his case. See Li Hua Lin v.

Defendants have also asserted as an affirmative defense that Durham’s state-law claims under Conn. Gen.Stat. § 22a-16 and § 22a-452 are barred by the applicable state statute of limitations. Defendants have raised three possible statute of limitations that could apply to Durham’s state-law claims: (i) Conn.

Instead of contesting whether Section 98 may apply to witnesses covered by Section 1987(b), Plaintiff argues only that Marin is not the type of witness eligible for a written notice pursuant to Section 1987(b). Opp. at 9-10. However, this argument is inapposite because'the applicability of Section 1987(b) to Marin in the instant case does not alter the Court’s analysis of the plain meaning of Section 98, 4 . Additionally, the Court notes that Marin had authorized H&H to accept service on her behalf, see Compl., Ex. 1, and that as a result, had Plaintiff served. H&H, the service would have been binding upon Marin. See Tresway Aero, Inc. v, Superior Court, 5 Cal.3d 431, 441-42, 96 Cal.Rptr. 571, 487 P.2d 1211 (1971) (). 5 .Defendants have filed an unopposed request ### Response: holding that a defendant was estopped from asserting improper service where the defendants conduct caused the allegedly improper service " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to create unrest through his abuse of the grievance process.

Embedded in this conclusion is both a legal error and a factual one. The legal problem is that the district court, following analysis from this court, already concluded as a matter of law that King’s assistance to other prisoners in using the grievance system was protected conduct. R. 158 (Dist. Ct. Mem. Op. & Order at 14). Abusive or manipulative use of a grievance system would not be protected conduct. See Hill v. Lappin, 630 F.3d 468, 472 (6th Cir.2010) ().

When the relief sought is equitable, R.C. 2311.04 confers no right to a jury trial. Erie Ins. Group, supra, 15 Ohio St.3d at 382, 15 OBR at 498-499, 474 N.E.2d at 322; City Loan & Sav. Co. v.

When the pleadings seek a mixture of legal and equitable relief, the right to a jury trial depends upon the action’s primary and predominant objective. See, e.g., Murello Constr. Co. v.

For example, defendant never indicated to the escrow office that the time for performance under the agreement had expired. Rather, she went to the escrow office on June 13, 2003, to sign closing documents, and she deposited a check for taxes and closing costs with the escrow company. Also, plaintiff sent defendant a letter on June 24, 2003, stating that closing was postponed until the lis pendens issue was resolved, and, thereafter, the parties stayed in contact with each other regarding the agreement by phone. In light of the conduct of the parties, it is apparent that neither party sought to enforce the May 31 deadline, even if that had been the intent of their original agreement. See Patterson v. Amundson, 201 Or App 486, 496, 119 P3d 264 (2005) ().

This reading of the statute is confirmed by the legislative history of § 1681b(c)(l)(B)(i) which indicates Congressional intent that the opt-out provision be included in the first “prescreening or direct marketing solicitation.” The required opt-out language, in turn, presumes that a firm offer of credit has been made. See Sen. Rep. 103-209, at 25-26 (1993) (1993 WL 516162). For similar reasons, the Court finds Defendant’s standing argument, which is based upon the fact that Plaintiff did not call Defendant, to be without merit. See In re Trans Union Corp.

Our sister circuits have recognized this, concluding that similar non-policy-based government acts are not protected by the discretionary function exception. Indeed, as one court has noted, a holding that “torts stemming from garden variety decisions fall outside the discretionary function exception is consistent with a primary motive behind the [Federal Tort Claims Act].” Cestonaro v.

We do not see how the freedom to testify negligently will result in more truthful expert testimony. Without some overarching purpose, it would be illogical, if not unconscionable, to shield a professional, who is otherwise held to the standards and duties of his or her profession, from liability for his or her malpractice simply because a party to a judicial proceeding has engaged that professional to provide services in relation to the judicial proceeding and that professional testifies by affidavit or deposition.

Res judicata is appropriate if: 1) the parties to both actions are identical (or at least in privity); 2) the judgment in the first action is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction; 3) the first action concluded with a final judgment on the merits; and 4) the same claim or cause of action is involved in both suits. See United States v. Shanbaum, 10 F.3d 305, 310 (5th Cir.1994). The first and second elements of res judicata are not disputed. Ellis first argues that the dismissal of the Northern District suit as time-barred was not a decision on the merits for res judicata purposes. We have rejected this claim. See Nilsen v.

We recognize the difference in legal standards, but conclude that it is not material to the disposition of this case. While, as noted earlier, the “significant factor” test for the Burk tort claim does not require but-for causation, it imposes much more than some de minimus burden on the plaintiff. It “requir[es] a showing of more than a mere causal link,” in that “a factor may be a cause without being significant.” Elzey v. Forrest, 739 P.2d 999, 1001-02 (Okla.1987). The plaintiff “must do more than show that [age] was only one of many possible factors resulting in his discharge.” Wallace v. Halliburton Co., 850 P.2d 1056, 1059 (Okla.1993); see White v. Am.

(b) The intent of the Legislature is to convict and sentence for each criminal offense committed in the course of one criminal episode or transaction and not to allow the principle of lenity as set forth in subsection (1) to determine legislative intent.

Osborne, 79 N.J. Eq. 430, 445-46, 82 A. 424 (Ch.1911) (court has common law power to suspend sentence). Illustrative of instances where the Legislature has precluded the courts from exercising their inherent common law power to impose suspended sentences are the cases dealing with mandatory minimum terms. See State v.

April 18, 1997) (order denying discretionary review). By treating the foregoing passage as preclusive on the issue of whether Dictado’s petition was properly filed, the majority transforms § 2244(d)(2) into a merits-based tolling provision, contrary to the plain meaning of the statute and contrary to the nearly-unanimous judgment of federal courts that have interpreted the provision. See supra note 1. If. a state permits prisoners to file successive petitions or petitions outside the limitations period, and the prisoner complies with the basic procedural requirements for filing such petitions, federal courts should not interfere with that state policy, but should deem the petitions “properly filed.” See Lovasz, 134 F.3d at tions, 36 F.Supp.2d 317, 318-319, 320 (E.D.Va.1999) (); United States ex rel.

That fact does not absolutely preclude us from identifying a broader scope of implied preemption within § 276, but we see no cause for doing so here. Although we discern in § 276 a clear intent to create a comprehensive federal plan for payphone regulation, Congress left it to the Commission to decide how to structure the regulations and enforcement mechanisms. Congress did not express a preference for absolute national uniformity or exclusive federal enforcement, leaving those decisions to the Commission and expressly allowing for the operation of state law if consistent with the Commission's chosen plan. Cf. CSX Transp., Inc. v. Easterwood, 507 U.S. 658, 664, 675, 113 S.Ct. 1732, 123 L.Ed.2d 387 (1993) () (emphasis added).

Instead, it seems to stem from the defendants’ threat to sue the plaintiffs under the Lanham Act for trademark infringement if they attempt to enter the U.S. market with their SMIRNOV vodka products. However, the court doubts that the threat to sue another party under the Lanham Act can give rise to a violation of that same Act. Instead, in the opinion of the court, this asserted anti-competitive harm is better recognized, if at all, under other statutes. See Coca-Cola Co. v. Overland, Inc., 692 F.2d 1250, 1257-58 (9th Cir.1982); Letica Corp. v. Sweetheart Cup Co., 790 F.Supp. 702, 704-07 (E.D.Mich.1992); cf. Car-Freshner Corp. v. Auto Aid Mfg.

Granted, one court, in a Chapter 7 case, has found that the mere fact that a tort claim arises from post-petition conduct can support a holding that the claim is a core proceeding in bankruptcy. Matter of O’Sullivan’s Fuel Oil Co., 88 B.R. 17, 20 (D.Conn.1988). However, I am unpersuaded that the fact that a claim arises post-petition can, without more, transform the claim into a core proceeding. See In re CIS Corporation, 172 B.R. at 758 (conversion action is non-core even if asserted post-petition); cf. also In re Lipstein, 94 Civ. 7100 (LLS), 1995 WL 675486, at *1 (S.D.N.Y.

If the Surrogate’s Court determines that a Temporary Administrator should be appointed, that person will have an identity of interest with Mr. Horler. Finally, our decision to abstain on Colorado River grounds is influenced, in part, by the special expertise of the Surrogate’s Court in matters related to the probate and administration of wills. Although this case may not fall within the so-called “probate exception” to federal court jurisdiction, since jurisdiction is invoked pursuant to a federal statute rather than diversity of citizenship, Ashton v.

Id. at 1002 n. 11 (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Pacor, Inc. v. Higgins, 743 F.2d 984, 994 (3d Cir.1984)). Subsequent decisions have clarified that “related to” jurisdiction is to be broadly interpreted. See, e.g., In re Johnson, 960 F.2d 396, 403 (4th Cir.1992); In re A.H. Robins Co., 182 B.R. 128, 133 (Bankr.E.D.Va.1995) (), aff'd, 86 F.3d 364 (4th Cir.1996).

Under the plea agreement, Mr. Sines has agreed to waive his right to appeal the sentence “on any ground” or to contest the sentence in any collateral attack. His attempt to dress his collateral attack in the clothing of a modification of supervised release must fail. Allowing him to challenge the sentence in this manner would gut the effectiveness of most waivers of appeal and waivers of collateral attack. Cf. Behrman, 235 F.3d at 1051 ().

As noted above, this Court has departed somewhat from that common formulation and has described criminal contempt as “[la] the willful [2a] disobedience toward, or [lb] open [2b] disrespect for,. [3] the rules or orders of a court.” Poindexter, 389 S.W.3d at 117. Although broader, perhaps, than the version limited to willful violations of reasonably specific court orders, we agree with the Cabinet and the dissenting Court of Appeals judge that our version of the contempt elements is likewise limited, as the Supreme Court said, to the “violation of] specific duties ... arising directly from the parties’ participation in judicial proceedings,” not to a party’s duties generally under the substantive law.

We have noted that the acceptance of other African-American as jurors is no defense to a Batson claim. Conerly v. State, 544 So.2d 1370, 1372 (Miss.1989). The pivotal issue here becomes not whether the State used all of its peremptory challenges against African-Americans, nor whether there where two African-Americans on the jury, but whether we may disturb the trial court’s finding that the State did not use its peremptory challenges in a discriminatory manner against African-American venirepersons. See Govan v. State, 591 So.2d 428, 430 (Miss.1991); Sudduth v. State, 562 So.2d 67 (Miss.1990) ().

Wal-Mart argues, among other things, that it is fundamentally unfair to allow White’s expert to conduct a physical examination, but to prevent Wal-Mart’s expert from conducting a physical examination. White responds by stating, among other things, that because Dr. Hinton has already formed an opinion based on White’s medical records, Wal-Mart has failed to establish good cause for a physical examination, as required by Rule 35. Thus, White asks us to deny the mandamus petition because, he argues, Wal-Mart has not shown that the trial court abused its discretion with respect to the 4, 267 (E.D.Mo.1996) ().

Moore attempts to distinguish Farns-worth on the basis that the offense at issue in that case was labeled “vehicular manslaughter” and therefore, as a version of manslaughter, was already specifically enumerated as a crime of violence in the commentary to USSG § 4B1.2. See USSG § 4B1.2, cmt. n. 1 (listing “manslaughter” as an example of a “crime of violence”). However, this is foreclosed by the lan guage in Farnsworth expressly declining to reach this issue. 92 F.3d at 1009 (“[W]e do not reach the government’s argument that all vehicular manslaughter is ‘manslaughter/ and therefore a crime of violence, for purposes of the Commentary to § 4B1.2.”) Famsivorth clearly holds that “eaus[ing] death by driving while under the influence of drugs or a r.2003) (); United States v.

As a prerequisite to presenting a complaint for appellate review, the record must show that the complaint was made to the trial court by a timely request, objection, or motion. Tex.R.App. P. 38.1(a)(1). A defendant’s failure to object to a jury argument forfeits his right to complain about the argument on appeal. Cockrell v.

Zamiara also included a copy of the original screen that would have shown the markings from Chaffee that the prisoner had no major misconducts and was “manageable in Level II.” Rather than causing Berghuis to question the increase in security level, she “chewed out” Chaffee and instructed him to fix the screen. R. 171 (Trial Tr. I at 133:11-19; 147:24-148:3; 149:7-11). Although this was hardly an exemplary course of conduct, the record does not establish that this “fix” was necessary to maintain King’s security status at the higher level, or had any impact on his security level. As a result, we cannot say that Warden Berghuis’s actions constituted active participation in maintaining a constitutional violation. See Taylor, 69 F.3d at 81 () (citing Hill v.

This court will affirm a post-Booker sentence if it “is within the statutorily prescribed range and is reasonable.” Id. at 433 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). As a threshold matter, VanBuren improperly treats the district court’s reentry of judgment as substantive proceedings subject to challenge under Booker. Clearly, the district court vacated VanBuren’s sentence and reimposed the same sentence in order to reinstate his direct appeal rights. Because VanBuren was effectively sentenced pre-Booker, the reasonableness standard of review is inapplicable. See United States v. Hadden, 475 F.3d 652, 667-69 (4th Cir.2007) ().

This Court will analyze Defendants’ argument under the two-step approach laid out in Owens-Illinois, Inc. v. Meade, 186 F.3d 435, 440 (4th Cir.1999). First, this court must determine whether a party who has not been joined is necessary to the action. Id. In a nearly identical situation in Johnson v. Price, 191 F.Supp.2d 626, 630 (D.Md.2001), this Court held that a daughter who was not named in her father’s wrongful death action was a necessary party under Rule 19(a). Since Maryland law restricts plaintiffs to a single wrongful death action, this Court reasoned that the decedent’s daughter was a real party in interest and her rights needed to be adjudicated. Id. at 629; see also Williams v. Work, 192 Md.App. 438, 995 A.2d 744, 755 (Md.Ct.Spec.App.2010) ().

While CWA is primarily concerned with protecting the water supply within its district, this is part of a larger statewide concern. The fact that the state has divided itself into districts for the purpose of addressing its concerns does not make the need for water and soil conservation any less a statewide issue. See Clark v. Tarrant Cty., 798 F.2d 736, 745 (5th Cir.1986) ().

Under South Carolina law, “the failure to object to proceedings below waives the presentation of those issues on appeal,” or “in post-conviction absent an allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel.” See, e.g., Cummings v.

More to the point, these documents did not serve to explain an ambiguity but instead created an ambiguity which would not otherwise exist in the Release and Settlement Agreement. Neither the Addenda nor the “memorandum of settlement” can be relied upon to “explain” an agreement which, by its terms, required no explanation. Wickenheiser v.

Instead, Thiel interpreted § 948.11(2) (a), and we apply Thiel's interpretation of the statute. Thiel's interpretation of the statute is the law, at least until modified either by the legislature through amending the language of the statute or by this court overruling its prior interpretation. 23 That the instructions were misleading in the present case without use of the word ""knowing"" does not mean that the instructions given in the present case would necessarily be misleading in another case.

The court did not address whether the corrections board could be a ""political subdivision"" of the state under the Veterans Preference Act even though the board had no power to tax, because neither party asked the court to address that issue.

This is another way of saying that the mere existence of TILA violations and lack of disclosure does not itself equitably toll the statute of limitations. This is sensible, because it is in line with the generally applicable principles of equitable tolling, and because a contrary rule would render the one-year statute of limitations meaningless, as it would be tolled whenever there were improper disclosures.

Third, it is unlikely that any of the remaining plaintiffs were sufficiently aware of OSSProxy’s operations to trigger the limitations period. Violations of the ECPA, SCA, and CFAA require only collecting information without the plaintiffs’ consent. No plaintiff would be aware of the information OSSProxy was collecting unless he analyzed the computer code of the program itself. Few potential class members likely fall into this category. The statute of limitations issue thus does not provide reason to deny class certification. Cf. In re Monumental Life Ins. Co., 365 F.3d 408, 420 (5th Cir.2004) (Smith, J.) ().

We recognize that in some instances there is a danger of quid pro quo or pay-to-play arrangements in contract awards under ballot issues.

Leonard also told police that just before he shot Flick, he had been on top of her with his pants down because they had “decided to [have sexual intercourse] on the floor.” Although Leonard’s confession suggests that Flick had consented, there was substantial evidence of forcible sexual con duct, and a rational trier of fact could find Leonard guilty of attempted rape.

She still used her office and porter and she still had regular lunch times and breaks. His unreported demeaning of her physical condition is insufficient to foist liability on Leslie Fay, for his snide comments could just as easily have been made by a coworker as a supervisor; in other words, he did not use his position to abuse her.

In light of the affidavits and the admitted actions taken by Plaintiff without approval of the TCPFA as a whole, the Court finds no genuine question of fact as to whether (1) Miller’s recusal, or (2) any further evidentiary hearings would have prevented Plaintiffs termination.

The protective sweep exception in the automobile setting does not turn solely on the 53 (2003) (same). We disagree, however, with the trial court’s conclusion that Officer Ceei’s search of the car was a valid protective sweep. There is no doubt that Officer Ceci’s concerns that defendant and Henderson could be armed were justified. Prompted by the dispatcher, the officer properly relied on information provided by the NCIC database, which is used nationwide to protect police officers “who are at risk when they approach individuals during a traffic stop.” Sloane, supra, 193 N.J. at 434, 939 A.2d 796 (citing United States v.

Both Richardson and Trujillo addressed the constitutionality of damage caps, which limited the amount of damages an individual otherwise entitled to recover damages could collect. See Trujillo, 110 N.M. at 623-32, 798 P.2d at 573-82 (addressing the constitutionality of NMSA 1978, Section 41-4-19(A)(2) (Repl.Pamp.1986), the Tort Claims Act’s damage cap); Richardson, 107 N.M. at 699, 763 P.2d at 1164 ().

Failure to cooperate with us may result in the denial of the claim.” The letter contains two conclusory statements that the plaintiff provided false information during the presentation of the claim and also states that she breached the cooperation clause of the policy. But all of the facts recited in the letter relate only to the provision of allegedly false information on the topic of where plaintiff was previously licensed. Compare Jertson v. Hartley, 342 Mass. 597, 601-602 (1961) (detailing false information that insurance company pointed to as evidence of noncooperation as provided in connection with claim); Employers’ Liab. Assur.

Smith (In re BCE West, L.P.), 319 F.3d 1166, 1170-71 (9th Cir.2003) (“Our analysis under the general rules of statutory construction begins with the language of the statute itself.”) (citation omitted). The statute and implementing regulation, Regulation Z, both substantively contemplate mandatory tender at some procedural point. Regulation Z makes this completely mandatory as to money (which Plaintiff here has previously received in the form of a loan), while appearing to qualify the obligor’s return of property with an equitable option of returning the property’s reasonable value. The broader statutory scheme does not contradict this. Multiple cases have agreed. See, e.g., Merriman v. Beneficial Mortgage Co. of Kansas, Inc. (In re Merriman), 329 B.R. 710, 718 (Bankr.D.Kan. 2005) (); Kratz, 2009 U.S. Dist.

The requirement also makes perfect sense. Subject matter jurisdiction over an action or series of claims can be conceptualized as conferring a personal right on the parties to have that action, or those claims, adjudicated in a judicial forum.

Richard’s obligation was subsequently reduced to a writ of execution in the amount of $4,869.70. This debt falls squarely within, the exception to discharge created by section 523(a)(15) because it is a debt to a former spouse that was incurred in the course of a divorce proceeding, see 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(15), and it was therefore not extinguished by the discharge. [¶ 12] Additionally, before Richard obtained the bankruptcy discharge, the court ordered him to pay $353.44 to Suzan for the costs she incurred in bringing her contempt motion. This payment obligation is also a debt described in section 523(a)(15) and therefore was not discharged. See In re Prensky, 416 B.R. 406, 411-12 (Bankr.D.N.J.2009) (). B.

As her supervisor, Lewis knew that plaintiff’s absenteeism had increased since his actions commenced. Further, plaintiff frequently described to Lewis her anxiety regarding her financial situation, a predicament at least partially caused by Lewis’s refusual to perform mandatory salary reviews. Under these circumstances, we conclude that Lewis’s harassment constituted extreme and outrageous conduct, and that it caused emotional distress which no reasonable woman could endure. See Pyle v.

Plaintiff fails to provide any evidence that VLS’s inability to recalculate the routes he supervised was tied to his resistance to Miller’s firing of Tawwaab. Carter is unable to point to any situation where an individual who did not engage in protected activity received an increase in pay due to a route recalculation. See, e.g., Obi v.

The trial court found and we agree that Appellants’ motion is primarily intended to withhold evidence from the Oklahoma grand jury. Not only did Appellants indicate to the trial court that they were seeking suppression, but also they failed to demonstrate a business need for return of the property as Appellees provided Appellants with copies of all of the seized items. Finally, the fact that Appellants are simultaneously seeking a suppression remedy under Franks strongly suggests that this motion is not intended solely or primarily for the mere return of property.

Garrison argues that the wiretaps targeting him were not intended to develop evidence of drug crimes, as claimed, but actually a subterfuge for investigating the murder of “an Aurora confidential informant.” (ECF No. 611 at 2, 4, 35-38.) ’ | If true, this would be a material omission, supporting a Franks challenge. Thus, if Garrison wishes to attack the wiretap applications with' evidence outside of what the issuing judge considered, he must show he is entitled to a Franks hearing.

While walking to his truck, the confidential informant gave the signal that he had seen the money. The confidential informant drove away, leading iable because some staged drug buys he had participated in before did not lead to arrests and because he did not meet the informant at the originally planned location. Sergeant Brawner testified that it is common for drug buys not to be completed because the other person never brings the drugs or the money. He explained that this does not mean that the informant was wrong or gave bad information. The trial court was entitled to credit this testimony. See Maxwell, 73 S.W.3d at 281 ().

Although none of her conduct at that time was directed at harming R.A., endangering conduct is not limited to actions directed toward the child. See In re J.I.T.P., 99 S.W.3d at 844 (endangering acts need not be directed at or actually cause injury to child). The trial court could reasonably determine that Jordan’s propensity for violence against herself and others, want of self control, and transient lifestyle would endanger R.A. by giving him a life of instability and uncertainty.

Accordingly, we hold that the conduct of the Twins being investigated by the Attorney General is exempt from Minnesota, as well as federal, antitrust laws. Enforcement of the CIDs against the Twins is therefore outside the scope of the Attorney General’s authority because no enforcement action could follow. See Phoenix Bd. of Realtors, Inc. v.

O’Connor, supra, 105 N.J. at 408-410 (discussing the specific procedures that a sentencing court must follow in order to comply with the statutory scheme). Our review of these policies leads us to conclude that a term of imprisonment as a condition of probation is permissible where the presumption of non-imprisonment governs a defendant’s sentence. In reaching this result, we reject defendant’s contention that the term imprisonment as used in N.J.S.A. 2C:44-1e means any imprisonment, and that the presumption against incarceration therefore bars imposition of a split sentence. See State v. Hess, supra, 198 N.J.Super. at 327-28; see also State v. Jones, 197 N.J.Super. 604, 609 (App.Div.1984) ().

The United States and the District of Columbia shall be dismissed from further proceedings in this case. An appropriate Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion. 1 .

As to the second argument that there is no detrimental reliance in this case, our review of the designated material reveals stries, 90 Mich.App. 429, 280 N.W.2d 827, 829 (1979) ().

Neither the order, the memorandum opinion, nor the findings of fact and conclusions of law entered on that motion appear in this file or are a part of the record made by father. However, they are included in the appendix to the State’s brief. Procedurally, it appears father has failed to perfect his appeal from that order and present it to this Court for review. At any rate, we reach the merits of this argument. B.

As all of the elements of collateral estoppel are satisfied, Dodson II precludes relitigation of whether, upon dissolution of Dodson and Lay’s marriage, UAMS acquired full authority to control the disposition of the embryos. That finding forecloses Dodson from establishing a constitutional deprivation based on her alleged right to control the disposition of her embryos. See Davis v.

Nevertheless, other courts have recognized that the procedural straight jacket imposed by the mandatory dismissal approach tends to advance form over substance and, in some cases, may produce unjust or prejudicial consequences. See, e.g., In re Benny, 842 F.2d at 1147 (overruling an objection based on lack of jurisdiction when the issue was not raised until 18 months after commencement of the involuntary chapter 7 case and more than one year after the voluntary conversion to a chapter 11 case); Bank of America, N.A. v. Weese, 277 B.R. at 242 (reversing an order of dismissal where dismissal of the joint involuntary petition would have jeopardized recovery of millions of dollars fraudulently transferred to an offshore trust); In re Gale, 177 B.R. at 536 (). The same concerns noted in these cases are ### Response: holding that the the reluctance to honor form over substance should be particularly acute when dealing with a bankruptcy petition as dismissal and the subsequent filing of a new petition could have a significant impact on the trustees ability to challenge prepetition property transactions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: from “discovery of the fraudulent nature of the transfer.” Cf Samples v, Fla. Birth-Related Neurological, 40 So.3d 18, 22 (Fla. 5th DCA 2010) (declining to apply principle that statutes in derogation of the common law are strictly construed where the statutory language was unambiguous). The language that the legislature enacted is “discovery of the transfer,” and it is that understanding we are obliged to follow. The decision in Schmidt took the remedial-purpose argument a step farther and reasoned that interpreting the savings clause in accord with its plain language is so inconsistent with that purpose that it leads to absurd results and thus justifies departing from the clear text of the savings clause. 319 P.3d at 427; see also Maddox v. State, 923 So.2d 442, 448 (Fla. 2006) (). We cannot agree.

McNeely, — U.S.-, 133 S.Ct. 1552, 185 L.Ed.2d 696 (2013), which he maintains extends a constitutional right to refuse to consent to chemical testing. Since both of appellant’s issues aver that appellant was exercising a constitutional right by refusing to consent to chemical testing, we must first determine whether McNeely establishes a constitutional right to refuse to submit to chemical testing in a DUÍ investigation. Our cases prior to McNeely indicate that no such constitutional right is afforded. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Beshore, 916 A.2d 1128, 1141-1142 (Pa.Super.2007) (en banc), appeal denied, 603 Pa. 679, 982 A.2d 509 (2007) ().

The Fourth Amendment itself does not contain requirements about when a search or seizure must occur or the duration of the search. United States v. Syphers, 426 F.3d 461, 469 (1st Cir.2005). However, unreasonable delay in the execution of a warrant that results in the lapse of probable cause will invalidate a warrant. Id,. Whether it is unconstitutional to conduct a forensic examination of information stored on a hard drive after the deadline specified in I.C. § 19-4412 and I.R.C.P 41(c) is a matter of first impression in Idaho. Washington Criminal Rule 2.3(e) provides that a search warrant must be executed within a specified period of time not to exceed ten days. In State v.

Varga, 151 Wn.2d at 187. Our task was to determine whether, following the 2002 amendment to the SRA, it was proper for the sentencing judges to include convictions which would have washed out based upon prior statutes and court opinions. Id. We interpreted the 2002 amendment to the SRA as a clear expression from the legislature within the statute itself to redefine “criminal history” to be applied prospectively rather than retrospectively. Id. at 191, 193. In Varga, we stated, “[h]ere endment does not apply retroactively to revive defendant’s 1975 offense that washed out under former version of the SRA); see In re Pers.

Prior Commonwealth Court decisions have also required only substantial evidence in other administrative cases where loss of reputation and employment were at risk. See, e.g., Boguslawski v.

Second, he contends, the court erroneously found that the Firm’s failure to answer his First Request for Admissions did not constitute technical admissions that bound Gustino, the Firm’s sole practitioner and owner, for purposes of summary judgment. These arguments regarding the propriety of summary judgment are nonstarters, however, because a party may not appeal an order denying summary judgment after a full trial on the merits has occurred. Ortiz v. Jordan, 562 U.S. 180, 188-84, 131 S.Ct. 884, 888-89, 178 L.Ed.2d 708 (2011) (“May a party, as the Sixth Circuit believed, appeal an order denying summary judgment after a full trial on the merits? Our answer is no.”) (footnote omitted); Lind v. United Parcel Serv., Inc., 254 F.3d 1281, 1286 (11th Cir.2001) ().

It is only a memorandum of the agreement.”). Because the agreement between the parties was ambiguous, the interpretation of that agreement is a question of fact which cannot be decided by this Court at the summary judgment stage. See ADP Marshall, 710 F.Supp.2d at 212. BJ’s also contends that, because Cappalli was a BJ’s member, she was bound by BJ’s rules of membership, including those contained in the P & C’s, regardless of her knowledge of those rules. The cases cited by BJ’s in support of this argument, however, all involve associations very different from the one at issue in the present case. See Post v.

A plea agreement is a bargain, and generally, a defendant is not entitled to change only one part of that bargain. See State v. Turley, 149 Wn.2d 395, 400, 69 P.3d 338 (2003) (recognizing that, generally, a plea agreement is a package deal). The arguments before us have been couched in terms of whether the trial court erred in accepting the plea, not in terms of whether Easterlin should be allowed to withdraw some portion of his plea. Our disposition makes it unnecessary for us to resolve these perplexities. 2 We recognize that this was not so clear at the time Easterlin filed his appeal. See State v. Holt, 119 Wn.

After making your own judgment, give the testimony of each witness such weight, if any, as you think it deserves.” This instruction explicitly informed the jury that it was entitled to give a witness’s testimony no weight at all, if it so chose. Accordingly, the trial justice, though not using the precise words proffered by defendant, adequately instructed the jury about its authority to discredit the testimony of a witness who had been impeached by a prior inconsistent statement. See Adefusika, 989 A.2d at 477 ().

Id. at 64, 216 P.2d at 403-04 (emphasis added). Therefore, according to the court, the admitted failure to satisfy the requirement of contiguity in A.R.S. § 9-471 (A) was also a failure to meet a condition precedent, and thus the City of Phoenix never possessed jurisdiction to annex.

Thus, Johnson’s voluntary dismissal of his state court action is not an event to which equitable tolling applies. V Based on the foregoing, the district court’s dismissal of Johnson’s claims against the defendants under § 1981 and under California Civil Code §§51 and 51.5 for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and the district court’s dismissal of Johnson’s FEHA claims for failure to comply with the statute of limitations are AFFIRMED. 1 .

As many courts have held, a State is not ### Response: holding that the state was a real party in interest when the attorney general filed suit under the illinois consumer fraud act on behalf of residents who were specifically aggrieved by violations of the act because the attorney general decides whether to bring the litigation and maintains control of it in her role as protector of the public and not as personal representative of the consumers for whom she seeks restitution " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to the revised section 1441 unequivocally states: Congress kept the diversity jurisdiction and kept § 1441(c) as well, but made it inapplicable in diversity cases. Under the amendment, a removal under § 1441(e) is henceforth permitted only. in a federal question case, i.e., a case in which jurisdiction of the claim that furnishes the removal basis is one that arises under federal law. ‡ ¡K ‡ ‡ Whatever the reason for the 1990 amendment, the diversity case may no longer invoke removal under subdivision (c); only the federal question claim — a claim arising under federal law — will henceforth support a subdivision (c) removal. 28 U.S.C.A. § 1441, Commentary on 1990 Revision (West Supp.1993). See 14A Charles A. Wright, et al, Federal Practice and Procedure § 3724 (Supp.1993) at 99-100 ().

See Tenn.Code Ann. §§ 50-6-204(a)(5), 50-6-225(a)(a). Because the statute relied upon by NHC, Tennessee Code Annotated section 50-6-124(d), does not expressly state that appeals of decisions made by an employer’s utilization review program are solely or exclusively through the Commissioner’s utilization review program, it must be construed harmoniously with the provisions that allow appeals in workers’ compensation matters. Moreover, we believe that granting employees recourse through the Commissioner in addition to judicial review is consistent with the remedial purpose of the Workers’ Compensation Act. Tenn.Code Ann. § 50-6-116 (1999); see also McCall v. Nat’l Health Corp., 100 S.W.3d 209, 213 (Tenn.2003) (). Accordingly, we conclude that the ### Response: holding that the trial courts authority to initiate workers compensation benefits before the final adjudication was not divested by the legislature and was consistent with the stated purpose of the workers compensation act " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: restitutionary provisions of the Victim and Witness Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3663-3664. This proposition presents a pure question of statutory interpretation and, as such, invites de novo review. See, e.g., Gifford, 17 F.3d at 472; Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., 978 F.2d 750, 757 (1st Cir.1992). A. Conceptualizing the Problem. This ease falls into a grey area that separates two established legal principles. On one hand, although once problematic, see infra p. 35, it is by now settled that a government entity (local, state, or federal) may be a “victim” for purposes of the VWPA (and may be awarded restitution) when it has passively suffered harm resulting directly fro h Cir.1993) (similar) (dictum); United States v. Salcedo-Lopez, 907 F.2d 97, 98 (9th Cir.1990) (); United States v.

As a result, Title VII is not applicable to the contention that the infertility exclusion has a greater impact on women because they are the ones who are required to undergo a majority of the treatment. The plaintiffs second argument fails because the plaintiff has not provided evidence that female participants in plaintiffs medical plan and their dependent spouses incurred disproportionately more of the costs of infertility treatments than did male plan participants and their dependent spouses. Plaintiffs evidence of the disparate impact caused by the Plan’s infertility exclusion is probably sufficient to demonstrate a discriminatory impact between male and female employees. Bradley v. Pizzaco of Nebraska, Inc., 939 F.2d 610, 612-14 (8th Cir.1991) (). However, the plaintiffs failed to analyze the ### Response: holding that medical evidence and a statistical study by the military was sufficient evidence to prove a discriminatory impact " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to its being refiled. During this period of time, no progress was made toward confirmation of debtor’s Plan, which had been filed on January 12, 1995. On June 9, 1995, the UST filed a motion to establish a deadline by which an Amended Plan would be filed. By Order entered June 13, 1995, the debtor was given twenty days in which to file an Amended Plan. No Amended Plan was ever filed. The UST and Barbara Meyer filed motions to convert the case to Chapter 7 or, alternatively, to dismiss the case for failure to file an Amended Plan. The Court held a hearing on July 14,1995, on said motions. At that time, Mr. Desselle appeared and agreed that a confirmable Plan could not be filed, and he asked the Court to dismiss the case, rather than convert to Chapter 7.

One of the problems the legislature sought to address in limiting the availability of RICDs was the concern that private parties could tie up excessive amounts of water in the stream, with little financial outlay. See Upper CGun-nison, 109 P.8d at 600-01. Diverting water for purposes of a flow-through right, by contrast, requires an appropriator to invest in a diversion structure. Thus, despite its concerns about the notion of instream appropriations, the legislature did not abrogate this court's holding in City of Fort Collins that an appropriator may divert water from a natural stream for beneficial uses including recreational, piscatorial, and wildlife uses. Compare City of Fort Collins, 830 P.2d at 920, 930-31 (), with § 87-92-103(7) (defining ""[dliversion"" ### Response: holding that fort collinss nature dam which diverted water from the poudre river into its historic channel past a nature center removes water from its natural course and puts that water to a beneficial use " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: have said so. See, e.g., Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 704 (“Agency action made reviewable by statute and final agency action for which there is no other adequate remedy in a court are subject to judicial review. A preliminary, procedural, or intermediate agency action or ruling not directly reviewable is subject to review on the review of the final agency action.”). Where a federal statute provides for an unqualified right of review, it is impermissible to imply either an additional administrative requirement originating in state law (i.e. a finality requirement) or to recognize an exhaustion requirement by implication. See W. Radio Serv. Co. v. Qwest Corp., 530 F.3d 1186, 1195, n. 6 (9th Cir.2008) (citing AT & T Commc’n Sys. v. Pac. Bell, 203 F.3d 1183, 1184 (9th Cir.2000) () ).

There are two ways in which an individual may be held liable under § 1983 — he may be sued for his own personal actions (“direct liability”), or, under certain limited circumstances, for the actions of his subordinates (“supervisoral liability”), see, e.g., Lewis v. Smith, 855 F.2d 736, 738 (11th Cir.1988). When a government official is sued under a theory of direct liability, he may seek summary judgment on qualified immunity grounds. To even be potential ly eligible for summary judgment due to qualified immunity, the official must have been engaged in a “discretionary function” when he performed the acts of which the plaintiff complains. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 2738, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982) (). It is the burden of the governmental official ### Response: holding that qualified immunity extends to government officials performing discretionary functions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: testified that he was competent to opine about such blood spatter patterns based on his training as a crime scene analyst, and attorney Smith testified that he did not make an additional objection because it was not necessary for Richards to be an expert to testify as he did. Ultimately, the postconviction court determined that Everett failed to show that attorney Smith was deficient. We agree. To the extent that Everett claims that attorney Smith was deficient for not making a subsequent objection about Richards’ qualifications, such argument is without merit. At the time of Everett’s trial in 2002, Florida district courts had held that a party was not required to reassert his objection after it had been overruled. See, e.g., Howard v. State, 616 So.2d 484, 485 (Fla. 1st DCA 1993) (); Thomas v. State, 599 So.2d 158, 159-60 n. 1 ### Response: holding that where defendant sought to exclude evidence prior to trial and again just prior to witnesss testimony at issue it was not necessary for defendant to object to testimony when it was actually put before jury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: other enumerated instances of bad faith are sufficient to support the fee award. We begin by emphasizing that the district court assessed the fees pursuant to the court’s “inherent power” to “manage [its] own affairs.” Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31, 82 S.Ct. 1386, 1389, 8 L.Ed.2d 734 (1962). It is beyond serious dispute that a district court may use its inherent powers to assess attorneys’ fees against a party that has “ ‘acted in bad faith, vexatiously, wantonly, or for oppressive reasons,”’ Chambers, 501 U.S. at 45-46, 111 S.Ct. at 2133 (quoting Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. v. Wilderness Society, 421 U.S. 240, 258-59, 95 S.Ct. 1612, 1622, 44 L.Ed.2d 141 (1975)); see also Roadway Express, Inc. v.

Beal Bank argues there is no evidence Schleider and Beal Bank agreed on the material terms so as to create a binding contract, such as would support modification or no-vation. We agree. When the parties leave an essential term open for future negotiation, there is no binding contract. T.O. Stanley, 847 S.W.2d at 221. In the present case, there is no evidence Schleider and Beal Bank agreed on the duration of an extension of the loan, a new maturity date, the rate of interest that would apply, or the amount and number of additional payments. Thus, there is no evidence of a binding agreement in the present case. See T.O. Stanley Boot, 847 S.W.2d at 221-22 (); Gerdes v.

Soler Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., 473 U.S. 614, 105 S.Ct. 3346, 87 L.Ed.2d 444 (1985). The 1995 customer agreement contains a broadly worded arbitration clause that is clear on its face — it covers “any” and “all” controversies that may arise between Merrill Lynch and Ms. Kirton — and, like unambiguous statutes, it leaves no room for interpretation. See, Allied-Bruce Terminix Companies, Inc. v. Dobson, 684 So.2d 102, 103 (Ala.1995) (discussing the ride that general principles of contract law apply to the interpretation of an arbitration provision); Coastal Ford, Inc. v.

Taking all inferences in the favor of plaintiff, as required at this stage of the proceedings, this Court concludes that the allegations of the involvement of defendants in the various specific actiohs taken against plaintiff, combined with the general allegation of intentional disparate treatment because of his race, is sufficient to defeat the motion by defendants to dismiss as to this count.

To determine whether the evidence is more probative than prejudicial, a district court must engage in a “ ‘common sense assessment of all the circumstances surrounding the extrinsic offense,’ including prosecutorial need, overall similarity between the extrinsic act and the charged offense, as well as temporal remoteness.” United States v. Calderon, 127 F.3d 1314, 1332 (11th Cir.1997) (citing United States v. Beechum, 582 F.2d 898, 914-15 (5th Cir.1978)); see also United States v. Pollock, 926 F.2d 1044, 1048 (11th Cir.1991) ().

Second Approach — Other district courts have determined that § 1681t(b)(l)(F) does not preempt common law tort claims, and such claims may be brought but have reached this conclusion by two different avenues. The first group contends that 1681t(b)(l)(F) applies to state statutes only, and that § 1681h(e) applies to common law torts. A discussion of this rationale is set out in McCloud v. Homeside Lending, 309 F.Supp.2d 1335, 1341 (N.D.Ala.2004); and Jeffery v. Trans Union, LLC, 273 F.Supp.2d 725, 726-28 (E.D.Va.2003) ().

Thus, La.Code Evid. art. 1101(B) may be read harmoniously with the provisions of La.Code Evid. art. 104(A). Furthermore, even though this Court has never elaborated on the interplay of Articles 104 and 1101 of the Code of Evidence, our research shows we have recognized hearsay rules do not apply in hearings on motions to suppress evidence. State v. Castleberry, 99-1388 (La.4/13/99), 758 So.2d 749; see also United States v.

Consistent with this perspective, absent a statute allowing for survival, a deceased claimant’s personal injury claim could not be asserted by heirs or an estate. See McClure v. Johnson, 50 Ariz. 76, 81, 69 P.2d 573, 575 (1937). Many courts concluded that whether a claim would survive the claimant’s death should also determine whether it could be assigned during the claimant’s life and applied this test to both personal injury and other claims. See, e.g., Comegys v. Vasse, 26 U.S. (1 Pet.) 193, 213, 7 L.Ed. 108 (1828) (dicta noting that “mere personal torts, which die with the party, and do not survive to his personal representatives, are not capable of passing by assignment.”); United Verde Extension Mining Co. v.

Accordingly, without hearing oral argument, we conditionally grant the writ of mandamus and direct the trial court to order that Doskocil’s fraudulent inducement claim proceed to arbitration.

First, when an abstract concept has no claimed practical application, it is not patentable. The Supreme Court has held that “[a]n idea of itself is not patentable.” Rubber-Tip Pencil, 87 U.S. at 507, 87 U.S. 498. In Benson, the claim was for a method of converting binary-coded decimal numerals into pure binary numerals that was “not limited to any particular art or technology, to any particular apparatus or machinery, or to any particular end use.” 409 U.S. at 64, 93 S.Ct. 253. Since the claim would therefore “wholly preempt the mathematical formula and in practical effect would be a patent on the algorithm itself,” the claim was unpat-entable because its “practical effect” was to “patent an idea” in the abstract. Id. at 71-72 93 S.Ct. 253. See also AT & T, 172 F.3d at 1358 (); State Street Bank, 149 F.3d at 1373 (same); ### Response: holding that a mathematical algorithm must produce a useful concrete and tangible result to be patentable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: for determining whether an action will be significant.

One such factor is “the degree to which the action may adversely affect an endangered or threatened species or its habitat that has been determined to be critical under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.” 40 C.F.R. § 1508.27(a). Here, the Forest Service concluded that the project “may affect, is likely to adversely affect” the NSO, due to direct owl disturbance and disruption of breeding, as well as destruction and degradation and increased fragmentation of NSO habitat (much of which is designated NSO critical habitat and/or within existing NSO activity centers). (See EA at 26-32, AR 385-391.) At a minimum, this finding is an important factor supporting the need for an EIS. See also Ocean Advocates, 361 F.3d at 1125 ().

Mazur does not allege that Hamacher invented the incident in order to cause Mazur to be put on probation, much less that Eldridge placed Mazur on probation for an incident she knew did not happen; nor does the record provide support for such a claim. 5 . Mazur also alleges that Hamacher called him a “stupid moron plate-head” on one occasion. However, Mazur himself stated that he did not hear from Bell that Hamacher had called him a “plate-head moron” until after Wal-Mart terminated him. Therefore, this comment could not have contributed to Mazur experiencing a hostile work environment. See Langlois v.

Case law overwhelmingly supports the principle that an alibi instruction is not appropriate where defendant’s presence at the scene of the crime is not necessary to support conviction. United States v.

The record indicates that respondent himself had regularly noticed matters for hearing in this case to be heard before Judge Pirrello in his Winnebago County courtroom. Where the parties consent to holding court in different places, they cannot complain on appeal. Patchen v. Patchen, 364 Ill. 178, 181-82 (1936). Moreover, the validity of an order is determined by where it became effective, and the fact that an order is signed by a judge in a county other than where he is presiding over a case does not affect the validity of the judgment.

Persico is distinguishable from the case at bar, however. In Pérsico, there was no pending state criminal proceeding at the time the defendant engaged in witness tampering. Thus, there was no dispute that the particular proceeding contemplated by the defendant was the imminent federal grand jury proceeding. Here, Shavers and White were clearly contemplating their upcoming hearings in Pennsylvania state court, and not any federal proceeding, when they sought to tamper with potential witnesses. For that reason, we hold that no rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of a § 1512(b)(1) violation beyond a reasonable doubt. See United States v. Shively, 927 F.2d 804, 811-12 (5th Cir. 1991) ().

That, plaintiffs contend, is precisely what the board did in the instant case and hence they have no claim to legislative immunity. For the reasons that follow, we agree. The Seventh Circuit has provided little guidance on applying the so-called functional approach to absolute legislative immunity; so, we shall begin our analysis by reference to guidance from the Supreme Court and the approaches of the other federal circuit courts. In a context not involving legislative immunity, the Supreme Court observed that “[t]he essentials of the legislative function are the determination of the legislative policy and its formulation and promulgation as a defined and binding rule of conduct.” Yakus v. United States, 321 U.S. 414, 424, 64 S.Ct. 660, 667, 88 L.Ed. 834 (1944) (). Similarly, in Prentis v.

If anything, the relevant Montana Supreme Court cases suggest that an employer cannot be held liable under WDEA for its “failure to recall or rehire” a former employee unless that employer has some independent legal duty— such as a contractual obligation — to do so.

Appellant’s argument that the IRS’s application of this prepetition payment to the penalty is an avoidable transfer is a back door route to requiring the bankruptcy court to order the IRS to allocate the payment to tax and interest. Several courts, including the Supreme Court, have addressed the issue of the bankruptcy court’s authority to order the IRS to reallocate payments. See United States v.

M.M was then instructed by the administrative dean to go to the indoor waiting room outside of her office. The school resource officer was-.contacted after M.M. continued to engage in disruptive behavior in the waiting room. Despite instructions from both the dean and the school resource officer that he must remain in the waiting area, M.M. walked outside into an adjacent open-air courtyard (near the back of the school campus), where he was arrested for trespass. M.M. argues that he cannot be found guilty of unlawfully entering or remaining on school property because he was expressly authorized (actually required) to remain on campus until his mother arrived. Cf. E.W. v. State, 873 So.2d 485, 487-88 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004) ().

Additionally, and based on the foregoing, the Court finds that these assertions, which contradict the prior sworn testimony of Liu are sham, as they have been made solely in hopes of creating an issue of fact. See Kennedy v. Allied Mutual Ins. Co., 952 F.2d 262, 266-67 (9th Cir.1991) (stating that, upon finding subsequent contradictory affidavit is “sham,” district court may reject affidavit on summary judgment); Radobenko v.

The ALJ, when evaluating a claimant’s subjective symptoms, can also consider such things as: (1) the nature, location, onset, duration, frequency, radiation, and intensity of pain and other symptoms; (2) precipitating and aggravating factors; (3) adverse side-effects of medications, and (4) treatment or measures taken by the claimant for relief of symptoms. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1529(c)(3)(i) — (iv); see also Swindle v. Sullivan, 914 F.2d 222, 226 (11th Cir.1990) ().

The court’s determination must be treated as a ruling on a question of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 44.1. Rule 44.1 provides courts with broad authority to conduct their own independent research to determine foreign law but imposes no duty upon them to do so. See Carey v. Bahama Cruise Lines, 864 F.2d 201, 205 (1st Cir.1988) (“[Rule] 44.1 empowers a federal court to determine foreign law on its own, but does not oblige it do so.”). Thus, the party claiming foreign law applies carries both the burden of raising the issue that foreign law may apply in an action and the burden of proving foreign law to enable the district court to apply it in a particular case. Cf. Whirlpool Fin. Corp. v. Sevaux, 96 F.3d 216, 221 (7th Cir.1996) ().

Consequently, a claimant must plead plan ambiguity in this Circuit to state a claim for estoppel relative to an ERISA claim for benefits. Marks v. Newcourt Credit Group, Inc., 342 F.3d 444, 456 (6th Cir.2003). Putney did not plead in his complaint, nor did he present any evidence before the district court, that the Plan was in any way ambiguous. The district court did not err in holding that the Plan is not, in fact, ambiguous, and in dismissing Putney’s promissory estoppel claim under Rule 12(b)(6). D. O.R.C. § 3999.32 is a criminal statute that provides for criminal penalties for noncompliance. Putney therefore has no standing to invoke that statute. See Biomedical Innovations, Inc. v. McLaughlin, 103 Ohio App.3d 122, 658 N.E.2d 1084, 1086 (1995) () (citing Atlantic & Great W. Ry. Co. v.

It is settled, however, that a court must consider the burden of proof applicable at trial in determining whether a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the plaintiff. See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 254-55, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). To avoid summary disposition, then, Talhelm must show that there is sufficient evidence to allow a jury to conclude by clear and convincing evidence that she was about to report Pike to a public body for a violation or suspected violation of law when she was terminated.

While it is indisputable that the relationship between the two sentences is awkward, reading the last sentence broadly does not necessarily render the first sentence null. Considered in light of § 9613(f)(l)’s purpose, which was to codify (and hence supplant) the federal common law contribution suit implied from § 9607(a), see supra, the last sentence can logically be understood as a clarification of how the new statutory contribution suits fit into the court-interpreted CERCLA scheme. See Aviall, 312 F.3d at 685, 687 (noting that the final sentence was necessary “to eliminate the uncertainty in case law prior to [§ 9613(f)(l)’s] enactment as to whether contribution was available under CERCLA at all”); see also Pneumo Abex Corp., 142 F.3d at 776 ().

In Hanson’s second argument, Hanson alleges that it “feels the effect” in Texas of the contracts it breached in other forums. Specifically, Hanson alleges “Hanson’s Texas headquarters did not realize the revenues from those contracts, and Hanson could be sued in Texas as a result of their breach.” These facts may have been sufficient to establish personal jurisdiction in California, see Bancroft & Masters, Inc. v.

However, because federal subject matter jurisdiction attaches pursuant to the All Writs Act, procedural matters in this case, as well as any future case im pacting the prior judgment in Canady I, are governed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Although Middlesex involved a somewhat different procedural posture than Judge Griffen’s case by virtue of the New Jersey Supreme Court’s sua sponte review of the issue and their amendment of the rules granting interlocutory review of constitutional challenges, Judge Griffen’s decision not to follow the proper procedure by which to challenge the Commission’s holding does not alter the analysis.

This extension of jurisdiction is necessary to ensure the court’s ability to enforce a judgment rendered against the judgment debtor. As the Court remarked in Peacock, ancillary enforcement jurisdiction is “at its core, a creature of necessity.” 516 U.S. at 359, 116 S.Ct. 862. Thus these proceedings can reach third parties so long as it is necessary to reach assets of the judgment debtor under the control of the third party in order to satisfy the original judgment and thereby guarantee its eventual executability. In many ways this case gives the appearance of fitting within this traditional paradigm of enforcement jurisdiction. After all, the claim is in part that the assets of CDC were in effect transferred from the judgment , 454 F.2d 871 (1st Cir.1972) ().

The district court also properly determined that Officer Vazquez may have been an integral participant in the linescan room. Neither the video evidence nor Officer Vazquez’s own affidavit resolved whether he entered the linescan room with enough time to participate in the tasering or the strikes. We cannot say that the district court erred in applying the integral participation doctrine to Officer Hanlon for his wrist lock of Atencio, because his wrist lock was instrumental in controlling Aten-cio, which allowed the other officers to commit the excessive force against him. See Blankenhorn, 485 F.3d at 481 n.12 ().

If this step is inconclusive then to determine whether a defendant has been subjected to successive prosecutions for the same offense, the court must apply the same elements test. Ball v.

With regard to the Secretary’s second argument, although the Board found Mr. Arneson’s testimony “credible,” it also found the lapses in time between service and his first medical treatment “particularly significant” and “weighting] against his claim.” R. at 16-18. As Mr. Arneson argues, if the Board found his testimony concerning the continuity of his symptoms credible, such lapses in time would not weigh against his claim. The Board also stated that Mr. Arneson’s statements were “not competent medical evidence.” R. at 17. This is true. But if the Board found his testimony credible, Mr. Arneson would not need competent medical evidence to substantiate his claim. See Savage v.

Second, if HEB terminates the Plan, it will leave Swinton with all of his common law rights against HEB as a non-subscriber. See Tex. Lab.Code Ann. § 406.033(a).

Accordingly, the District Court judgment is affirmed. Plaintiff also appeals from the District Court’s May 11, 2001 order granting summary judgment dismissing his claim of malicious prosecution. Regardless of the merits of the District Court’s approach to this question, a jury has now determined that defendant had probable cause to arrest plaintiff, and that finding negates one element necessary for success on a malicious prosecution claim.

By answering the following questions you will determine the damages, if any that Elena Plana sustained as a result of the incident in question. The jury cannot be faulted for doing exactly what it was instructed to do. As the verdict form instructed, when the jury found that the subject accident was not the legal cause of Elena’s injury, it proceeded no further, except to sign the verdict form. Because counsel for the plaintiffs agreed to the wording of the verdict form, instructing the jury to go no further if it concluded that Mr. Sainz’s negligence was not the legal cause of Elena’s injury, the plaintiffs are precluded from asserting that the zero damage award entered by the jury was error.

At the time the Appellate Division issued its opinion, Confrontation Clause jurisprudence permitted testimonial hearsay to be admitted against a defendant, provided it bore sufficient “indicia of reliability.” See Ohio v. Roberts, 448 U.S. 56, 66, 100 S.Ct. 2531, 65 L.Ed.2d 597 (1980). Furthermore, clearly established Supreme Court law guided lower courts as to when and how confessions of co-conspirators could be introduced at trial in a manner that did not offend the Confrontation Clause. See Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 136-37, 88 S.Ct. 1620, 20 L.Ed.2d 476 (1968) (); see also Richardson, 481 U.S. at 203 & 211, ### Response: holding that the admission of a pretrial confession of a nontestifying codefendant that incriminates the defendant violates that defendants right to confront witnesses even if a limiting instruction is given " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: systems.

In this case, although quantity was alleged in the defendants’ indictments, the District Court instructed the jury that it need not consider the quantity of drugs trafficked by the defendants. Therefore, because we are remanding this case for resentencing so that the District Court may consider “foreign drugs,” when recalculating the sentences the District Court must do so in accord with the principles of Apprendi. Thus, although the District Court may find, by a preponderance of the evidence standard, the quantity of drugs trafficked by the defendants and use this quantity in its calculations under the Sentencing Guidelines, the resulting sentence cannot exceed the statutory maximum.

At the time of the trial court proceedings in this case, section 649.5 limited attorney fees to a maximum of forty dollars. The parties do not rely on section 649.5. Of course, rule 1.413 applies in civil cases generally, not just quiet-title actions. The amount of the sanction should be sufficient to motivate the. victims of frivolous filings to enforce the rule. See Rowedder, 814 N.W.2d at 592. Yet we are mindful that large monetary sanctions may discourage advocacy and lead to additional rounds of litigation to recover attorney’s fees. See Cooter & Gell v.

Courts frequently apply the law of the jurisdiction where an allegedly defective product was assembled or placed into the stream of commerce, or where the plaintiff is domiciled, rather than the law of the state where the accident or injury occurred.

Although the plaintiffs allege that they are bringing their cancellation claims under Sections 14 and 37 of the Lanham Act, see 15 U.S.C. §§ 1064, 1119, the court believes that the former provision only relates to those applications filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel a registered mark.

Second, providing factually inaccurate information in employment documents, or having a poor employment history, will not, in and of itself, necessarily, be admissible at trial or be likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. “Evidence of a crime, wrong, or other act is not admissible to prove a person’s character in order to show that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character.” Fed.R.Evid. 404(b)(1); see also Zubulake v.

Thus we must address the legal question of whether the IJ properly applied the evidentiary standard. The IJ found that Sillah’s testimony was “[injsufficient to establish by clear and convincing evidence that he last arrived in the United States on May 29, 2002.” The IJ’s conclusion rests on his supporting finding that Sillah could not remember the name of the person whose fraudulent passport and visa he used and claimed he was never questioned by an immigration officer either upon departing Sierra Leone or upon entering the United States, and because his testimony as to his entry date lacked corroboration. Given that Sillah’s testimony was undisputed and must be accepted as true, the IJ’s conclusion was clearly erroneous. See Ladha v. INS, 215 F.3d 889, 899 (9th Cir.2000) (). II.

Appellant’s Constitutional Challenges In his third and fourth issues, appellant contends that because the warrant and subsequent seizure were invalid, the seizure violated his due process rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and under article I, section 19 of the Texas Constitution. Because we have concluded that the warrant was valid despite its title and that the proper procedures were followed in executing the seizure, appellant’s due process rights under federal and state law were not violated. See Ramos v.

Here, unlike in Vo, Crooks II, or Van Brandy, the relevant time period is the one between Pete’s arrest and his indictment, which is governed by § 3161(b). But the STA makes no distinction regarding the applicability of the exclusions under § 3161(h)(1) to the pre-indictment period (governed by § 3161(b)) and the pretrial period (governed by §§ 3161(c) and (e)), and nothing in Vo, Crooks II, or Van Brandy suggests such a distinction.

Three years later, on July 31, 2001, Latimer filed a notice of removal in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. Appellees filed a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) requesting the federal district court to remand the matter to state court. Appellees based their motion on the well-settled rule that 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a) authorizes only defendants to remove suits from state to federal court. See Shamrock Oil & Gas Corp. v. Sheets, 313 U.S. 100, 106-09, 61 S.Ct. 868, 85 L.Ed. 1214 (1941). The federal district court granted Appellees’ motion, concluding that removal was not authorized by 28 U.S.C. § 1441 because Latimer is not the defendant in this action. See Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. v. Neidhardt, 56 F.3d 352, 356 (2d Cir.1995) (). Latimer then brought this appeal.

In this case, appellant was charged and convicted under the Texas statute prohibiting possession of child pornography. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 43.25, 43.26(a). In Texas, it is an offense to knowingly or intentionally possess “visual material that visually depicts a child younger than 18 years of age at the time the image of the child was made who is engaging in sexual conduct” if the person “knows that the material depicts the child” engaging in sexual conduct. Id. § 43.26(a). Unlike the CPPA, however, the plain language of the statute indicates that it prohibits only possession of material that depicts an actual child, not material that merely “appears” to depict a child.

In their complaint Yanaki and Moss allege that a policy of Kennard that has deprived them of their constitutional rights is shown “by the fact that two Salt Lake County Sheriffs Deputies, one of whom is a Sergeant, were willing to assist in the illegal actions to deprive Moss and Yanaki of their rights.” However, assuming Ken-nard is the “final policymaker” for § 1983 purposes, they fail to allege any conduct by Kennard or by Salt Lake County officials apart from the conduct of Kopp and Herlin.

If the sentencing court believes that a defendant offered perjured testimony, the court may take that into account in imposing sentence. See United States v. Dunnigan, 507 U.S. 87, 97 (1993) (“It is rational for a sentencing authority to conclude that a defendant who commits a crime and then perjures herself in an unlawful attempt to avoid responsibility is more threatening to society and less deserving of leniency than a defendant who does not so defy the trial process.”); see also Grayson, 438 U.S. at 55 (same); Noyes, 157 Vt. at 119, 596 A.2d at 343 (same). ¶ 7.

Thus, we review the jury verdict under the plain error standard, examining only whether the plaintiff has “presented any evidence in support of his claim.” Id. (emphasis added) (citations omitted). In an employment discrimination case, the plaintiff must show that he received disparate treatment because of his race, and that the proffered nondiscriminatory reason for his treatment was a pretext for racial discrimination.

The plaintiff comes close to arguing that only the Dictionary of Occupational Titles can be used as a basis for defining the characteristics of jobs occurring in the national economy.

Movant was represented in his direct appeal by Craig A. Johnston of the Office of State Public Defender (“Appellate Counsel”). 4 . It is clear that appellate counsel is never obligated to raise “every possible issue contained in [a] motion for new trial or assert a frivolous claim. Moreover, [counsel in direct appeals is] permitted to strategically winnow out non-frivolous issues in favor of other arguments.” Cole, 223 S.W.3d at 931. 5 .

A jury instruction error ""is not harmless if it could have ‘reasonably ... affected the outcome of the trial' or if the jury 'quite possibly’ relied on an erroneous instruction.” Avaya Inc., RP v.

Inverness Hotel Corp., 544 F.3d 221, 228 (3d Cir. 2008)). Here, the difference between ""but-for” and ""mixed-motive” instruction goes to the central issue before jury; Why was Egan fired? There is no question that a significant change relating to this critical issue could have reasonably affected the outcome of the trial. See Gross v. FBL Fin.

Id. As a preliminary matter, the State contends that the Defendant waived this issue by not raising it before the Court of Criminal Appeals or in his brief requesting permission to appeal. The Defendant addressed the propriety of the attempt jury instruction within his argument- challenging the sufficiency of the evidence in his appellate brief before the Court of Criminal Appeals and his brief submitted with his application pursuant to Rule 11 of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure. Within that argument, he addressed relevant case law and cited to the record. Accordingly, the Defendant sufficiently raised this issue at both levels to allow this Court’s review of the issue. See Hodge v. Craig, 382 S.W.3d 325, 333-37 (Tenn.2012) (); Ramirez v.

Although the Ohio Supreme Court arguably addressed the merits of claims 33(a) and (b) during the Mumahan application, it addressed them in the context of appellate counsel’s failure to raise this issue on appeal, rather than as an ineffective assistance of trial counsel claim. The Ohio Supreme Court similarly addressed claim 43, rather than reviewing it as the trial court error claim raised in the habeas petition. Because the claims were raised in state court under a different theory than the petitioner raised them in the federal habe- as petition, they are procedurally defaulted. See Wong v. Money, 142 F.3d 313, 322 (6th Cir.1998) ().

In the event that the sum exceeds the actual, reasonable fees and expenses, there is no explanation as to why the trial court feels that the excess should be awarded to the estate. See Lowder v.

Only if the trial court includes findings of fact regarding how it came to choose the particular sanction imposed can this Court determine whether or not the sanction represents an abuse of discretion. Cf. Spicer v. Spicer, 168 N.C. App. 283, 287, 607 S.E.2d 678, 682 (2005) ().

Both federal and other state courts, however, have been shifting away from the strict application of this rule. One federal court in Michigan did not follow the rule when delay could be apportioned and liquidated damages were per diem, as they are under Bailey’s contract with the State. In re Constr.

The court in Delgado explained that because the defendant “eontrol[led] a large quantity of drugs and the truck used to transport them,” and “made arrangements for their transportation and delivery,” the district court’s finding was not clearly erroneous. Id. According to Delgado, a § 3B1.1 adjustment may be based on either control over people or management of assets. Id. We have followed and applied Delgado’s interpretation of § 3B1.1, cmt. n.2.

Merits Assuming, without deciding, that appellant’s objection in his motion for new trial sufficiently preserved his Eighth Amendment complaint for review, we address the merits of appellant’s argument regarding whether appellant’s sentence amounts to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution. See U.S. Const, amend. VIII. Generally, a sentence within the statutory range of punishment for an offense will not be held cruel or unusual under the Constitution of either Texas or the United States. Harris v. State, 656 S.W.2d 481, 486 (Tex.Crim.App.1983); Hill v. State, 493 S.W.2d 847, 849 (Tex.Crim.App.1973) (); Baldridge, 77 S.W.3d at 893-94.

Thus, the question presented here is whether defendants’ conduct deprived plaintiff of her Equal Protection rights. For the reasons set forth infra, the Court concludes that plaintiff has failed to present sufficient evidence from which a rational jury could find age discrimination in this case and, accordingly, grants defendants’ motion for summary judgment on this claim. a. Legal Standard Age-based employment discrimination claims brought pursuant to § 1983 are analyzed under the three-step, burden-shifting framework established by the Supreme Court in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 802-05, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973). See Kearney v. Cnty. of Rockland ex rel. Vanderhoef 185 Fed.Appx. 68, 70 (2d Cir.2006) (); Sorlucco v. N.Y.C. Police Dep’t, 888 F.2d 4, ### Response: holding that plaintiffs equal protection claim pursuant to 42 usc 1983 for agebased employment discrimination fails for the same reasons that her adea and nyshrl claims fail under mcdonnell douglas analysis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Plaintiffs seek clarification whether certain Plaintiffs (ie., Rocco and Bridie Doino, Barry and Vicki Karlin, and Barbara Saunders (¶¶ 44, 55, 63)) are excused from presenting their vehicles for repair or adjustments because their vehicles were “totaled in SUA-related incidents.” {See Opp’n at 15. ) In Plaintiffs’ view, these occurrences rendered performance impossible and therefore excused their performance. Id. In response, Defendants merely note that these Plaintiffs, like those who sought replacement or refund, failed to “seek repair” as required by the terms of the warranty. (Reply at 4.) California law has long recognized that impossibility of performance will excuse a party’s performance under a contract. Mineral Park Land Co. v. Howard, 172 Cal. 289, 291, 156 P. 458 (1916) ().

No-action alternative. Citizens’ contention that the Service failed to consider a valid no-action alternative, as required by 40 C.F.R. § 1502.14(d), is without merit. Because the Service was uncertain how it would ultimately implement the Regional Forester’s 2001 Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Decision, it constructed two no-action alternatives. Alternative 1 would have continued uses allowed under the Service’s most recent travel planning document, and Alternative 2 attempted to model future management actions that might be taken to implement the 2001 OHV Decision. We find nothing unreasonable about the Service’s formulation of these no-action alternatives. See Kilroy v. Ruckelshaus, 738 F.2d 1448, 1453-54 (9th Cir.1984) (). In fact, we find it ironic that, despite ### Response: holding that by discussing both the status quo and an alternative reflecting a potential policy shift that might be implemented in light of recent legislative changes the agency satisfied the noaction alternative requirement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Whether a given user is sophisticated is generally an issue of fact.

""Universal'' certification is the highest certification an HVAC technician can obtain from the EPA, and it allows those certified to work on, and purchase, refrigerant for large commercial air conditioning systems. 7 .

The Supreme Court and our circuit have applied the doctrine in several cases where, like this one, a potentially illegal search was followed by a search conducted in accordance with a valid search warrant premised on evidence of probable cause developed independently of the initial search. See, e.g., Murray, 487 U.S. at 541-43, 108 S.Ct. 2529 (remanding case for consideration of the inevitable-discovery doctrine where police conducted an initial, illegal search and later conducted a second, legal search in which they seized marijuana); Segura v.

(C) the President or the head of an agency for a position excepted from the competitive service by statute.” Here, it is undisputed that Attorney General Reno’s Order in 1996 determined that the position of Trustee was of a “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making or policy-advocating character.” This designation of the Trustee position is unreviewable by the courts because it is an “inherently discretionary judgment call” committed to the Attorney General. Cf. Dep’t of Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 527, 108 S.Ct. 818, 98 L.Ed.2d 918 (1988) ().

In Bendall, the plaintiff obtained a $900,000 judgment against the defendant, White. White and the plaintiff entered into a “nonexecution” agreement pursuant to which the plaintiff agreed not to execute the judgment upon White’s personal assets but to pursue only the coverage afforded under White’s insurance. The court relied on Stubblefield v.

Furthermore, the version of Vantol’s confession that he gave to the police implicated Cookson in a murder for hire scheme, which, as the trial court noted at Cook-son’s sentencing, would have made Cook-son guilty of murder and supported a life sentence.

Dissimilar treatment of dissimilarly situated persons does not violate equal protection. See Barket, Levy & Fine, Inc. v. St. Louis Thermal Energy Corp., 21 F.3d 237, 242 (8th Cir.1994). Thus, the first step in an equal protection case is determining whether the plaintiff has demonstrated that she was treated differently than others who were similarly situated to her. See, e.g., Samaad v. City of Dallas, 940 F.2d 925, 940-41 (5th Cir.1991).

Stone, 112 F.3d 971, 973 ### Response: holding that crimes of general applicabilitythat is actions that congress has declared illegal regardless of where they occurare not affected by the enactment of 1162 and remain within the subjectmatter jurisdiction of the federal courts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: out of the 1972 and the 1991 agreements. However, the trial court held, and we agree, that the 1972 and 1991 agreements were ineffective to create a contractual or business relationship with Drummond and United. Without evidence indicating that the 1972 or 1991 agreement was effective and binding, Drummond cannot prove that anyone wrongfully interfered with the purported relationship. However, we also note that the trial court held, and we agree, that Drum- mond and United had an ongoing business relationship — a tenancy at will that flowed from the expired original leases. A tenancy at will is a sufficient business or property interest to support a claim of tortious interference under the proper circumstances. See, e.g., Hall v. Integon Life Ins. Co., 454 So.2d 1338, 1344 (Ala.1984) ().

The Evolution of Negligence Claims in the Medical Setting Under traditional legal principles, our courts recognized that not every negligence action asserted against a hospital or doctor was one for medical malpractice. Estate of Doe v. Vanderbilt Univ., Inc., 958 S.W.2d 117, 120 (Tenn.Ct.App.1997). Indeed, the courts recognized that some claims against medical providers sounded only in ordinary negligence. Drawing this distinction had several important consequences. For example, although medical malpractice claims typically required expert proof, claims asserting ordinary negligence did not. See, e.g., Peete v. Shelby Cnty. Health Care Corp., 938 S.W.2d 693, 696 (Tenn.Ct.App.1996) (). In addition, distinguishing a medical ### Response: holding that expert proof was not required for an asserted claim of ordinary negligence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: apply the good-cause exception to waiver because the defendant made no showing of cause in his opening brief and declined to make such a showing in a reply brief even though the government affirmatively argued that the defendant had waived his suppression arguments). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order denying McCoy’s motion to suppress. II. Final Judgment McCoy next argues that the district court’s final judgment of conviction was tainted by an erroneous jury instruction. Specifically, McCoy argues that reversal is warranted because Instruction 26 — the aiding-and-abetting instruction — contained language similar to the aiding-and-abetting instruction that the Supreme Court rejected in Rosemond v. United States, — U.S. -, 134 S.Ct. 1240, 1251-52, 188 L.Ed.2d 248 (2014) (). Where, as here, a challenged jury instruction ### Response: holding that the district courts aidingandabetting instruction for 18 usc 924c prohibiting the use or carry of a firearm during any crime of violence or drug trafficking crime was flawed because it failed to explain that the defendant needed advance knowledge of a firearms presence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: rise to an inheritance. See Dillman v. Dillman, 409 Ill. 494, 502, 100 N.E.2d 567 (1951) (‘Heirs’ “designates all those persons, whether many or few, upon whom the law would cast the inheritance in case of intestacy”) (citations omitted); Black’s Law Dictionary 903 (10th ed. 2014) (An inheritance is generally “[property received from an ancestor under the laws of intestacy[,]” or by bequest or devise”). No one disputes that Cronin was survived only by his sister’s descendants, the Debtor and her siblings. He also died without a valid will. As a result, any funds that the Debt- or received from Cronin’s estate is an inheritance. As the Debtor became entitled to acquire the Inheritance on December 17, 2011 when Cronin passed away, see In re Chenoweth, 3 F.3d 1111, 1112 (7th Cir.1993) (), the Debtor was entitled to the Inheritance ### Response: holding that the date of death is relevant date of inquiry for the applicability of section 541a5a " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to apply a pollution exclusion on grounds of ambiguity. Id. at 852. The question is whether the language in the Policies is sufficiently unambiguous to identify pet coke’as one of the “petroleum products” covered by Exclusion K. Beemsterboer asserts that the term “petroleum products” in Exclusion K is ambiguous given the vast number of products made from petroleum, including all types of plastic products. Beemsterboer asserts that because the term “petroleum products” is vague, the Court should refuse to apply Exclusion E on the grounds of ambiguity. Continental appears to concede this point, as it fails to reply to Beemsterboer’s argument in its summary judgment briefs. See Johnson v. Gen. Bd. of Pension & Health Benefits of United Methodist Church, 733 F.3d 722, 729 (7th Cir.2013) ().

Also, Patton's inter net restriction is tailored to him as a sex offender and serves the legitimate needs of law enforcement to monitor and restrict his activities with children for this initial period following his conviction. On the other hand, we note that the internet restriction as applied to Patton does not prohibit him from searching for employment, gaining additional education, or reading a newspaper. The condition prohibits Patton from accessing only those internet-related activities used by children, which are directly related to his position as a sex offender on probation.

Over the years, the Court has broadened this exception considerably, frequently holding a post-deprivation hearing to be sufficient. Compare Board of Regents, 408 U.S. at 570 n. 7, 92 S.Ct. at 2705 n. 7 (describing use of exception as “rare”), with e.g., Barry v.

III. A. Requesting Dr. Schuster to Reconsider His Opinion Upon remand, Guardian asked Dr. Schuster to ignore Mrs. Hung’s evidence regarding headache. The district court characterized this instruction as a credibility determination within the plan administrator’s discretionary powers. We disagree. While a plan administrator may resolve conflicts between medical reports, she may not withhold or edit inconsistencies within a patient’s medical history to obtain a definitive medical report. Courts have repeatedly held that a claim administrator’s resolution between competing medical opinions is not an abuse of discretion so long as the decision is reasonable. See, e.g., Booth, 201 F.3d at 345-46 (); Elliott, 190 F.3d at 606 (same); Sheppard & ### Response: holding that the plan administrator did not abuse her discretion by denying benefits when faced with conflicting medical reports " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a claim for interest or court costs and attorney fees available under section 8371.

We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s August 6, 2002 order dismissing the Villanuevas’ appeal because they failed to file their petition for review within 30 days of the issuance of that order.

For ease of explanation, we will hereinafter refer to this portion of the statute as “Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 1123(A)(4).” 3 . The district court provided little analysis for its determination that Balderas-Rubio's prior conviction was a crime of violence, and it is therefore unclear how the district court arrived at that determination. But to the extent the district court based its determination solely on the description of Balderas-Rubio’s conduct set forth in the bill of information, without first examining the conduct proscribed by Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 1123, the district court's analysis was flawed. See, e.g., United States v. Torres-Diaz, 438 F.3d 529, 534-37 (5th Cir.2006) (). 4 .

See 11 M.R.S.A. § 9 — 504(1)—(3) (1995). Article Nine also allowed the defendants to seek an order enjoining the sales, or to seek damages from the plaintiff, if the manner or terms of the sales were commercially unreasonable.

Punitive damages may only be awarded against the defendant the jury has found liable for compensatory damages in the first stage of a bifurcated trial, and here, that defendant was plainly B & W. Given that the court of appeals remanded the case for a retrial of punitive damages on a specific claim against a specific defendant, the circuit court could not, on remand, conduct a trial involving issues beyond punitive damages, or in which punitive damages were awarded against another party, or on a different legal basis.

While this conclusion does not seem ordained by the relevant Guidelines provisions, there is no reason to force a more harsh sentence than the government seeks. The evidence at trial proved beyond a reasonable doubt that defendants conspired to violate both section 1956(a)(l)(B)(i) and section 1957. A sentence that correctly reflects this determination is necessary.

But competence and voluntariness are separate (though complementary) inquiries. “The focus of a competency inquiry is the defendant’s mental capacity” whereas the focus of a voluntariness inquiry is on “whether the defendant actually does understand the significance and consequences of a particular decision and whether the decision is uncoerced.” Godinez v.

In a subsequent False Claims Act (FCA) suit, the government sought $130,000 in damages. The Court held that the civil sanction in the FCA action constituted punishment and violated double jeopardy principles because it was not rationally related to the actual loss the government sustained. In this case, because HHS did not assess monetary damages Halper*s analysis contrasting the amount of money damages with the amount the government lost does not apply. See United States v.

As for undermining “the very nature of insurance,” it bears repeating that the relevant risk here is the risk the Excess Insurers and GenCorp agreed to when they consented to the “follow form” provisions. It is not disputed that there were no known losses at that time. Although, as noted, fortuitous loss is implicit in the concept of insurance, see Lee R. Russ, 7 Couch on Insurance § 102:7 (3d ed.1997); risk can exist with respect to past events, such that retroactive coverage, and noncoverage, is a permissible subject of an insurance contract. C. Notice GenCorp argues that several of the Excess Policies specifically require that the Exces cannot benefit from its own breach. See, e.g., Market Street Assoc. Ltd. Partnership v.

This statement raises the possibility that the cost of repair will not fully compensate Plaintiffs for Defendant's breach. Under such circumstances, a plaintiff may be entitled to both diminution in value and cost of repair. See Thomas Haverty Co. v.

This constitutes “outright release” for the instant offenses since he was not indicted until July 2 and August 14,1997.

The 360-month (30-year) sentences Neal received on Counts One and Two do not exceed the lower statutory maximum under the FSA, and there is no indication in the record that the district court would have imposed a lesser sentence had the lower statutory minimum and maximum sentences of imprisonment been in place at the time of sentencing.

Between 2000 and 2004, the Forest Service approved a number of forest projects, using the criteria of the 1982 rules. After this court held that the “best available science” standard of the 2000 transitional rules was applicable to these projects, the Forest Service began to defend these agency decisions under the new standard. See Ecology Center, Inc. v. U.S. Forest Service, 451 F.3d 1183, 1195 (10th Cir.2006) (). In Utah Environmental Congress v. Troyer, a ### Response: holding that when the forest service made transitionperiod decisions under the 1982 rules rather than the best available science standard those decisions were arbitrary and capricious " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: conscious disregard of the consequences.” Vallejos, 116 So.3d at 552. The fact that a street light on a highway is not functioning creates a certain level of danger by increasing the possibility that diminished lighting conditions may play a role in causing an accident. The widening of the highway, however, meant that a portion of the street lights would be out of service at any one time. The undisputed evidence indicated the heavy e e for almost a year and half without incident. There had been no accidents, no near accidents, no work stoppages, no highway closings, and no other specific problems caused by the non-functioning light. This is not a case where the employer ignored prior dangerous mishaps. See Pyjek v. ValleyCrest Landscape Dev., Inc., 116 So.3d 475, 478 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) (); Sullivan v.

To the contrary, its filing an intent to publish before actually publishing notice is evidence of good faith.” Id. This Court agrees that Plaintiff is not abusing the judicial process. Rather, by filing a notice of intention to publish, Plaintiff evidences its good faith. Therefore, the Court declines to exercise any inherent authority to prohibit publication of notice of the lawsuit. Both parties acknowledge trial court rulings finding that the court does not have the authority to prohibit the Government from publishing such a notice. See id. at *6 (concluding that the court does not have the power to prohibit the Government from publishing a similar notice); United States v. McLimore, CA No. IP94-1244-C (S.D.Ind.1994) ().

Id. at 606. 7 . Notably, in addition to reviewing this Court's consideration of the Bomar exception in post-Grant cases, our recent decision in Holmes generally limited Bomar to its pre-Grant facts and reaffirmed the rationale of Grant.

Instead, it shows that the landlord under the lease agreement is a Series LLC. There is also no evidence in the record to establish that MCD is entitled to, or did retain any payments of rent under the leases. The fact that CBAC may forward rent to MCD for distribution to the Series LLC’s does not establish that MCD received a substantial direct benefit under the Development Agreement.

Jones argues that the district court erred proeedurally by failing to consider his post-sentencing rehabilitation. A district court on a Crosby remand, however, is obligated to consider whether to resentence based on “the circumstances existing at the time of the original sentence.” Crosby, 397 F.3d at 117 (emphasis added); United States v.

Portland Meadows, Inc., 312 Or 376, 381-82, 823 P2d 956 (1991). The state concedes that the trial court committed plain error when it incorrectly imposed attorney fees in the absence of evidence in the record indicating defendant’s ability to pay. We accept the state’s concession that the trial court plainly erred in imposing attorney fees of $629 on this record. See State v. Coverstone, 260 Or App 714, 716, 320 P3d 670 (2014) ().

The parties did, however, sign a waiver provision whereby both parties waived all immunities. MBF believed that CNI obtained the required approval for this waiver provision—but regardless of what MBF may have thought, board approval was not obtained, and CNI’s charter controls. In short, without board approval, CNI’s sovereign immunity remains intact. 3. Equitable Doctrines MBF also argues that even without board approval, CNI waived sovereign immunity based on equitable doctrines because CNI signed the agreement representing that it waived sovereign immunity. We disagree. Courts have held that unauthorized acts of tribal officials are insufficient to waive tribal-sovereign immunity. See Native Am. Distrib. v.

Chalkwater v. Dolly, 108 Md.App. 539, 672 A.2d 673, 676 (1996). Appellant argues that the testator’s intent must be ignored in determining whether a specific bequest is adeemed. Appellant correctly notes that this is the rule in the majority of states. In re Estate of Hume, 984 S.W.2d 602, 604-05 (Tenn.1999). But this rule applies only after a court determines that a bequest is specific. Id. (concluding that the specific bequest was adeemed). The theory behind ademption by extinction is that when a testator makes a specific bequest, he or she intends the bequest to fail when the designated asset is no longer part of the estate.

Conclusion Although the medical testimony in this case might well have been valid, the Legislature has mandated that more than con-clusory opinions by experts is required before a person may be involuntarily com mitted for inpatient mental health services. Because the evidence adduced by the State at trial is insufficient to establish the elements of section 574.034 of the Health and Safety Code, we sustain C.E.’s second issue. We therefore reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the cause to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. 1 . Although C.E.’s commitment period expired on October 20, 2002, this appeal is not moot. See State v. Lodge, 608 S.W.2d 910, 911 (Tex.1980) (). 2 .

Courts narrowly construe the theory, however, and limit the scope of the duty to the extent of the undertaking. Buerkett v. Illinois Power Co,, 384 Ill. App. 3d 418, 427-28 (2008). For example, the Chicago Housing Authority, in voluntarily hiring a security company to patrol the premises, did not assume a duty to protect the decedent, a social guest, from criminal conduct and could have been liable at most for negligent hiring.

Once the moving party establishes the absence of a genuine issue of material fact, the burden shifts to the nonmoving party to go beyond the pleadings and designate “specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.” Celotex, 477 U.S. at 324, 106 S.Ct. 2548; see also Chanel, Inc. v.

In Witcher, unlike Favors, the Supreme Court was not concerned with a “balancing of rights” but instead based its ruling on the express language of the statute and the obvious intent of the General Assembly. The court thus reasoned that since there was no “conviction” in a case given first offender treatment, the first offender record could not be used to impeach an adverse witness by showing that the witness has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude.

Thus, there is no doubt the Commission understands that its position that no words of advocacy are required in order to support its jurisdiction runs directly counter to Supreme Court precedent. II. In the face of the unequivocal Supreme Court and other authority discussed, an argument such as that made by the FEC in this case, that “no words of advocacy are necessary to expressly advocate the election of a candidate,” simply cannot be advanced in good faith (as the disingenuousness in the FEC’s submissions attests), much less with “substantial justification.” See e.g., Pierce v.

Plaintiff relies instead on a statistical analysis of a company-wide data pool and makes no attempt to narrow the data pool to the locations or specific position in which she worked. As this Court noted in the order denying class certification, the probative value of Plaintiffs statistical evidence is therefore highly questionable, in significant part due to the treatment of factors such as experience, education and specific promotion processes. Cooper v. Southern Company, 205 F.R.D. 596, 613-14 (N.D.Ga.2001). The analytical deficiencies of Plaintiffs statistics diminish the probative value of this evidence such that it cannot by itself support a claim of disparate treatment. See Brown v.

Verizon contends that Fleming first raised HRL and NYCHRL claims in her Amended Complaint and that the three-year period should be measured from the filing of that pleading. According to Verizon, the Amended Complaint cannot relate back because Plaintiffs Title VII claims were time-barred in the Pro Se Complaint. However, the Pro Se Complaint alleges the same “severe scrutiny” that Plaintiff timely sets forth in the Amended Complaint as a continuing violation under Title VII. As such, the Pro Se Complaint was not wholly untimely, and the cases on which Verizon relies are inapposite. See Henderson v. Bolanda, 253 F.3d 928, 932 (7th Cir.2001) (); Papenthien v.

Hartford directs the Court to several cases which it contends support the proposition that a declaratory judgment on the duty to indemnify may be entertained before liability has been determined in the underlying action. The Court has reviewed the cases identified by Hartford and finds them to be distinguishable from the circumstances here.

Dazey, 403 F.3d at 1174; see also Gonzalez-Huerta, 403 F.3d at 736-37. The first two prongs of the plain error standard have been met — there was error and the error was plain. Gonzalez-Huerta, 403 F.3d at 732. However, contrary to Mata’s arguments, the error was “non-constitutional Booker error.” Id. at 731-32 ().

On August 11, 2011, the District Court clarified its May 26, 2011 order and granted Sur-kin’s motion to compel compliance with it. On September 12, 2011, Kelly appealed. II. Discussion A. Jurisdiction Boeing contends that the appeal should be dismissed as untimely because it was filed more than thirty days after the May 26, 2011 order, which dismissed the action with prejudice. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (requiring notice of appeal in civil case to be filed within 30 days of entry of order or judgment being appealed); see also Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 209-10, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007) ().

See generally OCGA § 51-7-40. 3. The appellant further contends that it was immune from liability pursuant to OCGA § 51-7-60 (1), which provides that the owner or operator of a mercantile establishment cannot be held liable for damages for false arrest or false imprisonment “where it is established by competent evidence . . . [t]hat the plaintiff had so conducted himself or behaved in such manner as to cause a man of reasonable prudence to believe . . . at or immediately prior to the time of the detention or arrest [he] was committing the offense of shoplifting. . . .” Cf. Turner v. Bogle, 115 Ga. App. 710, 713 (155 SE2d 667) (1967) ().

Tarrant County Narcotics Unit, 507 U.S. 163, 166, 113 S.Ct. 1160, 122 L.Ed.2d 517 (1993). It appears that the district court also applied state statutory immunities for child abuse investigations to the federal constitutional claims and concluded that the City is immune from a § 1983 action under a state immunity statute. Again, the district court erred. Immunity under § 1983 is governed by federal law; state law cannot provide immunity from suit for federal civil rights violations. Martinez v. California, 444 U.S. 277, 284, 100 S.Ct. 553, 62 L.Ed.2d 481 (1980); Good v. Dauphin County Social Serv., 891 F.2d 1087, 1090-91 (3d Cir.1989) ().

State, 568 So.2d 513 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990) (reversing order revoking probation which relied solely on facts of which testifying witness had no personal knowledge). However, we must also consider the non-hearsay testimony of appellant which relates to the first three scheduled appointments with PMG. See Corona v.

See Tex.Loc.Gov’t Code Ann. § 89.004; Coskey, 247 S.W.3d at 755-56. Moreover, legislative intent to make Section 89.004 jurisdictional could have been provided for by statute in light of the apparent inconsistency between Section 89.0041 and Section 311.034. It is not this Court’s job to insert words in a statute when the word is absent. Laidlaw Waste Sys. (Dallas), Inc. v. City of Wilmer, 904 S.W.2d 656, 659 (Tex.1995). Other courts have followed the same line of reasoning set out in Coskey. See County of Bexar v. Bruton, 256 S.W.3d 345, 349 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2008, no pet.) (); Roccaforte v.

III. DISCUSSION A Title VII Claims 1. DISCRIMINATORY DENIAL OF PROMOTION In an action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the plaintiff can establish a prima facie case of racial discrimination in one of two ways. First, the plaintiff can offer either direct evidence of discrimination or indirect evidence whose cumulative probative force would support to a reasonable probability the inference that “but for” plaintiffs race, she would have been promoted. McDonald v. Santa Fe Trail Transp. Co., 427 U.S. 273, 282 n. 10, 96 S.Ct. 2574, 2580 n. 10, 49 L.Ed.2d 493 (1976) (); see also Lovelace v.

In considering whether plaintiffs may apply the continuing violations doctrine to discrete acts occurring pursuant to a policy of discrimination, the Second Circuit subsequently held that “[discrete acts ..., which fall outside the limitations period, cannot be brought within it, even when undertaken pursuant to a general policy that results in other discrete acts occurring within the limitations period.” Chin v. Port Auth. of N.Y. & N.J., 685 F.3d 135, 157 (2d Cir.2012). Plaintiffs allegations of overtime violations occurring between November 2004 and August 2006 constitute discrete- acts. See, e.g., Consoli v. St. Mary Home/Mercy Cmty. Health, No. 13 Civ. 1791, 2014 WL 3849978, at *4 (D.Conn. Aug. 5, 2014) (); Anderson v. N.Y.C.

This Court refuses to extend the filed rate doctrine to this case, where the utility and certain of its customers are on the same side of the case. The filed rate show their rates, and no utility may “charge, demand, collect or receive from any person a greater or less compensation for any service rendered or to be rendered than that prescribed in its filed schedules.” KRS 278.160; see also Boone County Sand & Gravel Co. v.

United States, 128 F.3d 833, 838-39 (4th Cir.1997); Brookhurst, Inc. v. United rebate refunds as tax amounts that increase a taxpayer’s assessable deficiency). But see Bilzerian, 86 F.3d at 1069 (stating, in dicta, that “once a tax liability is paid, no erroneous refund— whether rebate or non-rebate — can revive it”). This principle has already been applied in this case. The Greers originally paid their 1979-1981 tax liabilities in full; their underpayment for those years was the result of rebate refunds made after they submitted amended returns in 1982 claiming carryback tax benefits from their Madison investment. Those rebate refunds were erroneous because the IRS later disallowed the tax benefits on which they were premised. Cf. Beer, 733 F.2d at 436 ().

The BAP, however, has resolved this question in In re Ellwanger. In that case, the BAP held that under section 523(a)(2), “a wholly private penalty cannot be the basis for a nondischargeability judgment.” Ellwanger v. McBroom (In re Ellwanger), 105 B.R. 551, 555 (9th Cir.BAP 1989). Other bankruptcy courts addressing the issue have generally found that section 523(a)(2) does not bar discharge of punitive damages. See, e.g., Larson v. Norris (In re Larson), 79 B.R. 462 (Bankr.W.D.Mo.1987); Haile v. McDonald (In re McDonald), 73 B.R. 877 (Bankr.N.D.T 428 (9th Cir.1985) (section 523(a)(6) bars discharge of both punitive and actual damages); Brawer v.

It establishes four requirements for a document to serve as a tax return: (1) it must purport to be a return; (2) it must be executed under penalty of perjury;' (3) it must contain sufficient data to allow calculation of tax; and (4) it must represent an honest and reasonable attempt to satisfy the requirements of the tax law. See In re Hindenlang, 164 F.3d 1029, 1033 (6th Cir.1999). Only the fourth prong of the Beard test is at issue in this case: whether Justice’s Forms 1040 represented an honest and reasonable effort to comply with the tax law. At least three other circuit courts have held that delinquency in filing is relevant to the fourth Beard factor. See In re Payne, 431 F.3d 1055, 1057 (7th Cir.2005) ();..

Petitioners suggest that section 58(h) exhibits a clear congressional effort “to apply the tax benefit rule in a broad and comprehensive manner where the application of the minimum tax deprives taxpayers of benefits to which they are otherwise entitled.” Section 301(g) of the 1976 Act provided, however, that section 58(h) was effective only after December 31, 1975. The years for which petitioners were liable for the minimum tax (1972 through 1975) all predate the effective date of section 58(h). See Occidental Petroleum Corp. v. United States, 231 Ct. Cl. 334, 685 F.2d 1346, 1351-1352 (1982) () (hereinafter Occidental I).

However, Glacier Bay is inapplicable. That case involved a lawsuit against the United States alleging negligence in the preparation of nautical charts. Id. at 1449. The plaintiffs in Glacier Bay attempted to assert that the term “third party” as used in section (h) could include the United States, but the Ninth Circuit rejected the argument based on the plain reading of the statute. Id. at 1455. Thus, the holding is simply not relevant to the claims and arguments presented here. S.J. Louis also cites several eases that uphold an owner or operator’s liability for an oil spill under section 1321(b), even where a third party’s “act or omission was the immediate cause of the spill.” E.g., United States v.

The Court finds there is insufficient likelihood of success on the first two claims, but “serious questions” on the merits of the third and fourth claims. 1. Administrative Procedures Act Plaintiffs’ APA claim has little likelihood of success. The APA allows judicial review for persons “suffering legal wrong because of agency action, or adversely affected or aggrieved by agency action,” and defines “agency” as “each authority of the Government of the United States .... ” 5 U.S.C. §§ 701(b)(1), 702. By its own language, the APA does not extend to an entity that is not a federal agency, such as the ABA. See National Wildlife Federation v.

Thus, the court of appeals erred in concluding it was without jurisdiction to hear McLellan’s appeal. IV. Conclusion With respect to the trial court’s denial of Texas A & M’s plea to the jurisdiction, we affirm the portion of the court of appeals’ judgment holding that Koseo-glu’s breach of contract claims against Texas A & M were barred by sovereign immunity. But because Koseoglu’s pleadings are incurably defective, remanding the cause to the trial court will serve no legitimate purpose. Therefore, we reverse the court of appeals’ remand order and dismiss Koseoglu’s claims against Texas A & M with prejudice. See Harris County v. Sykes, 136 S.W.3d 635, 636 (Tex.2004) ().

ASSE is correct that the State Department could fail to meet its burden of demonstrating substantially justified administrative proceedings in the absence of a due process violation. (See Dkt. 54 at 15.) However, the fact that a due process violation has not been definitively found precludes $12,218 U.S. Currency from applying. Furthermore, there is no indication from subsequent cases that $12,218 U.S. Currency establishes a seminal, categorical Ninth Circuit rule for EAJA fees. Rather, that statement has only been cited twice. All three cases—$12,218 U.S. Currency and its two citations—presented particularly egregious due process violations.

He also argues that his right to liberty protects him from being compelled to contract with an attorney. We are unaware of any U.S. Constitutional decision that declares citizens to have a right to self-representation in civil proceedings. Yet, arguing against such a right is nearly frivolous. See Haines v.

Thus, appellant purchased, and personally possessed upon its receipt, at least a quarter of a kilogram of crack each week, which amounts to at least 13 kilograms of crack for the year. It is well settled that the possession of drugs in a quantity “greater than the supply ordinarily possessed by a narcotics user for his personal use, is a circumstance which, standing alone, may be sufficient to support a finding of intent to distribute.” Hunter v. Commonwealth, 213 Va. 569, 570, 193 S.E.2d 779, 780 (1973). Appellant’s possession of 13 kilograms of crack over the course of a year is certainly sufficient to infer he intended to distribute it. See, e.g., Gregory v. Commonwealth, 22 Va.App. 100, 110, 468 S.E.2d 117, 122 (1996) ().

See D. Wilson Constr., 196 S.W.3d at 781; Teal Constr., 46 S.W.3d at 420. Also contrary to the trial court’s conclusion, there is no requirement that the incorporated document containing the arbitration clause must necessarily be attached to the contract for the clause to be enforceable. We recognize that neither court in the above-cited eases specifically addressed that question. See D. Wilson Constr., 196 S.W.3d at 781; Teal Constr., 46 S.W.3d at 420. However, the absence of any such discussion suggests that whether the document was attached was not dispositive. See D. Wilson Constr., 196 S.W.3d at 781; Teal Constr., 46 S.W.3d at 420; see also In re Raymond James & Assocs., Inc., 196 S.W.3d 311, 319 (Tex.App. — Houston [1st Dist.] 2006, orig. proceeding) ().

It would make little sense to require the trial court to invite and consider objections from shareholders, but then prevent objecting shareholders from appealing the trial court’s decision to deny their objections and approve the settlement. Kaplan, 192 F.3d at 67. Moreover, requiring an objector to intervene in the litigation in order to appeal the trial court’s denial of his objection would create “more work for all involved with no corresponding benefit.” City of San Benito, 109 S.W.3d at 755; see also Devlin, 536 U.S. at 8, 122 S.Ct. 2005 ().

As one treatise states: “[I]ndividual actions or a test case may be an inferior alternative to the class action when the economics of the situation make it impossible for the aggrieved members to vindicate their rights by separate actions.” 7A Wright, Miller & Kane, Federal Practice & Procedure § 1778 (Supp.1983). See Riley, supra, 61 N.J. at 225 [294 A.2d 7]. In a case in which the proofs regarding the defendant’s conduct will be identical whether or not a class action is certified, and the maintenance of a test case may be prohibitively expensive for an individual consumer, the class action emerges as the superior method of adjudication. See Werfel v. Kramarsky, 61 F.R.D. 674 (S.D.N.Y.1974) ().

United States, 400 U.S. 517, 531, 91 S.Ct. 534, 542, 27 L.Ed.2d 580 (1971). In defining the contours of a “significantly protectable” legal interest under Rule 24(a)(2), we have held that, ‘“the interest must be a legal interest as distinguished from interests of a general and indefinite character.’ * * * The applicant must demonstrate that there is a tangible threat to a legally cognizable interest to have the right to intervene.” Harris, 820 F.2d at 601 (citations omitted).

The Supreme Court ruled only on that issue. See Haddle, 525 U.S. at 126, 119 S.Ct. 489. The Eleventh Circuit had already previously rejected the intracorporate conspiracy doctrine. Because the intracorporate conspiracy doctrine was not before the Supreme Court, it would be a mistake to draw any inference from the Court’s silence on the issue. See United States v. Stewart, 650 F.2d 178, 180 (9th Cir.1981); National Electrical Contractors Association v. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, 632 F.Supp. 1403, 1414 (E.D.Cal.1986), aff'd, 888 F.2d 604 (9th Cir.1989).

The district court assumed “technically correct,” however, the Porters’ argument that Wyner did not make resort to the CRP obligatory but rather held only “that issues of non-compliance with an SEHO order may be brought before the [CRP].” Porter, 123 F.Supp.2d at 1196 (emphasis in original).

Both reports identify purported similari ties between the structure and rhyme scheme of the Steele Song and the Bon Jovi Song. Even assuming those individuals are qualified to render opinions on the subject, their conclusions do not create a genuine issue of material fact concerning substantial similarity.

We do not, however, accept that the phrase “any and all” gives the Coast Guard carte blanche authority to engage in forcible evacuations in less than life-threatening emergencies. A forcible evacuation from a private vessel constitutes a seizure of the person. Under the circumstances, the body of case law developed under the “emergency aid” exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement both lends support for evacuation authority and cabins it. That exception requires an objectively reasonable belief by safety officers that a true emergency exists and there is an immediate need for assistance or aid. See, e.g., McCabe v.

By modern times the record keeping practices of the clerks offices had, with predictable idiosyncratic exceptions, crystallized into a general pattern for closed criminal cases. Closed criminal case files were referenced in docket sheets; the docket numbers for these cases were assigned in various inconsistent and changing ways over the years but were largely in chronological order; the docket sheets for the cases were gathered together in chronological order in docket books.... All of the relevant documents ... were open to the public. Globe Newspaper Co. v. Fenton, 819 F.Supp. 89, 92-93 (D.Mass.1993). This basic pattern was characteristic of many other jurisdictions.

We agree with the IJ that these incidents do not rise to the level of persecution. “Although persecution is not defined in the INA, we have held that a finding of persecution requires the infliction of suffering or harm upon those who differ (in race, religion, or political opinion) in a way regarded as offensive and must entail more than just restrictions or threats to life and liberty.” [Wiransane, 366 F.3d at 893] (internal quotation omitted).

Although Defendants ask the Court to consider online deception an innocent peccadillo or even a positive good, that is not the view of this statute, which is particularly aimed at deception. Nor is it appropriate for reasons of policy. Deception, even where it is not criminal, is neither innocent nor worthy of any constitutional protection — particularly in the commercial context. See BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559, 576, 116 S.Ct. 1589, 134 L.Ed.2d 809 (1996) (). See also Bates v.

If I were to conclude that the General Assembly intended for the word “outweigh,” as used in the Law, to refer to the lowest possible burden of proof, then I also would have to conclude that the General Assembly intended to deprive accused persons of a fundamental right without due process. As explained, I must presume that the legislature’s intent was otherwise because, quite simply, where fundamental rights are involved, the lowest burden of proof does not suffice to afford due process.

We have repeatedly emphasized, however, that a bankruptcy court may not exercise its “broad equitable powers” under § 105(a) “ ‘in a manner that is inconsistent with the other, more specific provisions of the [Bankruptcy] Code.’ ” In re Frieouf, 938 F.2d 1099, 1103 n. 4 (10th Cir.1991) (quoting In re Western Real Estate Fund, Inc., 922 F.2d at 601). In other words, a bankruptcy court’s exercise of its authority under § 105(a) may not contravene or disregard the plain language of a statute.

Both parties filed memoranda of law, and the trial court entered a judgment granting the County’s motion to dismiss on 25 June 2008. In that judgment, the court analyzed whether Section 260.247 applied to the County’s actions, determined it did not, and held that Haulers had failed to state a claim. Haulers appeal. Jurisdiction Writ of Mandamus The parties dispute the threshold question of whether this Court has jurisdiction to review the denial of Haulers’ petition for a writ of mandamus. The general rule is that no appeal lies from the dismissal or the denial of a petition for writ of mandamus. See Harkins v. Mitchell, 911 S.W.2d 689, 690 (Mo.App. E.D.1995) (); State ex rel.

The federal rule, Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(h)(3), is to the same effect. Under this rule, either the court or any party may raise an issue of subject-matter jurisdiction at any time, and the Eleventh Amendment is regarded, at least for this purpose, as going to subject-matter jurisdiction.

Emanuel, 412 So.2d at 1189. ¶ 62. The State stresses that the record reflects that a competency hearing was held on April 3, 1998. Dr. Lott testified that he had interviewed Snow on September 12, and September 21, 1997 and was of the opinion that Snow was competent to stand trial. Dr. Lott also stated that, in addition to the ability to confer with his attorneys, Snow had a working knowledge of the legal process and exhibited “street savvy.” He testified that Snow understood that he faced charges of capital murder and escape and also understood how the trial would work. Finally, Snow told Dr. Lott that he trusted and could work with his attorneys. ¶ 63. The State submits that Snow did not in any way refute the finding by Dr. Lott. See generally Evans v.

Similar to the case at hand, the Grotemeyer concluded that even a juror’s specialized professional training is not beyond the bounds of permissible personal experience. Id. at 878, 880. Specifically, the court held that the opinions of a jury foreman, who was a physician, that defendant was mentally ill and would receive treatment as part of a sentence was not extraneous information. See also Crawford v.

These allegedly defamatory remarks arose out of Director Brown’s handling of the plaintiffs’ discipline following an internal investigation designating them responsible (in part) for the jail break. “A supervisor’s explanation of his handling of adverse employment actions, even if made outside the formal process, falls within the scope of the CMPA because the explanation relates to a ‘personnel issue.’ ” Sanders, 16 F.Supp.2d at 15 (discussing and quoting Stockard v. Moss, 706 A.2d 561, 565 (D.C.1997)). They fall strictly within the employment adverse action context contemplated by the CMPA. The latter’s remedies are, therefore, exclusive. See Sanders v. Dist. of Columbia, 16 F.Supp.2d 10, 12-15 (D.D.C.1998); Johnson, 368 F.Supp.2d at 47 ().

AFFIRMED. * Lomax also appeals the district court’s enhancement of his sentence under the armed career criminal provision of 18 U.S.C. § 924(e), claiming that the application of § 924(e) violated Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), because his prior convictions were not alleged in his indictment. Lomax's contention is without merit because Apprendi expressly excluded prior convictions from its holding. Apprendi, 530 U.S. at 490, 120 S.Ct. 2348; see also, e.g., United States v.

In Jackson, the Court approved of the detention of a criminal defendant deemed incompetent, but limited that detention to “the reasonable period of time necessary to determine whether there is a substantial probability that he will attain that capacity in the foreseeable future.” 406 U.S. at 738. In Medina, the Court held that a state may, consistent with the Due Process Clause, impose on the defendant the burden of showing, by a preponderance of the evidence, a lack of competency. 505 U.S. at 439, 450-51; cf.

But the court did not say that expressly, and neither did the testimony. All that Mara-diaga said was that Moon found the gun “on top of the refrigerator,” App. 102; Moon did not himself testify. Moreover, although there was evidence that the apartment was small and that the kitchen was “adjacent” to the dining room, there were no findings or testimony regarding the details of the apartment’s layout: we do not know how far it was from the dining room table to the kitchen’s threshold or how far it was from that threshold to the refrigerator. Nor do we know whether the path to either location was direct or obstructed. Nor — because we do not know how, or how well, s v. Allen, 159 F.3d 832, 839-40 (4th Cir.1998) ().

Watson, 423 U.S. 411, 424, 96 S.Ct. 820, 46 L.Ed.2d 598 (1976)). Here, Agent Blanco’s testimony contradicted Merced-Morales’ allegation of being coerced and held at gunpoint. The trial court observed both witnesses and determined that Agent Blanco’s testimony was more credible. Where, as here, “there are two competing interpretations of the evidence, the district court’s choice of one of them cannot be clearly erroneous.” United States v. Cruz Jiménez, 894 F.2d 1, 7 (1st Cir.1990); see also United States v. Zapata, 18 F.3d 971, 974 (1st Cir.1994) ().

On the other hand, consent to jurisdiction sometimes occurs unwillingly or even inadvertently. As the Court wrote in Insurance Corp. of Ireland, “[a] variety of legal arrangements have been taken to represent e e as they may appear. We have held that a party who files a compulsory counterclaim under Rule 13(a) does not thereby waive any jurisdictional defenses he has previously or concurrently asserted, Dragor Shipping Corp. v.

But the consequences of imposing Appellant’s duty on the public— including customers laundering bar rags in a public laundromat — based on the instant record, is less clear. Appellant has not referred us to anything in the record substantiating its bald claim that the public consequences are “modest.” Cf. Thierfelder, 617 Pa. at 337-38, 52 A.3d at 1277; Althaus, 562 Pa. at 555, 756 A.2d at 1170. We are, therefore, reluctant to render a social policy judgment and impose a Commonwealth-wide duty based solely on Appellant’s unsupported characterization of the burden on the public. Cf. Seebold, 618 Pa. at 653, 57 A.3d at 1245. We are in accord with the trial court’s holding. See Trial Ct. Op. at 9-10; see also Seebold, 618 Pa. at 650, 57 A.3d at 1243 ().

Second, we reject the notion that § 12-613’s “fair and just” damages provision mandates greater deference to juries in wrongful death cases than in personal injury actions. The standard for remittitur is the same in wrongful death and personal injury cases. See, e.g., Alires v. S. Pac. Co., 100 Ariz. 6, 14, 409 P.2d 714 (1966) (); cf. Begay v.

Id. at 1241. The Superior Court also determined that Appellant was not entitled to withdraw his plea even though he and the trial court may have been under a mistaken impression as to the length of Appellant’s registration obligation. The court based its determination on the conclusion that the registration requirements of Megan’s Law are a collateral as opposed to a direct consequence of the criminal conviction. The court noted that this Court has consistently held that a defendant’s lack of knowledge of collateral consequences to the entry of a guilty plea does not render a plea unknowing or involuntary. Commonwealth v. Leidig, 850 A.2d 743, 746 (Pa.Super.2004) (citing Commonwealth v. Frometa, 520 Pa. 552, 555 A.2d 92 (1989) (); and Commonwealth v.

Defendant’s argument that the belated disclosure of the documents prejudiced the entire defense, including voir dire and the opening statement is meritless. First, Defendant presents his argument on this issue in a perfunctory manner, providing no explanation of how the disclosed material would have altered his defense. Second, the pertinent information in the disclosed documents was, for the most part, already available to Defendant. See Bagley, 473 U.S. at 676, 105 S.Ct. 3375 ().

Thus, any statutory ambiguity as to whether the State can enforce a warrant against the Tribe should be read to protect Indian sovereignty. Reading the plain language of the statute and applying long-established canons of construction relevant to Indian law cases, the United States Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit have interpreted Public Law 280 to extend jurisdiction to individual Indians and not to Indian tribes. See Id. at 389, 96 S.Ct. 2102 (interpreting Public Law 280 and observing that “the 1, 211-12, 98 S.Ct. 1011, 55 L.Ed.2d 209 (1978) ().

Because the 133$ percent schedule would also prevent a plan from ever increasing benefits for all employees by more than one-third of the value of the original benefits, the schedule provides that “any amendment to the plan which is in effect for the current year shall be treated as in effect for all other plan years” and that “any change in an accrual rate which does not apply to any individual who is or could be a participant in the current year shall be disregarded.” Id. Thus, in determining whether a new benefit formula violates the 133$ percent rule, one does not compare the new formula with the old formula; rather, the backload-ing question must be answered by considering the new formula on a stand-alone basis.

As we must remand the case for resentencing on count 4, see supra Part III(B), we do not address any sentencing arguments specific to that count. 1. Booker. The appellants’ most pervasive sentencing theme posits that resen-tencing is required in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Booker, — U.S. -, -, 125 S.Ct. 738, 756, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005) (). As none of the appellants preserved the issue ### Response: holding unconstitutional the mandatory application of the federal sentencing guidelines " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: The statute further requires that the diagnosis of psychological injury “must be made by a psychologist, or psychiatrist duly licensed to practice in the jurisdiction in which treatment is rendered____” I.C. § 72-451(5). Idaho Code § 72-714 governs hearings in the Industrial Commission. Sub-seetion (3) provides that “[t]he commission, or member thereof, or a hearing officer, referee or examiner, to whom the matter has been assigned, shall make such inquiries and investigations as may be deemed necessary.” I.C. § 72-714(3). This Court has interpreted this statute as permitting the Commission to demand additional evidence if it finds that satisfactory evidence on a question of material fact is lacking. See, e.g., Hartman v. Double L Mfg., 141 Idaho 456, 458, 111 P.3d 141, 143 (2005) (); Lay v. Idaho State Seh. & Colony, 64 Idaho ### Response: holding that statute grants the commission the authority to request that the parties present adequate evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is akin to the private interests in Mitchell and Fuentes. In those cases, a creditor alleged an interest in the delinquent debtor’s property and wished to freeze that property before the parties’ rights could be adjudicated. See Mitchell v. W.T. Grant Co., 416 U.S. 600, 601-02, 94 S.Ct. 1895, 1897, 40 L.Ed.2d 406 (1974); Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67, 69-70, 92 S.Ct. 1983, 1988-89, 32 L.Ed.2d 556 (1972). The only difference here is that the Government, rather than a private creditor, asserts the interest. In both Mitchell and Fuentes, the Court noted that, even though the status of the property was contested, the defendant retained an interest, and due process therefore required a prompt hearing on the propriety of the deprivation. Mitchell, 416 U.S. at 606-07, 94 S.Ct. at 1899-1900 (); Fuentes, 407 U.S. at 81-82, 92 S.Ct. at ### Response: holding that a statute entitling the defendant to an immediate hearing following issuance of a writ of sequestration effected a constitutional accommodation of the conflicting interests of the parties " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “narrowly tailored” when it does not “burden substantially more speech than is necessary to further the government’s legitimate interests.” Ward v.

As a threshold matter, Appellants do not appear to dispute the District’s substantial interest in promoting the tourism industry and economy. The District attracts approximately fifteen million visitors each year and supports more than 66,000 tourism-related, full-time jobs, which generate some $2.6 billion in wages. See Edwards, 765 F.Supp.2d at 18. Undoubtedly, promoting a major industry that contributes to the economic vitality of the District is a substantial government interest. See Smith v. City of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., 177 F.3d 954, 955-56 (11th Cir.1999) (); Ctr. for Bio-Ethical Reform, Inc. v.

However, Rule 15.03 requires more than simply showing that the potential new defendant had been made sufficiently aware of the commencement of the action. “The second requirement is that each potential new party must have known that but for a misnomer or mistake concerning his or her identity, the action would have been brought against him or her.” Rainey Bros. Constr. Co. v. Memphis & Shelby County Bd. of Adjustment, 821 S.W.2d 938, 941 (Tenn.Ct.App.1991) (citing Lease v. Tipton, 722 S.W.2d 379, 380 (Tenn.1986)). “A ‘mistake’ within the meaning of this rule does not exist merely because a party who may be hable for conduct alleged in the original complaint was omitted as a party defendant.” Smith, 776 S.W.2d at 109; see also Lease, 722 S.W.2d at 380 (). It is the plaintiff that has the burden of ### Response: holding that plaintiffs motion to amend her complaint to add her husband as a defendant did not relate back because her failure to sue her husband was not due to misnomer or mistake involving the identity of the proper party but because the law at the time of the complaint did not allow one spouse to sue another in tort " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: any sort of overall check on the garnett machine.”). Even if InsulVail owed Charter a tort duty to install the insulation so as not to isolate the wet sprinkler system from heat, as we explained previously, Mid-Century has failed to show in the appellate record any breach of that duty caused the damage here. b. Duty to report or replace preexisting insulation that had fallen InsulVail did not have a duty to report or replace preexisting insulation that had fallen. Failure to report or replace amounts to nonfeasance. Courts have been reluctant to impose liability in cases of nonfeasance. See, e.g., Univ. of Denver v. Whitlock, 744 P.2d 54, 57 (Colo.1987) (en banc). No special relationship exists between InsulVail and Charter that would give rise to a duty. See Lewis, 25 P.3d at 1256 (). Further, the contract between Charter and ### Response: holding a plumbercustomer relationship is not special for nonfeasance duty purposes " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to all of the Generic Manufacturers. In order for this theory to work, we would have to interpret the complaint as alleging: (1) the plaintiff ingested every single generic version of propoxyphene available, (2) every single generic version of propoxyphene contributed to the plaintiffs injuries, and (3) points (1) and (2) are true with respect to each of the plaintiffs in this case. Common sense suggests that Plaintiffs never meant to allege this scenario. Beyond the complaints’ failure to identify the responsible defendant, it falls short for another reason. Under Iqbal, “eonclu-sory statements” or “naked assertions devoid of further factual enhancement” do not insulate a complaint from a motion to dis ll Atlantic conspired with its competitors, see 550 U.S. at 557, 127 S.Ct. 1955 ().

Without specifying a time frame, Kenneth's evidence implies that much of the work he did to address the mold problem predated the separation.

If the audio recordings are not admitted into evidence, the State will have to rely for its proof on the transcribed deposition of a codefendant who was murdered eight days after giving his deposition to Mr. Morgan’s attorney. The trial court has ruled that this deposition is admissible in evidence and that it may be read into the record at Mr. Morgan’s second trial. However, absent the audio recordings, the deposition testimony of the eodefendant will be substantially uncorroborated. Under these circumstances, we conclude that this is a case where certiora-ri review is “an apt remedy.” Pettis, 520 So.2d at 253; see also State v. Rolack, 104 So.3d 1286 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013) (). IV.

Notwithstanding that conclusion, we remanded the case to the environmental court so that it . could consider, in the first instance, Nowicki’s argument that the right-of-way between 76 and 84 Elm Street effectively separated the parcels, preventing the merger that otherwise took place by operation of law in 1981.

California courts generally hold that the appropriate measure of damages for construction contracts is cost of repair. See Kitchel v. Acree, 216 Cal.App.2d at 123, 30 Cal.Rptr. 714 (); Jones v.

If the Debtors cannot do so, the Court will grant the Movants relief from the stay as to the Bowdon and Ocala Premises following a further hearing to be held in these cases on the basis that the Bowdon and Ocala Premises are not necessary for an effective reorganization. The Court will also exercise its discretion to condition the continuation of the automatic stay with regard to the Bowdon and Ocala Premises on the Debtors’ setting aside an amount sufficient to account for the likelihood that, regardless of what the State Court decides, the Debtors will owe to some entity administrative rent for the post-petition use of the Bowdon and Ocala Premises. See 11 U.S.C. § 503(b)(1)(A); see also In re Greenfield Dry Cleaning & Laundry, Inc., 249 B.R. 634, 644-45 (Bankr.E.D.Pa.2000) (); In re Hawker Beechcraft, Inc., 483 B.R. 424, ### Response: holding that licensor was entitled to administrative expense priority claim where debtor remained in possession postpetition of real property under a license agreement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: indicate that the named owner of the certificate of deposit may have transferred it to a third party.” Id. Clearly, the principal reason the bank required Brier’s possession of the CD as a precondition to payment was to protect itself from claims asserted by potential third-party transferees of the CD. But “[n]o such protection would be necessary if the certificate were not * * * transferable.” Id. For this reason, we hold, the bank, by expressly incorporating the holder’s possession and endorsement as a precondition to payment, implicitly recognized that Brier’s CD was indeed “of a type” that was transferable in the ordinary course of business, notwithstanding the “nontransferable” legend.

We are left with a situation in which the putatively excludable period quite obviously did not preclude the government from proceeding to file the indictment, raising the question whether the delay in doing so “resulted] from” the pendency of the certiorari petition. Whether the time period used in pursuing an interlocutory appeal is automatically excludable under § 3161(h)(1)(E), even if the appeal did not actually cause any delay, is an open issue in this court, but just barely so. Applying parallel “delay resulting from” language, we have held that pretrial motions, excludable under § 3161(h)(1)(F) of the STA, need not actually cause any delay for the time during which the motions are pending to be ex-cludable. See United States v. Vo, 413 F.3d 1010, 1015 (9th Cir.2005) () (quotation marks and internal citations ### Response: holding that a pretrial motion triggers an automatic exclusion under 3161h1f even though no actual delay results " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: mentioned one doctor but not the other, and both doctors asserted that the report was “so deficient that it [did] not constitute an expert report.” Id.

Such decisions make clear that inmates do not forfeit their free exercise rights when the burden on their religious practice results from discipline imposed for violating prison rules. Of course, McEachin does not allege that his free exercise rights were infringed in the course of legitimate disciplinary measures. He claims that he was disciplined for failing to obey an order expressly given to him by a corrections officer who knew that completion of the task would require plaintiff to abandon religious prayers in which he was then engaged. Precedent' suggests that inmates have a right not to be disciplined for refusing to perform tasks that violate then-religious beliefs. See, e.g., Hayes v. Long, 72 F.3d 70 (8th Cir.1995) (). B.

In Scott v. State, 272 Ark. 88, 92-93, 612 S.W.2d 110, 112-13 (1981), the Arkansas Supreme Court stated: There has traditionally been an exception to the right of confrontation where a witness who testified at a prior trial is unavailable at a later judicial proceeding. State evidentiary rules can fall within this exception if two tests are met. First, the witness must be “unavailable”.... Next, the evidence must be reliable.... [A]dmission depends upon the circumstances surrounding the hearing. In the case of a preliminary hearing admission depends upon what kind of hearing is involved and whether it is a “full fledged” hearing or a limited one. (Citations omitted.) Compare Hamblen v.

The determination that JSG is likely to succeed on its breach of contract claim is sufficient to support a preliminary injunction. 5 . After considering the relevant factors, the court concludes that a bond in the amount of $25,000 is proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. This bond is lower than might otherwise be required because the duration of the preliminary injunction is limited in several respects. If France can show, however, that the bond should be increased, she may move separately for appropriate relief. See, e.g., Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. v.

Gen.Stat. § 143-422.2 (2001) (); S.C.Code Ann. §§ 1-13-90, -100 (2005) ### Response: recognizing a public policy against discrimination but not providing for an independent 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: her ex-husband’s $8,000 interest in her pension plan should be discharged in her bankruptcy proceeding. B. Application of Persuasive Caselaw to the Case at Bar In granting summary judgment for Husband, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that, although payment of pension proceeds would occur in the future (at retirement), a property interest was transferred by force of the August, 1992 Order and, as such, Husband’s interest was not a “debt” subject to discharge under 11 U.S.C.A. § 523. The case-law cited above, although not controlling on this Court, is persuasive ng that state divorce judgment awarding debtor's wife 38% of husband’s military retirement pension granted the wife a nondischargeable property interest in that portion of the pension), Williams v. Califf, 195 B.R. 499 (N.D.Ala.1996) (); Walston v. Walston, 190 B.R. 66 ### Response: holding that exwifes interest in debtors retirement income was her sole and separate property and was therefore not subject to chapter 7 discharge " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: stated in the invitation for bids. It relies on the following statutory language: Bids shall be evaluated based on the requirements set forth in the invitation for bids, which requirements may include criteria to determine acceptability such as inspection, testing, quality, workmanship, delivery and suitability for a particular purpose. Those criteria such as discounts, transportation costs and total or life-cycle costs that will affect the bid price shall be objectively measurable, which shall be defined by regulation. The invitation for bids shall set forth the evaluation criteria to be used. No criteria may be used in bid evaluation that are not set forth in the invitation for bids. Section 13-1-105. It further relies on Planning & Design Solutions, 118 N.M. at 712, 885 P.2d at 633 (). {26} However, the statutory requirement that ### Response: holding city violated procurement code by improperly adding to evaluation criteria after receiving bids the factor that local firms would be favored " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: X (""The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”). 4 . The court's cursory review of the dockets of the suits and appeals filed by plaintiff in federal court did not reveal any other dismissals pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). 5 . While the Court of Federal Claims is not generally considered to be a ""court of the United States” within the meaning of title 28 of the United States Code, the court has jurisdiction to grant or deny applications to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 2503(d) (deeming the Court of Federal Claims to be ""a court of the United States"" for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915); see also Matthews v. United States, 72 Fed.Cl. 274, 277-78 (2006) ### Response: recognizing that congress enacted the court of federal claims technical and procedural improvements act of 1992 authorizing the court to among other things adjudicate applications to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 usc 1915 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: improper because the appeal procedure of Section 2451 is the exclusive means of contesting the validity of school district expenditures. However, Bennett asserts that an appeal under Section 2451 is not the exclusive remedy because the auditors failed to recognize “hidden expenses” for the “dugouts” project. Bennett claims these missed expenditures caused the auditors to overlook the bidding requirements of Section 751 of the Code, 24 P.S. § 7-751. Under Section 751(a), a school board must open to public bidding any construction or maintenance project on A.2d 904 (1980) (concluding that a township supervisor’s exclusive remedy was to file an appeal to the township auditors’ report within the statutory appeal period of 45 days); Gribble v.

McAllister, 77 F.3d at 389-90 n. 4. On numerous occasions, we have held that McAllister has not been overruled or called into question by subsequent Supreme Court decisions. See United States v. Scott, 263 F.3d 1270, 1271, 1273-74 (11th Cir.2001) (reaffirming our holding that § 922(g) is constitutional under Congress’s Commerce Clause power, and stating that “nothing in Morrison or Jones [v.

Combined Transport appealed and the Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that the trial court had erred in excluding the evidence of Clemmer’s intoxication. The Court of Appeals held that that evidence was relevant to two issues: “Although Clemmer admitted that she was negligent, the jury was required to consider evidence of the circumstances relating to the accident to determine whether Combined Transport’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing decedent’s death and, if so, to apportion fault between defendants. Clemmer’s intoxication was relevant to those determinations. See Lyons v. Walsh & Sons Trucking Co., Ltd., 183 Or App 76, 84, 51 P3d 625 (2002), aff'd, 337 Or 319, 96 P3d 1215 (2004) ().

See Hudson, 468 U.S. at 533. Illinois courts have created a common-law right for property owners who did not receive notice as re e exists, nor does he contend that it is an inadequate remedy. In fact, Robinson even attempted to avail himself of the remedy by filing a motion to vacate with the court that presided over his dismissed criminal charges. The fact that Robinson’s attempt was unsuccessful does not establish that the motion to vacate is inadequate to protect his right to due process. See Galdikas v. Fagan, 342 F.3d 684, 693 n.5 (7th Cir.2003) (citing plaintiffs’ state lawsuit as proof of the adequacy of postdeprivation remedies); Hamlin, 95 F.3d at 585 ().

Assuming, arguendo, that Plaintiffs allegation is true, accrual of his claims would be postponed by the accrual suspension rule. The District Court, however, issued its Opinion on June 29, 1990. Lewis I, 1990 WL 454624, at *1. Therefore, even if the Government concealed the fact that Plaintiff was discharged under a clemency regulation, Plaintiff should have known of the facts giving rise to his claim by June 29, 1990. See Ingram v. United States, 560 F.3d 1311, 1314-15 (Fed.Cir.2009) (“[A] plaintiffs ignorance of a claim that he should have been aware of is not enough to suspend the accrual of a claim.”) (citation omitted); see also Catawba Indian Tribe, 982 F.2d at 1572 (); Young, 529 F.3d at 1385 (It is a “Plaintiffs ### Response: holding that ignorance or misunderstanding of the law would not toll the running of 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: August 17, 1992. (Proposed Pretrial Order, p. 6, ¶ 3). The court accepts this contention as true. Boeing argues that because plaintiff filed her administrative sex discrimination claim in August 1992, any allegedly discriminatoiy conduct, in order to be actionable, must have occurred within the 300-day period immediately preceding August 1992. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e). According 705 (10th Cir.1992) (“If the plaintiff establishes a pattern of continuing discrimination beginning before the [applicable statutory] period and extending into that period, the plaintiff may recover for those earlier acts.”). It does not make actionable an “isolated” or “unrelated” incident of discrimination that occurred outside that period. Allen v. Denver Public School Bd., 928 F.2d 978, 984 (10th Cir.1991) (); Gray v. Phillips Petroleum Co., 858 F.2d 610, ### Response: holding that because nonpromotion claim involved an event unrelated to other alleged violations and occurred outside the statutory period it was prohibited as untimely " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: this court should remand for a new trial on damages only. We agree that damages, if any, arising from Ms. Wilson’s bad faith claim should have been considered by the jury as a part of damages incurred by St. Paul as a result of Mr. Martin’s and Club Services’ negligence. The district court relied primarily on two cases establishing that, in Oklahoma, agents like Mr. Martin and Club Services cannot be hable for breach of the covenant of fair dealing. See Hays v. Jackson Nat’l Life Ins. Co., 105 F.3d 583, 590 (10th Cir.1997) (“Under Oklahoma law, the alleged knowledge and acts of the agent at the time of the application [are] not imputed to the principal for purposes of determining whether the principal acted in bad faith.”); Timmons v. Royal Globe Ins. Co., 653 P.2d 907, 912 (Okla.1982) ().

Zahn v. International Paper Co., 414 U.S. 291, 301, 94 S.Ct. 505, 512, 38 L.Ed.2d 511 (1973); Snyder v. Harris, 394 U.S. 332, 338, 89 S.Ct. 1053, 1057-58, 22 L.Ed.2d 319 (1969). But, plaintiffs no longer have to comply with the Zahn rule because Zahn was effectively overruled by 28 U.S.C. § 1367. Only the named plaintiff must satisfy the jurisdictional amount in controversy requirement. Although the Third Circuit has not yet addressed the issue, see, e.g., Packard, 994 F.2d at 1045-46 n. 9, a plain reading of section 1367(a) clearly permits the exercise of supplemental jurisdiction over class plaintiffs’ claims that do not meet the amount in controversy requirement. See In re Abbott Labs., 51 F.3d 524, 529 (5th Cir.1995) (); Deep v. Manufacturers Life Ins. Co., 944 ### Response: holding that a plain reading of section 1367 overrules zahn " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: VII). Like Primeaux II, in the present case, we need not decide outh Dakota. See Brown, 949 F.2d at 1012 n. 7 (“[u]nder the FTCA, the law of the place of the alleged tort governs the scope-of-employment question”). Under South Dakota law, the scope of employment inquiry is based upon a foreseeability test that evaluates whether a sufficient nexus exists “between the agent's employment and the activity which actually caused the injury.” Leafgreen v. American Family Mutual Insurance Co., 393 N.W.2d 275, 280 (S.D.1986) (Leafgreen). In addition, South Dakota has adopted the Restatement (Second) of Agency (1958), including § 229, which focuses on the relationship of the employee’s conduct to the employer’s business. See Deuchar v. Foland Ranch, Inc., 410 N.W.2d 177, 180 (S.D.1987) (Deuchar) (). The Restatement also provides a list of ### Response: holding that south dakota is guided by the principles articulated in the restatement second of agency including 229 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of patriotic or political importance, it is understood that: the reasonable observer will see one religious code placed alongside ... political or patriotic documents, and will understand that the [government actor] pro-motets] that one religious code as being on a par with our nation’s most cherished secular symbols and documents.

Thus, this Court has condemned transparent attempts to “secularize” displays of the Ten Commandments by surrounding them with other patriotic documents and symbols. McCreary County, 354 F.3d at 460 (citing Indiana Civil Liberties Union v. O’Bannon, 259 F.3d 766, 773 (7th Cir.2001) ()).

As explained earlier in this ruling, a demand is not the same as an entitlement. See supra Section I.A.2. Even if plaintiff s demand represented a genuine obligation of the government, the failure to pay such a monetary obligation would not amount to a taking. Cf. Adams v. United States, No. 00-447C, 2003 WL 22339164, at *8 (Fed.Cl. Aug. 11, 2003) (explaining that plaintiffs statutory right to underpaid overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act is not a property interest for purposes of the Takings clause, but rather an ordinary obligation to pay money under a compensation statute), aff'd, 391 F.3d 1212, 1220, 1224 (Fed.Cir.2004); Kitt v.

Stokley, 881 F.2d 114, 116 (4th Cir.1989) (“In the absence of a contrary indication, the court must assume the drafters of a statute intended to convey the ordinary meaning attached to the language.”). If the plain language of the statute is ambiguous, then a court may look beyond the plain language to the legislative history for guidance. See United States v. Southern Management Corp., 955 F.2d 914, 920 (4th Cir.1992) ().

See, e.g., Calisto, 838 F.2d at 714-15. In determining whether the omission was critical to the finding of probable cause, however, a court must decide if probable cause would have existed had the omitted information been disclosed. United States v. Frost, 999 F.2d 737, 743 (3d Cir.1993); Calisto, 838 F.2d at 715. Probable cause for a search warrant exists when the totality of the affidavit demonstrates “a fair probability that contraband or evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place.” Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 238, 103 S.Ct. 2317, 76 L.Ed.2d 527 (1983); see also United States v. Jones, 994 F.2d 1051, 1056 (3d Cir.1993) ().

Kern River Gas Transmission Co., 1997 WL 804238, *3, 1997 Tex.App. LEXIS 6685, *8 (addressing Utah law on issue). We believe the standard relied upon in these cases is correct, and we formally adopt the same. Elaboration on the contours of the standard is needed, however. ¶ 19 Under the “active participation” standard, a principal employer is subject to liability for injuries arising out of its independent contractor’s work if the employer is actively involved in, or asserts control over, the manner of performance of the contracted work.

Defendants argue that the survey evidence is barred pursuant to Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 113 S.Ct. 2786, 125 L.Ed.2d 469 (1993), and the Federal Rules of Evidence 403, 702, and 703. The court has reviewed Dr. Reisetter's survey and Defendants’ arguments against admissibility, and finds that the survey is sufficiently relevant and reliable to warrant consideration. See, e.g., Indianapolis Colts, Inc. v. Metro. Balt. Football Club Ltd. P'ship, 34 F.3d 410, 416 (7th Cir.1994) (); Mobil Oil Corp. v.

See id. at 577, 92 S.Ct. 2701; Rowe, 938 S.W.2d at 354. Instead, property interests are created and defined by “rules or mutually explicit understandings that support [an individual’s] claim of entitlement to the benefit and that he may invoke at a hearing.” Perry v. Sindermann, 408 U.S. 593, 601, 92 S.Ct. 2694, 33 L.Ed.2d 570 (1972). As established above, the medical staff bylaws do not entitle the defendants to a hearing when the hospital enters into an exclusive provider contract. The bylaws, therefore, do not give the defendants a reasonable expectation that they will be given notice and a hearing before their clinical privileges are terminated if the hospital enters into such a contract. See, e.g., Bleeker v. Dukakis, 665 F.2d 401, 403 (1st Cir.1981) ().

Accordingly, summary judgment should be granted concerning this counterclaim. Defendant contends in its sixth counterclaim that Plaintiff committed unfair and/or deceptive trade practices violative of Fla.Stat.Ann. §§ 501.201 et seq. As a matter of law, the Court believes that the statute is limited to “consumer transactions”, and not to sophisticated commercial transactions such as in the matter presently before the Court. The statute is not intended to protect parties such as Defendant that have substantial previous experience in such transactions. See Black v.

Lambda has represented to this court that 48 municipalities, 11 counties, and 7 states currently have ordinances that prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. 10 . Likewise, we reject the Task Force’s assertion that the fact that Congress chose not to enact such a mandatory ""right of access"" somehow determines the question before us. Cf. Fidelity Fed.

Federal law, not state law, governs whether a defendant is under “any criminal justice sentence.” See Carrasco-Mateo, 389 F.3d at 247. In Carrasco-Mateo, the appellant argued that because he was deported, he was no longer under New York parole. Id. at 246. The First Circuit concluded that whether a defendant is on parole is a question of federal law. Id. at 246-47. The appellant asserted that because New York no longer exercised custodial or supervisory authority over him, his term of parole had ended. Id. at 247. The court relied on immigration law in rejecting this argument, stating that “Congress directed the Attorney General that a deportation action should proce (3d Cir.2004) (); United States v.

A ruling on a motion to enforce a plea agreement is a collateral order, and therefore, immediately appealable. See Rios v. State, 186 Md.App. 354, 364-66, 974 A.2d 366 (2009). 3 . Falero’s question is: Did the Circuit Court err when it ordered the binding plea agreement vacated? 4 .

Peck has completed his prison term since his petition was denied, see supra note 1, and is presently serving a three-year term of supervised release. Although he is no longer in prison, a term of supervised release, which carries with it the possibility of revocation and additional jail time, satisfies the ""in custody” requirement of § 2255.

For instance, recognizing an established sovereign’s former colony as a new, independent sovereign seems a straightforward exercise of what even Zivotofsky would concede to be the recognition power. But such recognition necessarily entails a boundary determination — the colony, once formally recognized as part of one sovereign’s territory, is effectively recognized as belonging to another. Indeed, precedent binding on this court confirms that the recognition power includes authority to determine territorial boundaries.

One-Factor-to-Consider Rule Some jurisdictions hold that an obligor’s incarceration is only one factor to consider in determining whether to modify child support. These cases generally require that the determination be made on a case-by-case basis, considering such additional factors as whether the obligor has other assets or income; the obligor’s past and future ability to earn income; the length of the obligor’s incarceration; and the applicable public policies, such as the best interest of the child, the unclean hands doctrine, and the nature of the crime.

The court next observes that possession of cocaine base is not a lesser-included offense of conspiracy to possess cocaine base because the elements in a section 846 conspiracy to possess charge do not require proof of the defendant’s possession of cocaine base.

We noted that the shack had only one habitable room, that both the defendant and the owner left personal property in that room, and that the defendant had a key to the shack. In Yarbrough, we stated that the owner “had complete access throughout the property in general, and to the room lived in by [the defendant] in particular. It was as much his own place as it was [the defendant’s].” Id. at 1534. See also United States v. Sealey, 830 F.2d 1028 (9th Cir.1987) (); United States v.

We have made an independent search, and we find nothing in South Carolina’s law to support the statement in McDonald. At this point, we can only conclude that McDonald misstated the law of South Carolina. Of course, any state law that authorized a search or seizure would be subject to the requirements of the Fourth Amendment. See United States v. Manbeck, 744 F.2d 360, 382 (4th Cir.1984) ().

Fam. Code Ann. § 101.025 (West 2014). One of-the pleadings F.M., Jr. filed in the underlying cause was an “Affidavit of Respondents Testimony” in which F.M., Jr. refers to himself as F.M.’s father, stating he “does not deny that he is the father of son [F.M.].” This statement constitutes a judicial admission that F.M., Jr. is F.M.’s father.

Defendant contends its warranty had expired before the machine malfunctioned, and the latent nature of the design defect does not toll the warranty period. Plaintiff asserts that defendant’s one-year warranty period is unenforceable. This is so, according to plaintiff, because the mold is undetectable for the first three years of operation and a one-year warranty period would cause the warranty to fail of its essential purpose. To support its contention that any express or implied warranties had expired before plaintiff experienced problems, defendant cites Buckeye Resources, Inc. v. DuraTech Indus.

Without taking any additional evidence or holding a hearing, the district court simply entered a ruling and denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss. In its order, the district court did not address the propriety of the lower court’s dismissal with prejudice or whether a second trial de novo was appropriate. See State v.

Johnson never filed the petition and never returned any of Neef s fees. The commission found violations of ethical rules 32:1.1 32:1.3, 32:1.4, 32:1.16(d), and 32:8.4(a) , (c), and (d).

We hold that this cross-examination exposed Ashley’s prior inconsistent statements and bargain with Florida to the extent that the jury could judge his credibility and Mills could argue effectively that Ashley’s testimony was not credible. Mills’s lawyer engaged in sufficient cross-examination, and the trial judge neither abused his discretion nor violated the Confrontation Clause in limiting the cross-examination to that which the attorney-client privilege did not protect. See, e.g., United States v. Perez-Tosta, 36 F.3d 1552, 1563 (11th Cir.1994) (); United States v.

See Yueqing Zhang v. Gonzales, 426 F.3d 540, 545 (2d Cir.2005). However, because of the vagueness of Spa-hi’s testimony regarding the motivations of his child persecutors, the record would not compel any reasonable adjudicator to find, contrary to the agency, that Spahi was persecuted on account of a protected ground. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); cf. Jin Shui Qiu v. Ashcroft, 329 F.3d 140, 151 (2d Cir.2003) (discussing that credible testimony may be too vague to establish refugee status), overruled in part on other grounds by Shi Liang Lin v.

For example, in Kalkunte v. DVI Fin. Servs., Inc., No.2004-SOX-56 (ALJ July 18, 2005), a non-publicly traded company, AP Services, was hired to operate a publicly traded company, DVI Financial Services, through bankruptcy. AP Services was deemed an agent of DVI Financial Services because AP Services’ main principal acted as DVI’s Chief Executive Officer, and admitted that he had made the decision to fire the claimant. Id. at 7. In other cases, the non-publicly traded company has been found to be almost inseparable from the publicly traded company, or subject to the same internal controls. See Morefield v.

Our analysis in Murray is directly applicable to the present case. As in Murray, there is no danger here of prejudice in connection with a lack of notice or double jeopardy rights. Nor is there a threat of a completely non-unanimous verdict that would undermine the validity of defendant’s conviction, to the extent such conviction is premised on defendant’s participation in only one of the two transactions, because we may assume that the jury followed the court’s unanimity instruction. See Abney, 431 U.S. at 655, 97 S.Ct. 2034 ().

The government now asks that we reach the question left unanswered by France. Before embarking on that inquiry, we respond to Jennings’s argument that we are no longer bound by our holding and reasoning in France because of an intervening change in the language of the Guidelines provision at issue.

Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 422 Pa. 500, 511, 223 A.2d 8, 13 (1966), Allstate denominates attempts to assign exemplary entitlements under Section 8371 as champertous. In this line of argument, Allstate highlights that Pennsylvania courts have manifested a particular aversion to assignment of personal causes of action seeking penalties. See, e.g., Sensenig, 229 Pa. at 173, 78 A. at 92 (“Counsel for appellant practically admit that the treble damages imposed by the act of 1883 are to be regarded as a penalty, and that the right to such damages is not assignable.”); Osborn v.

A. Applicable Law and Standard of Review Chapter 33 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code along with the common-law guides the analysis of this issue. Chapter 33 applies to “any cause of action based on tort in which a defendant, settling person, or responsible third party is found responsible for a percentage of the harm for which relief is sought.” Tex. Civ. PRAC. & Rem.Code ANN. § 33.002(a)(1) (West 2008). Furthermore, section 33.012 requires the trial court to reduce the amount of recovery if the claimant has settled with one or more persons with respect to the cause of action by the sum of the dollar amounts of all settlements. Id. § 33.012(b); see First Title Co. v. Garrett, 860 S.W.2d 74, 78 (Tex.1993) () The rationale for this doctrine is that the ### Response: holding that when a plaintiff files suit alleging that multiple tortfeasors are responsible for the plaintiffs injury any settlements are to be credited against the amount for which the liable parties as a whole are found responsible but for which only the nonsettling defendant remains in court " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of citizen jurors, as well as those of .the parties” and “best comports with the fair and efficient administration of justice.” Duk v.

That said, recall should be the exception rather than the convenient rule, lest the sanctity of untainted jury deliberations be compromised. In sum, we hold that, in limited circumstances, a court may recall a jury shortly after it has been dismissed to correct an error in the verdict, but only after making an appropriate inquiry to determine that the jurors were not exposed to any outside influences that would compromise their ability to fairly reconsider the verdict. , See Figueroa, 683 F.3d at 73 ().

Consol. Airborne, 348 F.2d at 947-48. The Court of Claims held that changing the quantity of goods purchased did not suffice to establish a complete bar under Axman. Id. at 948.

The Court finds that these extended coverage provisions were complied with by State Farm as a matter of law. On April 3, 1993, the defendant elected not to renew the plaintiffs policy. This decision was in accordance with both New York State law, see First United American Life Ins. Co. v.

No further judicial labor was required, so we conclude that the summary judgment was a final order disposing of the initial loan default action. Because an appeal of a nonfinal order was pending at the time, the trial court violated the express language of rule 9.130(f) by entering final judgment without having jurisdiction to do so. The summary judgment is thus null and void. See Bemben v. Chock, 938 So.2d 565, 566 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) (“The final summary judgment is a nullity because the trial court entered it during the pendency of the Sell ers’ interlocutory appeal of an order denying their motion to dissolve the Buyers’ lis pendens.

Nonetheless, plaintiffs asserted in their complaint and in briefing to the district court that DynaVision's interest in Signature was a security. Peeples did not question this assertion, nor did the district court analyze this issue on its own initiative. Our independent research of this issue indicates that whether DynaVision's interest could be considered a security is problematic. We are satisfied, however, that plaintiffs’ allegation that DynaVision's interest was a security passes the threshold test set forth in Bell v. Hood. See Williamson v. Tucker, 645 F.2d 404, 416 (5th Cir.1981) ().

Federal court decisions are consistent with our conclusion. In Thomas v. Pacificorp, 324 F.3d 1176 (10th Cir.2003), the court stated that ""requests [for discovery] must be served at least thirty days prior to a completion of discovery deadline."" Id. at 1179. Other federal cases have reached similar conclusions. See, e.g., Sofo v. Pan-American Life Ins. Co., 13 F.3d 239, 241-42 (7th Cir.1994) (); Chevola v.

Moreover, office preparations for Hurricane Matthew contributed to the assistants’ failure to follow normal office procedure and calendar the deadlines. Counsel also attested that but for the failure to calendar the deadlines, he would have objected to the time sheets submitted by Reverse Mortgage and Nutter. These undisputed facts constitute the type of secretarial error or breakdown in normal office procedure, which constitute excusable neglect pursuant to rule 1.540(b).

The assignments did not alter the fact that the homeowners reside in Palm Beach County where the damage occurred and where the critical witnesses are located. Although RJG’s venue selection is “meaningful” in assessing the convenience of the parties, it “is not the paramount consideration.” See Elsenheimer, 952 So.2d at 578 (quoting Darby v. Atlanta Cas.

We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in transferring venue to Palm Beach County. See E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Co. v. Fuzzell, 681 So.2d 1195 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996) (). Affirmed.

The Court recognizes that the two statutes are similar in some ways, but dissimilar in others such as in comparing the scopes of the substantive rights protected and Congress’s intent with respect to available remedies outside the statutes themselves. The law is not so clear in light of the Kendall case alone to warrant the Court changing its opinion on this issue in which it carefully analyzed the various arguments and existing case law. Nevertheless, money damages are not recoverable against a state and its officials acting in their official capacities under § 1983 alone because there is no abrogation of the states’ Eleventh Amendment immunity. See Will v. Michigan Dept. of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 66, 109 S.Ct. 2304, 105 L.Ed.2d 45 (1989) ().

Lastly, Cluley argues that the State improperly relied on an exhibit that was not introduced into evidence before the District Court. He refers to a letter from a representative of the testing equipment’s manufacturer concerning the acceptable testing parameters for the equipment in question. In its brief, the state explained that it only had marked this exhibit for identification purposes at the suppression hearing. Because the letter merely corroborated the testimony of DOH’s tester, the state’s reference to this document has no bearing on the outcome of our review. In any event, the rules of evidence do not apply at suppression hearings. See Rules 101(B)(1) and 104(a)(b) of the Rhode Island Rules of Evidence; State v.

In Holman, the Third Circuit held that the “necessity” affirmative defense “need not have been considered in the assessment of probable cause for arrest for trespass at the scene.” 564 F.3d at 231. The Circuit held that a ruling to the contrary would require the arresting officer to “examine countless factual permutations to determine the ‘necessity’ of specific conduct at a given moment in time.” Id. at 231.

In describing the offense of luring, the legislature implicitly acknowledged that the crime might involve someone posing as a child under fifteen. See § 13-3554(A), (B) (“having reason to know that the other person is a minor” sufficient mental state for offense; no defense that actual person lured was not a minor). Yet it also expressly excluded DCAC enhancement when the target was not an actual minor under the age of fifteen. See § 13—3554(C); State v.

Kuxhausen, 241 P.3d at 81. The court held that the doctor’s opinion was based on the logical fallacy that because the symptoms followed the exposure, they must be caused by it. “Such reasoning is nothing more than speculation.” Kuxhausen, 241 P.3d at 81; see also Elshaug v.

To begin with, Shull no longer applies to habitual felony offender sentencing. The legislature has amended section 775.084 to specify that a habitual felony offender sentence is not subject to the sentencing guidelines.

Habitual offender sentencing is now separate from both the sentencing guidelines and sentencing under the Criminal Punishment Code. See Bateman v.

Raising the defense of qualified immunity, the officers argued as a threshold matter that the complaint failed to state a constitutional claim. They also argued that, even if the complaint did state a constitutional claim, they were still entitled to qualified immunity because their actions were objectively reasonable. The district court held that the complaint stated a claim under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and that the qualified immunity defense did not otherwise shield the defendants from liability. Making the same arguments they made below, Officers Meyers and Chamberlain now bring this appeal pursuant to Mitchell v. Forsyth, 472 U.S. 511, 530, 105 S.Ct. 2806, 2817, 86 L.Ed.2d 411 (1985) ().

There need not be a specific agreement as to price, quantity, and time, place and manner of delivery. See United States v. Sharif, 817 F.2d 1375, 1378 (9th Cir.1987).

Because a range of prices may reasonably be found to approach fair market value, the mere fact that the parties have submitted competing appraisals and/or offers does not necessarily preclude the entry of summary judgment in one party’s favor.

Dr. Pustilnik also explained how other pieces of physical evidence did not support the defensive theory that the gun accidentally discharged during a struggle.

Consequently, defendant is entitled to summary judgment on plaintiffs chapter 93A claim. VIII. HALL’S COUNTERCLAIM In his counterclaim, Hall alleges that The Black Dog Tavern, through its September 5, 1991 letter to Famous Sportswear and its subsequent commencement of this action, intentionally and wrongfully interfered with his advantageous business relationship with Famous Sportswear. He also claims that plaintiffs interference, which allegedly cost him over 860 T-shirt sales, constituted unfair competition in violation of Mass.Gen.L. ch. 93A. To prevail on either theory, Hall must prove that plaintiffs actions were somehow improper. See United Truck Leasing Corp. v. Geltman, 406 Mass. 811, 815-16, 551 N.E.2d 20, 23 (1990) (); Levings v.

SVC argues that its request to enjoin Coca-Cola from running these ads is not moot because Coca-Cola’s alleged record of following a “cheat and retreat” strategy evinces bad faith and a likelihood that it will resume the ads. However, SVC’s fear that Coca-Cola will resume the ads is speculative at best and does not warrant a preliminary injunction in light of Coca-Cola’s sworn declarations and testimony under oath that it will not resume the ads during the course of this litigation. See Do The Hustle, LLC v. Rogovich, No. 03 Civ. 3870, 2003 WL 21436215, at *7 (S.D.N.Y. June 19, 2003) ().

While Manning’s complaint appears to present Count Two as an ERISA interference claim, in resisting ARIC’s Motion for Summary Judgment, Manning argues Count Two is instead an ERISA retaliation claim. Manning can establish ERISA-based retaliation through direct evidence, or in the absence of direct evidence of an employer’s deliberate interference with STD benefits, the Court analyzes § 510 interference claims using the McDonnell Douglas three-part burden-shifting analysis common to Title VII and ADEA cases. See Texas Dep’t of Cmty. Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U.S. 248, 101 S.Ct. 1089, 67 L.Ed.2d 207 (1981); Libel v. Adventure Lands of Am., Inc., 482 F.3d 1028, 1035 n. 7 (8th Cir.2007) (). 1.

Thus, the students have not cited, and we have not found, a single North Carolina case permitting unrelated third party victims of a patient to sue the patient’s health care providers for medical malpractice, or even suggesting that such claims are possible. Instead, North Car olina courts have emphasized the policy reasons counseling rejection of such suits; “ ‘doctors- should owe their duty to their patient and not to anyone else’ so as not to compromise this primary duty.” Russell v. Adams, 125 N.C.App. 637, 482 S.E.2d 30, 33 (N.C.Ct.App.1997) (rejecting a third party claim of harm based on the care provided by a medical provider to a patient) (citations omitted); see also Childers v.

Dismissal is really the only meaningful sanction available to the Court at this late juncture. D. Relationship Between Misconduct and Matters in Controversy “The most critical criterion for the imposition of a dismissal sanction is that the misconduct penalized must relate to matters in controversy in such a way as to interfere with the rightful decision of the case.” Halaco, 843 F.2d at 381. A plaintiffs drug use is highly probative of product misuse and proximate cause. See, e.g., Bocanegra v. Vicmar Services, Inc., 320 F.3d 581, 587 (5th Cir.2003) (); Gen. Motors Corp. v.

None of these bases can support the finding. The IJ relied on three particular “inconsistencies and lack of detail” with respect to Gherman’s Pentecostal faith: (1) her appearance; (2) the propriety of singing and dancing in the Pentecostal church; and (3) particular details of the Pentecostal faith. Assuming, arguendo, that there is some contradiction between Gherman’s profession to be a devout Pentecostal and her attire, she offered the plausible explanation that her particular church is no longer as strict about such matters. The IJ failed to address this explanation or to explain how the government’s evidence could rebut it. Cf. Zheng v. Ashcroft, 397 F.3d 1139, 1143-44 (9th Cir.2005) (). “Because an adverse credibility finding is ### Response: holding that an ij may not use general information contained in a state department report to discredit specific testimony regarding an applicants personal experience " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: F.Supp.2d at 45 (quoting Nat’l Ass’n of Concerned Veterans, 675 F.2d at 1327); see also Smith v.

A plaintiff can attribute a constitutional tort to the city itself by showing the injury was caused by city policy, by city custom, or by policymaking officials’ deliberate indifference to constituents’ constitutional rights. See Canton, 489 U.S. at 389, 109 S.Ct. 1197. “Policy is made when a ‘decisionmaker [with] final authority to establish municipal policy with respect to the action’ issues an official proclamation, policy, or edict.” Andrews, 895 F.2d at 1480 (alteration in Andrews) (quoting Pembaur, 475 U.S. at 481, 106 S.Ct. 1292); see, e.g., Pembaur, 475 U.S. at 485, 106 S.Ct. 1292 (). “Custom ... can be proven by showing that a ### Response: holding city liable when county prosecutor instructed deputy sheriffs to forcibly enter a doctors office and effect an arrest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: ex-spouse or child of the debtor and not one of the three payees expressly named in the statute.

Pre-BAPCPA, the rule in these exception to discharge cases was equally applicable to the issue of whether a claim was entitled to priority in a chapter 13 case because identical language was used to describe both the nondisehargeable debt under section 523(a)(5) and the claim entitled to priority under 507(a)(7).

Id. Here, Pugmire did not even argue — let alone demonstrate— plain error or exceptional circumstances; accordingly, the constitutional issue is not properly before this court and we will not consider it further. See City of Orem v. Lee, 846 P.2d 450, 452 (Utah App.), cert. denied, 857 P.2d 948 (Utah 1993). II. Sufficiency of Evidence Pugmire argues the evidence was insufficient to support the trial court’s finding that the knife he carried was a dangerous weapon. The knife itself was the only evidence presented at trial on this issue. Although we are dissatisfied with the controlling analysis found in State v. Archam-beau, 820 P.2d 920, 928-30 (Utah App.1991), we are constrained to follow it. See State v. Thurman, 846 P.2d 1256, 1269 (Utah 1993) ().

First, Roccanova herself is a woman, and although not conclusive, see Feingold v. N.Y., 366 F.3d 138, 155 (2d Cir.2004), that fact is relevant to the inquiry. See Zito, 869 F.Supp.2d at 395 (RIF decision-maker’s gender and age precluded an inference of age or gender discrimination). Second, the connection between these alleged comments and Roceanova’s participation in the January RIF is attenuated. To permit some inference of discriminatory intent, these two comments would need to be related to the adverse employment action in question. See, e.g., Ferrand v. Credit Lyonnais, No. 02 Civ. 5191(VM), 2003 WL 22251313, at *9-11 (S.D.N.Y.

The bankruptcy court, identifying the assets of a law firm under the Pennsylvania UPA, looked to general principles of partnership law to hold that the partnership did not end at dissolution, but extended through the winding up period. 227 B.R. at 407. During that period, the partners still owe each other a duty, and must complete the unfinished business of the partnership. Id. at 407-08. In surveying other jurisdictions, the bankruptcy court concluded that post-dissolution proceeds (obtained during the winding up), whether from hourly or contingency fees, are assets of the partnership. Id. at 408. The trial court here also cited Melenyzer v. Tershel, No. 99-5200, 2004 WL 5149401 (C.P.

That the interpretations do not directly compel plaintiffs to take immediate action does not mean that the plaintiffs do not suffer immediate hardship, sufficient to trigger review. See Meltzer v. Board of Public Instruction, 548 F.2d 559, 572-73 (5th Cir. 1977) (parents challenge of school regulation requiring teachers to “inculcate the practice of every Christian virtue” was ripe because of immediate, inevitable effect on teachers’ behavior), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 1089, 99 S.Ct. 872, 59 L.Ed.2d 56 (1979); see also Better Government Association, at 93-95 (); American Federation of Government Employees ### Response: recognizing hardship where plaintiff alleged it was being deprived of statutory entitlement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the burden of establishing all elements of her entitlement.

See In re North (Gardner Fee Application), 30 F.3d 143, 146 (D.C.Cir.1994) (per curiam). Based on the affidavits and other exhibits submitted by Mullins, we conclude that the hourly rates charged by her attorneys ($90 — $295) comport with prevailing community standards and are within the realm of reasonableness. Id. We also conclude that she has, for the most part, provided adequate descriptions and documentation of the work performed. See National Ass’n of Concerned Veterans v. Secretary of Defense, 675 F.2d 1319,1327 (D.C.Cir.1982) (per curiam) ().

Street is one application of the general, long-standing principle that the potential for jury misuse of evidence can often be curbed by a limiting instruction. Indeed, whenever the Supreme Court has permitted a jury to consider evidence that has the potential to be misused, e.g., to be considered in a way that would violate the defendant’s constitutional rights, it has required that a proper jury instruction be given to avoid the misuse. See, e.g., Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222, 226, 91 S.Ct. 643, 28 L.Ed.2d 1 (1971) (); Spencer v.

See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1) (stating that in habeas proceeding state court factual determinations are pre sumptively correct absent contrary showing by clear and convincing evidence). The only arguably contrary information is an affidavit from Horton's habeas counsel containing a summary of his conversations with defense counsel in which defense counsel stated that he should have insisted that the individual voir dire be conducted in public. This affidavit is inadequate to justify disregarding the state court's finding. Cf. United States v. Maguire, 600 F.2d 330, 332 (1st Cir.1979) (). 6 .

State, 999 S.W.2d 779 (Tex.Crim.App.1999). We held that a court of appeals may reform a judgment of conviction to reflect conviction of a lesser included offense only if (1) the court finds that the evidence is insufficient to support conviction of the charged offense but sufficient to support conviction of the lesser included offense and (2) either the jury was instructed on the lesser included offense (at the request of a party or by the trial court sua sponte) or one of the parties asked for but was denied such an instruction. Id. at 782. We see no reason why these principles would not apply to this Court, particularly when we serve in our capacity as the “court of appeals” in the direct appeal of a death penalty case.

Here, the circumstantial evidence demonstrated that Stokes’ DNA was on a cigarette butt found in the victim’s home with no explanation of any other reason it would be there, that Stokes was in the area of the burglary during the time period, that his clothing was wet and muddy when he was in the neighbor’s yard, and that some of the recovered items were also wet. This combined evidence was sufficient to support Stokes’ conviction under Jackson, 443 U. S. 307. See Marion v. State, 276 Ga.

Officer Anderson did not specifically state how much time elapsed, but he testified that the officers pounded the door for a “few seconds, maybe ten seconds,” before listening for a response and eventually forcing entry. (Apx. at 100). There is substantial precedent, both in this circuit and others, for the proposition that a wait of no more than fifteen seconds between announcement and entry may be sufficient when a drug search warrant is executed.

If the filing of a claim provided notice to PCIGC of all potential claims arising out of the one incident, PCIGC’s potential liability would extend until the statute of limitations ran on all potential claims arising out of the original claim. As this case illustrates, such a result renders PCIGC unable to seek recovery against the bankruptcy estate of the insolvent insurer for those claims because the estate is not obligated to accept claims filed after the bar date, thus frustrating section 9-309(c) of the statute.

Hunter, 459 U.S. at 366, 103 S.Ct. 673. “Absent a clear statement of legislative intent to authorize separate punishments for two crimes, courts employ the Blockburger test, as codified in section 775.021, Florida Statutes (1997), to determine whether separate offenses exist.” Gordon v.

The acts the dissent goes on to describe — discriminatory ""hiring or firing decision[s],’’ Dissent at 974 — are “company acts” that do not involve an unusual degree of attenuation between employer/defendant and employee/wrongdoer.

We need not address the scope of employer liability for ""noncompany acts” such as sexual harassment. 8 .

But that question is not properly before the Court at this time. For now, the question is whether the claims should proceed to arbitration, and so to the extent that there was no binding contract including an arbitration clause, the question cannot be addressed by this Court. In other words, while there may be an equitable reason why the district court could enforce discrete provisions of the contract based on the parties’ course of conduct, that is not the same as finding that there was a contract in place during the relevant time period.

Although Robertson testified at the penalty phase of the trial that Pa-guada saw him clearly after he shot Najar-ro, he denied killing Paguada to prevent her from identifying him. As this Court stated in Hansbrough v. State, 509 So.2d 1081, 1086 (Fla.1986), “[t]he mere fact that the victim might have been able to identify her assailant is not sufficient to support finding this factor.” The facts indicate that Robertson shot Paguada instinctively and without a plan to eliminate her as a witness.

That instruction included the elements that defendant possessed a firearm and intended to use it to “endanger or threaten the life of [the victim].” However, in its charge on conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, the trial court correctly instructed that robbery with a dangerous weapon is the taking of property from a person “while using a firearm,” but erroneously omitted the element that the weapon must have been used to endanger or threaten the life of the victim. The State concedes that the instruction was erroneous because the trial court should have set out all the elements of robbery with a dangerous weapon in that portion of the charge, according to State v. Gibbons, 303 N.C. 484, 489, 279 S.E.2d 574, 577-78 (1981) ().

The court ultimately rejected the former argument, while the DOC voluntarily withdrew the latter. 2 This Court previously dismissed plaintiff’s jurisdictional challenge. Rusha v Dep’t of Corrections, unpublished order of the Court of Appeals, entered May 29, 2014 (Docket No. 317693). 3 Plaintiff relies almost exclusively on an unpublished decision of this Court for the proposition that statutory notice requirements are inapplicable where constitutional t 446, 451; 212 NW 207 (1927) () (citation omitted). 6 See Price Paper Corp v ### Response: holding that to the extent the constitutional provision permitting cities to acquire parks without their corporate limits comprehends the right of acquisition by eminent domain see 1908 const art 8 22 the provision is not selfexecuting as it merely lays down a general principle " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 768 S.W.2d 590, 592-93 (Mo.App.1989); State ex rel. Connett v. Dickerson, 833 S.W.2d 471, 475 (Mo.App.1992). The court in Light distinguishes a suspended imposition of sentence from a suspended execution of an imposed sentence, stating “Suspension of imposition of sentence is an entirely different matter from imposing sentence and then suspending execution of it. In the first instance, the person has no criminal conviction, in the second, he does.” 768 S.W.2d at 592. Under the versions of §§ 559.016 and 559.036 in effect at the time Appellant was convicted, the court was prohibited from granting a second period of probation following a revocation that would extend beyond the five year maximum set forth in § 559.016.

Federal Power Commission, 369 U.S. 482, 82 S.Ct. 901, 8 L.Ed.2d 54 (1962), we perceive significant differences between Philadelphia National Bank and the case which we today decide. AVe note that the history of the Bank Merger Act evidenced a congressional intent not to immunize bank mergers from at least Sherman Act attack, see 374 U.S. at 352, 83 S.Ct. 1715, whereas the 1934 Act entrusts the SEC with supervision of rate-fixing, a practice which outside the confines of the 1934 Act is a per se violation of the Sherman Act.

There, an alien whose prior convictions disqualified him for discretionary relief under the IIRIRA — but not under the INA — claimed eligibility for a 212(c) waiver on the ground that the convictions predated the IIRIRA. Id. at 6. We rejected the Attorney General’s argument that AADC overruled Goncalves, or, alternatively, that the petitioner no longer was eligible for discretionary relief because deportation proceedings had not commenced until after the expiration of the so-called transitional rules.

Plaintiffs argue that none of the specific remedies cited by Defendants are adequate to provide relief for the type of egregious, systemic abuse that Advocacy Center alleges. The Court agrees that these remedies are clearly inadequate in terms of the traditional exhaustion doctrine. See, e.g., Patsy v. Florida Int’l Univ., 634 F.2d 900 (5th Cir.1981) (rehearing en banc), rev’d on other grounds, 457 U.S. 496, 102 S.Ct. 2557, 73 L.Ed.2d 172 (1982); Shinholster v.

Every appeal that has considered the disqualification of an entire United States Attorney’s office has found the disqualification issue to be entirely separate from the merits of the underlying case.

Sanchez contends that, had the relevant facts been included in the warrant affidavit, the Magistrate Judge would not have found probable cause for the search. We do not agree. At best, the omitted information establishes that the Informant is an unsavory character with a questionable moral compass. This fact does not, per se, doom a finding of probable cause. Courts, according to well-established precedent, may consider both the reliability of the informant and the reliability of the information provided by the informant. See United States v.

The issue before us, then, is whether Kan-cilia's exemption under section 522 for his disability payments protects those payments from garnishment by creditors holding non-dischargeable debt under section 528. Seetion 522(c) states that exempt property ""is not liable during or after the case for any debt of the debtor that arose ... before the commencement of the case"" (emphasis added).

See id. Gomez argues that we should only look to the statutory language in subsection A. We disagree. Gomez was indicted for and convicted of violating Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-1405 B. Therefore, our analysis is limited to that provision. Section 13-1405 B defines the victim as being either ""at least fifteen” or ""under fifteen.” Consequently, it is divisible with respect to the age of the victim, and, under the governing law in 2006, we may consider the indictment and plea agreement’s clear language showing that Gomez was charged with sexual conduct with ""a minor under the age of fifteen.” See Shepard v.

The court’s inquiry does not end here, however, because the question remains whether this limit on recovery applies to claims under § 1132(a)(3) as well as § 1132(a)(2). While there is a good deal of confusion surrounding this question, case law suggests that § 1132(a)(3) allows for individualized relief. See, e.g., Lee v. Burkhart, 991 F.2d at 1011 (rejecting § 1132(a)(3) claim on grounds that money damages are not recoverable, not on grounds that there is no individual right to recovery); Lorenzen v.

In addition, Cignetti’s claim against Healy fails because it is based solely on a theory of vicarious liability. Cignetti does not allege that Healy threatened him directly, but asserts that the “threats” allegedly made by Rossi can be attributed to Healy because Rossi was Healy’s agent. However, nothing in the record indicates that Rossi was acting at Healy’s direction or that Healy authorized or approved Rossi’s alleged “threats.” Cf. Alioto, 835 F.2d at 1175 ().

Generally, “[i]n adjudicating a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, a district court must confine its consideration to facts stated on the face of the complaint, in documents appended to the complaint or incorporated in the complaint by reference, and to matters of which judicial notice may be taken.” Leonard F. v.

Harbert/Lummus also argues that, because the government does not dispute the CO’s authority to enter into a written contract with Harbert/Lummus to care for the plant after DOE ceased its guarantees, the CO must have had the authority to enter into the oral, unilateral contract because both contracts stemmed from the CO's authority to minimize DOE’s expenses with regal’d to the project. Again, this argument is unpersuasive because it does not address the fact that the unilateral contract was oral and did not contain the required written approval. As we have held before, agency procedures must be followed before a binding contract can be formed. See American Gen. Leasing, Inc. v.

The relevant policy statement on retroactive reduction of sentences provides that a sentence reduction is authorized under § 3582(c)(2) only where the applicable guideline range was lowered as a result of an amendment to the Guidelines Manual enumerated under § 1B1.10(c). See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a); United States v. Pelaez, 196 F.3d 1203, 1205 n. 3 (11th Cir.1999) ().

See id. at 489-92. However, even taking this restrictive rule into account, the United States Supreme Court has held that even a single racketeering scheme may provide the basis for RICO liability. See HJ Inc., 492 U.S. at 236, 109 S.Ct. 2893. Similarly, while courts have stated that a single-victim scheme that rises to the level of a RICO pattern is “rare,” Sathianathan v. Smith Barney, Inc., No. 04-cv-7122, 2007 WL 576097, *3 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 21, 2007), other district courts, as well as the Second Circuit, have held that a single-victim scheme may form a RICO pattern when the predicate acts are numerous and extensive. Jacobson v. Cooper, 882 F.2d 717, 720 (2d Cir.1989) (); State Wide Photocopy, Corp. v.

Pet’r’s Br. at 4. We find Wang’s explanation unavailing. Like the BIA, we observe that IIRIRA— enacted ten years before Wang applied for asylum — “broadened the definition of refugee to include a person who has been [persecuted for] resistance to a coercive population control program.” Lin-Zheng v. Att’y Gen., 557 F.3d 147, 155 (3d Cir.2009) (en banc) (quotation marks omitted). Thus, Wang’s more detailed account of the events that transpired on May 24, 1992, if believed, provided fertile ground for a claim of past persecution at the time he originally applied for asylum. Wang chose instead to pursue a claim that would eventually be foreclosed by our decision in Lin-Zheng. See id. at 156 ().

Kreger’s history, as well as the City’s prior history of excessive force complaints, should have put the City on notice of the need to re-train or discipline Kreger. See Bryan County, 520 U.S. at 407, 117 S.Ct; 1382; but see Reitz v. County of Bucks, 125 F.3d 139, 145 (3d Cir.1997) ().

The Yakimas had signed one of the Stevens Treaties in 1855. The United States brought suit against the Winanses on the Yakimas’ behalf. The Supreme Court held that the land owned by the Winanses, previously conveyed by patent from the government, was by virtue of the treaty subject to an easement allowing access to the Yakimas’ “usual and accustomed” fishing site. The Court held, further, that the State could not license the Winanses to “construct and use a device which gives them exclusive possession of the fishing places, as it is admitted a fish wheel does.” Winans, 198 U.S. at 382, 25 S.Ct. 662.

Finally, the considerable sum of money required to purchase 4.36 grams of co caine was found neither on Patton nor elsewhere in the apartment. Thus, the court’s determination that the intent-to-deliver element was proved beyond a reasonable doubt was not unreasonable, improbable, or unsatisfactory. Indeed, the determination is justified by the evidence. Defendant finally contends that the circuit court erred in sentencing him as a Class X offender because the State proved neither that his prior convictions were for offenses committed after the effective date of the statute, nor that the second offense occurred after the first. However, in light of the recent supreme court decision of People v. Williams (1992), 149 Ill. 2d 467, 484, 487-88, 599 N.E.2d 913 (), we find no error in the circuit court’s ### Response: holding that the unified code of corrections places no duty upon the state to prove defendants prior felony convictions beyond a reasonable doubt and that it does not require any more formal proof of defendants prior criminal record than is evidenced by the presentence investigation report " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 626 P.2d at 301. The predicate felony to Bankert’s conviction of felony murder, thus stands. ISSUE TWO — SIMULTANEOUS POSSESSION OF COCAINE BY BUYER AND SELLER Bankert also claims that jury instruction number ten, stating that “[t]wo or more people can have possession of a substance at the same time,” and the prosecutor’s related closing argument thwarted a jury determination of the possession element. He points out that no drug deal was ever consummated. “It is axiomatic,” he says, “that during a drug transaction, a buyer and seller cannot each possess a controlled substance simultaneously.” At most, Bankert avows he is guilty of attempted possession.

The remainder of the cases were federal court cases, which attempt to predict how the state supreme court will rule. Three jurisdictions have either deferred consideration or declined to create the tort. See McDougald v. Jenson, 596 F.Supp. 680 (N.D.Fla.1984), aff’d, 786 F.2d 1465 (11th Cir.1986); Bartanus v.

A claim accrues under § 1140 when the employer decides to discharge an employee and communicates that decision to him. Tolle, 977 F.2d at 1138. Barnett was terminated on or about April 25,1991 according to the complaint, and she has conceded that her claim accrued no later than this date. Memo in Opp. at 5. IBM correctly argues that the state law claim most analogous to a wrongful discharge claim under § 1140 is a claim for wrongful discharge or employment discrimination. See Byrd v.

Hansen, 75 S.D. 476, 480, 68 N.W.2d 480, 482 (1955). Likewise, when municipalities’ police powers are involved they are also strictly construed. See City of Sioux Falls v.

The limitations period for § 2254 motions is also subject to equitable tolling in extraordinary circumstances, Gibson v. Klinger, 232 F.3d 799, 808 (10th Cir.2000), such as where “a constitutional violation [will] result[ ] in the conviction of one who is actually innocent or incompetent,” Miller v. Marr, 141 F.3d 976, 978 (10th Cir. 1998). But in order for a petitioner to avail himself of the actual innocence exception he must demonstrate that his claim is based on a an independent constitutional violation. See Herrera v.

Thompson cites one case, Smiddy v. Varney, 803 F.2d 1469 (9th Cir. 1986), to support her argument that the prosecutor’s actions broke the chain of causation between her phone call and Ayala’s refusal to testify. Smiddy, however, is inapposite for several reasons. First, that case deals only with post-trial calculation of damages rather than the existence of a cause of action. See id. at 1473 (""[T]he independent act of the prosecutor four days after Smiddy’s arrest, unless shown to have been improperly influenced by the police officers, cut off further liability for damages suffered thereafter.”). Second, Smiddy applies to “negligent conduct,” not to intentional misconduct by law enforcement officers. See id. at 1471, 1473 ().

In Houman v. Mayor & Council of the Borough of Pompton Lakes, 155 N.J.Super. 129, 382 A.2d 413, 425-28 (1977), the New Jersey Superior Court held that the council could discuss in an executive session whether to appeal to the State Tax Court but that the council violated the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act when it took formal action to do so in executive session. Similar to section 38-431.03(A)(4), New Jersey law permits executive sessions only to “discuss” pending or anticipated litigation. Id. at 421. That court reasoned that “discuss” does not include final decisions, and hence a decision to appeal is not a “discussion” but rather a final decision that must be made in public. Id. at 428. Cf.

As the Second Circuit’s traditional understanding of Wilko and § 10 — that Wilko endorsed manifest disregard and that § 10’s grounds are not exclusive — is inconsistent with the basis for the holding in Hall Street, the Court finds that the manifest disregard of the law standard is no longer good law. Even assuming arguendo that “manifest disregard” remains a viable doctrine, “the reach of [this] doctrine is ‘severely limited.’ ” Halligan v. Piper Jaffray, Inc., 148 F.3d 197, 202 (2d Cir.1998) (citations omitted). In fact, even a court convinced that an arbitrator incorrectly applied the law is not free to vacate the award.

Generally speaking, chapter 13 provides a means to address a wide variety of claims, including claims which are nonre-course debt. 11 U.S.C. § 102(2) (“ ‘claim against the debtor includes claim against property of the debtor’ ”). Even though the chapter 13 debtor faces no personal liability on the debt, the debtor may use Section 506(a) to determine that the claim is not supported by the value of any collateral, avoid the lien through the chapter 13 plan, and thereby treat the debt as unsecured debt. In re Metz, 820 F.2d 1495, 1498 (9th Cir.1987); In re Akram, 259 B.R. 371, 374-75 (Bankr.C.D.Cal.2001). 10) (); In re Jarvis, 390 B.R. 600, 605-06 ### Response: holding that by virtue of section 1325a5 holder of secured claim retains the lien until the underlying debt is paid in full " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: had sentenced Ragnoli, only the BOP had the authority to credit Ragnoli for his time in state custody by retroactively designating his state institution for service of his federal sentence.

Since the District Court had no authority to modify its earlier sentencing order, and the BOP had independent authority to decide whether to credit Ragnoli for his time in state custody, the District Court’s tetter was only a non-binding recommendation to the BOP, not an appealable order. This reasoning is in accord with our own case law, and the law of multiple other circuits. United States v. Serafini, 233 F.3d 758, 778 (3d Cir.2000) (); United States v.

But what “we do not and cannot know [is] whether [Hemphill] would have accepted the plea agreement absent participation by the court.” Id. The record in fact suggests otherwise. Hemphill indicated on September 20 that he wanted to proceed to trial, he was diligently preparing for trial, and he gave no contrary indication prior to accepting the plea offer on the morning of September 28.

Defendant made two arguments based on sentencing disparities, and this statement lacks any indication that the district court understood those arguments. Additionally, nowhere in the record does the district court reveal that it understood Defendant’s argument that his age counseled in favor of a lower sentence. The district court’s cryptic statement is also conclusory, thus engendering uncertainty as to whether “the district court adequately considered and rejected [Defendant’s] arguments regarding proper application of the § 3553(a) factors or whether it misconstrued, ignored, or forgot [Defendant’s] arguments.” Thomas, 498 F.3d at 341 ().

Thus, although appellant is correct in arguing that article 38.22 authorizes him to submit evidence to the jury pertaining to the voluntariness of his statement, the testimony appellant intended to elicit from Officer Razo was inadmissible hearsay, and the trial court did not err in excluding its admission.

That case involved an individual with an extensive history of sex offenses against children, who admitted he was going to the city parks “cruising” and “looking” for children. Id. at 759-60. The city issued a unilateral order banning the plaintiff from the city parks without a hearing. Id. at 760. Unlike this case, the regulation did not implicate the First Amendment so we upheld it under the deferential rational basis review. Id. at 764, 773. Other laws restricting sex offenders’ proximity to schools or parks have been similarly upheld under rational basis review because courts have found they do not implicate the First Amendment or involve a fundamental right. See, e.g., Smith v. Doe, 538 U.S. 84, 123 S.Ct. 1140, 155 L.Ed.2d 164 (2003) (); Conn. Dep’t of Pub. Safety v.

No New Mexico case requires such a literal, absolute rule. To the contrary, the controlling view is that of “reasonable necessity.” Venegas v. Luby, 49 N.M. 381, 387, 164 P.2d 584, 587 (1945) (“The basis for an easement by implication must be reasonable necessity . . . the English rule of absolute necessity being in this state modified.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)); Hurlocker, 118 N.M. at 31-32, 878 P.2d at 349-50 (stating that “reasonable necessity” at the time of severance is one element of an easement by necessity); Herrera, 112 N.M. at 720, 819 P.2d at 267 (); see also, e.g., Thompson v.

NYNEX Serv. Co., 995 F.2d 355, 360 (2d Cir.1993)). Thus, despite the fact that Plaintiffs had been subjected to similar classroom observations during April 2003, arguably contravening Defendant’s past policy and practice as the EEOC Determination Letters found, Plaintiffs’ Exh. B at 1, Defendant’s classroom observations of Plaintiffs which occurred on March 15 and 24, 2004, after Plaintiffs were informed, on either March 5 or 7, 2004, of their new fifth grade teaching assignments, do not demonstrate Plaintiffs were subjected to an adverse employment action actionable under the ADEA. Although, under the ADEA a forced early retirement may constitute a form of adverse employment action, Less v. Nestle Co., 705 F.Supp. 110, 114 (W.D.N.Y.1988) (), it is undisputed that Plaintiffs declined ### Response: recognizing that allegation of coerced early retirement may support a constructive discharge claim under adea " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: activities of pre-petition creditors. See 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(5) & (c)(2). Furthermore, to the extent that debtors, trustees, or creditors are concerned about meddling by secured creditors, potential problems of debtors managing property subject to retained liens, or abuse of the bankruptcy system by debtors, they are free to advocate that a plan defer § 1327 revesting until discharge. 9 . The Trustee argues in the alternative that even if the Talbots’ residence was not property of the bankruptcy estate, the sales proceeds representing post-confirmation appreciation in value of the residence constitutes property of the estate pursuant to § 1306(a)(1) of the Code. This is a dubious argument. See Black v. United States Postal Service (In re Heath), 115 F.3d 521, 524 (7th Cir.1997) (). Because, however, the Trustee did not raise ### Response: holding that postconfirmation income that is not necessary to the fulfillment of the plan of reorganization does not become pari of bankruptcy estate " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: unless a contrary intention appears in the deed or conveyance, or a declaration of trust is recorded. The statute also permits any person to record a declaration of trust before or after the recordation of the deed. Because the deeds used in the initial conveyance of the parcel to Hoffenberg did not identify either trust, name the trust beneficiaries or state the nature or purpose of either trust, and because a declaration of trust was never recorded under section 689.07, the trial court was correct in finding that Hoffenberg owned each parcel in fee simple absolute. See, e.g., Zosman v. Schiffer, 697 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (recognizing language referring to the owners as trustees did not change the nature of the transaction); Terry v. Zaffran, 483 So.2d 526 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986) (); Glusman v. Warren, 413 So.2d 857 (Fla. 4th ### Response: holding that without a declaration of trust being recorded or any beneficiary specifically named the words as trustee in an instrument of conveyance do not encumber or effect a grantees individual ownership of real estate " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the “draw its essence” or “arguably construing” test. In Foley, having decided that absence of causation renders an award punitive, we inevitably concluded that “[t]he award of damages in the present case does not draw its essence from the CBA, for the agreement’s essence does not contemplate punitive, but only compensatory awards.” 789 F.2d at 1423. The rule that punitive awards do not draw their essence from such a bargaining agreement is well-established, not only in our circuit but in others. See, e.g., Desert Palace v. Local Joint Executive Bd. of Las Vegas, 679 F.2d 789, 794 (9th Cir.1982); Bacardi Corp. v. Congresso de Uniones Industriales de Puerto Rico, 692 F.2d 210, 214 (1st Cir.1982); Baltimore Regional Joint Bd. v. Webster Clothes, Inc., 596 F.2d 95, 98 (4th Cir.1979) ().

Romero-Barceló v. Hernández-Agosto, 75 F.3d 23, 32 (1st Cir.1996). There are two aspects to the second prong: (1) there must be an actual deprivation of a federally protected right; and (2) there must be a causal connection between defendants’ conduct and the deprivation of such right. Gutiérrez-Rodríguez v. Cartagena, 882 F.2d 553, 559 (1st Cir.1989). Additionally, the causal connection element requires that plaintiffs establish for each defendant, that the defendant’s own actions deprived the plaintiff of his or her protected rights. Id. at 562 (). In addition, it is also set in stone that ### Response: holding that liability may not be predicated upon a theory of respondeat superior because a supervisor can be liable only for his own acts or omissions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (3d Cir.1970); Egan v. United States, 137 F.2d 369 (8th Cir.1943). While the federal courts of appeals have not reached a consensus about how the theory of respondeat superior applies specifically in RICO cases brought under § 1962(c), the Third, Sixth, and Eleventh Circuits have all found that where, as here, the defendant corporation is not the Enterprise itself, the corporation is liable for the acts of its officers. Cox v. Administrator United States Steel & Carnegie, 17 F.3d 1386, 1405 (11th Cir.1994) (citing Petro-Tech, Inc. v. Western Co., 824 F.2d 1349, 1361-62 (3rd Cir.1987)) (finding that “theories of respondeat superior ... are not out of place” where the defendants named are not the section 1962(c) enterprise); Davis v. Mutual Life Ins. Co., 6 F.3d 367, 379 (6th Cir.1998) ().

This element is the most difficult to substantiate. C.f, e.g., Stepanischen v. Merchants Despatch Transp. Corp., 722 F.2d 922, 929 (1st Cir. 1983) (observing that, in a discriminatory discharge case, a plaintiff “will rarely, if ever, be able to produce a ‘smoking gun’ that provides direct, subjective evidence of an employer’s ... intent”). A court must be “particularly cautious about granting summary judgment” in discrimination or retaliation cases, in which one party’s state of mind or intent is “crucial to the outcome.” Id. at 928; see also, e.g., Schwapp v. Town of Avon, 118 F.3d 106, 110 (2d Cir.1997); Geier v. Medtronic, Inc., 99 F.3d 238, 240 (7th Cir.1996); Hossaini v. Western Mo. Med. Ctr., 97 F.3d 1085, 1088 (8th Cir.1996) (). However, even in such cases, “a plaintiff ### Response: recognizing the difficulty of disposing of issues of discriminatory or retaliatory intent at the summary judgment stage " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a support network and the resources and skills necessary to help him successfully transition to independent adulthood. The government argued that courts generally do not impose a more lenient sentence because of a defendant’s troubled background. The court agrees with the premise of the government’s position — that family support and upbringing (whether good or bad) generally will not serve as the basis for altering a sentence — but this case presents a distinct inquiry for two reasons. First, the State of Alabama removed Terry from the custody of his parents and family and placed him in the state’s dependency system around the age of ten. When the State takes over a child’s parenting, which is a drastic step, see Meyer v. Nebraska, 262 U.S. 390, 43 S.Ct. 625, 67 L.Ed. 1042 (1923) (), it is not unreasonable to expect the State to ### Response: holding that a parents right to control a childs upbringing is a fundamental liberty interest under the fourteenth amendment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and bodies politic with perpetual existence unless disincorporated according to law,” and § 53A-2-101, allowing the state to create, merge, and dissolve school districts. The statutes cited, however, actually support local city and school board independence. We do not doubt that these statutes give Utah more power over the establishment and disestablishment of local governments than it would have over private corporations, but that is not the issue here. By defining municipalities as “political subdivisions” and “bodies politic,” Utah law recognizes that they are more than merely arms of the state. See Ambus, 995 F.2d at 995 (giving substantial weight to statutory and constitutional language describing school districts as “political subdivisions”); Utah Const. Art. XI, § 1 (); id. § 8 (implicitly acknowledging counties, ### Response: recognizing utah counties as legal subdivisions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a rectal swab taken from the victim with new, more sophisticated technology. Id. Once conducted, the DNA profile did not match Youngblood; instead, it showed that Walter Calvin Cruise, who had two prior child sex abuse convictions in Texas, committed the assault. Id. at 277. Youngblood was released from prison and his conviction was vacated. Id. at 276. 5 . Although we note a similar jury charge was issued by the trial court in Youngblood, the propriety of this charge under state evidence law is not before the Court. Heretofore, an adverse inference charge based on missing evidence, sometimes referred to as a spoliation of evidence charge, has been limited to civil cases in South Carolina. See Stokes v. Spartanburg Reg’l Med. Ctr., 368 S.C. 515, 522, 629 S.E.2d 675, 679 (Ct.App.2006) (); Kevin R.

American Life & Health Ins. Co., 48 F.3d 404, 411 (9th Cir.1995). In that regard, we have held that “ERISA preemption does not mean that general principles of state law are irrelevant to interpretation of ERISA-governed insurance contracts.” Saltarelli v. Bob Baker Group Medical Trust, 35 F.3d 382, 386 (9th Cir.1994). On the contrary, courts are directed to formulate federal common law by considering both state law and governing fed 330, 1335 (11th Cir.1995) (assuming right of rescission exists under ERISA-created federal common law); Nash v.

See id. That is all too clear in a case like this, in which Ms. Mantiply has appealed each and every adverse order to the district court and then to this Court time and again. Having determined that Section 362(k)(l)’s award of attorneys’ fees apply to prosecuting damages actions, we have no trouble concluding that defending that judgment on appeal is also within the statute’s fee-shifting authorization. This Court has held many times that fee-shifting statutes—which Section 362(k) undoubtedly is—entitle parties not only to fees in the court of first instance, but also to appellate fees incurred in defending the judgment. See In re Rosenberg, 779 F.3d at 1265; Thompson v. Pharmacy Corp. of Am., Inc., 334 F.3d 1242, 1245 (11th Cir. 2003) (); Finch v.

On December 9, 2009, this Court entered an Administrative Order, to become effective on July 1, 2010, establishing venue for water rights disputes in the Snake River Basin Adjudication District Court of the Fifth Judicial District. Neither party thereafter sought a change of venue to that court but it should be noted that any future dispute of this nature is appropriately venued with that court. 6 . The judge also noted authority from other jurisdictions supporting the proposition that a water right does not vest until a license is issued. See, e.g., Little v. Greene & Weed Inv., 839 P.2d 791, 794 (Utah 1992) (); Green v.

This statement does not alter the rule that when there is a sufficiently causal relationship between property destruction and the fruits of a search, those fruits are suppressed. See United States v.

Williams, 467 U.S. 431, 104 S.Ct. 2501, 81 L.Ed.2d 377 (1984) (creating the independent source doctrine as a limitation on the exclusionary rule) and Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963) ()). Finally, the majority finds justification ### Response: holding that direct and indirect evidence from unlawful searches is inadmissible " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the Does acted in concert. Therefore, the Court concludes that joinder of the Doe Defendants in this action does not satisfy Rule 20(a). 2. Discretionary Severance Even if joinder of the Doe Defendants in this action met the requirements of Rule 20(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds it is appropriate to exercise its discretion to sever and dismiss all but one Doe Defendant to avoid causing prejudice and unfairness to Defendants, and in the interest of justice. See Wynn, 234 F.Supp.2d at 1088. First, permitting joinder in this case would undermine Rule 20(a)’s purpose of promoting judicial economy and trial convenience because it would result in a logistically unmanageable case. See Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. 11C Music, 202 F.R.D. 229, 232-33 (M.D.Tenn.2001) (). Second, permitting joinder would force the ### Response: holding permissive joinder of 770 putative defendants would not promote judicial economy because the courts courtroom could not accommodate all of the defendants and their attorneys and therefore could not hold case management conferences and could not try all of plaintiffs claims together " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: his testimony to be true. See Kalubi v. Ashcroft, 364 F.3d 1134, 1137-38 (9th Cir.2004). Maafi failed to demonstrate past persecution. However, he fears arrest and death based on the raid of his Iranian church, his friend’s subsequent death sentence, and the likely seizure of a list identifying him as a Christian. This fear is not an irrational phobia but, rather, is corroborated by the Country Report’s statement that “[ajpostasy, specifically conversion from Islam, may be punishable by death.” Thus, the evidence compels the conclusion that Maafi has an objectively reasonable, well-founded fear of future persecution. See 8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(b); Ladha v. INS, 215 F.3d 889, 896-97 (9th Cir.2000) (as amended); INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, 480 U.S. 421, 440, 107 S.Ct. 1207, 94 L.Ed.2d 434 (1987) ().

We cannot agree that the only reasonable interpretation of the contested sentence is that it warned potential investors that PCI may not have received all of the capital from the $25 million stock sale. Instead, the most obvious interpretation of this sentence is that this cash had already been received, but that this “fact” and the resulting cash increase was not yet updated in the Memorandum. In finding the statement immaterial, the district court also extended the bespeaks caution doctrine to statements of fact, despite the lack of approval from this circuit for such application of the doctrine as well as the explicit rejection of such an extension by two other circuits.

As the Utah court in Kitchen noted: [I]t defies reason to conclude that allowing same-sex couples to marry will diminish the example that married opposite-sex couples set for their unmarried counterparts. Both opposite-sex and same-sex couples model the formation of committed, exclusive relationships, and both establish families based on mutual love and support. 961 F.Supp.2d at 1211, 2013 WL 6697874, at *25. Defendants’ preferred rationale presumes that same-sex couples cannot be good parents — this is the same type of unconstitutional and unfounded presumption that the Supreme Court has held “cannot stand.” See, e.g. Stanley v. Illinois, 405 U.S. 645, 653, 92 S.Ct. 1208, 31 L.Ed.2d 551 (1972) ().

The Court recognized that such a criterion ""would not sustain a roving-patrol stop,” id., but concluded that border-control checkpoints were exempt from the usual Fourth Amendment requirement of individualized suspicion. See id. at 562, 96 S.Ct. 3074 (""[W]e hold that the stops and questioning at issue may be made in the absence of any individualized suspicion at reasonably located checkpoints.”). Since there is obviously no contention that a traditional arrest or Terry stop is similarly exempt from that requirement, Martinez-Fuerte cannot support plaintiffs’ detention. 35 . Cf.

Contrary to Wainwright’s assertion, on December'9, in declining to recuse himself from deciding Wainwright’s fate, the Governor wrote Wainwright’s attorney that he would decide the case “fairly and impartially as [he was] obligated to do.” Plaintiff’s Complaint Exhibit 3, Wainwright v. Huckabee, No. LR-C-97-12 (E.D.Ark. Jan. 6, 1997). The district court consolidated the lawsuits and dismissed them with prejudice. Wainwright v. Brownlee, No. LR-C-97-11 (E.D.Ark. Jan. 7, 1997). Wainwright appeals. Under the established law of this circuit, Wainwright’s civil rights claims fail. See Whitmore v. Gaines, 24 F.3d 1032, 1034 (8th Cir.1994) (); Pickens v.

The test for admissibility in this circuit and elsewhere has long been more permissive: whether the defendant’s conduct in prior crimes is “sufficiently analogous to support an inference” that the defendant intended to do something similar later. See United States v. Benton, 852 F.2d 1456, 1468 (6th Cir.1988). That is functionally the test the district court applied here. Thus, in United States v. LeCroy, 441 F.3d 914 (11th Cir.2006), the court upheld the admission of evidence that the police found notes in the defendant’s car saying that he planned to “rob ears and kill people” and “rape rob and pillage” as evidence that he intended to cause harm during a carjacking 10 years later.

In the main, plaintiffs retaliation claim rests on her letter of February 23, 2009 denouncing sex discrimination, and the transfer made in January of 2010, eleven months later, following Manzur’s administrative complaint. In her view, the transfer was but a fabrication for complaining of sex discrimination and the hostile work environment (Docket No. 1 at ¶ 55). These circumstances undercut any cognizable claim of causation. See, Velazquez-Ortiz v. Vilsack, 657 F.3d 64, 73 n. 8 (1st Cir.2011)(eight-month gap between events considered insufficient to raise an inference of retaliation); Mesnick v. General Elec.

AHC, on the other hand, characterizes its damages evidence as supporting the trial court’s award of $13,385,969.37 in replacement-value damages to its personal property (inventory) and, alternatively, diminution-in-market-value damages from a pre-fire market value of $13,385,969.37 to a post-fire market value of $0. It was AHC’s burden to prove the applicability of a damage valuation other than the general rule of diminishment-in-mar-kefe-value-before-and-after-the-damage valuation.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 412, a plaintiff may not recover statutory damages or attorney’s fees for any infringement “commenced” before the effective date of a copyright’s registration. The courts have held, based on the provision’s text, legislative history, and purpose, that a plaintiff may not recover statutory damages and attorney’s fees for infringement occurring after registration if that infringement is part of an ongoing series of infringing acts and the first act occurred before registration.

We recognized the interactive and reciprocal duties inherent in a reasonableness analysis, and concluded that the employer had done all that was reasonably required of it when it was amenable to, and receptive to, efforts that the employee could have conducted for himself to arrange his own schedule swap.

General Electric Astrospace, 101 F.3d 947, 951 (3d Cir.1996). The ADA protects three categories of “qualified individuals with a disability,” 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a), by defining disability 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). Plaintiff alleges that she is a member of all three protected categories by virtue of suffering from clinical depression. (Complaint 154.) She therefore has placed her mental condition directly at issue in this case, at least with respect to her claims that she belongs to the first two protected categories. Cf. Holihan v.

Wakefield appeals the district court’s order affirming his conviction for operating a motor vehicle on a Forest Development Road without a valid driver’s license in violation of 36 C.F.R. § 261.54 and Forest Order No. 01-005. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Wakefield contends that the Forest Service does not have authority to create the prohibition that he violated nor to enforce it. This argument is without merit. The Forest Service regulation at issue is well within the scope of its authority. See 36 C.F.R. § 261.50 (stating the Forest Service supervisor may issue orders that restrict the use of described areas within its jurisdiction); cf. United States v.

Mr. Hawkins attempts to distinguish his ""jurisdictional defect” claim from a sufficiency claim, arguing that there must be some evidence of the child's best interest in a paternity case and that a court acts in excess of its jurisdiction in the absence of any such evidence. While there is case law which indicates that the policy underlying the Uniform Parentage Act is a child's best interests, there is nothing in the Act that requires a best interests analysis.

Schaible thus admits that he is not qualified to give opinions about metam sodium causing RADS or any of Plaintiffs symptoms. (Schaible Dep. 156, 180, 189-90.)

He also argues that some of the victims may already have received refunds, even though he offered no evidence as to whether he had actually made any such payments. Despite the district court’s brief consideration of the amount, if any, by which the order of restitution should be offset, the court effectively resolved any potential detriment to Clark by ruling that Clark did not have to pay those victims to whom he had already provided restitution.

Other courts adopting the minority view include In re Lange, 120 B.R. 132, 135 (9th Cir.BAP 1990) (listing above reasons and adopting reasoning of Dewsnup); In re Mammoser, 115 B.R. 758, 759-60 (Bankr.W.D.N.Y.1990) (rejecting reasoning of Gaglia and holding that § 506(d) is not an avoiding power, but rather an implementing provision); In re Shrum, 98 B.R. 995, 1002 (Bankr.W.D.Okla.1989) (); In re Maitland, 61 B.R. 130, 132-35 ### Response: holding that abandoned or exempt property is no longer part of the estate and therefore 506d is not available to void the undersecured portion of a lien " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to his parole officer in the two weeks prior to March 12, 2007, and Garcia had not been able to reach him at his parole contact number, see generally United States v.

On this record, Coderre’s argument that the corrected affidavit would not demonstrate probable cause fails as a matter of law. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s entry of judgment in favor of defendants on both the federal and state law claims of false arrest. We also affirm the judgment for defendants on Coderre’s' claims for negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress. See Washington v. Blackmore, 986 A.2d 356, 361, 119 ConmApp. 218, 224 (2010) ().

Relevant considerations to determine if an environment is objectively hostile include: “the frequency of the discriminatory conduct; its severity; whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or a mere offensive utterance; and whether it unreasonably interferes with an employee’s work performance.” Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. at 787-88, 118 S.Ct. 2275 (quoting Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc., 510 U.S. at 21, 114 S.Ct. 367)(internal citations and quotations omitted).

Thus, a cause of action for “breach of good faith” appears to be the crux of the instant count. As this Court previously noted, “[a] cause of action for a breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing has been recognized by the courts.” 882 F.Supp. at 1031 (citing Scheck v. Burger King Corp., 798 F.Supp. 692 (S.D.Fla.1992)). However, “a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing cannot be maintained under Florida law absent an allegation that an express term of the contract has been breached.” Barnes v. Burger King Corp., 932 F.Supp. 1420, 1439 (S.D.Fla.1996). The Barnes court also noted that its holding was consistent with the Eleventh Circuit’s position in Alan’s of Atlanta, Inc., v. Minolta Corp., 903 F.2d 1414, 1429 (11th Cir.1990) ().

The remaining issue is whether larceny from the person is a crime that “by its nature, presents] a serious potential risk of physical injury to another.” See U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2 commentary, applic. note 1. We apply a categorical approach to determine whether a particular offense creates a serious risk of physical injury to a person. See United States v. Arnold, 58 F.3d 1117, 1121 (6th Cir.1995) (interpreting Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990), to apply to the Sentencing Guidelines); United States v.

Appellant cannot carry his burden of establishing the propriety of equitable tolling in this case. Appellant’s first motion for post-conviction relief was defective because he failed to sign it. He has not, moreover, offered any evidence suggesting he attempted to ascertain the status of that motion during the seven months it sat on the state court’s docket before being dismissed. In short, Appellant failed to act diligently, and the untimeliness of his petition was due to circumstances within his control. As a result, the district court did not err in finding Appellant’s defective motion for post-conviction relief did not equitably toll the limitations period on his petition. See Irwin v. Dep’t of Veterans Affairs, 498 U.S. 89, 96, 111 S.Ct. 453, 458, 112 L.Ed.2d 435 (1990) (). IV.

Shick, 716 A.2d at 1235-36 (quoting Mamlin, 17 A.2d at 409). Fraser argues that his case fits within Hennessy’s first two exceptions: Nationwide fired him for refusing to commit a crime and for his attempt to comply with a statutorily imposed duty. We find these arguments unconvincing. Even assuming that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court would also view these as exceptions to an employer’s right to fire an at-will employee, Fraser has presented no evidence that Nationwide directed him to commit any crime, nor has he pointed us to any statutory duty to report Nationwide’s violations of the law. Compare Field v. Philadelphia Electric Co., 388 Pa.Super. 400, 565 A.2d 1170 (1989) (), with Hennessy v.

See, eg., AS 47.30.725(d) (providing right to counsel before involuntary commitment for mental health treatment); Wetherhorn v. Alaska Psychiatric Inst., 156 P.3d 371, 383 (Alaska 2007) (Alaska Constitution's due process clause guarantees counsel in involuntary commitment and administration of psychotropic medication proceedings); Flores v.

Under these circumstances, we concluded that the prejudice they would suffer by having their claim barred outweighed any prejudice to the defendant surveyors from the lapse of time. Id. at 872. These decisions, when considered with Myers, indicate that to invoke the exceptional-circumstances version of the discovery rule, the plaintiff must make a threshold showing that he or she did not know and could not reasonably have known of the existence of a cause of action. In fact, this requirement would seem a definitional prerequisite to reliance on any version of the discovery rule, judicial or legislative. See, e.g., Vincent v. Salt Lake County, 583 P.2d 105, 107 (Utah 1978) ().

Indeed, they occurred in the course of the officers' lawful performance of their duty to investigate whether an offense had occurred. The acts by Smith include twice refusing to take his hands out of his pockets, reentering his home once; repeatedly refusing to put his hands on his head and come down off the porch, and, finally refusing to put his hands on his head and turn around. Each of these acts constituted a violation of § 148(a)(1) sufficient to warrant the filing of a criminal charge. Each could support a conviction under that section for obstructing the criminal investigation. See, e.g., In re Muhammed C., 95 Cal.App.4th at 1329-30, 116 Cal.Rptr.2d 21 (); People v.

Cf. Maddow v. Procter & Gamble Co., 107 F.3d 846, 852 (11th Cir.1997) (“Evidence offered in the prima facie case may be sufficient to raise a genuine issue of material fact regarding pretext.”). Plaintiffs conclusory allegations as to his job performance, as well as his perception that younger employees were given more hours and more favorable application of the “first out” policy, without more, fail to support a finding of pretext. See, e.g., Carter v. Three Springs Residential Treatment, 132 F.3d 635, 642 n. 6 (11th Cir.1998) ().

Here, the defendant was charged with scheduled violations, yet the State sought to have him sentenced to jail on the basis it had proved he committed nonscheduled simple misdemeanors. Because the defendant had no notice he was being charged with the greater offenses, he clearly did not have constitutionally sufficient notice of the charges against him. See In re Matter of Ruffalo, 390 U.S. 544, 551, 88 S.Ct. 1222, 1226, 20 L.Ed.2d 117, 122 (1968) (); State v.

Second, Ms. Hunter ignores Congress’s obvious purpose. In enacting § 1325(c), Congress showed no sign that it wanted criminality to depend on whether a marriage was “void” or “voidable” under state law. Presumably for this reason, Ms. Hunter’s argument is unsupported by any case law. See United States v. Ali, 557 F.3d 715, 720 (6th Cir.2009) (rejecting the defendant’s challenge to a bigamy conviction on the ground that the second marriage was void, reasoning that this “virtual ‘impossibility’ defense is not what state legislatures intended when they enacted laws voiding bigamous marriages”); Bouf-ford v. United States, 239 F.2d 841, 843-45 (1st Cir.1956) ().

The objective of the federal Act, which is the same as that expressed by Missouri in its Clean Water Law, sec. 644.011, RSMo, is to protect, maintain, and improve the quality of the state’s waters through cooperative action. Compilation of the 303(d) list is the first and most significant step in accomplishing this policy, for it is not until the impaired water-bodies are identified that federal and state regulators may begin the difficult tasks of targeting the harmful pollutants and regulating the responsible polluters. Accordingly, when the state compiles a 303(d) list, it does so with the aim of “prescribing” and “implementing” both federal and state environmental policy. See Tonnar v. Missouri State Highway and Transp. Comm’n, 640 S.W.2d 527 (Mo.App.1982) ().

Based upon this evidence, the State moved to revoke Black's probation. Prior to the revocation hearing, Black filed a motion for the State to produce evidence it planned to use at his hearing. The State responded by stating that it did not possess the items requested and informed Black that this information could be obtained by contacting the JCPD: The revocation hearing took place on March 7, 2002.

There were at least two officers present with him. The area beneath the mattress, whether Fisher was 3 or 4 feet away, or 15 feet, was simply not easily accessible to a handcuffed and guarded man, if we take a logical and reasonable approach to the word “accessible.” We note that if, on the same facts, the district court, after judging the credibility of the witnesses, had come to the conclusion that the weapon was accessible and should be allowed into evidence, and the defendant had appealed, we are not sure what our conclusion on appeal would have been. We do not need to address that hypothetical.

For example, 18 U.S.C. § 2423(c), which punishes anyone “who travels in foreign commerce, and engages in any illicit sexual conduct,” has been applied extraterritorially. United States v.

As we stated earlier, the record directly contradicts each of these claims. Thus, the State’s assertion that these letters establish Mr. Comer’s competence and obviate the need for a hearing is meritless. We also reject the State’s argument that, in deciding whether a hearing is necessary, we should presume that Mr. Comer is competent to waive further federal review based on a state court’s determination, thirteen years ago, that he was competent to stand trial. To be sure, a state court’s determination on competency to waive further legal remedies may trigger a presumption of correctness. See Demosthenes v. Baal, 495 U.S. 731, 734-35, 110 S.Ct. 2223, 109 L.Ed.2d 762 (1990) ().

Further, the detective testified that the confidential informant never said when he or she observed Young with these quantities of drugs. And, when reporting Young’s prior arrest, the affidavit did not reveal that the arrest occurred nine years previously. Up to this point, and considering the affidavit in conjunction with the omitted facts, we can only conclude that the information was far too stale to establish probable cause. Rodriguez v.

On its face, the statute is limited to declaring what will happen in a case if a trial court fails to specify whether multiple sentences are concurrent or consecutive. See Minn.Stat. § 609.15. Specifically, the statute provides that if a trial court does not state whether two or more sentences are to run concurrently or consecutively, the sentences shall run concurrently. Id. The only question left, then, is whether the pronounced consecutive sentences are commensurate with appellant’s culpability or unfairly exaggerate the appellant’s criminality. Time after time this court has affirmed consecutive sentences for multiple murders committed during one event within this state. See Wilson, 539 N.W.2d at 246; see also State v. Jobe, 486 N.W.2d 407, 421, n.5 (Minn.1992) (); State v.

The nature of Vonneida’s prior offense could thus be inferred only to a limited extent from the district court taking judicial notice of the 1989 definition of first degree sexual abuse. Under these circumstances, we cannot say the district court abused its broad discretion, see United States v. Miller, 626 F.3d 682, 687-88 (2d Cir.2010), in deciding to admit this one limited piece of propensity evidence, among the many more inflammatory options available. Furthermore, under Rule 414, Vonneida’s propensity to commit child molestation was probative of his intent that a minor engage in criminal sexual activity, which was centrally disputed in this case. We similarly dismiss (2d Cir.2004) (). III.

Footnote 11 cites a single case, North Carolina v. Temple, 134 U.S. 22, 10 S.Ct. 509, 33 L.Ed. 849 (1890), which concerned a private bondholder’s suit to compel a state auditor to levy a tax, the proceeds of which would be used to pay interest to holders of state bonds. In a half-page opinion, the Supreme Court dismissed the suit on sovereign immunity grounds. Id. at 30, 10 S.Ct. 509 (“We think it perfectly clear that the suit against the auditor in this case was virtually a suit against the State of North Carolina. In this regard it comes within the principle of the cases of [Ju-mel], [Cunningham], [Hagood], and [In re Ayers].”). Temple, in turn, cited four cases involving bondholders. See Louisiana v. Jumel, 107 U.S. 711, 720-23, 2 S.Ct. 128, 27 L.Ed. 448 (1883) (); Cunningham v. Macon & Brunswick R.R.

The majority’s implicit assumption that terrorism is different, and must be treated differently, thus flies in the face of the congressionally sanctioned structure of sentencing that applies to terrorism as well as all other kinds of federal criminal offenses. Our courts are well equipped to treat each offense and offender individually, and we should not create special sentencing rules and procedures for terrorists. In presiding over the many terrorism-related cases on their dockets, courts have treated other issues in terrorism cases in ways that do not differ appreciably from more broadly applicable doctrines. See, e.g., Ashcroft v. al-Kidd, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 2074, 2079, 2083, 179 L.Ed.2d 1149 (2011) (); Jewel v. Nat’l Sec.

Blanco’s History of Misconduct. The parties seeking conversion spent most of the trial presenting evidence about Debtor’s and Blanco’s prepetition misconduct. Such misconduct can constitute “cause” under § 1112(b), though in most cases it is relevant to whether the debtor filed a petition in bad faith. In re Melendez Concrete Inc., 2009 WL 2997920, at *3 (Bankr.D.N.M.2009); In re Frieouf, 938 F.2d 1099, 1105 (10th Cir.1991). As Debtor correctly points out, entities seeking bankruptcy relief typically have a history of lax business and accounting practices. In re Colorado-Ute Elec. Ass’n, Inc., 120 B.R. 164, 174 (Bankr.D.Colo.1990) (). Consequently, a showing of some prepetition ### Response: recognizing that typically there is some degree of mismanagement or incompetence in most businesses which file for protection under chapter 11 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and it must affirmatively appear from the face of the petition that the legal provision in question involves a clear mandate of public policy.’ ” Misischia v.

Where plaintiff “fail[s] to identify any specific statute, constitutional provision or regulation that was violated,” a trial court does not err in dismissing the plaintiffs claim. Id.; see also Porter v. Reardon Mach. Co., 962 S.W.2d 932, 939 (Mo.Ct.App.1998). For example, “[v]ague reference to ‘theft’ and ‘misuse’ of [the employer’s] own property are insufficient to state a claim under the ‘narrow’ public policy exception.” Link v. K-Mart Corp., 689 F.Supp. 982, 985 (W.D.Mo.1988) (). Similarly, where a plaintiff failed to plead ### Response: holding that where plaintiff alleged that he was terminated for reporting the misuses and thefts of company telephone services by three managers the misuse and theft of merchandise by an assistant manager and the misuse and theft of food merchandise by a merchandise manager plaintiffs complaint failed to state a claim because it did not implicate any statute regulation or constitutional provision and did not allege that he was disciplined for reporting either to his supervisor or to a public agency violations of a well established and clear public policy that places a positive duty upon the employer " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and third examples show how the OOKeyMan software manages and tracks encrypted objects that may be transmitted between different applications, such as between WordPerfect® and Microsoft Word®. Id. col. 7 ll. 54-61, col. 9 l. 4-col. 11 l. 11. The defendants contend that these examples only disclose generic software and not a specific algorithm. We disagree. It is true that “black box” disclosures of software are often too generic to provide corresponding structure for computer-implemented means-plus-function limitations. E.g., Blackboard, Inc. v. Desire2Learn Inc., 574 F.3d 1371, 1383 (Fed.Cir.2009) (“The ACM is essentially a black box that performs a recited function. But how it does so is left undisclosed.”); ePlus, Inc. v.

Davis, 90 P.3d 1216, 1221 (Cal. 2004). NRS 18.015(3) promotes these policies by requiring an attorney to serve notice and perfect a charging lien in a timely manner. Diligent perfection of the lien under NRS 18.015(3) ensures that the client, the client’s opponent in the litigation, and others have notice of the attorney’s hen and may conduct the litigation and deal with any recovery it produces accordingly. A timely motion to adjudicate and enforce the charging lien under NRS 18.015(4) also enables the court to evaluate the lien while it has jurisdiction over any affirmative recovery, while the attorney’s performance is fresh in its mind, and before the judgment is satisfied and the proceeds are distributed. See Weiland v. Weiland, 814 So. 2d 1252, 1253 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2002) (); Sowder, 911 P.2d at 1038 (holding that a law ### Response: holding that notice was untimely where the attorney waited to establish the lien until approximately two months after the case concluded " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the movant shall be deemed admitted for the purpose of summary judgment unless specifically controverted by the opposing party.” See Ruby v.

Accordingly, all facts set forth in the Court's statement of facts will be taken from defendant Webco's motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 63) and defendant’s suggestions in support (Doc. No. 64) unless otherwise specified. 2 . The Court recognizes there is no consensus in this circuit as to whether a presumption of a palpable conflict of interest applies when the entity both funds and administers the plan. The Eighth Circuit recognized the lack of consensus in Kecso, 480 F.3d at 853, fn. 1. Compare Tillery v. Hoffman Enclosures, Inc., 280 F.3d 1192, 1197 (8 th Cir.2002)(), Schatz v. Mut. of Omaha Ins.

(reversing the district court’s refusal to hold an evidentiary hearing pri- or to terminating the consent decree, reasoning that “[i]t would read all meaning out of [§ 3626(b)(3) ] to force the party opposing termination to show that the consent decree meets the requirements of § 3626(b)(3) and then not provide that party with the opportunity to present evidence on that point”), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 1061, 120 S.Ct. 613, 145 L.Ed.2d 509 (1999); Berwanger, 178 F.3d at 839-40 (); Benjamin, 172 F.3d at 166 (“In sum, we ### Response: holding that the district court erred by letting more than a year pass after the motion for termination was filed without action and then terminating the decree under 3626b2 without making any findings and explaining that the district court must hold an evidentiary hearing if there are disputed issues of material fact " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: made the first offer by bidding on the contract. Whether Dinwiddie’s bid, to which it attached the Qualifications and Exclusions document, was an offer or a counteroffer, we conclude that there is at least a triable issue whether Dinwiddie intended, at the time that it submitted its bid documents, to be bound by the No Damages for Delay Provisions. 2 . At most, United suggests that the No Damages for Delay Provisions and other parts of the Contract evidence contrary intent because they evidence United’s desire to avoid all costs associated with delay damages. But this conclusory statement that a certain contract provision has a certain meaning does not suffice to create a triable issue of fact. See Lujan v.

Although it had a rocky start, see, e.g., Ashton, 298 U.S. at 530-32, 56 S.Ct. 892 (invalidating the initial act), Congress eventually succeeded in avoiding a Tenth Amendment problem. It did so in part by requiring a state’s consent in the federal municipal bankruptcy regime before permitting municipalities of that state to seek relief under it, and in part by emphasizing that the statute did not effect “ ‘any restriction on the powers of the States or their arms of government in the exercise of their sovereign rights and duties.’ ” See, e.g., United States v. Bekins, 304 U.S. 27, 49-54, 58 S.Ct. 811, 82 L.Ed. 1137 (1938) (quoting H.R.Rep. No. 75-517, at 2 (1937); S.Rep. No. 75911, at 2 (1937)) (); cf. McConnell & Picker, 60 U. Chi.

See Fed. R.Crim.P. 32(i)(3)(B) (requiring district courts to rule on disputed portions of the PSR or determine that such a ruling is unnecessary). Defendant recognizes that even if the district court’s lack of explanation violated Rule 32(i)(3)(B), we may review only for plain error, as he failed to specifically object to this omission at sentencing.

This line of argument fails to account for the many parents who strive to maintain family relationships despite divorce, and also misperceives the underlying purpose of the doctrine. The primary focus of the parental immunity doctrine in Connecticut is the protection of the relationship between the parent and the child. The protection of that relationship enables the parent to raise the child effectively without undue interference from the state. See Mesite v. Kirchenstein, supra, 109 Conn. 84 (); Dubay v.

The District Court committed no error in finding that Marranea was not entitled to a Franks hearing. United States v. Brown, 3 F.3d 673, 678 (3d Cir.1993). In the alternative, Marranea contends that even if he is unable to make a substantial preliminary showing on the reckless or intentional withholding of information from the affidavits, the District Court should have conducted an ex parte, in camera review of the confidential informants’ statements to determine whether he was entitled to a Franks hearing. We have previously held that ex parte, in camera review is unnecessary in instances such as Marranca’s. See Brown, 3 F.3d at 680 ().

After applying all of the relevant factors, the district court ultimately sentenced defendant to sixty months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, and a $600 special assessment. Defendant appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for a “safety valve” reduction under U.S.S.G. § 501.2(a). II. Analysis We review a district court’s interpretation of a sentencing guideline de novo and “a court’s factual determination of whether a ... guideline applies in a particular case under a clearly erroneous standard.” United States v.

Both the Fifth and Sixth Circuits, in contrast, have held that the applicability of the threat-of-death enhancement is a legal determination. See United States v. Soto-Martinez, 317 F.3d 477, 478-79 (5th Cir.2003) (); United States v.

However, Bradley, would lead one to believe that these two crimes would count as separate transactions, making this Appellant’s fourth strike. Moreover, even if we were to consider the two February crimes to be one previous transaction, the 1996 criminal event is clearly separate and Appellant would be on his third strike. 2 . A secondary problem with the case sub judi-ce is that the penalty is facially harsh. A twenty-five year mandatory minimum for a seemingly minor offense of burglary of $76.00 and a brassiere is extreme. However, no challenge is before us concerning the constitutionality of the punishment. See Ewing v. California, 538 U.S. 11, 123 S.Ct. 1179, 155 L.Ed.2d 108 (2003) () (citing Rummel v.

In State v. Sewell, 487 S.W.2d 716, 717 (Tex.1972), the members of a local grievance committee sought mandamus to command a district judge to vacate an order that temporarily enjoined the grievance committee from concluding a hearing on matters before the committee which had been previously considered by the committee at two earlier hearings. The Supreme Court of Texas vacated the circuit court’s injunction and held that the committee’s prior decisions did not rise to the level of a final determination on the merits of the complaints before them. See id. at 718. Therefore, the matters before the grievance committee were not barred by the doctrine of res judicata. See id.; see also State v.

The nominative fair use doctrine. SBR’s third objection to Plaintiffs’ trademark claims is the nominative fair use doctrine. This doctrine divides trademark “use” from trademark “mention.” To use a mark as a mark — a “trademark use” — the defendant must attempt to identify the source of the mark with the defendant itself. See Rescuecom Corp. v. Goose Inc., 562 F.3d 123, 128-31 (2d Cir.2009) (contrasting trademark use with “use in commerce”). “Trademark mention” is any other use of a mark; it is “to refer to a particular product for purposes of comparison, criticism, point of reference or any other such purpose.” New Kids on the Block v.

(citations omitted). The Dentco Investment Co., Inc. case, although more closely resembling the facts in this dispute, is clearly distinguishable. In this case, there is no evidence that Parametric contracted with NMP to design a computer system capable of meeting NMP’s needs. The dispute involves a sales contract, and any system design was left specifically to NMP’s discretion. Whether Oklahoma courts would apply the economic loss rule to this dispute or not, NMP cannot pursue a gross negligence claim against Parametric because there is no duty imposed on Parametric outside the scope of the Licensing Agreement and the warranties contained therein.

We find it dispositive that the district court based its injunctive relief on appellants’ lack of standing to bring suit, because (1) lack of standing does constitute a final judgment for res judicata and collateral estoppel purposes, and (2) standing is determined by procedural rules. See Nor-West Cable Comm. Partnership v. City of St Paul, 924 F.2d 741, 746-47 (8th Cir.1991) (classifying standing as an appealable procedural issue reviewed for clear error); see also Dresser v.

Even if issue preclusion were imposed here, it of course would not prevent Snyder from relying on evidence relevant to the earlier rulings to prove a fact other than those conclusively resolved in the prior proceedings. See Simon v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 412, 258 S.E.2d 567, 572 (1979); Dorn v.

Duress Olmsted asserts that the District threatened to file termination charges against him when it had no intention or grounds to do so. Olmsted further asserts that in light of Minnesota law that requires “[a] school board [to] report to the Board of Teaching ... when a teacher or administrator is suspended or resigns while an investigation is pending,” see Minn. Stat. § 122A.20, subd. 2, the District illegally promised not to report him if he resigned.

Although CUTPA may be applied to the insurance industry, to enjoy the protections of McCarran-Ferguson, a statute must be more than just capable of application to insurance, but must have been ""enacted ... for the purpose of regulating the business of insurance.” 15 U.S.C. § 1012(b).

All refusals to deal, however, are not beyond the reach of the antitrust laws. The Supreme Court has explicitly ruled that When the manufacturer’s actions, as here, go beyond mere announcement of his policy and the simple refusal to deal, and he employs other means which effect adherence to his resale prices, this countervailing consideration [the right of the manufacturer to decide with whom to deal] is not present and therefore he has put together a combination in violation of the Sherman Act.

Indeed, recognizing the economic penalty claimants’ counsel may incur by filing an appeal, the Benefits Review Board has held that counsel may request fee enhancements as supplemental fee petitions and not as requests to reopen fee awards that have become final.

The Extent to Which Employees Are Integral to Business Turning to the final factor, the Court does find that drivers were integral to Defendants’ business. Indisputably, Defendants’ business could not function without drivers, and Defendants wisely do not argue to the contrary. (See Defs.’ Mem. 19). See also Ansoumana v.

While these cases hold that credit reporting agencies may rely on blanket cer tifications rather than having to verify credit requests individually, none provides that a blanket certification by itself is sufficient to satisfy the § 1681e inquiry.

It is telling that defendants’ own expert testified that he is not aware of any jail that conducts strip searches of all detainees charged only with misdemeanors without giving those detainees the option to remain outside of the jail’s general population. Moreover, courts have noted that a general policy to place detainees charged with minor offenses in the general jail population along with persons charged with more serious crimes does not justify a blanket strip search policy.

The two types of IOC activity alleged are requiring USOC’s adherence to the Olympic Charter, and providing money for the USOC’s administrative costs. Shepherd argues his injuries are related to the discrimination to which USOC subjected him while USOC operated in Colorado as a result of his employment status with USOC under the ADA and against him as an Olympic class athlete under the Rehabilitation Act. (Comply 23.) As discussed, however, he does not suggest IOC was involved in any of the employment decisions out of which his cause of action arises. Moreover, USOC’s minimum contacts with Colorado are insufficient to impose personal jurisdiction on IOC. See Reynolds v.

Scur-lock, 52 F.3d 531, 541-42 (5th Cir.1995), unlike the Eighth Circuit, we have not required a specific “targeting” of a vulnerable victim beyond the requirement that the defendant knew or should have known of the vulnerability. The Third Circuit, which had not addressed whether specific targeting was required, followed the First, Second, and Ninth Circuits in holding that § 3A1.1 contained no targeting requirement. United States v. Cruz, 106 F.3d 1134, 1138-39 (3rd Cir.1997); see also United States v. Hershkowitz, 968 F.2d 1503, 1506 (2d Cir.1992) (declining to impose a specific targeting requirement); United States v. O'Brien, 50 F.3d 751, 755 (9th Cir.1995) (same); United States v.

We have recognized that the right to such a hearing is subject to waiver by failure to properly challenge the confession in the trial court. United States v. Gonzalez, 548 F.2d 1185, 1190 (5th Cir.1977). The Supreme Court has also held, in applying the rule of Jackson v. Denno on habeas corpus review, that the “Constitution does not require a voluntariness hearing absent some contemporaneous challenge to the use of the confession.” Wainwright v. Sykes, 433 U.S. 72, 86, 97 S.Ct. 2497, 53 L.Ed.2d 594 (1977). In the ordinary case, a defendant who fails to raise the issue of voluntariness has waived it. United States v. Renteria, 625 F.2d 1279, 1283 (5th Cir.1980); see also United States v. Knezek, 964 F.2d 394, 397-98 (5th Cir.1992) ().

Naxos Has Not Competed Unfairly Since Capitol has no rights in the original recordings, it cannot charge Naxos with unfair competition. As both parties agree, unauthorized copying without more is not actionable. (Def.’s Mem. at 16; Pl.’s Opp. Mem. at 18.) See Leonard Storch Enters., Inc. v.

A plaintiff only has a viable claim where it also has exclusive, cognizable rights to the property it seeks to prevent from copying. E.g., Hebrew Publ’g Co. v. Scharfstein, 288 N.Y. 374, 376-77, 43 N.E.2d 449 (1942) (); G. Ricordi & Co. v.

The trial court also ordered defendant to complete two years of work release as a condition of his probation. Defendant thereafter initiated this appeal and, subsequently, violated the terms of his probation. Consequently, while this appeal was pending and without a limited remand, the trial court removed defendant from the work release program, revoked his probation, and sentenced him to four years in communi ty corrections for first degree burglary. The remaining sentences were left intact and concurrent. I. We first address, and reject, defendant’s contention that the trial court lacked jurisdi 2 (Colo.1984) (). In People v.

While both actions stem from the same project and contractual relationship, each is premised on a different wrong arising from different occurrences. Upon completion of the lien foreclosure, the only issue decided will have been whether labor and materials were provided for which the Joint Venture has failed to pay. A decision on that claim, which has been asserted only in state court, will not foreclose the issue of whether Controlled Air breached the subcontract and whether the Joint Venture incurred damages as a result. Accordingly, the state lien foreclosure action will not dispose of all issues in the federal contract action. See, e.g., George Weis Co. v. Stratum Design-Build, Inc., 227 S.W.3d 486, 489-90 (Mo.2007) ().

Alvarado-Casas suggests that because we have yet to uphold a conviction for aggravated alien smuggling against a factual basis challenge where, as here, the defendant was not the direct or immediate causer of the serious bodily injury, the district court’s error is clear and obvious, citing Garcia-Pautin, 627 F.3d at 132 (). Although the absence of precedent is relevant ### Response: holding that district courts acceptance of a defendants guilty plea to bringing an unlawful alien into the united states under 8 usc 1324alai was plain error in part because the defendant did not accompany or arrange to have a person accompany the alien across the border and we have found no case where a defendant has been convicted under clause i of this statute for bringing an alien into the united states except where the defendant accompanied or arranged to have the alien accompanied as in a smuggling operation across the border " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: years is the maximum sentence a judge may impose without any additional findings by a jury. However, HRS § 706-668.5 (1993) provides in relevant part that “[m]ultiple terms of imprisonment imposed at the same time run concurrently unless the court orders or the statute mandates that the terms run consecutively.” The imposition of prison terms in consecutive sequence, then, does not result in “an increase beyond the maximum authorized statutory sentence,” Apprendi, 530 U.S. at 496 n. 19, 120 S.Ct. 2348, ie., beyond one that can be imposed simply on the jury verdict and, thus, does not implicate Apprendi and its progeny. However, the court’s discretion in imposing a consecutive sentence is still circumscribed. See, e.g., State v. Vellina, 106 Hawai'i 441, 450, 106 P.3d 364, 373 (2005) (); State v.

Section 543, setting forth the obligations of a custodian, utilizes the term “disbursement” in subsections (a) and (c). See 11 U.S.C. § 543(a), (c). Section 543(a) prohibits a custodian, with knowledge of the commencement of the debtor’s case, from “mak[ing] any disbursement from, or take any action in the administration of, property of the debtor, proceeds, product, offspring, rents, or profits of such property, or property of the estate, in the possession, custody or control of such custodian....” Id. § 543(a).

Thus, a common element of both the public interest exception and the capable of repetition exception is that the complained of action be capable of repetition yet not effectively reviewable. Even if we were to recognize a public interest exception to the mootness doctrine, this case does not meet the suggested requirements. Id. The Texas Supreme Court has as yet not recognized the public interest exception to the mootness doctrine and judicial restraint compels us to wait until that court decides to resolve the split in authority in the intermediate appellate courts. See, e.g., Securtec, Inc. v. County of Gregg, 106 S.W.3d 803, 810-11 (Tex.App.-Texarkana 2003, pet. denied) (); State Farm Mut. Automobile Ins.

Although Appellee, Kendra O. Naylor, assigned a $20,000 value to “Mise. Tools” in her financial affidavit when listing marital assets, she acknowledged during the dissolution hearing that that was a “blanket statement ... with no specifics.” She further acknowledged that she had no written documentation showing what tools the couple had, and she gave no testimony regarding any specific tools. Based upon the foregoing, we reverse the final judgment as to the trial court’s $20,000 valuation of the tools and remand the case for further proceedings as to this issue. See Lassett v.

Record at 44. That impression was reenforced by Mr. Mills’ subsequent testimony that CK later asked him “to help her with taking out anger on others.” Record at 47. Given that the patient was a 6 year-old child and unlikely to have much intellectual appreciation of the role of mental health professionals, we find CK’s articulation of a desire for Mr. Mills to help her with an emotional problem to be convincing evidence of her understanding that she was seeing Mr. Mills as part of some treatment that was supposed to benefit her. Consequently, she would have had the necessary motivation to speak truthfully that supports this exception to the hearsay rule. See Clark; Edens; Dean; White; cf. United States v.

Initially, we note that a number of cases from other circuits have held that confiscating an inmate’s legal papers and other property constitutes sufficient injury to support a First Amendment retaliation claim. See Penrod v.

Section 14-27.4’s gravamen, or gist, is to criminalize the performance of a sexual act with a child. The statutory definition of “sexual act” does not create disparate offenses, rather it enumerates the methods by which the single wrong of engaging in a sexual act with a child may be shown. Furthermore, our Supreme Court has expressly determined that disjunctive jury instructions do not risk nonunani-mous verdicts in first-degree sexual offense cases. State v. McCarty, 326 N.C. 782, 784, 392 S.E.2d 359, 360 (1990) (upholding jury instruction that the defendant could be found guilty of first-degree sexual offense “if [the jury] found [the] defendant [had] engaged in either fellatio or vaginal penetration”); Hartness, 326 N.C. at 565, 391 S.E.2d at 179 ().

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We reverse and remand for resentencing. As an initial matter, the government contends this appeals is barred by the written appeal waiver in Ceja-Romero’s plea agreement. We disagree. The district court unequivocally stated that the appeal was barred “so long as [CejaRomero was] sentenced in accordance with the sentencing guidelines.” The district court’s clear statement therefore controls over the provisions of the appeal waiver. See United States v. Buchanan, 59 F.3d 914, 917-18 (9th Cir.1995). Our decision in United States v. Schuman, 127 F.3d 815, 817 (9th Cir.1997) (per curiam), does not compel a contrary r P.3d 942 (2000) ().

We think that these allegations, if proven, would make out a viable claim for fraudulent misrepresentation. See Kerr v. Shurtleff, 218 Mass. 167, 105 N.E. 871, 872 (1914) ().

Certain types of statements are generally not materially misleading. “Puffery” is one such type. Puffery is an optimistic statement that is so vague, broad, and non-specific that a reasonable investor would not rely on it, thereby rendering it immaterial as a matter of law. See id. at 206. However, the mere fact that a statement uses conclusory, indefinite, and unverifiable terms, rather than expressing a reason in dollars and cents, does not compel a conclusion that it is immaterial as a matter of law.

Absent any evidence that juveniles at JJC-operated facilities were educated about this procedure or had access to the materials necessary to utilize it, the Court cannot find this to be an available remedy that O’Neill was required to exhaust.

Despite the appellant’s suggestion to the contrary, we do not find in Perry a set of factors the trial court must employ to determine the reliability of eyewitness testimony.

In arguing on appeal that exhibits 1 and 2 should not have been admitted into evidence, Mr. Patino relies on th been admitted as full exhibits when respondent’s counsel at a later point in time raised a hearsay objection with respect to those exhibits, that hearsay objection was untimely and therefore waived.

General deterrence is effective in the context of white collar crime such as Edwards’s bank fraud and bankruptcy fraud. “Defendants in white collar crimes often calculate the financial gain and risk of loss, and white collar crime therefore can be affected and reduced with serious punishment.” Martin, 455 F.3d at 1240 ().

Thus, the only remaining issue to be resolved is the ownership of the property itself, which is an issue that remains only under the state law doctrine of abandonment. Il.Jurisdiction Over State Law Claims The District Court concluded that because Plaintiffs had not raised an issue of fact regarding a federal claim, its original jurisdiction was extinguished, and the case should be remanded to the state court.

See Endo, 83 Hawai'i at 94, 924 P.2d at 581. Thus, in our jurisdiction, upholding a mis-dated warrant would constitute an application of the ""good faith” exception where it has been previously rejected. Ultimately, how the ""good faith” exception is applied or formulated in other jurisdictions is irrelevant, since, as noted, Endo would hold the warrant was invalid.

Defendant argues Plaintiff waived any right to seek reimbursement under her no-fault coverage for the additional expenses when she entered into a settlement agreement with her workers’ compensation provider. Under the facts alleged, I disagree. Under New York law, if a claimant has her workers’ compensation claim denied — as Plaintiffs evidence shows her claim was — such claims are not “recovered or recoverable.” See Hartford Ins. Group v.

In sum, the plaintiffs’ proposed remedy is injunctive in nature and may be pursued under 23(b)(2). (2) SJC Opinion Philip Morris argues that the SJC effectively closed off the possibility of class certification under Rule 23(b)(2) because it held medical monitoring to be a legal, not equitable, claim.

Id. For the reasons explained below, the court concludes that no rational trier of fact could confuse the “Big Dog Motorcycles” mark with the “Big Dog(s)” apparel marks as those marks are encountered by consumers in the marketplace. Accordingly, summary judgment in favor of Motorcycles is warranted. A. Degree of Similarity Between the Marks The court examines the degree of similarity between the marks on three levels: sight, sound, and meaning. King of the Mountain Sports, 185 F.3d at 1090. These factors must be evaluated “in the context of the marks as a whole as they are encountered by consumers in the marketplace.” Id. at. 1090 (quotation omitted).

Given her approximately 15 attempts at suicide, this continued reference to a “life not worth living” suggests she still sees suicide as a remedy for her problems. It is not in R.A.’s best interest to place him in an environment where his sole caretaker, who has attempted suicide at least 15 times, sees suicide as a solution to problems. In light of all the evidence, the trial court could have reasonably formed a firm belief or conviction that termination of Jordan’s parental rights was in R.A.’s best interest. Accordingly, we hold the evidence is both legally and factually sufficient to support the trial court’s finding that termination of Jordan’s parental rights was in the best interest of R.A.

C. Past Practices The district court also ruled that Arbitrator Murphy failed to “arguably construe” the CBA because he “failed to look to past practices of the parties to interpret any ambiguity” of the CBA. The district court found that under “long-recognized practice, Smucker and the Union allowed employees who were bumped from their position by a more senior employee’s exercise of bumping rights to bump a less senior employee.” But the Sixth Circuit has held that past practices should not be used to interpret or give meaning to a provision or clause of an agreement that is clear and unambiguous.

We don’t take lightly the assertion that a prosecutor has violated his ethical duties, and suppressing evidence is a stiff penalty. Thus, we typically demand full development of these issues in the district court. Cf. United States v. Thomas, 474 F.2d 110, 112 (10th Cir. 1973) (). We lack the benefit of that development here. ### Response: holding that the problem is initially one for the trial courts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the other states cited by the Inter-Tel Technologies court that specified a procedural mechanism to initiate piercing the corporate veil and that would differentiate the circumstances in those states from those at issue in Michigan. In light of the foregoing, we hold that plaintiffs were entitled to bring a new action in an attempt to enforce the prior Kasper judgment against Persha. While we continue to recognize that piercing the corporate veil is merely a remedy to be applied in certain limited circumstances, the concern that there be a separate cause of action to support this type of equitable relief does not arise when, as in this case, there already exists a judgment based on one or more causes of action. See Union Guardian Trust Co v Rood, 308 Mich 168, 172; 13 NW2d 248 (1944) ().

This is a First Amendment claim, but it is dismissed for the following reasons. 1. Applicable Law To establish that defendants violated plaintiffs’ First Amendment speech rights, plaintiffs must establish that (1) the speech at issue was protected; (2) they suffered an adverse employment action; and (3) there was a causal connection between the protected speech and the adverse employment action. Mt. Healthy City Sch. Dist. Bd. of Educ. v. Doyle, 429 U.S. 274, 283-85, 97 S.Ct. 568, 50 L.Ed.2d 471 (1977); Sheppard v.

See Complaint at 148-152. While the License Agreement — and thus the License Agreement's forum-selection clause— applies only to defendant SES America, the court dismisses the abandonment of the Marks claim against the other four defendants for the following reasons. First, in the License Agreement, the parties agreed that SES America ""is the owner and/or has the right to license” the Marks. Thus, it appears from the record before the court that SES America has some interest, and perhaps the sole interest, in the Marks. As a result, it is likely that SES America is an indispensable party to any abandonment claim concerning the Secure Eco Shred Marks. See Havana Club Holding, S.A. v. Galleon, S.A., 974 F.Supp. 302, 310 (S.D.N.Y.1997) (); see also MasterCard Int’l, Inc. v.

Plaintiff does not attempt to identify a single similarly situated male who engaged in a single act of work performance deficiencies similar to, or as serious as, any of those cited by defendant as grounds for plaintiffs termination. Therefore, under defendant’s interpretation of “same or similar conduct,” plaintiff has not met her burden in establishing a prima facie case for summary judgment purposes. In summary, regardless of how “same or similar conduct” is defined, plaintiff is unable to establish the third element of her prima facie case. Thus, her claim of sex discrimination fails and it is unnecessary to examine the fourth element of a prima facie case or the issue of pretext. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986) (). See also Hawkins v.

For the reasons set forth below, the defendant’s objections are OVERRULED, and the Court hereby ACCEPTS and ADOPTS Magistrate Judge Limbert’s R & R. II. ANALYSIS When a party timely objects to a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation on a motion to suppress, a district court must conduct a de novo review of those portions of the report and recommendation to which objection is made.

Specifically, Barton alleges that Whatabur-ger’s employees committed the following acts of negligence: (1) store manager Da-vilyn Spencer left her safe key at the restaurant at the end of her shift; (2) Murray left his shift early without notifying Spencer; (3) Murray failed to count the money in the registers and deposit the excess in the safe at the end of his shift; and (4) eted murder committed on premises of Sonic restaurant was not foreseeable result of Sonic’s failure to employ security guard); Boggs v. Bottomless Pit Cooking Team, 25 S.W.3d 818, 824-25 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2000, no pet.)

Mr. Hernandez cannot avoid the consequences of his inadequate appellate briefing by incorporating his filings in the district court.

We conclude, therefore, that the Board’s refusal to interpret the Fundamental Canons of the Laws and Rules of Professional Engineering was not error. III. Grievant next argues that the Board erred in concluding that his exercise of free speech was not a motivating factor in the employer’s insistence that he sign the certification. He claims that being forced to sign the certification under threat of disciplinary action or discharge' constitutes a retaliatory act on the part of the employer. He contends that while the Board properly concluded that the objections he raised throughout the certification were protected speech, it failed to consider as protected speech his refusal to sign the certification.

Berry, 39 Baylor L.Rev. 1131, 1188-89 (1987). At the time of the declaratory judgment, Daniel had elected to participate in the “30 and out” option, thereby fixing his pension benefits as matured, and presently available. This maturity marks the date for valuing the benefits, from which Maytag would set the amount of the benefits in conjunction with the Agreement. Cassandra, as alternate payee under the QDRO, should have been paid her proportionate share based on Maytag’s $2600 per month valuation. Any other resolution would be inequitable to Cassandra and such manipulation of the value as Daniel proposed is not anticipated under the Plan, the decree, or the QDRO.

The “unlawful act” course of conduct embodies the “misdemeanor-manslaughter rule” under which a criminal defendant is guilty of a felony for killing a human being while in the commission of a misdemeanor.

A finding that the new claims are not substantively identical in scope would result in the limitation of TTI’s potential recovery only to infringement of the claims for the period following the issuance of the reexamination certificate, but it would not preclude those claims. Laitram, 163 F.3d at 1346. CONCLUSION Because the district court did not err in dismissing the suit as moot in light of the cancellation of the only claims asserted in the case, we affirm. AFFIRMED 1 . Courts often treat justiciability doctrines, including standing and mootness, as a subset of subject-matter jurisdiction. See, e.g., Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, — U.S. —, 133. S.Ct. 1523, 1532, 185 L.Ed.2d 636 (2013) (). Nevertheless, the concepts derive from ### Response: holding that district court appropriately dismissed suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction when the case was moot " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: any effect that their interpretation gives to subsection (c)(2). Finally, petitioner’s reliance on the legislative history of § 106(c) is.also misplaced. He points in particular to floor statements to the effect that “section 106(c) permits a trustee or debtor in possession to assert avoiding powers under title 11 against a governmental unit.” See 124 Cong. Rec. 32394 (1978) (statement of Rep. Edwards); id., at 33993 (statement of Sen. DeConcini). The Government suggests that these statements should be construed as referring only to cases in which the debtor retains a possessory or ownership interest in the property that the trustee seeks to recover, Brief for United States 20, and cites as an example this Court’s decision in United States v. Whiting Pools, Inc., 462 U. S. 198 (1983) ().

Finally, the fact that the choice-of-law provision is contained in a distinct paragraph titled “Governing Law,” which also includes the forum-selection clause designating a Virginia federal district court as the proper forum, “counsels] in favor of a broad interpretation”-because that combination “manifests the intent to reduce uncertainty and proceed in one forum under one body of law.” Zaklit v. Glob. Linguist Sols., LLC, No. 1:14-cv-314, 2014 WL 3109804, at *11 (E.D. Va. July 8, 2014). In sum, the text of the choice-of-law provision points persuasively to the conclusion that the parties intended that Virginia law apply to tort and unjust enrichment claims related to the Agreement. See Freedman, 325 F.Supp.2d at 641, 653-54 (). This conclusion finds further firm support in ### Response: holding that a choiceoflaw provision providing that virginia law would govern the parties agreement clearly foreclosed plaintiff from bringing a tort claim that arose from the plaintiffs rights under the agreement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: with one count of stalking for his numerous phone calls to Nall. ¶30 However, Tichenor’s argument raising § 46-11-410, MCA, is being raised for the first time on appeal.

See Medina, 25 P.3d at 1223. Like the trial court, we must review the totality of the cireumstances known to the police officers at the time of the encounter to determine whether the police had reasonable suspicion to conduct a search and seizure.

Even if, as the concurrence suggests, the Court used this term in Graham — a case centering on the use of excessive force during an investigatory stop of a citizen, 490 U.S. at 388-89, 109 S.Ct. 1865 — to distinguish between the constitutional protections afforded to civilians, pretrial detainees, and incarcerated individuals, this says nothing about whether a claim that falls outside of these set boundaries is ""covered by” the Fourth Amendment. Where, as here, a non-citizen alleges excessive force abroad, and there is no indication that the show of authority was directed at apprehension, it cannot be that the claim arises under the Fourth Amendment or not at all. The cases the concurrence cites are not to the contrary. Cf. Lewis, 523 U.S. at 843-44, 118 S.Ct. 1708 (); Albright v.

Hence, this claim, too, fails. 5.

To be sure, the white bag was not in the appellant’s plain view or direct line of sight when he was ordered out of the passenger seat of the Honda. Proof that contraband is in a person’s plain view or line of sight can be sufficient to show the person had knowledge of its presence; it is not necessary to prove knowledge, however. As Judge Moylan explained in Folk, swpra, one of the common threads running through cases holding evidence sufficient to prove joint constructive possession, beyond a reasonable doubt, is “the fact that the contraband was wi ential to show knowledge of the presence of contraband, however. When an object is out of sight, it is not necessarily “out of mind.” Compare Colin v. State, 101 Md.App. 395, 407, 646 A.2d 1095 (1994) (). Also of critical importance here, the ### Response: holding that circumstantial evidence that the defendant was a passenger in a vehicle in which contraband was hidden in the compartment in a door reacted nervously when the vehicle was stopped and gave the officers a false name added up to a revealing picture that could reasonably be interpreted as showing that he had something to hide and knew where it was to be found " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: claim, plaintiffs must prove t. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009). [2] As to Zembiec’s remaining claims for relief, we affirm for substantially the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough opinion. [3] The district court did not err in denying Zembiec leave to amend his complaint. It reviewed the allegations in Zembiec’s proposed amended complaint and concluded that they failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. We agree that Zembiec’s amendment would have been futile. See Dougherty v. Town of N. Hempstead Bd. of Zoning Appeals, 282 F.3d 83, 88 (2d Cir.2002) ().

Interpreting ""manifest” to mean discoverable, moreover, is consistent with nature of an occurrence-based policy and with the expectations of the insured, as an occurrence of bodily injury or property damage — here, when the property became polluted, with each discharge of PCE, to a legally significant level — has nothing to do with when that injury or damage is discovered.

The WCJ conducted a hearing on September 16, 1996, at which Rox Coal asserted as an affirmative defense that Snizaski was ineligible for fatal claim benefits because Decedent’s death resulted from his violation of the law. Rox Coal relied upon the police report from the accident, submitted by Snizaski, which indicated that Decedent had been guilty of the following violations of the Vehicle Code: (1) careless driving; (2) driving at an unsafe speed; (3) driving on the wrong side of the road; and (4) failure to use a restraint system. Rox Coal relied on section 301(a) of the Act, which provides in relevant part as follows: Every employer shall be liable for compensation for personal injury to, o 7 Pa. 172, 146 A. 543 (1929) ().

In order to connect his attorney’s performance with the revocation of the March plea agreement, Ledezma argues that the apparently unintentional motion to withdraw guilty pleas caused the Government to file the motion to revoke the March plea agreement. A review of the record demonstrates otherwise. The motion to revoke cited Ledezma’s refusal both to stipulate to career offender status and to cooperate fully with law enforcement as the reasons for revoking the March plea agreement. See United States v. Brown, 801 F.2d 352, 354 (8th Cir.1986) ().

See Lopez v. INS, 184 F.3d 1097, 1100 (9th Cir.1999) (listing Lozada requirements necessary to establish ineffective assistance). Not only did petitioners properly comply with Matter of Lozada, 19 I & N Dec. 637 (BIA 1988), they also acted with due diligence upon discovering that their appeal had not been filed.

Section 3-3-36 had only one requirement, that a member have a service-related injury. Section 3-3-37 grandfathered members who had submitted an application for service-connected disability as of December 9,1996. Thus, according to Holt, although he qualified under section 3-3-36, it was impossible for him to submit his application timely because the earliest he could have submitted it, even if he had been aware of the changes on December 9,2000, was December 10,1996.

The Fourth Circuit has held that Rule 54(b) broadens the joint liability rule from Frow so that “just reason for delay” now includes preventing inconsistent judgments in situations in which multiple defendants are jointly and/or severally liable. See United States ex rel. Hudson v. Peerless Ins. Co., 374 F.2d 942, 944 (4th Cir.1967) (emphasis added).

The judge further stated: “All I can do is remove you right now, hope to protect society for the period of time that you are on release.” Id. at 22. Given the district judge’s consideration of the nature and circumstances of Smith’s offense, Smith’s history and conduct while on supervised release, and the need to protect society, it cannot be said that she did not consider the § 3553(a) factors.

ORS 418.747(4). That obligation, which included a duty of “immediate investigation,” arguably created a special relationship between the juvenile department, to whom the Union County allegations were referred, and the Union County victim. It did not, however, create a special relationship between the juvenile department and other persons, including the Malheur County victims, because there had been no allegation of child abuse regarding those victims.

Again, this provision has no bearing on Canon 5(A)(3).

We thus find no ambiguity in this regard. ¶ 11. Ultimately, respondent maintains that, even if the omission was intentional, the drafters’ departure from the Model Code was “unreasonable” and “does not make any sense.” The argument is essentially a variant of two others. One is that, however unambiguous, Canon 5(A)(3) nevertheless leads to absurd results that the drafters could not have intended. See Chayer v.

It does not hold a nonparty liable for an underlying judgment. The main line of authority relied upon by Bermudez consists of a series of cases from this court holding that a nonparty to litigation who funds and controls vexatious litigation can be deemed a party for purposes of paying costs and attorney’s fees. See Abu-Ghazaleh v. Chaul, 36 So.3d 691 (Fla. 3d DCA 2009) (attorney’s fees under civil theft statute); Visoly v. Sec. Pac.

Accordingly, the Court held that the officers investigating the case “had no due process duty to collect bloodstained articles found at the scene of the crime to preserve them for defendant’s use.” Id. at 490. C. While we recognize the rule that police officers generally have no duty to collect all potential evidence from a crime scene, we conclude that this rule is not absolute. We do not condone shoddy and inadequate police investigation procedures at the expense of a criminal defendant’s right to a fair trial. In some eases, the State’s failure to gather evidence may amount to suppression of material evidence. See Bradley, at 491 (noting that police “might have a duty at some point to seize an item of evidence”); People v. Vigil, 718 P.2d 496, 503 (Colo.1986) (en banc) (); State v.

The Trustee, Gor-dillo, testified the trust never had any money, did not pay any premiums on the policy, nor did she know the source of funds for any premium payments. Instead, the record shows premiums were paid by Houchins through his Bonded Life ac count. Under Tennessee law, a policy must be taken out in “good faith” and the rule is that if one procures a policy upon the life of another and pays the premiums, that party “must have an insurable interest in the life of that other, or the policy .will be a mere wager policy.” Clement, 46 S.W. at 661; Sun Life v.

The Second Circuit has yet to decide whether the Act should be applied retroactively. See Song v. Ives Laboratories, Inc., 957 F.2d 1041 (2d Cir.1992) (declining to address the retroactivity issue). District courts in this circuit have reflected the national trend, with a split of authority that generally favors non-retroactivity. See Croce, 786 F.Supp. 1141 (); McLaughlin v.

For evidence of past crimes to be admissible under Rule 404(b), the evidence must be (1) relevant to a material issue; (2) similar in kind and not overly remote in time to the charged crime; (3) supported by sufficient evidence; and (4) such that its potential prejudice does not substantially outweigh its probative value. Williams, 308 F.3d at 837. Betterton argues that his prior convictions were not relevant to a material issue. However, evidence of past drug-related crimes is relevant to establish knowledge and intent for the charged drug offense. See, e.g., United States v.

Thus, a rule that can control litigational extravagance and reduce piecemeal litigation is a necessity.” Id., 116 N.J. at 24, 560 A.2d 1169.

On appeal, Mason contends this improper argument violated her motion in limine because it informed the jury of the effect of its answers, it added to the burden already imposed on her by the jury charge’s improper comment on the weight of the evidence, and it required counsel to spend additional time rebutting the improper argument. Therefore, she contends, the trial court erred in denying her motion for mistrial. Again, however, because we do not have a complete reporter’s record, we are unable to review the evidence to determine if the verdict was based on the evidence or on the improper argument.

See Tose, 819 F.Supp. at 1319. The 1977 Casino Control Act establishes a comprehensive and elaborate regulatory framework for the casino industry, reflecting a concern that casinos be restrained in order to protect the public. See N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 to 190; see also Knight v. City of Margate, 86 N.J. 374, 380, 431 A.2d 833, 836-37 (1981). The Act typically regulates the gambling operators rather than penalizing the individual gamblers. For instance, casinos, rather than an underage gambler, are held liable when the latter enters a casino. See N.J.S.A. 5:12-119; see also Department of Law & Public Safety v.

An Edwards violation carries a “presumption of involuntariness,” Shatzer, 130 S.Ct. at 1220, that is not instantaneously ameliorated when police end an interrogation. Un der this Court’s precedent, a defendant’s statement made several hours after she requests counsel may be uncoerced and voluntary, see United States v. Valdez, 880 F.2d 1280, 1238-34 (11th Cir.1989), but a statement made “no more than a few minutes” after an Edwards violation does not meet the legal standard for voluntariness, see Gomez, 927 F.2d at 1536, 1538-39; cf. Henderson v. Singletary, 968 F.2d 1070, 1074 (11th Cir.1992) ().

However, in the court’s opinion, while certainly odd and unnecessary, it appears that Beard’s joinder in the removal petition does not render the removal defective. Neither, in the court’s opinion, may his joinder in the removal petition constitute a “voluntary appearance” that could be properly be equated with service of process, particularíy since a necessary premise of the removal notice was the lack of service of process on Beard.

Although the petitioners are correct in .their assertion that firefighters are civil service employees, they exaggerate the implications of that distinction. While the firefighters' status as civil servants entitles them to certain protections, such as the right to continued employment absent a showing a good cause for termination, their status as civil service employees does not entitle them to benefits of a perceived contractual obligation where no such obligation exists.

Because the initial reading of the letter by Gardner employees was a valid “entry” in constitutional terms, the “plain view” doctrine applies to justify the copying and forwarding of the letter to law enforcement officials.

Under Oregon law, a civil conspiracy is not an independent tort. Rather, it is a theory of mutual agency under which the acts of each of the conspirators are imputed to the other members for purposes of tort liability. The joint liability that arises from the acts of others is predicated on an agreement or meeting of the minds to accomplish an unlawful purpose, or a purpose not in itself unlawful by unlawful means, that results in an injury to another. Bonds v. Landers, 279 Or 169, 174-75, 566 P2d 513 (1977). Thus, in the absence of a statutory violation, a conspiracy is not tortious unless the underlying act itself is tortious. See Bliss v.

United States v. Terrigno, 838 F.2d 371, 374 (9th Cir.1988). At a minimum, the Ninth Circuit’s decision indicates that reasonable minds could differ as to the legality of the disputed condition, and any error was therefore not “plain.” We therefore affirm the district court’s imposition of the disputed term.

In Coeur d’Alene Mining, the Idaho Supreme Court examined UFA § 9 and the earlier version of UCC § 3-304(2), found that that earlier version of the UCC was consistent with the UFA, and concluded that the result would be the samé under both statutes. 118 Idaho at 818-19, 800 P.2d at 1032-33. However, Coeur d’Alene Mining is based on the original draft of Article 3 of the UCC. Id.

Kulch, 677 N.E.2d at 324. Kulch rejected the argument that a plaintiff may not premise a Greeley claim on the violation of a statute that itself provides civil remedies, holding that: [T]he civil remedies set forth in R.C. 4113.52 are not adequate to fully compensate an aggrieved employee who is discharged, disciplined, or otherwise retaliated against in violation of the statute. The existence of other remedies, therefore, does not render the public policy exception moot. Id.

New York courts have consistently held that counsel’s failure to ensure that the defendant testifies before the grand jury does not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel. See, e.g., People v.

The statutes provide any “person aggrieved” by a violation of Section 553 or 605 with a private right of action. See 47 U.S.C. §§ 553(c)(1), 605(c)(3)(A). Although Section 553 does not contain a definition of “person aggrieved,” Section 605(d) defines this term as “any person with proprietary rights in the intercepted communication by wire or radio, including wholesale or retail distributors of satellite cable programming .... ” 47 U.S.C. § 605(d)(6). Several courts have held that the unauthorized interception and broadcast of either satellite or cable transmissions violates both 47 U.S.C. §§ 553 and 605.

At the point the question was asked, the deviation did not change the detention from one of reasonable detention to one of unreasonable detention or require an individualized suspicion of intoxication.

A motion to dismiss based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction's an argument that the Court lacks the power to hear the class of cases to which the plaintiffs claim belongs.

Arthur Young relies on a sophism to obscure the law, which is that when the circumstances of a case so dictate, privity is not required for the court to award rescissory damages in a Rule 10b-5 case. As the Eleventh Circuit has concluded: “Though we recognize the harshness of this result given that the defendants were not the actual sellers of the stock and therefore must ‘rescind’ by paying an amount they in fact never received, the substantial role played by the defendants provides adequate justification for the award.” Bruschi v.

In our view, the EEOC similarly raises a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Boeing adequately responded to Miles’ complaints of harassment. While Boeing terminated one offending male employee and disciplined another, a reasonable jury could find that these two employees were part of a much larger problem with respect to Miles’ treatment.

Notably, in construing the significance of the position of the patrol car relative to a pedestrian-defendant, the United States Supreme Court has held that when an officer is in a patrol car pursuing a defendant who is on foot, that does not necessarily convey a message to the defendant that he is not free to leave or to disregard the police presence. See Michigan v. Chesternut, 486 U.S. 567, 575, 108 S.Ct. 1975, 1980, 100 L.Ed.2d 565 (1988) (). 9 .

Metro. Transit Auth., 796 F.2d 69 (5th Cir.1986) (same, where the previously litigated issue was whether an employee had been unlawfully discharged). What matters is whether the movant presents new evidence to support the motion, in addition to satisfying the other criteria of Rule 60(b)(2). See Waddell, 329 F.3d at 1309. By applying the wrong legal standard to Wortley’s Rule 60(b)(2) motion, the bankruptcy court abused its discretion. See Ameritas Variable Life Ins. Co., 411 F.3d at 1330. Even if the bankruptcy court’s statements can be construed as applying the standards of Rule 60(b)(2), it made clear errors of judgment and abused its discretion in applying those standards. See id.

For example, the bankruptcy court’s statement ### Response: holding that a court abuses its discretion by making clear errors of judgment " "### 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 overruled the objection, and appellant now contends that the trial court erred in doing so. Assuming that appellant properly preserved the issue for appeal by not objecting until the third question was asked, we find no error in the trial court’s ruling. Because appellant’s defense was that Payton Grant killed the victim after having sex with appellant and later planted the bloody shirt in appellant’s home and the victim’s driver’s license in his garbage, it was not improper for the prosecutor to question Investigator Morgan regarding the failure of appellant, who agreed to and did speak with the police, to mention that the red shirt was not his and that someone else put it in his home with the blood on it. See Seabolt v. Norris, 298 Ga. 583, 587 (783 SE2d 913) (2016) (); Johnson v.

As was said of the use of a similar activity fee at the University of Nebraska, “[w]ithin wide limitations a state is free to adopt such educational philosophy as it chooses. The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska obviously has embraced an educational philosophy that the education of students extends beyond that which takes place in the classroom.” Veed v.

The parental privilege defense comes down to ### Response: recognizing as peculiarly applicable to child abuse cases the principle that wjhere an act is equivocal in its nature and may be criminal or honest according to the intent with which it is done then other acts of the defendant and his conduct on other occasions may be shown in order to disclose the mastering purpose of the alleged criminal act quoting 1 whartons criminal evidence 350 at 520 11th ed " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: analysis. For extrinsic evidence to be admissible under the second step of the Beechum analysis, its prejudicial effect must not substantially outweigh its probative value. See Beechum, 582 F.2d at 913. The prejudicial effect of extrinsic evidence substantially outweighs its probative value when the relevant exception is uncontested because the incremental probative value of the extrinsic offense is inconsequential when compared to its prejudicial effect. United States v. Roberts, 619 F.2d 379, 382 (5th Cir.1980) (citing Beechum, 582 F.2d at 914). Accordingly, courts have generally held motive evidence is admissible only where the defendant contests the issue of motive or where motive is an element of the offense. See, e.g., United States v. Williams, 585 F.3d 703, 708 (2d Cir.2009) (); United States v. Siegel, 536 F.3d 306, 317-18 ### Response: holding extrinsic evidence of defendants motive to possess gun inadmissible where defendant did not contest the issue of motive " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the argument is without merit, as collateral estoppel merely requires that the party against whom the doctrine is invoked be a party in the prior case. See id. at 978. Neither are any of the other factors that we use to determine if a full and fair opportunity was present applicable. See Burrell v. Armijo, 456 F.3d 1159, 1172 (10th Cir.2006), cert. denied, 549 U.S. 1167, 127 S.Ct. 1132, 166 L.Ed.2d 893 (2007) (explaining that whether there were significant procedural limitations in the prior proceeding, whether the party had the incentive to litigate the issue fully, and whether effective litigation was limited by the nature or relationship of the parties are relevant factors for the full and fair opportunity element). Therefore this element is established. See Frandsen, 46 F.3d at 979 (). 9 .

Nonetheless, no published decision of an Alabama state or federal court appears to have interpreted that statute or otherwise addressed the rights of a deputy sheriff from Bibb County as they relate to due process or continued employment more generally. Further, the Alabama Supreme Court has recently noted some potential uncertainty as it relates to whether deputy sheriffs are subject to civil service protections afforded county employees. See Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 64 v. Personnel Bd. of Jefferson County, 103 So.3d 17, 20 n. 3 (Ala.2012); cf. Etowah County Com’n v. Grant, 10 So.3d 1009, 1012-13 (Ala.Civ.App.2007) ().

Fam.Code. Ann. § 52.025 (emphasis added); see Baptist Vie Le, 993 S.W.2d at 653. A “juvenile processing office” is “little more that a temporary stop for completing necessary paperwork pursuant to the arrest.” Baptist Vie Le, 993 S.W.2d at 654. Under the plain language of section 52.025(b), it may be used only for (1) the return of the child to a parent or guardian; (2) the completion of forms or records; (3) photographing and fingerprinting if the child; (4) the issuance of warnings; and (5) the receipt of a statement in compliance with section 51.095(a)(1), (2), (3), or (5) of the Family Code.

(AR, 1695.) Simply put, nothing in either the NMFS Opinion or the FWS Assessment at the outset of the Five-Year Plan suggested that BOEM’s administration of that Plan was likely to jeopardize endangered or threatened species or their critical habitat. So § 7(a)(2) did not require anything further of BOEM at the outset of the program. B. Reinitiation of Consultation. Of course, initial consultation may not insulate an agency from the duty to perform further consultation if circumstances change at a later date. See Wild Fish Conservancy v.

Evidence introduced at the suppression hearing made it clear that the area in question is one that is used for many purposes by different kinds of people-local residents use the roads as a shortcut, while both residents and tourists alike camp, hike, bike, picnic, and visit the local forest and national monument. Accordingly, it is hardly surprising that a Border Patrol agent would not recognize every passing car. Similarly, the fact that a van is registered to an address in a block notorious for smuggling is also of no significance and may not be given any weight. See United States v. Jimenez-Medina, 173 F.3d 752, 755 (9th Cir.1999) ().

The fact that the convictions thus obtained must now be vacated is the result of extraordinary circumstances outside the State’s control. 124 Wn. App. at 342. We agree. ¶23 In Andress, the Supreme Court made the extraordinary decision to go behind a facially valid judgment and sentence in a collateral attack and then beyond the plain language of the statute to interpret the legislature’s intent 30 years ago when it enacted the second degree felony murder statute. Accordingly, we, like Division One, also hold that this nearly unprecedented procedure triggered the “ends of justice” exception to another procedural rule — the mandatory joinder rule set out in CrR 4.3.1. See Ramos, 124 Wn. App. at 337; see also Wright, 131 Wn. App. 474 (). ¶24 Both the trial court and this court are ### Response: holding the states failure to request an intentional murder instruction at the initial trial had no effect on the states ability to proceed on that alternative and rejecting the defendants claims under the mandatory joinder rule " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: means of determining what discovery sanction is just,” but rather “a way for a district judge to think about what to do.” Valley Engineers, Inc. v.

In order to support a finding that a defendant committed a murder to avoid arrest, the State must show beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant’s dominant or only motive for the murder of the victim, who is not a law enforcement officer, is the elimination of a witness. Menendez v. State, 368 So.2d 1278 (Fla.1979). “Proof of the requisite intent to avoid arrest and detection must be very strong” to support this aggravating circumstance when the victim is not a law enforcement officer.

Only one of those creditors— Dormin Shipping — has objected to the relief sought by the foreign representative. Dormin is free to argue to the Danish bankruptcy court that Dormin has a superior claim to the amount it successfully garnished before the Danish bankruptcy commenced. Finally, the Objecting Creditors also assert that even if the Court grants comity to the Danish proceeding, the Rule B attachments should remain in force because comity is not one of the listed grounds for vacating a Rule B attachment under the Second Circuit’s decision in Aqua Stoli, 460 F.3d at 436. But the application of comity very often has the effect of overriding domestic legal doctrines or rules. See, e.g., In re Ephedra Prods. Liab.

This Court perceived no error: [Wright] relies on the provision in Md. Rule 4-326(a) (which says, among other things) that “[U]nless the court for good cause shown orders otherwise, the jury may also take ... exhibits which have been admitted into evidence ...” into the jury room.

In their appellate brief, the Cobbs state that their second cause of action asserts sufficient facts to state a claim for breach of implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Neb. U.C.C. § 2-315 (Reissue 1992) provides and defines such an action, and it states: Where the seller at the time of contracting has reason to 320 (1993) (); Johnson v.

Chandler, 145 F.3d at 1358-59. This reasoning is consistent with the holding in eases where courts have decided whether appellate fees may be assessed for appeals pending on the effective date of the PLRA. For example, in Abdul-Wadood v. Nathan, 91 F.3d 1023, 1025 (7th Cir.1996), the court held that it could not dismiss two remaining appeals as ftivolous because appellant had used up his allotted “three strikes” during the pendency of those appeals. The court concluded that “[s]ection 1915(g) governs bringing new actions or filing new appeals — the events that trigger an obligation to pay a docket fee — rather than the disposition of existing cases.” See also Thurman v. Gramley, 97 F.3d 185, 188 (7th Cir.1996) (), Lucien v. Jockisch, 133 F.3d 464, 467 (7th ### Response: holding that the dispositive events for purposes of the new fee obligations under 1915b1 are the bringing of a civil action and the filing of an appeal once these milestones have passed fees do not attach to later activities " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: has to do with the operation of an EPA rule that purports to oblige public water systems to install a filtration system if they fail to meet certain regulatory standards by a prescribed deadline — an obligation that extends into the future indefinitely, and that does not account for the present and future safety of the system’s drinking water. Based on our reading of the Act, we find that the district court acted within its discretion by declining to order that the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) install a filtration system. We therefore affirm its judgment. I. Background The facts surrounding this controversy are laid out in extensive detail in the district court’s two written opinions, United States v. Mass. Water Res.

CAMERON, Justice, dissenting: I dissent for two reasons. First, I believe that under the statute involved that the state is a person and must comply with the county claims statute. As the majority cites: Since, in common usage, the term “person” does not include the sovereign, statutes employing the phrase are ordinarily construed to exclude it. But there is no hard and fast rule of exclusion. The purpose, the subject matter, the context, the legislative history, and the executive interpretation of the statute are aids to construction which may indicate an intent, by the use of the term, to bring state or nation within the scope of the law. United States v. Cooper Corp., 312 U.S. 600, 604-05, 61 S.Ct. 742, 743-44, 85 L.Ed. 1071 (1941) ().

United States, 658 F.3d 276 (2d Cir.2011) (affirming jury finding that a series of LILO and other transactions did not withstand the substance-over-form inquiry); Wells Fargo, 641 F.3d 1319 (Fed.Cir.2011) (same as to SILO transaction involving public transit vehicles); BB & T Corp. v. United States, 523 F.3d 461, 464 (4th Cir.2008) (affirming district court’s conclusion that “although the form involved a lease financed by a loan, BB & T did not actually acquire a genuine leasehold interest”); AWG Leasing Trust v.

GE Solid State, supra, 132 N.J. at 308, 625 A.2d at 473. Equally significant was the failure of the Legislature at its very next session (1974-1975) to enact Assembly Bill No. 1817, which, among other Act amendments, would have incorporated verbatim into the CBT property factor the language of its recently-enacted CIT counterpart, i.e., that taxpayer’s property included rented or leased property. That bill was introduced in the Assembly on May 16, 1974, and thereupon referred to the Committee on Taxation. The Committee reported out that bill, with amendments, and went to a second reading on April 21, 1975. The full Assembly never voted on it, however. See Garfield Trust Co., supra, 102 N.J. at 431-32, 508 A.2d at 1110-11 ().

IV. Remaining State Law Claims Defendants have met their burden of establishing that no rational trier of fact could find that the phrase “Box Packaging” warrants trademark protection as either a suggestive mark, or alternatively, as a descriptive mark that acquired a secondary meaning. Defendants also establish that no genuine issue of material facts exist as to the other federal claims brought under the Lanham Act. Plaintiff fails to meet its burden of showing through specific evidence that a triable issues of fact remain. As such, this Court grants summary judgment as to Plaintiffs common law and statutory claims because all are resolved under the same analysis as the federal claims. (Counts VI through IX). See Spex, Inc., 847 F.Supp. at 579 (). CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, this ### Response: holding that cjlaims for unfair competition and deceptive business practices involving trade names brought under illinois statutes are to be resolved according to the principles set forth under the lanham act and noting that illinois courts look to federal case law and apply the same analysis to state infringement claims " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 2021-22, 90 L.Ed.2d 445 (1986) (upholding FTC’s ruling that dentists violated antitrust laws by agreeing to withhold x-rays from insurers); Jefferson Parish Hosp.

Nor can it fairly be said that a health care professional cannot under any circumstances state a cause of action under the Sherman Act against a hospital review committee for denial of staff privileges. Summit Health Ltd. v. Pinhas, 500 U.S. 322, 332, 111 S.Ct. 1842, 1848, 114 L.Ed.2d 366 (1991) (); cf.

The Court will not analyze here whether such a cause of action exists because, even assuming arguendo that it does, Moham-madian’s facts fail to support such a claim. In their rulings on hostile work environment under the ADA, courts have adopted the standard set forth by Harris v. Forklift, 510 U.S. 17, 114 S.Ct. 367, 126 L.Ed.2d 295 (1993), for Title VII claims, requiring plaintiffs to prove that their workplace was “permeated with insult, ridicule, and intimidation”. Occasional insulting comments and behavior, no matter how hurtful, are insufficient to support a claim of hostile work environment. Id. at 21, 114 S.Ct. 367. To successfully establish a prima facie claim of hostile working environment under the ADA, the plaintiff must therefore prove tha (N.D.Okla.1996)().

The question presented to the potential jurors in this case was not directed at discerning whether the potential jurors would believe Wilds in spite of his having agreed to a plea bargain, but whether the jurors would be able to consider his testimony notwithstanding his having agreed to a plea bargain. This question is proper as it is directed at the potential juror’s ability to be fair and impartial. See State v. Conner, 335 N.C. 618, 644, 440 S.E.2d 826, 841 (1994) ().

Wachovia’s duties to Pimental are defined by the terms of the loan contract, which expressly commit the inspection of the property and the decision to disburse funds to the discretion of Wachovia without imposing a duty upon it to protect Pimental’s interests. Since Pimental has failed to allege sustainable breach of contract or negligence claims, and the Chapter 93A claim is based upon the previous two claims, there is no basis for finding Wachovia liable under Chapter 93A.

On a final note, we emphasize that Section 32A-4-25.1(D) imposes a duty upon the district court to make a serious inquiry into whether the Department has complied with its mandate to locate, identify, and consider relatives with whom to place children in its custody.

Here, the first and fourth elements of Plaintiffs claim — existence of a valid contract and breach — require interpretation of the parties’ CBA. Indeed, there is no way to adjudicate breach of contract absent interpretation of the underlying contract. See Baylis v.

On some occasions, however, considerations of judicial economy and restraint may persuade the court to -avoid a difficult question of subject-matter jurisdiction when the case may be disposed of on a simpler ground. Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. v. Peaslee, 88 F.3d 152, 155 (2d Cir. 1996). The court is skeptical that transferring the case to a different federal venue constitutes a ""disposal” under Cantor, since it would not moot the question of jurisdiction. Cf. Sinochem Int’l Co. v.

The Court, relying purely on dictionary definitions, concluded that detent fell into this category of terms and noted the following: It is true that the term “detent” does not call to mind a single well-defined structure, but the same could be said of other commonplace structural terms such as “clamp” or “container.” What is important is not simply that a “detent” or “detent mechanism” is defined in terms of what it does, but that the term, as the name for structure, has a reasonably well understood meaning in the art.

First they successfully argued the position that the Guzmans had no remedy through workers’ compensation because, since Anthony had already left work, his death was not within the course and scope of his employment. Implicit in this position is a denial of negligence on their part in relation to his death. See Espinosa v. Albuquerque Publ’g Co., 1997-NMCA-072, ¶ 13, 123 N.M. 605, 943 P.2d 1058 ().

Indeed, the Vaccine Act itself extends the period of limitations for cases erroneously filed in the district court instead of under the Vaccine Act; this congressional action to relieve a specific foreseeable problem does not establish congressional intent to prohibit relief for every other tardy fifing.

The amendment, therefore, expressly allows separate classification of co-signed obligations, despite the absence of any “theoretical difference” from other claims. At no time does the report indicate any desire to address the second condition for separate classification, that the discrimination not be unfair. This Court realizes that several learned judges view the 1984 amendment to section 1322(b) as creating an exception to the prohibition against unfair discrimination.

Rule 23(b)(3) indicates that the third factor to be considered in assessing whether the class action device is superior to other means of adjudication is “the desirability or undesirability of concentrating the litigation of the claims in the particular forum.” The factor emphasizes the desirability of the forum selected, not the desirability of claims concentration generally.

We consider each contention in turn. A. Appeal from a lower court The District contends that the office of the Engineer is a lower court because it acts as the exclusive trier of fact in water appropriation cases. Indeed, the district court is required to give deference to the Engineer’s decision and only conducts a de novo review of legal conclusions. See State Engineer v. Morris, 107 Nev. 699, 701, 819 P.2d 203, 205 (1991) ().

Causation The district court concluded that Nagle’s speech could not have caused the adverse employment action because Fried had already decided not to recommend her for tenure before he learned of her Virginia speech: “[a]lthough Superintendent Fried cannot recall exactly when he became aware of [Nagle’s protected speech in Virginia], he believes he was, at the time, already leaning toward not recommending [Nagle] for tenure.” Order at 20. This testimony, however, by itself, indicates that a grant of summary judgment against Nagle is reversible error.

Therefore, despite the fact that Anin may not have received actual notice, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion to reopen his deportation proceeding. Additionally, the fact that Anin did not receive actual notice of the deportation hearing does not present a violation of the Due Process Clause. Although procedural due process in the deportation context requires a meaningful and fair hearing with a reasonable opportunity to be heard, see London v.

Here, the EPPs’ claims sound in unfair competition in violation of state consumer protection statutes and state antitrust laws, as well as unjust enrichment. In line with the Federal Circuit, and because the Warner Chilcott Defendants do not suggest Congress intended to preempt these areas of state law, the Court concludes that there is no field preemption of state consumer protection, unjust enrichment, or antitrust laws.

Further, DIRECTV alleges that Thompson “disclosed or endeavored to disclose to others” the intercepted communications and “intentionally used or endeavored to use” the intercepted communic ons in which it held that § 2520 does not create a private right of action for alleged violations of § 2512(l)(b) and dismissed claims identical to those in this action.

Britannia and Air Routing agree that the Theft Act requires the trial court to award Air Routing reasonable and necessary attorney’s fees for defending Britannia’s Theft Act claim. The Theft Act is unusual in Texas law in that it requires the court to award attorney’s fees to a party who successfully defends a Theft Act claim, without any prerequisite that the claim is found to be groundless, frivolous, or brought in bad faith.

The sole question is whether the conviction should be reversed because the prosecution called Ortiz to testify as part of the prosecution’s case-in-chief and not as a rebuttal witness. Ortiz’s testimony was offered to impeach and rebut Kruse’s claim of self-defense. Kruse claims that section 16-8-107(1) bars the admission of Ortiz’s testimony in the prosecution’s case-in-chief, but recognizes that the evidence could properly be admitted as rebuttal testimony. See § 16-8-107(1). The alleged error occurred when Ortiz testified as a prosecution witness and not as a rebuttal witness. In our view, the untimely admission of Ortiz’s testimony did not constitute plain error under the facts in this case. The court o 7 P.2d 759, 761 (1978) (); Berge v.

Although the owner of a vehicle chooses the characters that appear on a vanity plate, the Vermont DMV must approve of a vanity plate before issuing it. The state has a legitimate interest in not communicating the message that it approves of the public display of offensive scatological terms on state license plates.

Because the enforcement standards of the Rehabilitation Act are the same as in the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), case law analyzing disability benefits under the ADA applies with equal force to the Rehabilitation Act. See 29 U.S.C. § 791(g) (stating that the “standards used to determine whether [the Rehabilitation Act] has been violated ... shall be the standards applied under the [ADA]”); Aka v. Wash. Hosp.

Kenyon and his passenger acted exceptionally nervous given the minor nature of the violation.

The actual time spent incarcerated pending trial shall be certified by the circuit clerk on forms to be prescribed by the Board of Corrections.” The facts in this case appear to present a case of first impression in Alabama: whether a minor, transferred to stand trial as an adult, is entitled to credit on prison time for the time spent in the youth detention facility.

Brown, 5 Vet.App. 262, 264-65 (1993); Saylock, supra. The “latest address of record” for the appellant was, at the time of the SOC mailing (and still is), “13230 E. 32 Court[,] Tulsa, OK. 74134”. This address was listed as her address on her NOD, the last correspondence from the appellant to VA immediately prior to the issuance of the SOC. The RO, however, sent the SOC to the appellant at the wrong ZIP Code. The Court concludes that the ZIP Code used by VA in forwarding the SOC to the appellant did not match that in “latest address of record”. Because VA used an address other than the one “of record”, VA failed to comply with § 19.30. See Schafrath v. Derwinski, 1 Vet.App. 589, 592-93 (1991) ().

Further, Howe’s contrary view would virtually moot the inclusion in section 9-28-1 of “any choses in action of the judgment debtor” since in general these were not subject to attachment at common law and, on Howe’s reading, would have been added by the statute as a remedy only to be immediately subtracted by the “except such” proviso. Howe’s approach to section 9-26 — 1(10) was rejected by the Supreme Court, in an analogous context, almost a century ago. Page v. Edmunds, 187 U.S. 596, 23 S.Ct. 200, 47 L.Ed. 318 (1903). Still, one can find more recent decisions looking in both directions.

Hall further recognized that the Sixth Circuit has been inconsistent in its treatment of Greeley claims predicated on § 4123.90 and that the court of appeals has not issued a controlling opinion on the issue. Id. at 961-63. This Court, agreeing with the rationale presented in Hall, similarly concludes that such a claim is cognizable and that the jeopardy requirement is satisfied. See id. at 963. The end result of such a holding obviates the apparent injustice the Court noted above in recognizing the narrow scope of § 4123.90, because an employee who is discharged prior to pursuing a workers’ compensation claim possesses a remedy when that discharge is predicated on absences retroactively covered by workers’ compensation. Cf. Boyd, 133 Ohio App.3d at 161, 727 N.E.2d at 144 ().

See Lagunas II, 309 Fed. Appx. at 266. We affirmed the district court’s order, holding the district court had no authority to sentence Mr. Lagunas below the statutory mandatory minimum. Id. at 267. Shortly thereafter, Congress enacted the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced the mandatory minimum sentencing penalties for crack cocaine by significantly reducing the prior crack/powder ratio but which we held did not apply retroactively to defendants sentenced under the prior sentencing ratio statute. See Pub.L. No. 111-220, 124 Stat. 2372 (Aug. 3, 2010); United States v. Lewis, 625 F.3d 1224, 1228 (10th Cir.2010) (), overruled in part by Dorsey v.

Specifically, the trial court stated: “The Court reserves the issue of child support pending the mother having surgery and being able to return to work. Upon the mother returning to work or after a reasonable period of time once she has regained the ability to work she shall be ordered to pay child support according to the guidelines set forth in Rule 32 [Ala. R. Jud. Admin.]” Because the judgment did not determine all the rights or liabilities of the parties but, instead, reserved the issue of child support pending the occurrence of a specific event, i.e., the mother’s having surgery and being able to return to work, the judgment is not final. See Reid v. Reid, 844 So.2d 1212, 1213-15 (Ala.Civ.App.2002) (); and Tomlinson v.

McColley’s employment was not terminated, even though she was roughly the same age as Schliske. Thus, in every case in which the investigation revealed a violation of the Friends and Family policy which occurred after April 19, 2005, the result was the same. Plaintiff also directs the court to evidence that a more thorough investigation would have revealed other violations of the Friends and Family policy by other associates in the Fort Dodge office. Evidence of a poorly conducted investigation, standing alone, absent evidence that defendants acted in bad faith, failed to follow their ordinary disciplinary procedures or treated other employees differently-proof that is totally absent here-cannot show pretext or defeat a summary judgment motion.

On several occasions, this Court has discussed the causal nexus between an injury and an automobile accident which is required to trigger coverage under § 2118(a)(2)(e). “While a causal connection between use of the vehicle and the injury is required, there is no requirement to show that the injury was proximately caused by the use of the automobile. Rather, the showing must be that the injury occurred by virtue of the inherent nature of using the motor vehicle.” Dickerson v. Continental Casualty Co., Del.Super., C.A. No. 82C-MR-8, Poppiti, J.

We decline to entertain that belated argument. 6 . Although we referenced consumer testing specifically in 1-800 Contacts, the cases we cited make clear that a statement citing a scientific or validating test constitutes a ""tests prove"" or ""establishment” claim. See C.B. Fleet, 131 F.3d at 435 (“When an advertising claim of favorable fact either expressly or impliedly asserts that the fact is testor study-validated, the fact of the validation becomes an integral and critical part of the claim. Such a claim may therefore be proven literally false by showing only that the test asserted to validate it did not in fact do so.”); Rhone-Poulenc, 93 F.3d at 514-15 (); Quaker State, 977 F.2d at 63 (holding that ### Response: holding that where defendant has hyped the claim of superiority by attributing it to the results of scientific testing plaintiff must prove only that the tests relied upon were not sufficiently reliable to permit one to conclude with reasonable certainty that they established the proposition for which they were cited alteration in original internal quotation marks omitted " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: instigate robberies and beatings merely to gather evidence to convict other members of a gang of hoodlums.”). Even accepting the facts as Appellant described them on direct examination, there is no evidence on which a rational member could rely to conclude that Appellant was not the initial aggressor. The next question is whether a rational member could have found that Appellant regained the right to act in self-defense as a result of either Mansur’s escalating the conflict or Appellant’s withdrawing in good faith. Under our ease law, Mansur could not have escalated the level of force in this situation, as Appellant had already introduced deadly force. See United States v. Stanley, 71 M.J. 60, 63 (C.A.A.F.2012); see also Armstrong v. Bertrand, 336 F.3d 620, 623, 625-26 (7th Cir.2003) (); Wayne R.

Isaac, 456 U.S. 107, 128-29, 102 S.Ct. 1558, 1572, 71 L.Ed.2d 783 (1982); this is what O’Bryan failed to do. Accordingly, we hold that the defendant is barred from raising his claim about the absence of a mitigating circumstances instruction in these federal habeas proceedings. See also O’Bryan v. Estelle, 691 F.2d, 706, 710 (5th Cir.1982) (Gee, J., dissenting). We note further that the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Zant v.

The defendants, however, neglect to put this dicta into its proper context — Justice Blackmun added in the next sentence that “the [Speedy Trial] Act nowhere refers to a superseding indictment, and seems to assume that dismissal of the first indictment will precede issuance of the second. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(d)(1) and 3161(h)(6).” 474 U.S. at 237, 106 S.Ct. 555 (emphasis added). The point of Black-mun’s distinction was simply that he believed that these Speedy Trial Act provisions did not apply to the situation the court faced in that case, not that criminal defendants are entitled to a “get out of jail free” card when indictments captioned as “superseding” indictments are issued after dismissals of or 5 (D.Kan.1992) ().

County of Nev., 67 F.3d 248, 255 (9th Cir.1995), Plaintiffs raised serious questions about several issues that the district court should have addressed, including (1) whether there was duplication of work, see Hensley, 461 U.S. at 434 (“Counsel for the prevailing party should make a good-faith effort to exclude from a fee request hours that are excessive, redundant, or otherwise unnecessary ....”); cf. McGrath, 67 F.3d at 255 (“[T]he participation of more than one attorney does not necessarily constitute an unnecessary duplication of effort.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); (2) whether some of the invoices included fees that were not charged to the client, see Hensley, 461 U.S. at 434 (); and (3) whether the use of block-billing and ### Response: holding that fees are not recoverable for work for which the client could not be charged " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to the child is exacerbated by their cireulation""); United States v.

Moreover, ""the recipient may be considered to be invading the privacy of the children depicted, directly victimizing these children."" United States v. Norris, 159 F.3d at 930. Each time Brown viewed and/or disseminated an image of child pornography, he violated each child's ""individual interest in avoiding the disclosure of personal matters."" United States v.

Farmers Coop. Elevator, 272 Kan. 546, 35 P.3d 892, 903-04 (Kan.2001) (same). At the opposite end of the spectrum, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia recognize the personal liability of individual non-employers for wrongful termination even when the individual acted within the course and scope of his or her employment in firing another employee. See, e.g., Jasper v. H. Nizam, Inc., 764 N.W.2d 751, 777 (Iowa 2009) (); Ballinger v. Del.

Salas is overruled in light of our holding in this case. 2 . If the district court states that the controverted matters will not be considered in imposing sentence, the sentencing record must unambiguously reflect that the district court placed no reliance on the controverted matters. If the record is ambiguous in this regard, the sentence must be vacated and remanded for resentenc-ing. We thus expressly approve of our opinion in Baron, 860 F.2d at 920. 3 .

We conclude that the district court and Chugach are correct. While we agree with Coffman that a determination of successor liability under USERRA requires an analysis under the Leib factors as stated by Congress, such an analysis is unnecessary and improper when no merger or transfer of assets even transpired between the two subject companies. Generally, one of the fundamental requirements for consideration of the imposition of successor liability is a merger or transfer of assets between the predecessor and successor companies.

As we have already concluded, the parties stipulated to the trial court’s answers to the jury’s questions, but by erroneously inserting Perry’s first name into question three, the trial court gave the jury a version of the questions and answers that Perry had not stipulated to. Neither the parties nor the trial court recognized the error, and the jury returned a guilty verdict one hour later. The jury was never informed of the mistake and the trial court did not question the jury to make sure that it had understood that the third question should have referred to Michael, not Tony. We emphasize that a trial court’s typographical error does not necessarily mandate reversal. See, e.g., Broadus v. State, 487 N.E.2d 1298, 1306 (Ind.1986) (); Elmore v.

As discussed above, the Court will construe plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint to state a claim directly under § 1415(i)(2)(A) to enforce the IDEA. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to provide plaintiffs with a FAPE, failed to comply with their Child Find duties, and failed to ensure a smooth and effective transition from Part C to Part B, in violation of §§ 1412(a)(1)(A), 1412(a)(3)(A), and 1412(a)(9). (Pis.’ Reply at 3.) Plaintiffs have the burden of proving a violation of the IDEA. See Schaffer v. Weast, 546 U.S. 49, 51, 126 S.Ct. 528, 163 L.Ed.2d 387 (2005) (). a.

Unisys Corp., 54 F.3d 624, 630 n. 6 (10th Cir.1995). The evidence overwhelmingly supports the defendant’s proffered reasons for the plaintiffs termination, and the plaintiffs meager evidence is insufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact as to pretext.

BACKGROUND This litigation arose from defendants attempt to enforce the Kansas Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax Act, Kansas Statutes Annotated §§ 79-3401 et seq. (“Act”), upon plaintiffs. The Act imposes a tax, subject to various exceptions, on the use or the sale and delivery of motor vehicle fuel within the state. Pursuant to Kansas Statutes Annotated § 79-3408(c) of the Act, the legal incidence of the fuel tax falls on the “distributor of first receipt” of such fuel. See Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri v.

Accordingly, the Court determines that this segmentation argument fails as a matter of fact and law. Plaintiffs’ second improper segmentation argument, however, is persuasive. Plaintiffs argue that the Parallex Project involves a joint United States-Russian-Canadian experiment, in which plutonium will be shipped from Russia and the United States to Canada. While the EA considered' the American shipment of MOX to Canada, and the experiment itself, it failed to analyze the potential environmental effects of the Russian shipment.

Although the prosecutor’s statement that the jury needed to find only that the victim suffered mental or physical pain, in isolation, could suggest that a murder can be especially cruel even if the victim is rendered unconscious quickly, the statement’s context clarifies that the prosecutor was referring only to the lack of a particular temporal requirement. Indeed, after making this statement, the prosecutor accurately read the court’s instruction defining cruelty. Taking his statement in context, the prosecutor communicated the correct standard: there is no bright-line rule about the length of time required to establish a victim’s suffering. See id.; cf. State v. Cropper (Cropper II), 223 Ariz. 522, 526 ¶ 12, 527 ¶ 14, 225 P.3d 579, 583-84 (2010) ().

This court is not confronted with a claim for statutory penalties involving a pro rata portion of an unvested bonus, a profit sharing plan, or a gratuitous bonus subject solely to the employer’s discretion. When an employee contracts for a bonus in exchange for his services to the. employer, and the right to that bonus vests prior to the employee’s termination, an employer’s failure to pay that unpaid bonus within 24 hours of the employee’s demand subjects the employer to a claim for statutory penalties under MinmStat. § 181.13.

Ferguson, 202 Wis. 2d 233, 549 N.W.2d 718 (1996) (Ferguson II), the supreme court reversed on a ground not addressed in State v. Ferguson, 195 Wis. 2d 174, 536 N.W.2d 116 (Ct. App. 1995) (Ferguson I), when it concluded that § 973.06(l)(c), STATS., did not authorize assessment of laboratory expenses against the defendant because such expenses were not ""fees or disbursements."" Although the supreme court did not reach the issue of whether the expense related to the services of an expert witness, it did not specifically reverse our holding on that issue in Ferguson I, 195 Wis. 2d at 180, 536 N.W.2d at 118. Therefore, that holding retains precedential value. See Sweeney v. General Cas. Co., 220 Wis. 2d 183, 192, 582 N.W.2d 735, 738 (Ct.

The State responds that the two counts relate to two separate crimes and the merger argument must, accordingly, fail. We agree with the State. Although both the first and second counts charged Dittmer with crimes that included the date of December 20, 1999, the assistant county attorney explained that the conspiracy to manufacture charge stemmed from a different act with different people at a different time than did the manufacturing charge. Dittmer did not contest this explanation and the district court accepted it, stating “they are two separate and distinct offenses.” Under these circumstances, we conclude the merger argument is inapplicable. See State v. Walker, 610 N.W.2d 524, 526-27 (Iowa 2000). Cf. State v. Maghee, 573 N.W.2d 1, 7 (Iowa 1997) (). III.

Public officials are generally granted qualified immunity from lawsuits based on reasonable discretionary acts taken in carrying out their official duties. Because of the need to protect constitutional rights while also avoiding a chilling effect on the conduct of these officers, qualified immunity balances “[t]he public interest in deterrence of unlawful conduct and in compensation of victims,” Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 819, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982), with the public interest in having officials act “with independence and without fear of consequences,” id. (quoting Pierson v.

Following this broader interpretation of § 503(b), the Ninth Circuit found that “the use of a form of the word ‘include’ is significant, and generally thought to imply that terms listed immediately afterwards are an inexhaustive list of examples, rather than a bounded set of applicable items.” In re Mark Anthony Constr., Inc., 886 F.2d 1101, 1106 (9th Cir.1989) (citations omitted). The opinion in Reading not only survived the later enactment of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, but has been expanded by lower courts. See Matter of Copeland, 991 F.2d at 239 (citing to Yorke v.

See Miller, 634 F.3d at 844. Revocation sentences are governed by 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e), which outlines the specific factors of § 3553(a) that a district court must consider. See Miller, 634 F.3d at 844. Because § 3583(e) does not reference § 3553(a)(2)(A), we recently held that “it is improper for the district court to rely on § 3553(a)(2)(A) for the modification or revocation of a supervised release term.” Id. We reject LeBoeufs argument that the district court committed reversible error in imposing his revocation sentence. First, it is not clear that the district court even considered § 3553(a)(2)(A). Nowhere did the district court specifically reference that subsection or “just punishment.” Although the court mentioned “punishmen 5th Cir.2011) (unpublished) ().

Id. Despite these policies and rules, when Sierra had been employed by AMI for only eight days, he was sent alone to supervise three youths on a work project, two of whom had recently been classified as escape risks. Sierra had not undergone the required training. He was not told of the risk status of the youths he was supervising. No one was assigned to accompany him. This court held that these facts were sufficient to establish the level of indifference to employee safety necessary to support an action against AMI. Other cases that have allowed actions to go forward against employers have involved a similar level of indifference to employee safety. See, e.g., EAC USA Inc. v. Kawa, 805 So.2d 1 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001) (); Connelly v.

Section 5602 of the statute, inter alia, enumerates various powers a principal may confer on an agent, “by inclusion of the language quoted in any of the following paragraphs or by inclusion of other language showing a similar intent on the part of the. principal.” 20 Pa.C.S.A. § 5602. “The Powers of Attorney statute does not confine the way powers given in a power of attorney may be defined.... [Gjeneral language may be used to show the ‘similar intent on the part of the principal,’ if such general language, according to its common usage, encompasses such power or powers.” In re Weidner, 595 Pa. 263, 273, 938 A.2d 354, 360 (2007) ().

This explanation is sufficient for purposes of § 3553(c)(1). We reject Mr. Ghertler’s arguments to the contrary. First, Mr. Ghertler is wrong that we should not consider the district court’s statements described above because they were made after the sentence was imposed and did not relate to the sentence selected. The record shows that, although the district court’s com ments followed the imposition of the sentence, those comments were clearly part of the court’s closing remarks regarding the propriety of the sentence. We have taken a holistic approach in evaluating the district court’s explanation of the sentence imposed. Our review is not limited to the district court’s closing remarks. See Parrado, 911 F.2d at 1573 (); see also id.

Although theft itself is not a commercial activity, § 668 as a whole is directed toward interstate commerce by reducing traffic in objects of cultural heritage stolen from museums whose activities affect interstate commerce. U.S. v. Windley, 1997 WL 431129 at *2 (S.D.N.Y.1997). Congress rationally could conclude that criminalizing the theft of objects of cultural heritage from museums will reduce interstate trafficking in stolen art and thus is “an essential part of a larger regulation of economic activity, in which the regulatory scheme could be undercut unless the intrastate activity were regulated.” Id. (quoting Lopez, 115 S.Ct. at 1631). See also U.S. v. Franklyn, 1998 WL 603237 (2d Cir.1998) ().

Although we are concerned that the juvenile court did not have jurisdiction because either the Louisiana court or the Montgomery Circuit Court retained jurisdiction of custody matters in this case, we decline to further address that concern because we dismiss this appeal on the basis that the juvenile court lacked jurisdiction on other grounds. Juvenile courts are purely creatures of statute that have extremely limited jurisdiction. See Ex parte K.L.P., 868 So.2d 454 (Ala.Civ.App.2003). At the time the father’s petition was filed, the operative statute, former § 12-15-30(a), Ala. Code 1975, provided that “[t]he juvenile court shall exercise exclusive original jurisdiction of 08) ().

Civ. PRAC. & Rem.Code Ann. § 37.009 (Vernon 1997). That did not mean the trial court was restricted to simply awarding them fees. On the contrary, the blanket of authority arising from the demand for declaratory relief and granted under § 37.009 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code encompassed the discretion to award fees to any party, including the Deavers.

Here the calm and deliberate nature of the defendants’ actions against the victims establish this element beyond any reasonable doubt. In this instance, the victims were bound and gagged for two hours and, thus, were unable to offer any resistance or provocation. More importantly, during this time the defendants had ample opportunity to calmly reflect upon their actions, following which they mutually decided to shoot the victims execution-style in the backs of the their heads.

LAW AND ANALYSIS We first address Metellus’s claim that there was a double jeopardy violation. The Fifth District held that no double jeopardy violation occurred. We agree. The double jeopardy clause does not protect a defendant from reprosecution or resentencing if the defendant willfully re fuses to perform a condition of a plea bargain. See, e.g., Melvin v.

According to Lomeli, this presumption precludes summary judgment, regardless of the balance of the remaining borrowed employee factors. Even if Southwest failed to produce the relevant contract governing Lomeli’s employment and, thus, a spoliation presumption was warranted, this presumption does not automatically preclude summary judgment. The Fifth Circuit has repeatedly found borrowed employee status to exist as a matter of law even when the contract between the employers provides that the worker is to be classified as an independent contractor or that the worker is not considered an employee of the borrowing entity.

Thus, whether or not this action is time-barred should have been determined on the basis of the applicable statute of limitations.

Indeed our review of the history of maritime liens demonstrates they were designed to encourage repairs on ships in great need. See supra Section III.A. The BETTY LYN II need merely be capable of transportation on water to be a vessel. The law does not require that she be able to self-propel.

Whirlpool Corp., 891 F.2d 203, 204 (8th Cir.1989) (same). In fact, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has specifically held that a sentencing court has jurisdiction to issue a post-judgment, post-appeal supplemental order detailing its rationale for a sentencing departure because such an order facilitates, rather than interferes with, the review of the appeal. See United States v. Vernier, 152 Fed.Appx. 827, 835-836 (11th Cir.2005). 2 . Skilling v. United States, 561 U.S. 358, 130 S.Ct. 2896, 177 L.Ed.2d 619 (2010) (); United States v.

Since Mr. Smith failed to develop the factual basis for his ineffective assistance of appellate counsel claim, an evidentiary hearing will not be held unless both elements of Section 2254(e)(2) are met. Mr. Smith claims that he was unfit to stand trial.and that appellate counsel should have presented that claim on his direct appeal. It is well-established that a defendant’s due process is violated if the prosecution tries him when he is not competent to stand trial. Medina v. California, 505 U.S. 437, 439, 112 S.Ct. 2572, 120 L.Ed.2d 353 (1992). Finding, however, that Mr. Smith was unfit to stand trial does not show that he was innocent of the underlying offense as required by Section 2254(e)(2)(9). See Pitsonbarger v. Gramley, 103 F.3d 1293, 1299 (7th Cir.1996) (), judgment vacated,—U.S.-, 118 S.Ct. 37, 139 ### Response: holding that petitioner was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing under section 2254e2 on whether his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to seek a fitness hearing " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the area where the encounter occurred as “known for drug trafficking.” This conclusion is likewise unsupported by the proof adduced at the suppression hearing. Nevertheless, the dissent concluded: “the encounter occurred late at night in an area known for drug trafficking. Only moments earlier, Detective Lockwood ... had witnessed a number of hand-to-hand drug transactions.... It is my opinion that when the defendant ran, the Detective had reasonable suspicion to pursue and further investigate.” Because the determination of the constitutionality of a seizure is so fact-intensive, we cannot overstate the importance of an accurate assessment of the proof as drawn from the actual evidence adduced at the trial court level. The proof in this case simply does not support a fin rim.App.1996) (). And, as previously indicated, an individual’s ### Response: holding that ones presence in a high crime area late at night without more will not justify an investigatory stop " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: under Title VII, states, in relevant part, “Each United States district court ... shall have jurisdiction of actions brought under this subchapter.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(3). The issue before this Court is whether Ballard’s claims solely for attorney’s fees and costs are “actions brought under this subchapter,” or, posed differently, whether Ballard can recover costs arising out of administrative and state proceedings. The Second Circuit has not specifically addressed this question. In fact, it explicitly declined to do so. See Nestor, 466 F.3d at 70, n. 4 (2d Cir.2006) (“We need not and do not decide whether a fees only suit may be brought under Title VII.”) (emphasis added). This question has split other Circuit Courts. Compare Jones v. Am. State Bank, 857 F.2d 494 (8th Cir.1988) (), Patzer v. Bd. of Regents, 763 F.2d 851, 858 ### Response: holding that title vii plaintiff may bring suit to recover attorneys fees after successfully litigating before a state administrative body " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: extrinsic corroborating evidence of the victim’s acts of violence is admissible to show defendant’s . state of mind, we now hold the lesser-that a defendant claiming self defense may show his own state of mind by testifying that he knew of the victim’s prior acts of violence. Therefore, the district court erred when it held that Saenz could not, as a matter of law, show his state of mind at the time of his attack by testifying that he knew about the victim’s past acts. Moreover, the error was not harmless. By excluding the evidence, the district court prevented Saenz from supporting his claim of self-defense. Error cannot be harmless where it prevents the defendant from providing an evidentiary basis for his defense. Cf. United States v. Thomas, 134 F.3d 975, 980 (9th Cir.1998) (). Accordingly, Saenz’s conviction is reversed. ### Response: holding that erroneous exclusion of evidence regarding defendants lack of criminal record was not harmless in prosecution for drug offenses in which defendant asserted entrapment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: existed here. Plaintiffs also argue that the Pennsylvania minority tolling principle applies to toll the two-year statute of limitations on Plaintiffs Section 504 claims. (See Pis.’ Mot. for J. of Admin. R. 16-18.) Plaintiffs’ argument for minority tolling could only apply to P.P.’s claims on his own behalf—not to the Parents’ claims on his behalf. Pennsylvania’s minority tolling statute provides, If an individual entitled to bring a civil action is an unemancipated minor at the time the cause of action accrues, the period of minority shall not be deemed a portion of the time period within which the action must be commenced. Such person shall have the same time for commencing an action after attaining majority as is allowed to others sburgh, 563 Pa. 439, 761 A.2d 1159 (2000) ().

Her claim is without-merit. We addressed and rejected the same claim in Carter I, where Mrs. Carter argued “that her right to due process was violated because there was no procedure available to her to litigate her right to Schoemehl benefits.” 606 S.W.3d at 373. Carter I held: If [Mrs.] Carter’s dependency at the time of [Mr, Carter’s], iryuiy had been established as a matter of law in thp final award, it would have preserved the issue of her contingent right to Schoe-mehl benefits for future determination by the Commission. See, e.g., State ex rel. ISP Minerals, Inc. v. Labor & Indus. Relations Comm’n, 465 S.W.3d 471, 476 (Mo. banc 2015) ().

Mellette Cnty., 508 N.W.2d 6, 7 (S.D.1993), this court’s scope of review of a trial court’s decision in a trial de novo is whether the decision of the trial court was clearly erroneous. See Yadco, Inc. v. Yankton Cnty., 89 S.D. 651, 237 N.W.2d 665, 669-70 (1975) (). Therefore, the issue presented on appeal is ### Response: holding that the supreme courts proper scope of review of a trial courts decision in a trial de novo of an assessment matter is whether the decision of the trial court was clearly erroneous " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: weapon was a deadly weapon per se or a firearm. Polk v. State, 693 S.W.2d 391, 394 (Tex.Crim.App.1985). Crumpton has now added to this list by allowing the trial court to find the jury made an affirmative deadly weapon finding by finding the defendant guilty of homicide. See Crumpton, 301 S.W.3d at 664. Here, as in Crumpton, the jury found McCallum guilty of criminally negligent homicide. Under Crumpton, therefore, the jury necessarily made an affirmative finding that McCallum used a deadly weapon — namely, “the hand of the defendant ... [which] caus[ed] Pribyl to fall and strike his head on the ground.” The law is well-settled that both a hand and the ground can be deadly weapons — that is, objects capable of causing death. See Lane v. State, 151 S.W.3d 188, 192 (Tex.Crim.App.2004) (); Johnston v. State, 150 S.W.3d 630, 639 ### Response: holding hand can be deadly weapon " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of laches in these circumstances and the appropriate remedy that flows therefrom. III. A. Because foreclosure proceedings seek primary or principal relief which is equitable in nature, a complaint in foreclosure is properly cognizable in the General Equity part of the Chancery Division. See R. 4:3 — 1(a)(1); Weinstein, New Jersey Practice § 28.5 (2000) (“A foreclosure action seeking a sale of the mortgaged premises ... should ordinarily be brought in the Chancery Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey”). And, it has long been the law of New Jersey that an application to open, vacate or otherwise set aside a foreclosure judgment or proceedings subsequent thereto is subject to an abuse of discretion standard.

Because the causation language is missing in the policies here, however, these decisions are not directly applicable. Second, the policy definition in this case does not include the terms “unfair competition” or “piracy” which are the somewhat open-ended terms on which expansive claims of coverage have traditionally been laid. See, e.g. National Union Fire Ins. Co. v. Siliconix, Inc., 729 F.Supp. 77, 79 (N.D.Cal.1989) (finding that the term “piracy” could incorporate patent infringement). Two recent California Supreme Court decisions plainly set forth the analysis which this court must use in deciding the motion: Bank of the West, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 538, 833 P.2d 545 (), and AIU Insurance Co. v.

The present case, while factually somewhat similar, is clearly distinguishable from Ex parte Hood. In Ex parte Hood, the defendant failed to give notice of its intention to enforce the arbitration agreement until three months after the case had been removed to the federal court and two months after the parties’ counsel had met to discuss how the federal litigation would proceed. This Court stated: “We might assume that if [the defendant] Golden had immediately followed its removal with service of its answer pleading an arbitration defense, such action would have been sufficient to put Hood on notice that Golden still intended in the federal court to reserve its right to seek arbitration. Cf. Terminix Int’l Co. v. Jackson, 669 So.2d 893, 896 (Ala.1995) ().

See Herrera, 506 U.S. at 417, 113 S.Ct. 853 (acknowledging that the traditional remedy for claims of actual innocence based on late findings of newly-discovered evidence has been executive clemency); Royal v. Taylor, 188 F.3d 239, 243 (4th Cir.1999) (“[WJhen available, state clemency proceedings provide the proper forum to pursue claims of actual innocence based on new facts.”) The argument that clemency is the proper course to pursue using newly-discovered evidence still supports Cherrix’s claims for DNA testing. Section 848(q) of Title 21 of the United States Code encompasses claims for a habeas petitioner’s compensation of fees incurred during Virginia state clemency proceedings. See Strickler v.

The defendants contend that the trial court’s dismissal order should be upheld on this basis. We agree that the plaintiffs failed to allege this necessary premises-defect element. Moreover, we disagree with the court of appeals’ conclusion that we can infer this element from the pleadings. Nevertheless, the court of appeals did not err in reversing the trial court’s judgment and remanding, because the plain tiffs’ pleadings do not affirmatively demonstrate an incurable jurisdictional defect, but merely a pleading deficiency. Because the trial court did not rule on the defendants’ special exceptions and allow the plaintiffs an opportunity to amend their pleadings, omitting this element cannot support the trial court’s judgment. See Herring, 513 S.W.2d at 9-10 (); see also 7 William V.

After this threat was made, appellant spoke to his mother; appellant then agreed to sign the written consent to search. The officers’ threats to remove appellant’s family from the residence are what lead appellant ultimately to consent to a search of his residence. Such antagonistic action by the police against a suspect’s family is a factor which significantly undermines the voluntariness of any subsequent consent given by the suspect. See United States v.

If anything, the cited regulation indicates an administrative desire to utilize, rather than preempt, state regulation of sureties. The operation of the Miller Act and various authorities support the conclusion that the Miller Act does not totally occupy the field. For example, a Miller Act suit on the surety bond is not a subcontractor’s exclusive remedy. See, United States For and on Behalf of Sunworks, etc. v.

While not dispositive, Florida case law supports the Court’s interpretation that § 324.021(9)(b)(2) is simply a cap on strict vicarious liability damages and nothing more. See, e.g., Lewis v.

Were East correct, any system within an agency that determines who should proceed against whom would be an APA matter of intrusion, domination, or substantive regulation. We would foresee aeons of rulemaking proceedings when all the agency seeks to do is operate in a rational manner. Cf. Donovan v. Union Packing Co. of Omaha, 714 F.2d 838, 840 (8th Cir. 1983) ().

Hornbecker and the government agree that Rugen detained Hornbecker between 8:02 p.m. and 8:11 p.m., and that the lawfulness of the detention is appropriately analyzed under the Terry line of cases. Hornbecker and the government also concur that, because most of the period between Rugen’s request for the Volkswagen’s papers and his completion of the written warning was attributable to Horn-becker’s initial inability to locate the papers, whether Rugen lawfully detained Hornbecker during this period essentially depends on whether Rugen’s request to inspect the papers was objectively reasonable under the circumstances.

As to the merits, the parties agree that Colorado law applies. They also agree that Colorado law recognizes the general rule that a creditor can reach a debtor’s assets placed in trust to the same extent that the debtor is entitled to reach such assets.

The University, which the plaintiffs concede is a state entity, moved to' dismiss the Equal Pay Act claim, as well as the claim for compensatory relief under Title VII, arguing that the Eleventh Amendment bars federal jurisdiction over these claims.

(3 Hayw.) 130, 132 (1816). The principle is subject to certain limitations, one of which is that it will not be applied if the initial forum did not have the power to award the full measure of relief sought in the later litigation. See Davidson v. Capuano, 792 F.2d 275, 279 (2d Cir.1986); Carris v. John R. Thomas & Assocs., P.C., 896 P.2d 522, 529-30 (Okla.1995); see also Rose v.

Finally, Defendant argues that her BAC results should have been excluded because the test was not performed within three hours of arrest, as required by 7.33.2.15(A)(2) NMAC. We note that this regulation has been superseded by statute. Section 66-8-110(E) (“If the test performed pursuant to the Implied Consent Act is administered more than three hours after the person was driving a vehicle, the test result may be introduced as evidence of the alcohol concentration in the person’s blood or breath at the time of the test and the trier of fact shall determine what weight to give the test result.”). Any time lapse impacts the weight of the evidence, not admissibility. See State v. Bowden, 2010-NMCA-070, ¶¶ 8-12, 148 N.M. 850, 242 P.3d 417 (). II. Validity of the Search Warrant Next, ### Response: holding that where a statute and regulation conflict the statute generally prevails and also explaining that section 668110e permits test results taken more than three hours after the person was driving to be admitted into evidence and gives the fact finder the discretion to give appropriate weight to the results " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: confronting witnesses or evidence against him.” United States v.

The defendants’ constitutional claim here is therefore properly brought under the Fifth Amendment, not the Sixth Amendment, because the challenged events occurred before any witnesses or evidence were brought against the defendants. Under the Fifth Amendment, a defendant “has a [constitutional] right to be present at all stages of the trial where his absence might frustrate the fairness of the proceedings.” Fare th Cir.1996) (recognizing the Rule 43 right to presence for all portions of the voir dire), cert. denied, 520 U.S. 1253, 117 S.Ct. 2414, 138 L.Ed.2d 179 (1997); United States v.

Additionally, in Taylor v. Cox, the Alabama Supreme Court noted that § 17-10-4, Ala.Code 1975, makes no exception or accommodation for a person physically incapable of making his or her own signature, and suggested that the Legislature reconsider the wording of the statute. Although the record indicates that Evans informed Rosia and Sharon that Sharon could sign Rosia’s name, testimony did not indicate that Evans acted willfully. “A ‘willful’ act may be described as one ‘done intentionally, knowingly, and purposely, without justifiable excuse, as distinguished from an act done carelessly, thoughtlessly, heedlessly or inadvertently.’ ” Padgett v.

Permissive consecutive sentencing, however, is available only under the limited circumstances listed in Minn. Sent. Guidelines II.F. The state’s argument fails to consider the plain language of the sentencing guidelines, which states: “The use of consecutive sentences in any other case constitutes a departure from the guidelines!)]” Thus, the imposition of consecutive sentences for reasons other than those set forth in Minn. Sent. Guidelines II.F. constitutes a departure from the sentencing guidelines and requires the existence of substantial and compelling reasons identified on the record by the district court, notwithstanding the parties’ plea agreement for consecutive sentencing.

Misquadace, 644 N.W.2d 65, 71 (2002) (); see also Minn.Stat. § 244.09, subd. 5(2) ### Response: holding that negotiated plea agreements that include a sentencing departure are justified under the guidelines in cases where substantial and compelling circumstances exist but a plea agreement standing alone does not create such circumstances in its own right " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to him because his relationship with the plaintiff was a tenancy at sufferance. Id. at 574. We disagreed, holding that when the tenancy at sufferance follows “the termination of a conventional leasehold relationship,” RSA chapter 540-A applies. Id. at 575, 576. We explained that when the legislature enacted RSA chapter 540-A, it intended to “remove[ ] the landlord’s common law right to self-help in evicting a residential tenant whose tenancy at sufferance was preceded by a different leasehold tenancy.” Id. at 575. We observed that RSA 540-A:2 generally prohibits a residential landlord from attempting to “circumvent lawful procedures for eviction pursuant to RSA 540,” and that RSA chapter 540 applies to tenancies at sufferance.

Etowah County Corrin, 460 So.2d 1361, 1363 (Ala.Civ.App.1984) (recognizing that only the sheriff, not the county commission, was authorized to promulgate work rules or grant leaves of absence for deputy sheriffs); Terry v. Cook, 866 F.2d 373, 379 (11th Cir.1989) (“We can find no authority in Alabama law granting the county commission the authority to hire and fire deputy sheriffs.... ”). As a result, a deputy sheriff is not generally subject to a merit system covering county employees, see Whitten, supra (); see also Hooks v.

The government argues that the search was justified by the officers’ objectively reasonable belief that Mr. Miles was both living in and present in the apartment at the time of the search. Aplee Br. at 6-12; see also Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573, 603, 100 S.Ct. 1371, 63 L.Ed.2d 639 (1980) (“[A]n arrest warrant founded on probable case implicitly carries with it the limited authority to enter a dwelling in which the suspect lives when there is reason to believe the suspect is within.”); Valdez v.

This statutory provision, as well as Miss.Code Ann. § 83-3-107, discussed infra, were repealed, revised and recodified in 1987. See Miss.Code Ann. § 83-2-1, et seq. Since these prior provisions were effective at the time the insurance policy at bar was issued, they control this court’s determination rather than the statutes currently in force. 4 . It is also interesting to note that Judge Wingate relied in part upon the decision of International Ins. Co. v. Love, No. Civ-86-64-A (W.D.Okla. Feb. 23, 1987). McMullan, 1990 WL 483731 at *16. The value of that decision was effectively voided by a later Tenth Circuit decision. F.D.I.C. v. American Cas. Co. of Reading, Pa., 975 F.2d 677, 682, 683 (10th Cir.1992) (); see also Gary v.

The FCC further explained that a seller may face vicarious liability “under a broad range of agency principles, including not only formal agency, but also principles of apparent authority and ratification.” Id. at 6584 ¶ 28. The Courts have diverged on the appropriate deference that should be accorded Dish Network and prior FCC rulings in this area under Chevron USA Inc. v. NRDC, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984). Compare Gomez, 768 F.3d at 878 (“Because Congress has not spoken directly to this issue and because the FCC’s interpretation [of the TCPA in Dish Network ] was included in a fully adjudicated declaratory ruling, the interpretation must be afforded Chevron deference.”) with Mais, 944 F.Supp.2d at 1243 () and Toney v.

The court denied defendant’s motion to dismiss under Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6), holding that plaintiff had stated a claim under § 1692a(6) by alleging that “TCI is merely renting or borrowing CPA’s name and letterhead to assist in its own debt collection activities.” Id. at *4. The court finds that plaintiff sufficiently alleges that defendant is operating as the debt collector when GCS mails the initial letter. The letter states that the debtor’s file “will be referred” for collection, indicating that it has not yet been referred to any collection agency. See, e.g., Maguire v. Citicorp Retail Services, Inc., 147 F.3d 232, 237 (2d Cir.1998) (). Moreover, the evidence reveals that GCS never ### Response: holding that the use of the phrase will be reported in a letter supports an inference that since the account may be reported to a collection agency the ostensible debt collector debtor assistance is not such an agency though the court noted that the unsophisticated consumer might just as easily draw the opposite inference " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: must be presumed to have concluded that the public interest was thereby being served. Public records by their very nature are of interest to those concerned with the administration of government, and a public benefit is performed by the reporting of the true contents of the records by the media. The freedom of the press to publish that information appears to us to be of critical importance to our type of government in which the citizenry is the final judge of the conduct of public business. Id. at 495, 95 S.Ct. at 1046. Thus, once certain information is in the public domain, as it is here, the entitlement to privacy is lost. This is the case even when the information in question is part of a federal income tax return. Cooper v. Internal Revenue Service, 450 F.Supp. 752 (D.D.C.1977) (). Not only is there no right of privacy for ### Response: holding that tax returns and tax return information cannot regain their confidential status once the returns have become part of the public record by their use in a public trial " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Miller, as excessive. We agree and reverse. Based on the testimony as presented at the wife’s temporary relief hearing, the court found that the husband has a net monthly income of $11,666. It ordered him to pay $2,580 per month in basic support to the wife and, on top of that amount, also required that he pay her monthly expenses totalling approximately $9,000. It further ordered that he pay her $30,000 as temporary attorney’s fees and $10,000 as temporary costs. The basic temporary support and expense awards together constitute nearly all of the husband’s net monthly income. As such, we find that the present award places an undue burden on the husband based on the record evidence and findings as to his ability to pay. See Benenfeld v. Benenfeld, 705 So.2d 1072 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998)(); Chereskin v.

Even if these facts were rele vant, this court, as a general rule, “will not enlarge the record on appeal with evidence not before the district court.” McIntosh v. Partridge, 540 F.3d 315, 327 (5th Cir.2008). Even liberally construed, Legrand’s brief does not adequately set forth an argument on appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 28; Stevens, 535 Fed.Appx. at 359; see also Jacobson v. Clay, 72 Fed.Appx. 999 (5th Cir.2003) (finding inadequate appellants’ briefs that “do not cite authority and consist of con-clusory assertions”). Although Legrand attempts to articulate claims of error in her reply brief, this court does not normally entertain arguments raised for the first time in a reply brief. See, e.g., In re Katrina Canal Breaches Litig., 620 F.3d 455, 459 n. 3 (5th Cir.2010) (); United States v.

The plaintiff argues that to construe RSA 508:14,1, as the defendants suggest would be in derogation of the common law. As set forth above, statutes in derogation of the common law are to be interpreted strictly. Sweeney, 151 N.H. at 241. Other jurisdictions that have interpreted similar statutory provisions have construed the phrase “any person” as referring to “any person as a member of the general public.” Conant, 51 P.3d at 1267; see also Snyder, 634 N.E.2d at 761 (“We believe that the purpose of the Recreational Use Act would not be advanced by applying the Act to a situation where an owner does not open his property to the public, but simply invites a few private persons to a picnic.”); Perrine, 911 P.2d at 1293 (same); LePoidevin by Dye, 330 N.W.2d at 563 ().

Id. at 481. 59 . Looking to the future, and commanded by Congress to make policy, a rule-making agency necessarily deals less with “evidentiary” disputes than with normative conflicts, projections from imperfect data, experiments and simulations, educated predictions, differing assessments of possible risks, and the like. The process is quasi -legislative in character. Amoco Oil Co. v. EPA, 501 F.2d 722, 735 (D.C.Cir.1974). Accord, Ethyl Corp. v. EPA, 541 F.2d 1 (D.C.Cir.)

N.E. Power Co., 133 N.H. 753, 756, 584 A.2d 179, 181 (1990). We base our judgment on this question of law on the trial court’s findings of fact. See Robbins v. Lake Ossipee Village, Inc., 118 N.H. 534, 536, 389 A.2d 940, 941 (1978). Clear and unambiguous terms of a deed control how we construe the parties’ intent, see Lussier, 133 N.H. at 756, 584 A.2d at 181, but the law may imply supplemental rights. See Sakansky v. Wein, 86 N.H. 337, 339, 169 A. 1, 2-3 (1933). The overriding principle defining the parties’ proper exercise of their rights is the rule of reason, which gives “detailed definition to rights created by general words either actually used” in the deed “or, whose existence is implied by law.” Id. at 339, 169 A. at 2; cf.

The Sangis also contend that the district court should have granted the motion to reconsider based on newly discovered evidence. Rule 60(b)(2) permits relief for evidence “which by due diligence could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b)”). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Rule 60(b)(2) relief because the record indicates that the Sangis did not pursue discovery with due diligence. See New Hampshire Ins. Co. v.

It is not seriously disputed, and there is no finding to the contrary, that the whole purpose of the stipulation was to effect an assumption of the Fort Ord contract, as revised to permit the government’s withholding.

Thus, if an employee fails to file either a notice of injury or a claim for compensation, the employee is, at least presumptively, barred from receiving benefits. We agree.

UJI 13-1003. We find nothing in Bernstein’s deposition to indicate that he knew the statements to be untrue. To the contrary, Bernstein stated that the tension between the parties affected his relationship with both parties and he was inclined to take “steps backward” from both of them. He also described Defendant as an “elder statesman of anthropology and respected for the work he did amongst Huichol people.” Given this context, there is a factual dispute for the jury to resolve as to whether Bernstein knew the statements to be untrue. These statements should have gone to a jury. {28} As to the statement made to O’Donnell, it is too vague to be evaluated or found defamatory. Therefore, it is non-actionable. See Leyba v.

This letter, along with a second letter, required her to appear at an informal meeting to discuss the removal proceedings. She attended the meeting and was given a full opportunity to respond to each of the allegations. Even drawing all inferences in Marrero’s favor, the process provided her in this pre-termination hearing comported with due process guarantees by providing her notice and an opportunity to be heard. As a result, the pre-termination hearing provided constitutionally adequate process without necessitating a post-termination hearing. See Feliciano-Angulo v.

Appellant alleges that the hearing officers were aware that he pled guilty to the violation, of which he was innocent, only because he was under extreme stress due to threats made against him by his co-defendants (his two cell mates). The district court dismissed. In a criminal trial, a guilty plea must be the voluntary expression of the defendant’s own choice. Brady v.

Although the named professional association utilized by the appellant on the lease agreement was not a duly incorporated entity, the appellant maintained that the parties understood that it was merely an abbreviated name for appellant’s duly incorporated entity. The appellee, however, counters that at all times, its lease agreement was with the appellant solely as an individual and that in any event, where the appellant knowingly executed a contract on behalf of a non-incorporated entity, the appellant was individually liable as a matter of law. See § 607.0204, Fla.Stat. (1993); Royal Dev. and Management Corp. v. Guardian 50/50 Fund V, Ltd., 583 So.2d 403, 405, (Fla. 3d DCA 1991) ().

In the circumstances of voluntary con ons for condemnation of property, if the seller and the broker agreed to, and did, pursue condemnation as an acceptable substitute for a sale, then the broker should be entitled to a commission when the property is condemned. If, however, the seller specifically authorized the broker to pursue only a sale, then the broker would not be entitled to a commission for a condemnation. In this case, it is undisputed that a valid oral contract existed whereby, at least, Mclver would act as broker to obtain the sale of Topsail, and would receive a two ). Whether the parties have validly modified a contract is usually a question of fact. See Kiwanis Club of Little Havana, Inc. v. de Kalafe, 723 So.2d 838, 841 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998) (); cf.

Pfizer Inc., 398 F.3d 765, 775 (6th Cir.2005) (citations omitted). Keeping these countervailing principles in mind, this court has held that in deciding whether an issue is within the scope of an arbitration agreement courts should “ask if an action could be maintained without reference to the contract or relationship at issue. If it could, it is likely outside the scope of the arbitration agreement.” Fazio v. Lehman Bros., Inc., 340 F.3d 386, 395 (6th Cir.2003). This court has applied this method to determine whether particular torts or challenges to the validity of the contract itself are within an arbitration clause.

Accordingly, the plaintiff “did not obtain relief on the merits because it sought documents, not merely a search therefore.” Plaintiffs argument that the Court’s orders were the functional equivalent of those in Edmonds, because they resulted in the FBI producing hundreds of pages of documents, amounts to a pre-Buckhannon catalyst theory that “a plaintiff is a ‘prevailing party’ if he achieves the desired result because the lawsuit brought about a voluntary change in the defendant’s conduct.” However, the District of Columbia Circuit explicitly rejected this reasoning in OCAW, 288 F.3d at 457; see also Campaign v.

Bank One’s Brief in Opposition at 10. The effect on the estate will be the same regardless of who wins this action. Should the City prevail in its action against Bank One, Bank One will likely have an indemnification against Debtor. Should the City fail in the action against Bank One, it will still have its claim against Debtor arising out of Debtor’s asserted failure to complete the subdivision improvements. Both claims would arise out of the same obligation and would be for approximately the same amount. See, e.g., In re Salem Mills, Inc., 148 B.R. 505, 508 (Bankr.N.D.Ill.1992) (stating indemnification agreements impact only on allocation of assets among competing creditors, not on size of asset pool); Xonics, 813 F.2d at 127 ().

[Cits.]” Bd. of Public Ed. &c. v. Zimmerman, 231 Ga. 562, 568 (II) (203 SE2d 178) (1974). In this case, the county commission voted against approving Powell’s written contract. Under these circumstances, we cannot find that its later payment to Powell for work provided should be construed as approval or ratification of his entire written contract. Instead, as held by the trial court, Powell’s payment should be construed as approval of at-will employment by the board of tax assessors. Cf. Ogletree v.

Although the police did not inform Martinez of his constitutional right to refuse consent, the subject’s “knowledge of a right to refuse is not a prerequisite of a voluntary consent.” Schneckloth, 412 U.S. at 234, 93 S.Ct. 2041. The finding that Martinez’s consent was voluntary was not clearly erroneous in light of the police officer’s brief encounter, calm demeanor, and lack of repeated questioning, as well as Martinez’s immediate consent to the search and his prior experience as a police officer in the Dominican Republic.

Spink, 517 U.S. 882, 890, 116 S.Ct. 1783, 135 L.Ed.2d 153 (1996). It is well established in this Court’s cases that an employer’s decision whether to terminate an ERISA plan is a settlor function immune from ERISA’s fiduciary obligations. See, e.g., ibid.; Curtiss-Wright Corp. v. Schoonejongen, 514 U.S. 73, 78, 115 S.Ct. 1223, 131 L.Ed.2d 94 (1995). And because “deeision[s] regarding the form or structure” of a plan are generally settlor functions, Hughes Aircraft Co., 525 U.S., at 444, 119 S.Ct. 755, PACE acknowledges that the decision to merge plans is “normally [a] plan sponsor decisio[n]” as well.

Phila.Code § 12-2804(5). 9 . Although the BAA contends that Kovler appeared at the hearing with the original Ticket and that the original Ticket was used by the hearing examiner in making his determination, the original Ticket is not part of the official record and we are unable to discern from the hearing transcript exactly what information was before the hearing examiner. 10 . We further note that Kovler did not raise any objection concerning the absence of the original Ticket at the hearing before the BAA. Kovler’s argument in this regard is therefore waived. See Mitman v. Police Pension Comm'n of City of Easton, 972 A.2d 1276, 1283 (Pa.Cmwlth.2009) (). 11 .

Indeed, Dr. Heinig recognized that blood or buccal samples contain genetic information that could conceivably be subject to misuse. She also observed, however, that the Act prescribes strict penalties for misuse of the samples or unauthorized disclosure of such information. These safeguards adequately ensure that any risk to Wilson’s legitimate privacy interests is minimized. See Amerson, 483 F.3d at 85. Further, Wilson’s concerns are purely speculative. The hypothetical possibility of some future abuse does not substantiate a justiciable controversy. See Banks, 490 F.3d at 1191-92 (); Amerson, 483 F.3d at 86-87 (same); Johnson, ### Response: recognizing potential for abuse of dna information despite statutory safeguards but in the absence of evidence of abuse refusing to adjudicate based on speculation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: when an express cause of action already exists in another section of the same statute. See, e.g., id. at 572, 99 S.Ct. 2479. When Congress wished to provide a cause of action, it apparently knew how to do so and would have done so in a section of the statute immediately following. Congress knew how to create a cause of action in the statute and did so. Section 1914 expressly creates a cause of action for violations of §§ 1911-1913. Furthermore, at least two courts have held that a claim is not viable under § 1915. See B.R.T. v. Executive Dir. of Soc. Serv. Bd. of N.D., 391 N.W.2d 594, 601 (N.D. 1986) (showing a violation of § 1915 will not invalidate termination of parental rights); State ex rel. Juvenile Dept. of Multnomah County v. Woodruff, 108 Or.

In light of these limitations, and in the absence of additional product distribution, the present record does not support the exercise of general jurisdiction over Nestlé Canada. Plaintiffs seek to acquire general jurisdiction over Cadbury pic and Cadbury Holdings on substantially the same grounds advanced against Nestlé S.A. Plaintiffs claim that the periodic business inspections, quality auditing procedures, and royalty payments required by the Cadbury — Hershey agreements permit the court to exercise general jurisdiction. However, these regular but infrequent business dealings are precisely the type of contacts that the Supreme Court rejected as a basis for general jurisdiction in Helicopteros. 466 U.S. at 417-18, 104 S.Ct. 1868 ().

But the Court did not do so, instead deeming it sufficient that they had a sincere desire to sacrifice animals for religious reasons. See Lukumi, 508 U.S. at 531, 113 S.Ct. 2217. Additionally, if anything turned on whether a religious practice is “mandatory” or “optional,” courts would have to question “the validity of particular litigants’ interpretations of [their] creeds” and perhaps even adjudicate “controversies over religious authority or dogma,” tasks that are “not within the judicial ken.” Smith, 494 U.S. at 877, 887, 110 S.Ct. 1595 (internal quotation marks omitted); cf. Presbyterian Church in U.S. v. Mary Elizabeth Hull Mem’l Presbyterian Church, 393 U.S. 440, 449-50, 89 S.Ct. 601, 21 L.Ed.2d 658 (1969) (); see also United States v.

This contention is premised on the idea that somehow his administrative appeal of the Board’s decision would subsume his. civil-rights claims. But Title VII and §§ 1981 and 1983 claims are original actions independent of the administrative review proceeding and are therefore plenary in scope. See Stykel, 252 Ill.Dec. 368, 742 N.E.2d at 914; Stratton, 141 Ill.Dec. 453, 551 N.E.2d at 646 ().

United States v. Gross, 624 F.3d 309, 320-21 (6th Cir.2010). We cannot reconcile such a situation with the Fourth Amendment or the logic of Wong Sun v.

Instead, qualified immunity can be denied if, “in the light of pre-existing law the unlawfulness [was] apparent.” Wilson, 526 U.S. at 614-15, 119 S.Ct. 1692. Because “[t]he basic purpose of th[e Fourth] Amendment ... is to safeguard the privacy and security of individuals against arbitrary invasions by governmental officials,” Camara, 387 U.S. at 528, 87 S.Ct. 1727, Fourth Amendment protections apply in both civil and criminal contexts. For example, in Camara, the Supreme Court held that even a routine administrative search of a home for compliance with health and safety regulations must comply with the Fourth Amendment. Id. at 537, 87 S.Ct. 1727; see also New Jersey v.

We withdraw our previous opinion in this cause issued February 28, 2005, and substitute the following therefor. Upon consideration of the petition for writ of certiorari, we determine that petitioner is not entitled to relief on his claims concerning revocation of parole or the imposition of restitution. As to the claim requesting recalculation of petitioner’s presumptive parole release date, the petition is denied because the Commission seeks to use exactly the same number of months for aggravating circumstances as initially used in establishing the presumptive parole release date.

The key to the State’s argument is the absence of a duty under Alaska law between a defendant/third-party plaintiff and a third-party defendant. For other third-party claims, such as contribution and indemnity, in which such a duty does exist, this court and others have held that the Eleventh Amendment does not immunize a state from a third-party claim in federal court.

Instead, courts must redirect the funds in a manner that best serves the original intent of the settlor or testator.

Stephenson I, 355 N.C. at 383-84, 562 S.E.2d at 397.

But simply because a plaintiff demands money from the estate does not mean the proceeding is a core proceeding and is within the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court. Instead, “[c]ore proceedings are actions by or against the debtor that arise under the Bankruptcy Code in the strong sense, that the Code itself is the souree of the claimant’s right or remedy, rather than just the procedural vehicle for the assertion of a right conferred by some other body of law, normally state law.” Matter of U.S. Brass Corp., 110 F.3d 1261, 1268 (7th Cir.1997); In re Repository Techs., Inc., 601 F.3d 710, 719 (7th Cir. 2010) (“A proceeding ‘arises in’ bankruptcy only if it has ‘no existence outside of the bankruptcy’ ”); Barnett v.

The Kellys rely only on the second alternative to support their claim for attorney fees. We have previously discussed the trial court’s decision-making process in determining whether to make an award of attorney fees: An award of attorney fees and expenses is a two-step process under section 490.1331. As a prerequisite for such an award, the trial court must make a factual finding that the corporation did not substantially comply with c 72, 76 (1951) (), In re Marriage of Voyek, 491 N.W.2d 189, ### Response: holding good faith required for adverse possession means the actual existing state of mind and freedom from a design to defraud " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the Commonwealth must demonstrate an item could cause harm before it can qualify as an instrument of crime for purposes of 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 907; harm is not an element of the PIC statute. I would not view Appellant’s argument as narrowly; I believe Appellant has adequately raised a general claim that the plastic soda bottle is not an instrument of a crime. Thus, I would address this claim on the merits. ¶ 2 Further, I would find that the plastic soda bottle is not an instrument of crime as defined by 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 907. It was certainly not specially made or adapted for criminal use, nor was it possessed by Appellant under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for its lawful uses. See 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 907(d)(1) and (2); Commonwealth v. Williams, 808 A.2d 213, 215 (Pa.Super.2002) (). ¶ 3 Thus, I would reverse Appellant’s ### Response: holding the mere use of an item to facilitate a crime does not transform the item into an instrument of crime for purposes of the pic statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: testified that defendant was not suffering from a mental disease or defect. Defendant’s personality traits, which Dr. Kull said did not amount to a disease or defect that should excuse or mitigate his conduct, were immaterial to the case, or at least of only minimal materiality, unless a psychiatric evaluation of the trustworthiness of a witness’s testimony is admissible to assist the jury’s weighing of credibility. State v. J.Q., supra, 252 N.J.Super. at 39, 599 A.2d 172 (credibility is an issue reserved exclusively for the jury); United States v. Whitted, 11 F.3d 782, 785-87 (8th Cir.1993).

Koschitzki, 55 A.D.3d 575, 866 N.Y.S.2d 677, 681 (2d Dep’t 2008). Although unfair competition often involves misappropriation of trade secrets or ideas, a claim may be based on misappropriation of client lists, internal company documents, and business strategies “if wrongful or fraudulent tactics [are] employed.” Leo Silfen, Inc. v.

Although the Second Circuit has yet to address whether Apprendi apphes retroactively on collateral review, see Santana-Madera v. United States, 260 F.3d 133 (2d Cir.2001), it has noted that the Supreme Court “has measured at least eleven new rules, or proposed new rules, of criminal procedure against the criteria for the second [Teague ] exception and, in every case, has refused to apply the rule at issue retroactively.” Mandanici, 205 F.3d at 529; see also Bilzerian v.

Id. at 531 n. 21, 120 S.Ct. 1620. Thus, in at least one context, namely, crimes implicating the fourth Calder category, the high Court has condemned the reliance interest argument advanced by the Commonwealth—rejecting the notion that protection of an individual’s reliance interests is the sole aim of the Ex Post Facto Clause—and suggested that such an argument would be equally unavailing in the context of the third Calder category at issue herein. Additionally, the Commonwealth cites no case law which would support limiting the ex post facto prohibition to intentional crimes; to the contrary, other courts have found ex post facto violations in circumstances involving unintentional crimes. See, e.g., Masino, supra (); State v. Bunn, 50 Haw. 351, 440 P.2d 528 ### Response: holding the date of the criminal negligence by contractors who failed to properly encase underground gas pipes in concrete resulting in leakage and an accumulation of gas which caused an explosion that killed several people not the date of the consequences of such negligence was the relevant date of the unintentional crime for purposes of an ex post facto analysis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: with instructions to order the modification retroactive to April 16, 2001. Because of the irregular nature of the settlement award, we conclude that the trial court did not err in including only the net portion of this award in Mark's income. Since the record is devoid of evidence regarding the impact on transferring the tax dependency exemptions on both parties and the children, we remand the case to the trial court for further determination in this regard. The order of the trial court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion. FRIEDLANDER, J., and DARDEN, J., concur. 1 .

Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have long recognized that the federal conspiracy statute encompasses two types of conspiracies: (1) a conspiracy to defraud the United States government or agency; and (2) a conspiracy to commit a specific-offense against the United States. See United States v. Jackson, 33 F.3d 866, 870 (7th Cir. 1994) (“As the language of the [federal conspiracy] statute indicates, there are two different conspiracies with which a defendant can be charged under § 371—a conspiracy ‘to commit any offense against the United States,' or a conspiracy ‘to defraud the United States.’” (internal quotation marks omitted) (emphasis in original)); see also Dennis v. United States, 384 U.S. 855, 863, 86 S.Ct. 1840, 16 L.Ed.2d 973 (1966) (). Turning to the specifics of this case, the ### Response: recognizing the two different types of conspiracies under the federal statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to the present judicial estoppel is to the policy which prohibits litigants from manipulating their pleadings in order to obtain unjust results. This policy is evident in Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a) and 41(a)(2) which restrict a party’s right to amend his pleadings or to dismiss his action without prejudice. Under these rules, a court has the discretion to deny dismissal without prejudice of either a claim or an entire action. See 3 Moore’s Federal Pr .Ed.2d 112 (1982). A second point we have considered is whether, when judicial estoppel is being employed, as here, across jurisdictional lines, the proper estoppel law is state or federal. In diversity cases, courts disagree whether the proper estoppel law is state or federal. Compare Allen v. Zurich Insurance Co., 667 F.2d 1162, 1167 n. 4 () with Konstantinidis v. Chen, 626 F.2d 933, 937 ### Response: holding that federal law applies because judicial estoppel relates to protection of the integrity of the federal judicial process " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Frazier of her Miranda rights. Frazier was under police supervision the entire time she was at the DCI office. Each time Frazier was interviewed, she was questioned by the same officer (Jones), at the same location (DCI office), and all but one interview was in the same room at the DCI office. The subject matter of each interview was the same, i.e., the death of Standing Bear. Frazier relies heavily upon the span of time between the. initial warning and her final statement. While Frazier was read her Miranda rights roughly six and a half hours before her final statement, she was reminded of those rights a mere hour before her final interview. Even without the reminder, the six and a half hour time span would not cause the initial warning to become stale. See Davis, 998 P.2d at 1138 (); State v. Trostle, 191 Ariz. 4, 951 P.2d 869, ### Response: holding that a six and a half hour break between the initial warning and defendants confession did not cause the initial warning to become stale " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the defendant’s use of the trademarked word “Playboy,” without the font or symbols — e.g., the famous Playboy bunny— associated with the trademark, constituted fair use because the use was limited to what was reasonably necessary and no more. 279 F.3d at 802. In the instant case, eBay’s use of the TIFFANY Marks on its website and in its communications to eBay buyers and sellers is similarly limited to the Tiffany name. (See, e.g., Pl.’s Exs. 1158, 1159, 1160, 1161, 1164.) eBay has thus met its burden on this element of the New Kids “it would be unreasonable to assume that [Playboy] currently sponsors or endorses someone who describes herself as a ‘Playboy Playmate of the Year in 1981,’” especially where website included explicit disclaimer); Merck & Co., 425 F.Supp.2d at 414 (); cf.

Thus Capital City argues that the district court misinterpreted D.C. law when it instructed the jury (and affirmed in its post-trial order) that the breach of an implicit term of a contract could be tortious. We review the district court’s legal instructions de novo. See Joy v. Bell Helicopter Textron) Inc., 999 F.2d 549, 556 (D.C.Cir.1993). It is true that no reported D.C. case has held that a mere intent not to perform a contractual duty can give rise to a cause of action sounding in tort. Nevertheless, such a holding is not precluded by any of the cases that have recognized that a misrepresentation of one’s intent to perform a collateral commitment might be tortious. See, e.g., Howard v. Riggs Nat’l Bank, 432 A.2d 701, 706-07 (D.C.1981) (); see also Shear v.

Tian further admitted that the statement in his initial asylum application that his wife had been forced to have an abortion was read back to him by his attorney and that he had not indicated that such fact was incorrect. In addition, contrary to Tian’s argument, the record does not indicate that the IJ erred in finding his attempted amendment of his application belated because he waited almost two years to file such correction. In finding him not credible, the IJ also reasonably relied on Tian’s failure to submit sufficient evidence corroborating his claim that family planning officials had detained and beaten him for not paying a fine.

The supreme court specifically rejected the argument that the lack of a statutory declaration precludes a corporation from being considered a state agency or subdivision pursuant to section 768.28(2), finding that a corporation formed by the Jacksonville Transit Authority was entitled to sovereign immunity as ""a state agenc[y] or subdivision! ] under section 768.28(2) because it primarily acts as an instrumentality of JTA,” despite the lack of a statute specifically authorizing its formation.

The probation officer also repeatedly stated that he calculated the presentence report quantities conservatively based on Dotson’s testimony. Woods points out that Dotson was arguably not always honest during his testimony, see J.A. at 626-29 (saying he did not use drugs during probation but then remembering that he did), that he could not calculate weight of drugs by looking at them, J.A. at 621-22, and that he was not sure how much a kilogram is.

These actions are consistent with Thomas’s testimony that, in cases like this one, her “primary purpose [was] to provide the treatment and assistance that the family needs.” J.A. 1482. Evaluating the primary purpose of a child declarant like Jordan is a bit more difficult. In analyzing whether statements made by a child were testimonial, courts have not treated the young age of a declarant as determinative but instead have considered age as one of the “relevant circumstances.” E.g., Commonwealth v. Allshouse, 36 A.3d 163, 181-82 (Pa.2012) ().

In Cortez v. Palace Holdings, S.A., 66 So.3d 959 (Fla.Ct.App.2011), for example, even though the defendants had corporate headquarters located in Florida, none of those corporate divisions were involved in the tortious conduct and therefore the case was dismissed on Florida’s rule of forum non conveniens. See Cortez, 66 So.3d at 963-964. Likewise, in Tananta, the location of the corporate defendant’s marketing arm in Florida was “inconsequential” because these marketing operations “had nothing whatsoever to do with” the injury that the plaintiff suffered. See 909 So.2d at 886; see also Calvo v. Sol Melia, S.A., 761 So.2d 461, 464 (Fla.Ct.App.2000) () (emphasis added).

Id. at 581. Here, as in Mitchell II and Anderson, some of the damages plaintiff seeks are not “included within the legislation” plaintiff invokes. See Mitchell II, 664 F.2d at 274. Although money-mandating, 1603(a) mandates only “a restricted degree of compensation” — namely “a grant ... to reimburse” the cost of certain “energy property.” The amount of that grant is to be equal to “the applicable percentage basis of such property.” There is no provision, explicit or implicit, for any kind of consequential damages. In short, § 1603(a) cannot “fairly be interpreted” as mandating consequential damages. LCM Energy Solutions v. United States, 107 Fed.Cl. 770, 773-74 (2012) ().

The loans also do not provide a fixed amount of debt at the time they are approved. It is true that the loans indicate a maximum borrowable amount, but the borrower can draw on the loans only as necessary to cover any unpaid tuition balance after other sources of funding have been exhausted. The amount disbursed therefore might not reach the stated maximum. When the school issues the loan, it is unknown whether the student will use all, some, or none of the available credit. See Peterson, 584 N.W.2d at 663 (finding no fixed debt when attorney did not agree to provide representation for a specific fee and instead charged an hourly rate); cf. Brozek, 535 N.W.2d at 398 ().

Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199-1200 (9th Cir.2002) . We are not persuaded by Auer’s arguments on appeal regarding his inability to exhaust his claims. We construe the district court’s order as dismissing the retaliation claim without prejudice. See Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1120 (9th Cir.2003) (dismissing without prejudice). However, we reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the remaining defendants based on Auer’s purported failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We conclude that Auer exhausted the administrative process by filing grievances complaining about defendants’ alleged excessive force and by appealing through all available levels of administrative review. See Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 740, 121 S.Ct. 1819, 149 L.Ed.2d 958 (2001) ().

Grogan, 498 U.S. at 291, 111 S.Ct. 654. Thus, on appeal, we review de novo any legal interpretation of the terms “willful” and “malicious,” but we review only for clear error the bankruptcy court’s finding that a creditor showed a willful and malicious injury by a preponderance of the evidence. “A debtor is responsible for a “will-fur injury when he or she commits an intentional act the purpose of which is to cause injury or which is substantially certain to cause injury.” In re Jennings, 670 F.3d 1329, 1334 (11th Cir.2012) (quoting In re Walker, 48 F.3d 1161, 1165 (11th Cir.1995)) (alteration omitted); see Kawaauhau v.

Def.’s Mot. at 1. This motion has now been thoroughly briefed and was argued at a hearing held on June 8, 2015. STANDARDS FOR DECISION A. A Claim Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 14.98(a) As explicated in 28 U.S.C. § 1498, the United States has waived sovereign immunity and granted this court exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate patent infringement claims against the federal government “[wjhenever an invention described in and covered by a patent of the United States is used or manufactured by or for the United States without license of the owner thereof or lawful right to use or manufacture the same.” 28 U.S.C. § 1498(a); see also Martin v. United States, 99 Fed.Cl. 627, 632-33 (2011) (). The statute further states, in relevant part, ### Response: recognizing that section 1498 rather than the tucker act 28 usc 1491a grants this court jurisdiction over patent infringement claims against the united states " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in the purse with which Appellant might harm either herself or him. We assume, without deciding, that this justifies Officer Stewart’s seizure of Appellant’s purse. ¶ 12 But the State must also justify the immediate search of the purse after it was in Officer Stewart’s control. After the purse’s seizure, the danger of Appellant using something in it to harm herself or others was removed. Generally, once a purse is no longer in its owner’s possession, a protective search of the purse is not justified pursuant to Terry. See State v. Schellhorn, 95 Or. App. 297, 769 P.2d 221, 223 (1989) (“[O]nce the officer had seized the purse, he no longer had any reason to believe that it still posed an immediate threat to him.”); People v. Stewart, 166 Mich.App. 263, 420 N.W.2d 180, 181-82 (1988) (); State v. Wynne, 552 N.W.2d 218, 222 ### Response: holding that the search of purses could not be justified as a protective search for weapons when police had control of the purses " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: he could ask his union to invoke arbitration on his behalf. See id. § 5(d). The negotiated procedure, though not open to all conceivable complaints, did cover Suzal’s. Using terms of art whose meaning derives from the CSRA, the collective bargaining agreement defined grievable matters to include “prohibited personnel practices” as well as “adverse actions and removals for performance”. Id. § 2(a). We agree with the Voice of America that the expiration and nonrenewal of an appointment for a specified term is not a “removal”, and hence that it is not an “adverse action” either. See 5 U.S.C. § 7512 (effectively defining “adverse actions” to include removals, suspensions, reductions in grade or pay, and furloughs); Berger v. Department of Commerce, 3 MSPB 297, 297-98, 3 M.S.P.R. 198 (1980) (); cf. National Treasury Employees Union v. ### Response: holding that the expiration and nonrenewal of a term appointment is not an adverse action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: because the Plaintiffs have not sufficiently alleged that the Defendants either invoked or threatened to invoke the arbitration provision of the Sears credit card agreements. We thus agree, in disposing of Count I, with the courts that have deemed a challenge to an arbitration provision, in the absence of an underlying dispute or imminent injury, to be nonjusticiable. See, e.g., Bowen, 233 F.3d 1331; Lee v. Am. Express Travel Related Servs., No. 07-04765, 2007 WL 4287557, at *5 (N.D.Cal.

To hold otherwise would effectively excise these words from the statute. But the words are there, and it must be assumed that the legislature employed them for a particular reason, to wit, the section is to apply to diversion of parkland to nonpark uses, and not to the use of parkland for other park purposes. Secondly, the whole thrust of section 26.-001(a)(2) is to require that certain findings be made by the governing body after notice and a hearing. One of the two required findings is that: [T]he program or project includes all reasonable planning to minimize harm to the land, as a park.... Id.

If Jones requests that a petition be filed but counsel believes such a petition would be frivolous, counsel may move in this Court for leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must state that a copy thereof was served on Jones. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this Court and argument would not aid in the decisional process. AFFIRMED. * Jones was initially sentenced to 124 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, the parties filed a joint motion to remand this case in light of this court's decision in United States v.

The debtors contend that the failure to comply with the time limits presents a subject matter jurisdiction defense which cannot be waived and which is not subject to the equitable doctrines. A. The jurisdictional nature of the time limits. Generally, a failure to comply with a limitations period may be excused by equitable doctrines such as estoppel, waiver, or equitable tolling, if the limitations period is not a jurisdictional requirement.

After Officer Lewis expressed confusion, Hummons said he owned two homes and was out doing work with the weed trimmer. She noted that the weed trimmer did not look as if it had been used. She then asked to see his identification card, which Hummons voluntarily pro vided. While holding the card, the officer conducted a warrant check. ¶ 5 Although the warrant check revealed a misdemeanor arrest warrant, Officer Lewis decided to tell Hummons about the warrant, but not arrest him.

We do not agree with Karvelas that such activities constitute protected activity. It is true that Karvelas need not have known that his actions could lead to a qui tarn suit under the FCA, or even that a False Claims Act existed, in order to demonstrate that he engaged in protected conduct.

In light of this testimony, we hold that Dr. Payne’s opinion regarding the etiology of plaintiff’s current condition is more than mere speculation and, thus, was sufficient to support the Commission’s finding that “[plaintiff’s] reactive fibromyalgia was caused or substantially aggravated by her original injury by accident.” See Hedrick v. PPG Industries, 126 N.C. App. 354, 484 S.E.2d 856, disc. review denied, 346 N.C. 546, 488 S.E.2d 801 (1997) (); Keel v. H & V Inc., 107 N.C.

He may also properly investigate various defenses, but unreasonably select among the alternatives. The inquiries also overlap at the prejudice stage: with respect to defective investigations, the test for prejudice is whether the noninvestigated evidence was powerful enough to establish a probability that a reasonable attorney would decide to present it and a probability that such presentation might undermine the jury verdict. Wiggins, 539 U.S. at 535, 123 S.Ct. 2527. 1 Guided by this distinction, we first consider counsel’s performance of their “duty to make reasonable investigations or to make a reasonable decision that makes particular investigations unnecessary.” Strickland, 466 U.S. at 691, 104 S.Ct. 2052.

See Thompson, 516 U.S. at 113, 116 S.Ct. 457 (stating that “in custody” determination is made against the backdrop of historical facts that make up the “totality of circumstances”); see also note 3, supra. Considering these additional factors in the objective determination of custodial status, we do not believe that a reasonable 17-year-old in Alvarado’s position would have felt “at liberty to terminate the interrogation and leave.” Thompson, 516 U.S. at 112, 116 S.Ct. 457; cf. Berkemer, 468 U.S. at 442, 104 S.Ct. 3138 (). B.

OOR concluded that based upon the evidence provided, the Department met its burden of proving that it does not possess the requested records. (Final Determination at 4.) As to the Department’s claim that it was not required to obtain a record from its contractor where that record does not directly relate to the contractor's performance of providing medical services, OOR noted that certain records in the possession of a third-party government contractor are subject to disclosure under RTKL Section 506(d)(1), 65 P.S. § 67.506(d)(1), citing Allegheny County Department of Administrative Services v.

Thus, its clear that if someone had any substantial control over the compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of plaintiffs employment it was Dragonfly and not TSI. Based on the foregoing, the court finds that plaintiffs Title VII retaliation claim fails. It is important to note that regardless of whether TSI was plaintiffs employer, plaintiffs claim would have still failed. Although causal connection may be established due to the temporal proximity between the alleged retaliatory actions and the issuance of the Right to Sue letter, the defendants proffered reason for communicating with plaintiffs new employer was both legitimate and non-discriminatory. See DeCaire v. Mukasey, 530 F.3d 1, 19 (1st Cir.2008) ().

Finally, Ms. Goren’s amended complaint cannot be saved by its many conclusory and vague allegations concerning the collective conduct of the “defendants.” It is well established that a complaint may be dismissed if it contains only conclusory, vague and general allegations of a conspiracy.

As stated above, in order to defeat a motion for summary judgment, Federal Rule 56 of Civil Procedure requires the nonmoving party to designate specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. at 256-57. To do so, the nonmoving party must identify evidence that would support a jury verdict. Id. In assessing the record, the Court must see it in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, Hancock Indus., 811 F.2d at 231, but must also apply the clear and convincing standard of proof to the evidence presented. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. at 255; see also In re Jobes, 108 N.J. 394, 441, 529 A.2d 434 ().

(Doc. 49, Exh. 16, # 26). In addition to the above mentioned admission, the Court notes that the Plaintiff stated in her deposition that she read the state court complaint, and that she “pretty much” understood it. (Doc. 49, Exh. 3, p40). However, she also found the title “complaint for money loaned” to be confusing (Id., at 41). She testified that she did not understand paragraph 2 of the state court complaint wherein it says “[t]here is presently due the plaintiff from the defendant on the money loaned on defendant’s charge card debt.” (Id. at 4S). However, the Court does not find that this testimony alone, without more evidence, supports that a genuine issue of fact exists. See Pettit v.

This theory is flawed because it misconstrues the nature of the charge against him. Mitchell was charged with being present in an unauthorized area, in violation of ODOC Rule 03-1. The librarian’s description of the incident makes clear that Mitchell was not authorized to be at the canteen on August 8, 2008, because he was assigned to Housing Unit B, and, as Mitchell knew, only inmates assigned to Housing Unit C were permitted to go to the canteen that day. (R. at 28-29.) Thus, whether Mitchell signed in at his housing unit before proceeding to the canteen is legally irrelevant, as Mitchell’s conduct of being present at the canteen without authorization violated Rule 03-1 in any ev .1991) ().

That notwithstanding clause was included in ORS 115.008 in response to our decision in Payne. In Payne, we held that ORS 12.250 exempted the state from the 30-day limitation period set out in ORS 115.145(1). We based that holding on our earlier decision in City of Medford v. Budge-McHugh Supply Co., 91 Or App 213, 754 P2d 607, rev den, 306 Or 661 (1988), in which we held that ORS 12.250 was applicable outside of ORS chapter 12, despite the “in this chapter” language. Specifically, we applied the exemption in ORS 12.250 to claims brought under ORS 30.905. In doing so, we rejected the argument that “ORS 12.250 applies only to limitations in chapter 12.” Budge-McHugh Supply Co., 91 Or App at 218-19. However, the Supreme Court rejected that reasoning in Shasta, 329 Or at 158-59 ().

In this case, Defendant was required to work as a workfare participant with the Project Forward Program. If Defendant declined to participate in this program, his wife would be required to participate in order to continue the family’s AFDC benefits. If his wife also declined to participate, the AFDC benefits would be terminated. Under these circumstances, the work for HSD by Defendant cannot reasonably be characterized as voluntary. Instead, Defendant was compelled to work in order to receive AFDC benefits for his family. 15. The Supreme Court of Rhode Island in Durand v. City of Woonsocket, 537 A.2d 129 (R.I.1988), reviewed a similar question regarding whether work was voluntary.

Waiters, 133 F.3d 786, 795-96 (11th Cir.1998) A claim concerning an isolated incident is generally insufficient to sustain a claim for failure to train because those officials who are responsible for creating a policy must be on notice of the constitutional deficiencies. In Wright v. Sheppard, 919 F.2d 665 (11th Cir.1990), the Eleventh Circuit held a sheriffs department could not be liable for the actions of a deputy unless there was evidence “of a history of widespread prior abuse” such that the sheriff was “on notice of the need for improved training or supervision.” 919 F.2d at 674.

In addition, the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing sentence upon Lawyer’s conviction for felony DUI. Accordingly, Lawyer’s judgment of conviction and sentence for felony DUI is affirmed. Chief Judge LANSING, and Judge GRATTON concur. 1 . At the time of Lawyer’s conviction this provision was codified as Idaho Code § 18-8005(7). It has subsequently been recodified as Idaho Code Section 18-8005(9). 2009 Idaho Sess.

The Second Circuit has held that this statutory provision does not imply a private right of action. See Cenzon-DeCarlo v. Mount Sinai Hosp., 626 F.3d 695, 698-99 (2d Cir.2010). However, if the hospitals are indeed entities covered under 42 U.S.C. § 300a-7(c), JWHO would likely have a remedy under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a violation of its statutory right to be free from discrimination in seeking admitting privileges. See Maine v. Thiboutot, 448 U.S. 1, 4, 100 S.Ct. 2502, 65 L.Ed.2d 555 (1980) (); Banks v. Dallas Hous.

It further directs the sentencing court to “Mpply the base offense level plus any applicable specific offense characteristics that were known, or reasonably should have been known by the defendant.” Id. Thus, § 2X3.1, applied in isolation, would only extend the reasonable-knowledge requirement to “specific offense characteristics” of the underlying offense.

It is not necessary to aver the capacity of a party to sue or be sued or the authority of a party to sue or be sued in a representative capacity or the legal existence of an organized association of persons that is made a party, except to the extent required to show the jurisdiction of the court.... Rule 9(a) speaks of three concepts: “capacity” to sue or be sued, “authority” to sue or be sued in a representative capacity and “legal existence” of an organized association. The rule thus implies that each of the three are distinct concepts with different meanings. See Roby v. Corporation of Lloyd’s, 796 F.Supp. 103, 110 (S.D.N.Y.1992) (Lasker, J.)

Instead, she argues that her petition was timely under the three-day enlargement period of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 26(c). By its terms, Rule 26(c) applies only to actions triggered by “service.” Fed. R. App. P. 26(c) (“When a party may or must act within a specified time after service, 3 days are added after the period would otherwise expire_” (emphasis added)). Section 1252(b)(1) does not mention “service”; the trigger date for filing is the “date of the final order of removal.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1). Thus, Rule 26(c) does not apply to enlarge the period in § 1252(b)(1). See Mounivong v. I.N.S., 49 F.3d 728, at *1 (5th Cir. 1995) (unpublished) (); Nahatchevska v.

In ruling upon the Rule 12.02(6) motion, the court declined to assume that the exceptions to the statutory immunity conferred by Tenn.Code Ann. §§ 70-7-101 et seq. would not apply. ANALYSIS Sufficiency of Plaintiffs’ Complaint The State argues that the plaintiffs’ claim should be dismissed for failure to state a claim. The State’s argument is premised upon the contention that the recreational use statute creates the plaintiffs’ cause of action. The State therefore argues that the complaint must allege one of the exceptions to immunity provided in the recreational use statute. We disagree. The statutory right against the-State as a landowner is codified at Tenn. Code Ann. § 9-8-307(a)(l)(C). See Sanders v. State, 783 S.W.2d 948 (Tenn.Ct.App.1989) ().

Our conclusion is consistent with the views of other circuits, which uniformly have not insisted on the circulation of a draft EA. See Alliance To Protect Nantucket Sound, Inc. v. U.S. Dept. of Amy, 398 F.3d 105, 114-115 (1st Cir.2005) (concluding that “[n]othing in the CEQ regulations requires circulation of a draft EA for public comment, except under certain ‘limited circumstances,’ ” and rejecting Anderson’s contrary language as dicta); Pogliani v.

McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 68, 112 S.Ct. 475, 116 L.Ed.2d 385 (1991). “[I]t is not the province of a federal habeas court to reexamine state-court determinations on state-law questions.” Id. at 67-68, 112 S.Ct. 475. As a result, “errors in application of state law, especially with regard to the admissibility of evidence, are usually not cognizable in federal habeas corpus.” Walker v. Engle, 703 F.2d 959, 962 (6th Cir.1983); see also Coleman v. Mitchell, 244 F.3d 533, 542 (6th Cir.2001) ().

Ibarra-Hernandez contends, however, that the district court had the requisite discretion to depart downward from this 16-level adjustment because the Sentencing Commission’s 2001 amendments changed the nature of § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(ii). Specifically, Ibarra-Hernandez points to Application Note 5 of the former version of USSG § 2L1.2, which allowed a sentencing court the discretion to depart only in situations where the factors explicitly enumerated in Application Note 5 existed.

In interpreting Sampson, however, numerous other courts have assumed that the “genuinely extraordinary” test for irreparable harm applies in all employee discharge cases, whatever the asserted basis for relief. See, e.g., Stewart v. United States Immigration & Naturalization Serv., 762 F.2d 193, 199-200 (2d Cir.1985); E.E.O.C. v. Anchor Hocking Corp., 666 F.2d 1037, 1040-44 (6th Cir.1981).

Here, as in Nejat and Maziarz, the ALJ concluded that T.J. satisfied the requirements of step two and continued to the next step. Similarly, a member of this Court recently found that failure to consider evidence at one stage of the administrative process is not an error when the evidence is properly considered at a later stage of the process.

To ignore the fact that Tarragon’s motion to confirm the award on its counterclaim was pending would be the antithesis of “indulg[ing] every reasonable presumption to uphold [the arbitration] proceedings.” Miele, 656 So.2d at 473; see also Murphey v.

The relationship of these account holders is best characterized as “unilateral,” because Lloyds did not direct contacts at Tennessee. Cf. Helicopteros Nacionales de Colombia, S.A. v.

At best, the work alibi was an incomplete alibi. Susan and (). Overton further asserts that alternative ### Response: holding that there was not deficient performance with regard to the failure to investigate the alibi defense claim because the available testimony provided at best an incomplete alibi as the testimony still allowed for a two to threehour window for the defendant to commit the murder " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that are based on the adjudicator’s observation of the applicant’s demeanor, in recognition of the fact that the IJ’s ability to observe the witness’s demeanor places her in the best position to evaluate whether apparent problems in the witness’s testimony suggest a lack of credibility or, rather, can be attributed to an innocent cause such as difficulty understanding the question. See Zhang, 386 F.3d at 73. On the other hand, we grant lesser deference to credibility determinations that are based on analysis of testimony as opposed to demeanor. See Secaida-Rosales, 331 F.3d at 307. “[W]e will reverse where [an] adverse credibility finding is based upon speculation or upon an incorrect analysis of the testimony.” Ramsameachire, 357 F.3d at 178; see also Secaida-Rosales, 331 F.3d at 307 ().

It is important for district courts to recognize surveys of this type because their qualification for a traditional hearsay exception obviates the need to examine methodology before overruling a hearsay objection. Regardless of the basis cited for admitting these surveys, errors in methodology thus properly go only to the weight of the evidence—subject, of course, to Rule 403’s more general prohibition against evidence that is less probative than prejudicial or confusing. See, e.g., Grotrian, 523 F.2d at 1341 (finding, in the context of a survey offered to show actual confusion, that while courts cite different bases for admitting survey evidence, “[t]he more relevant issue [is] the weight to be given to the surveys”); see also Starter, 170 F.3d at 297 ().

At trial, BAC offered the original note, which contained an undated blank endorsement. BAC’s witness, an employee of Bank of America, did not know when the endorsement was made. On appeal, BAC argues that the original note established its standing to foreclose. Although BAC may have established its standing at the time of trial by filing the original note endorsed in blank, it did not establish its standing at inception of the suit. By now it should be understood that a plaintiffs standing at inception of the suit is not established by filing the note with an undated endorsement after the complaint has been filed. See Matthews v. Fed. Nat’l Mortg. Ass’n, 160 So.3d 131, 133 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015) (); Focht v.

The date a court receives a notice of appeal controls whether it was timely filed. See United States v. Solly, 545 F.2d 874, 876 (3d Cir. 1976) (construing Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure); see also Caterbone, 640 F.3d at 110 (looking at date notice of appeal in bankruptcy case was filed, not sent, in assessing timeliness). Because Hussain’s notice of appeal was received after the 14-day time period expired on April 23, 2012, it was untimely. Hussain also did not file a motion to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal pursuant Rule 8002(c). The District Court thus lacked jurisdiction to entertain Hussain’s appeal.

Although the court stated it was satisfied that the record of the M.R.Crim.P. 11 proceedings conducted on May 7, 1992, at which Fleming had entered guilty pleas, clearly reflected he had done so knowingly and voluntarily, the court properly allowed Fleming to withdraw those pleas. See M.R.Crim.P. 32(d) (A motion to withdraw a plea of guilty may be made only before sentence is imposed.) See also State v. Malo, 577 A.2d 332 (Me.1990) ().

That course was inconsistent with the Model Jury Charge (Criminal), Homicide § 6, and violated the legislative commands contained in N.J.S.A. 2C:1-13b(1) and (2). Under those subsections, the State is required to disprove an affirmative defense if there is evidence supporting it, unless the code or another statute “requires the defendant to prove [the defense] by a preponderance of evidence or such other standard as specified in this code.” Since the felony murder affirmative defense does not contain language placing the burden of persuasion on a defendant, a proper jury instruction must advise that the State has the burden of disproving the defense beyond a reasonable doubt. Cf. State v. Kelly, 97 N.J. 178, 200, 478 A.2d 364 (1984) ().

Under the plain language of the UBIT, the purchase of securities on margin is a purchase using borrowed funds; therefore, under § 514(c), the securities are subject to an “acquisition indebtedness.” See Elliot Knitwear Profit Sharing Plan v. Commissioner, 614 F.2d 347, 348-51 (3d Cir.1980). Thus, the margin-financed securities constitute “debt-financed property” under § 514(b)(1). As “debt-financed property,” § 512(b)(4) and § 514(a)(1) require that the income derived from these securities be treated “as an item of gross income derived from an unrelated trade or business” (in the proportion that the basis of the property bears to the amount financed), and, therefore, this income is included in the § 512 computation of unrelated business taxable income. See, e.g., id. ().

Deloitte & Touche, L.L.P., 27 F.Supp.2d 1324 (N.D.Ga.1998), as stating that “a drastic overstatement” coupled with GAAP violations could be enough to raise the requisite strong inference against an auditor); In re Sunbeam Sec. Litig., 89 F.Supp.2d 1326, 1345 (S.D.Fla.1999) (citing the allegation that the “sheer magnitude of the restatements of Sunbeam’s financial statements suggests that Arthur Andersen should have known or was severely reckless not to know that its Unqualified Audit Opinion was misleading”); Carley Capital, 27 F.Supp.2d at 1339-40 (); In re Sahlen & Assoc., Inc.

The denial of a motion to dismiss by itself is not a final and appealable order but, rather, is an interlocutory order not appealable under any of the exceptions set forth in Rule 307. In re Petition of Filippelli, 207 Ill. App. 3d 813, 817-18 (1990); Rosinia v. Gusmano, 90 Ill. App. 3d 882, 886-87 (1980). “Rule 307 allows only the review of the order from which a party takes an appeal, and such an appeal does not open the door to a general review of all orders entered by the trial court up to the date of the order that is appealed.” In re Petition of Filippelli, 207 Ill.

Allen held that when plaintiffs ground their equal protection injuries in stigmatic harm, they only have standing if they also allege discriminatory treatment. Allen, 468 U.S. at 755, 104 S.Ct. 3315. That Plaintiff alleges that he personally and deeply feels the impact of Mississippi’s state flag, however sincere those allegations are, is irrelevant to Allen’s, standing analysis unless Plaintiff alleges discriminatory treatment. See, e.g., Freedom from Religion Found., Inc. v.

Washington, 301 U.S. 397, 57 S.Ct. 797, 81 L.Ed. 1182 (1937), the Supreme Court explained the reach of the Ex Post Facto Clause as follows: [T]he ex post facto clause looks to the standard of punishment prescribed by a statute, rather than-to the sentence actually imposed_ [A]n increase in the possible penalty is ex post facto, regardless of the length of the sentence actually imposed, since the measure of punishment prescribed by the later statute is more severe than that of the earlier. Id. 57 S.Ct. at 799 (citations omitted). Prior to the enactment of the MVRA, the district courts had the discretion to order “that the defendant make restitution to any victim of the offense.” 18 U.S.C.A. § 3663 (West 1985). See United States v. Williams, 128 F.3d 1239, 1241 (8th Cir.1997) ().

While we do not hold that there is a procedural requirement to conduct an in camera review before ruling on a party’s assertion of the attorney-client privilege, the present facts establish that Twin City satisfied its burden of triggering the circuit court’s obligation to conduct an in camera review of the disputed docu ments.

Wiggins contends that he was prejudiced by the tendency of the evidence to show that he was incompetent and that he had been treated for sexual aggression against children. Contrary to Wiggins’s assertion, his prison medical file did contain documents pertaining to his treatment for a psychological disorder; and Wiggins admitted at trial that defense counsel had access to his prison medical file. Furthermore, Wiggins’s testimony with regard to the type of mental disorder from which he was suffering opened the door to defense counsel’s questioning. United States v.

We must therefore dismiss this petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. See Magana-Pizano v. INS, 200 F.3d 603, 607 (9th Cir.1999) (); Briseno v.

See id. at 39. Moreover, states may not provide benefits to some categorically needy individuals but not to others. See 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(10)(B)(i); see also Schweiker v. Hogan, 457 U.S. 569, 573 n. 6, 102 S.Ct. 2597, 73 L.Ed.2d 227 (1982) (stating that Section 1396a(a)(10)(B) ensures “that the medical assistance afforded to an individual who qualified under any categorical assistance program could not be different from that afforded to an individual who qualified under any other program”); see also Sobky v.

This argument at its essence is that Debtor engaged in a knowing and conscious fraudulent scheme. Critical to Debtor’s position is that the release of Clark Fork under Section 1102 was effective, thereby removing Plaintiffs as creditors of Clark Fork. However, if Plaintiffs can prove (as they have alleged) that the release was obtained through fraud, then the release would be ineffective. “If action is taken for a fraudulent purpose or to carry out a fraudulent purpose or to carry out a fraudulent scheme, the action is void and of no force or effect.” Richard A. Lord, Williston On Contracts Sec. 69.4 (4th Ed.2003). A release may be set aside if it was obtained fraudulently. Stanley v. Holms, 293 Mont. 343, 975 P.2d 1242 (1999) (); Riggs et al. v.

See id. (declining to address the appellant’s argument that the trial court improperly found the victims’ ages as mitigating circumstances where there was no causal link between the children’s ages and their deaths, because the appellant failed to raise that argument before the trial court). Even if this claim were not barred, we would find it to be without merit. As noted above, Caylor does not dispute that he was on felony probation at the time of the murder. Instead, he argues that because this Court has imposed a nexus requirement on the “avoid arrest” aggravator, a similar requirement should apply to the felony probation aggravating circumstance. See Connor v. State, 808 So.2d 598, 610 (Fla.2001) (). However, the felony probation aggravator is ### Response: holding that to establish that a murder was committed for the purpose of avoiding a lawful arrest the state must show beyond a reasonable doubt that the sole or dominant motive for the murder was the elimination of a witness " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a trade name of County Forest. His brief to this Court reiterates that this was his intent. This testimony establishes that he was not operating Porter Cash Fuel as a separate sole proprietorship, which might have permitted County Forest to escape liability. Because Porter operated Porter Cash Fuel as an agent for County Forest without disclosing that County Forest was the principal, he and County Forest are parties to the contract. See Restatement (Third) of Agency § 6.03. This result is consistent with the outcome of our prior cases. Treadwell, 2007 ME 150, ¶¶ 19-23, 938 A.2d 794; Me. Farmers Exch. v.

III. ANALYSIS ON RENEWED MOTION FOR JUDGMENT Because Hickman was not entitled to recover compensatory damages under her ADA retaliation claim, she was only entitled to seek equitable remedies for that claim. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g)(1). Because she could only recover equitable remedies, Hickman had no statutory right to a jury trial on the ADA retaliation claim. However, in actions not triable of right by a jury, the court upon its own initiative may try any issue with an advisory jury. Fed. R. Civ. P. 39(c). The Court chose to do so here. The Court is not bound by the findings of the advisory jury and is free to adopt them in whole or in part or to totally disregard them. See Andrade v. Chojnac 04) (); Nieto v. Kapoor, 268 F.3d 1208, 1217 (10th ### Response: holding that by its terms rule 50 applies only to jury trials " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: his past sexual history as part of the program. However, the hospital promised that any information disclosed during treatment would remain confidential. The petitioner confessed to new sex crimes during treatment, which the hospital disclosed to the court. The court thereafter sentenced the petitioner to an extended period of imprisonment, in part because of the petitioner’s confessions of past criminal sexual activity. We held that the petitioner’s confessions were obtained involuntarily because he was required to divulge his past criminal history under the promise that any disclosures would remain confidential. Id. at 1465-66. Pens is consistent with several decisions from our court, as well as our sister circuits. See, e.g., United States v. Walton, 10 F.3d 1024, 1031 (3d Cir.1993) (); United States v.

Though Ellis did not confess to wrongdoing during the interview, he did make admissions, as he placed himself with Y.W. in the shower at the same time (though under different circumstances than those testified to by V.W.), and as he admitted to unintended contact with V.W.’s vaginal area while teaching V.W. how to bathe. See Collier, 892 S.W.2d at 695 (noting that defendant’s statement placing himself at the scene of a murder, though not a confession, was an admission). The rule of completeness applies to both confessions and admissions. Id. (). The trial court committed legal error when it ### Response: holding that an admission falls under the rule of completeness " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the right to use kitchen appliances and implements and the right to deny entry to a person who had no right to enter the house at all. Thus, the jury could have reasonably concluded Chana had a “right to actual care, custody, control, or management of the house.” And although a rational jury would probably conclude that Chana’s right to actual care, custody, control, or management of the Twombly Drive house was limited in scope and contingent on Janie’s continued permission, a rational jury could find that Chana’s limited right was greater than Ramirez’s — who had no right at all. See Garza, 344 S.W.3d at 413 (stating the Penal Code’s definition of owner is “expansive” and “give[s] ownership status to anyone with a rational connection to the property”); cf. Alexander, 757 S.W.2d at 97 ().

Accordingly, any objection by Pepe-Frazier’s trial counsel would have lacked merit and, thus, counsel was not ineffective. Decided March 18, 2015 The Pate Law Firm, Page A. Pate, Jess B. Johnson, for appellant. Paul L. Howard, Jr., District Attorney, Arthur C. Walton, Sheila E. Gallow, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee. Pepe-Frazier also seems to argue that his defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to request a presentence investigation or present mitigating evidence, pointing to counsel’s testimony at the motion-for-new-trial hearing in which he conceded that he “probably” should have done those things. However, Pepe-Frazier fails to identify exactly what an inve (712 SE2d 633) (2011) (). 15 See, e.g., Morris v.

The Court of Appeals affirmed, Lowe, 207 Or App at 534, and we allowed review to consider whether plaintiffs complaint stated a negligence claim under Oregon law. Before turning to the parties’ arguments, we begin by noting what this case does not involve. This is not a case in which plaintiff has alleged that she has suffered any present physical harm as a result of defendants’ negligence and seeks damages for her fear of developing cancer, for the increased risk of developing cancer that she faces, or for the costs of medical care to determine the extent of her harm. In such a case, as defendants conceded below, a plaintiff could obtain damages for those harms upon proper proof. See Zehr v. Haugen, 318 Or 647, 656-57, 871 P2d 1006 (1994) (). Rather, plaintiff alleges only that a ### Response: recognizing that when a defendants negligence causes bodily injury the plaintiff can recover damages for past present and future medical expenses bodily injury and emotional distress " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: admissions to the jury. Instead, it sought to enter the admissions into evidence. Despite the absence of a request to publish, the trial judge allowed Contractor to argue the admissions to the jury. Contractor capitalized on this ruling by arguing the substance of the admissions to the jury and presenting the answer to admission number four during both its opening and closing arguments. We find no error. B. Jury Charge Contractor argues the trial judge denied its alternative request that the jury be instructed that the responses to the requests to admit were conclusive facts in the case. We find no merit in this contention. Generally, a party is entitled to a jury charge regarding requests to admit which were published to the jury. See McIntosh, 315 S.C. at 192, 432 S.E.2d at 487 (). Here, Contractor argued at trial that “either ### Response: holding trial courts general charge concerning requests for admissions was a correct statement of law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in Kirk, we hold that the trial court’s refusal to sever the charges is harmless error. Although Kirk controls our harmless error ruling in this case, we are troubled by the trial court’s disregard for the clear holding in Johnson and Long that the charge should have been severed. See id. (noting that the development of case rendered harmless “any error that may have initially occurred” in the denial of the motion to sever (emphasis added)). The error here is rendered “harmless” only because the defendant decided to testify in one or more of the cases, a dilemma he should not have been required to confront had the trial court applied the Johnson and Long holdings. Nevertheless, we are bound by the Kirk decision, see Commonwealth v. Burns, 240 Va. 171, 174-75, 395 S.E.2d 456, 457 (1990) (), unless this Court should determine en banc ### Response: holding that decision by panel of this court is established precedent under rules of stare decisis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: test. Onee the driver has elected either a blood or a breath test, the officer has a corresponding duty to comply with the driver's request. See § 42-4-1801(T)(a@)(II)(A). The issue before us today requires us to apply the language of the statute in light of our own precedent in Gillett. Of course, our primary task in construing a statute is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the general assembly. People v. Dist. Court, 718 P.2d 918, 921 (Colo.1986). We first look to the language of the statute itself. Words are given their. plain and ordinary meaning unless they have acquired a technical or particular meaning. § 2-4-101, C.R.S. (2004). If the clear intent of the legislature appears with reasonable certainty, we need not resort to other rules of statutory constru pp.1994) ().

In that these two claims are separate and distinct, the damages resulting from the excessive force claim are not sufficient to show that Miller suffered damages as a result of the officers’ unlawful entry into his home. Therefore, the district court would not have erred if it had given a nominal damages instruction on Miller’s unlawful entry claim. Miller further points out that the First Circuit has held that “a plaintiff may request the judge to instruct the jury on nominal damages, or in the absence of such an instruction, may ask the trial court for nominal damages on the r. 2001) (unpublished opinion) (); Salazaar v.

In other words, the Supreme Court’s precedent convinces us that any ‘definite and firm conviction’ of the reviewing court must still include some measure of deference to the trial court’s factual determinations.”). Credibility findings demand even greater deference. Anderson, 470 U.S. at 575, 105 S.Ct. 1504; see also Allen v. Iranon, 283 F.3d 1070, 1078 n. 8 (9th Cir.2002). When applying this standard of review, we necessarily incorporate an understanding of the appropriate burden of proof in the district court. See Marsellus v. Comm’r, 544 F.2d 883, 885 (5th Cir.1977) (); see also MacDonald v.

Id. This proposition from Mazziotti was later reaffirmed in Dodd v. Middlesex Mutual Assurance Co., supra, 242 Conn. 384-85, where the court held that an employer could not be reimbursed for workers’ compensation payments made to an employee from the proceeds of uninsured motorist benefits received by, and payable to, that employee. Furthermore, the overwhelming weight of authority of the jurisdictions that have considered whether under-insured/uninsured motorist benefits are a collateral source have concluded that those benefits fall squarely within that rule. See, e.g., International Sales-Rentals Leasing Co. v. Nearhoof, 263 So. 2d 569, 571 (Fla. 1972) (); Respess v. Carter, 585 So. 2d 987, 988-90 ### Response: holding that joint tortfeasor defendant does not get setoff equal to amount of recovery injured plaintiff receives from carrier of his uninsured motorist coverage " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: have the constitutional right to present a defense, including the right to offer testimony and evidence in their defense. See Chambers v. Mississippi 410 U.S. 284, 302, 93 S.Ct. 1038, 35 L.Ed.2d 297 (1973). However, the review of a state court evidentiary ruling by a federal court on a petition for habeas corpus is limited to a determination of whether the error, if any, was of such magnitude so as to deny Petitioner his right to a fair trial. Futch v. Dugger, 874 F.2d 1483, 1487 (11th Cir.1989) (citation omitted); see also Boykins v. Wainwright, 737 F.2d 1539, 1543 (11th Cir.1984) (stating that generally federal courts reviewing habeas corpus petitions are not empowered to correct erroneous evidence rulings of state trial courts); United States v.

The phrase “agrees in writing,” LINA argues, empowers LINA to decide whether to insure Bowers, and then whether to grant the WOP benefit. This reading of the Life Policy language entirely ignores the context of the phrase. In both instances, the sentences address when a benefit begins, not whether a benefit applies at all. The use of the phrase “in writing” does no more than further emphasize this point. The instances in which a legal consequence is conditioned on the delivery of written notice are legion. To argue that a provision regarding the delivery of written notice implicitly grants discretion contradicts both common sense and basic contract interpretation principles. See Jacobs v. Pickands Mather & Co., 933 F.2d 652, 657 (8th Cir.1991) () (quotations omitted).

Sun Lumber Co., 82 W.Va. 113, 95 S.E. 585 (1918). In the instant case, Valley requests this Court to apply the doctrine of subrogation, presumably pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court’s equity power under 11 U.S.C. § 105 whereby the Court is authorized to “issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title.” However, the powers enumerated in section 105(a) “are not a license for a court to disregard the clear language and meaning of the bankruptcy statutes and rules.” Rouse v.

Because Mr. Grant challenged the arbi-trability of Ms. Rotolante’s claims at the outset of the arbitration proceedings, his motion to vacate was not subject to the three-month statute of limitations under 9 U.S.C. § 12.

Shorebank Dev. Corp., 182 F.3d 548, 558-59 (7th Cir.1999), she does not make that claim. Under these circumstances Rooker-Feld-man applies and divested the district court of jurisdiction. Rooker-Feldman applies for the additional reason that despite Dawaji’s assertions to the contrary, the relief she seeks would require that we nullify the state-court judgment. Dawaji’s request for damages is the amount that she would have received had she not been coerced into accepting the settlement. She thus wants the federal court in effect to negate the state-court order approving the agreed-upon child support, maintenance, and property settlement. Rooker-Feldman cannot be circumvented in this way. See Taylor v. Fed. Nat’l Mortg. Ass’n, 374 F.3d 529, 534 (7th Cir.2004) (); Maple Lanes, Inc. v.

In sum, the fact that these authorities ultimate^ ly disbelieved the defendants and therefore chose not to rely upon them is no evidence of irrationality. Seventh, while the defendants fault the government for failing to explain the specific reasons for disbelieving them, it is Defendants’ burden, not the government’s, to make a “substantial” showing that the departure decision was irrational. Normally the general statement of a prosecutor or law enforcement officer that a defendant was unbelievable or unreliable is a sufficient reason to deny a defense motion to compel the government to file a motion for downward departure.

Applying this standard to facts arising under the pre-1989 law, this Court decided a number of cases addressing the issue of ""who is a person with a disability?” See Benjamin R. v.

Moreover, if for some reason the Court were to hold that Plaintiffs’ claims against U.S. Bank are not time-barred, this would be tantamount to an admission that Plaintiffs’ claims against Pierce & Associates are not time-barred either, requiring immediate remand of this case to state court.

The guardian opined that “with assistance, the parents would be very capable parents.” At the conclusion of the trial, the trial court entered an order terminating the parental rights of the mother and father to all three children. In determining that termination was appropriate, the trial judge focused primarily on the abuse of the infant. The trial judge expressed concern that the parents had suggested their eldest child may be to blame for the injuries to the infant. As to the middle child, the trial judge made no specific findings of fact. There is no question that the abuse of the infant in this case constituted egregious conduct that threatened the life and health of this child. See N.L. v.

In Lewis, the Supreme Court held that a prior state conviction obtained where defendant had been wholly deprived of counsel could form the predicate for a felon-in-possession conviction. Id. at 56, 65, 100 S.Ct. 915. While the defendant in Lewis was convicted under a different statute than Sharpley, the reasoning of Lewis regarding the use of the unrestricted word “conviction” applies with equal force here. Id. at 61-62, 100 S.Ct. 915. To the extent that Sharpley attacks his prior conviction as part of his sentencing proceedings, he can do so only if the prior conviction is constitutionally infirm under the standards of Gideon v. Wainwright, 372 U.S. 335, 83 S.Ct. 792, 9 L.Ed.2d 799 (1963). See Custis, 511 U.S. at 491-92, 496-97, 114 S.Ct. 1732 ().

However, the Court briefly addressed the method by which the State proved the value of the stolen items: [ The defendant] forcibly entered an apartment occupied by three roommates and took property belonging to each. The property was never recovered. At trial, each roommate estimated the value of the items taken. [The defendant] concedes the aggregate value of the property exceeded Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars, the statutory minimum to sustain a conviction of grand larceny.

Lewis v. Hermann, 775 F.Supp. at 1146 (citing Short, 908 F.2d at 1390). This “late discovery” rule seems to have some support in the Seventh Circuit’s most recent discussion of this issue.

The issue was briefed and resolved by the Court’s opinion, and thus was actually litigated. See, e.g., Bush v. Balfour Beatty Bahamas, Ltd., 62 F.3d 1319, 1323 (11th Cir.1995) (). However, the third prong of the collateral ### Response: holding that fully litigated requires both that the issue was effectively raised in the prior action either through pleadings or development of evidence and argument at trial or on motion and that the losing party have had a fair opportunity pro cedurally substantively and evidentially to contest the issue " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: charging Morales contained two counts: a conspiracy count involving one kilogram or more of heroin and a substantive count involving 100 grams or more of heroin. The reference to Section 841(b)(1)(B) clearly informed Morales that the government would seek and the District Court would be required to impose a sentence of at least ten years on the substantive count. Morales contended at sentencing that he went to trial because he believed that the only mandatory minimum the government would seek was the ten years authorized by Section 841(b)(1)(B). This argument has some force because lack of an affirmative obligation to convey information does not necessarily excuse the giving of potentially misleading incomplete information. Cf.

Therefore, the degree of interaction between the parties must be examined to determine jurisdiction. See Dawson, 274 S.W.3d at 178. Here, the contact in question is an individual’s direct use of the internet to commit, allegedly, the torts of libel, defamation, and business disparagement. Thus, as we determine the “degree of interaction” between the' parties in this ease, we also look to other libel and defamation cases that involved the distribution of tor-tious statements to broad audiences to determine whether Wilkerson’s contact with Texas via the internet is sufficient to satisfy the minimum-contacts requirement.

See also Utah Ádmin.Code R37-1-1 to -5 (1994) (administrative rules establishing policies and procedures of Risk Management). We should assume that when the Legislature created Risk Management it did so advisedly, fully aware of the impact this would have on existing law. See Greenhalgh v. Payson City, 530 P.2d 799, 801 (Utah 1975). See also Adkins v. Division of State Lands, 719 P.2d 524, 525-26 (Utah 1986) (). 4 .

As noted above, the “pay when and if paid” clause is part of a settlement agreement between Weststar and Walton under which the parties agreed to settle all existing disputes and lawsuits and continue them existing contractual relationship, except as modified by the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The “pay when and if paid” clause in the Settlement Agreement does not identify any rights that Walton may have under the Miller Act payment bond — or any other bond for that matter— as a predicate for releasing them. Indeed, it is not even framed as a release or waiver of claims. Thus, Walton’s agreement hnson & Sons Inc., 236 F.2d 864, 865 (3d Cir.1956) (); United States ex rel.

Accordingly, this factor weighs in Wong’s favor. 4. Alternative Sanctions A district court should also consider whether there are any sanctions less drastic than a default that are both available and effective. Payne, 439 F.3d at 204-05. Courts have commonly imposed alternative monetary sanctions on attorneys who are responsible for a party’s default. See GNB, Inc. v. Tropex, Inc., 849 F.2d 605, 1988 WL 60618, at *2 (4th Cir.1988) (unpublished table decision) (alternative sanction of attorney’s fees appropriate where attorney is at fault for delay); Lolatchy, 816 F.2d at 953-54 (); Smith v.

Harmon, ¶ 32. This case deals with the “highly contentious” distribution of Helen’s estate, and Helen’s alleged statements are “out-of-court statements made by the testator regarding his or her testamentary intentions.” Harmon, ¶ 37. As such, Helen’s statements to her attorneys do not contain “comparable circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness.” M. R. Evid. 804(b)(5); see Harmon, ¶ 37. The verbal act doctrine does not apply here because the issue is not whether Helen discussed her dispositional intentions with her attorneys—“the existence of statements”—but rather what she told them—“the truth of the matters asserted within [the statements].” Morrow, 236 Mont. at 399, 770 P.2d at 862; see also In re Estate of Mead, 2014 MT 264, ¶¶ 23-24, 376 Mont. 386, 336 P.3d 362 ().

We disagree. The differences in the character and type of crime proven are as important as the spatial and temporal aspects when considering whether multiple punishments are appropriate. An analysis of those differences, as noted by Judge Griffin in her concurring opinion in the defendant’s initial appeal, leads to the conclusion that the defendant’s convictions for attempted sexual battery and lewd and lascivious molestation did not violate his double jeopardy rights.

While it is true that surveying is regulated by statute in North Carolina and that engineers and land surveyors in our State must be licensed, see N.C.G.S. § 89C-23 (2007), these facts alone do not automatically convert a profession into a public service. Further, when a breach of contract between two parties involves only economic loss, as in the present case, the health and safety of the public are not implicated. A third party who might be affected by negligence of an engineer or surveyor can still bring a negligence suit against the engineer or surveyor. See Davidson & Jones, Inc. v.

Nor did the district court err in finding that the Panel did not act with manifest disregard of the law when it applied Hawaii law rather than abiding by the contractual choice-of-law provision. Although parties are generally entitled to select the law which applies to contractual claims, we have expressly determined that tort claims are not governed by a contractual choice-of-law provision.

With respect to the second argument (regarding Aviall’s remedy selection), the court denies summary judgment. Cooper maintains that AvialTs public meeting was “meaningless” because the TNRC had already approved Aviall’s proposed remedy, but the effect of the TNRC’s approval was simply to make the proposed remedy available to Aviall (subject to certain comments and admonitions), and did not dictate that remedy. See P. Apr. 11, 2008 App. 5009-12 (TNRC Letter of Approval). The cases that Cooper cites are distinguishable because implementation of the remedy in those cases began before the public meeting, or because the remedy decision had already been finalized by a consent judgment.

In its reply brief, JRL argues, for the first time, that this phrase applies only to the plaintiff. JRL submitted its first three briefs on this issue — two in support of a pre-trial motion in limine and its opening brief on the instant motion — without citing a case interpreting § 1692k(b)(l), or making the argument that “frequency and persistence of noncompliance” was as to the plaintiff only. See Court’s Doc. Nos. 101 at 7-10; 124 at 2-8; 187 at 4-5. This argument comes too late. A party may not seek a new trial on the basis of a theory not urged before the verdict was rendered.

Harris was notified of his right to file a supplemental brief and responded with a letter reiterating counsel’s arguments. The district court sentenced Harris to a 188 month term of imprisonment to run concurrently on both counts based upon its findings that he distributed a total of 27.6 grams of cocaine base. Harris claims the failure of the district court to treat the drug quantities as an element of the offense to be presented to the jury and proven beyond a reasonable doubt violated Apprendi We find Harris’ reliance on Apprendi is misplaced. Harris’ sentence of 188 months does not exceed the 240 month maximum in § 841(b)(1)(C) for an “identifiable but unspecified quantity” of cocaine base. See United States v.

However, even New-bridge acknowledges that they did not rely on these opinions because they were “unwilling to waive attorney-client and work product protection.” (D.I. 648 at 8, n. 4). Indeed, because of Newbridge’s decision not to rely on these opinions, the Court cannot evaluate whether they were from competent legal counsel or whether they expressed favorable or unfavorable opinions. As the Federal Circuit recognized, “[W]hen an infringer refuses to produce an exculpatory opinion of counsel in response to a charge of willful infringement, an inference may be drawn that either no opinion was obtained or, if an opinion was obtained, it was unfavorable.” Electro Medical Sys., S.A. v.

Superior Court Civil Rule 23(f) states that “[t]he Court of Appeals may in its discretion permit an appeal from an order of the Superior Court granting or denying class action certification under this Rule if application is made to it within ten days after entry of the order.” The intention of this language, we acknowledge, is to authorize this court to permit an appeal of an otherwise non-appealable interlocutory order without the trial judge’s certific 1223 (D.C.1986) () (citing In re C.A.P., 356 A.2d 335, 343 ### Response: holding superior court civil rule 101a1 a nullity for the superior court may not adopt a rule which abridges any substantive right " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and the Trust are, and have always been, identical. Finally, David Smith plays a central role both in this litigation and, more importantly here, in the financial affairs of Lynn Smith and the Trust as a whole. Balancing these factors, it is clear that neither Lynn Smith nor the Trust controlled David Smith for purposes of this analysis. Nevertheless, given the nature of the relationships, the complete identity of interests, and David Smith’s role both in this litigation and as to Lynn Smith and the Trust, the absence of significant control over David Smith is far outweighed by the other factors. Accordingly, any adverse inferences which can be drawn from David Smith’s invocation of his privilege should be applied against Lynn Smith and the Trust.

The court of appeals correctly noted that ### Response: holding that arrest is a technical term possessing a long established history in the common law and it would be inappropriate if jurors arbitrarily applied their personal definitions of arrest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: at 69. Denying the Freedmen the right to vote in tribal elections violates the Thirteenth Amendment and the 1866 Treaty, so the Cherokee Nation cannot claim tribal sovereign immunity against a suit complaining of such a badge and incident of slavery. The district court is mistaken to treat every imposition upon tribal sovereignty as an abrogation of tribal sovereign immunity. Sovereignty and immunity are related, Alden v. Maine, 527 U.S. 706, 715, 119 S.Ct. 2240, 144 L.Ed.2d 636 (1999), the latter being an attribute of the former, P.R. Aqueduct & Sewer Auth., 506 U.S. at 146, 113 S.Ct. 684. But it is possible to cut back sovereignty in a way that leaves sovereign immunity intact. Cf. Kiowa Tribe, 523 U.S. at 755, 118 S.Ct. 1700 (“To say substantive state l 343, 357 (2d Cir.2000) ().

Marich, 542 Pa. 226, 229 n. 6, 666 A.2d 253, 255 n. 6 (1995), a local agency employee has a personal or property right in his employment when he can establish a legitimate expectation of continued employment through either contract or statute. See Short v. Borough of Lawrenceville, 548 Pa. 265, 267, 696 A.2d 1158, 1159 (1997) (per curiam). Parenthetically, it is arguable whether a public official's due process interest extends beyond the economic benefits of the position. See generally Harris v.

The sign code exemptions that pick and choose the speakers entitled to preferential treatment are no less content based than those that select among subjects or messages. Moreover, even insofar as § 27-581 simply allows some types of messages to be displayed in a more prominent manner than others — for example, using flashing lights or moving parts — it constitutes content-based regulation of speech. See Café Erotica of Fla., Inc. v. St. John’s County, 360 F.3d 1274, 1289 (11th Cir.2004) (); Whitton v.

In Pacific Far East, the law was clarified after judgment to show that the bankrupt had paid an erroneously high fee. The court relied on two factors to permit relief in the form of a partial refund. First, the parties could not appeal, so a post-judgment motion was the only means to obtain relief. Second, the judgment from which the movant sought relief had been based on a stipulation by the parties. Thus, the contract law principle of ""mutual mistake” applied. Claimant in this case does not point to a similar legal or equitable reason to grant relief. 5 . One might argue that claimant should have brought this motion when the cases on which $405k relied were decided. Austin v. United States, 509 U.S. 602, 113 S.Ct. 2801, 125 L.Ed.2d 488 (1993) (); United States v.

In this case, we find that evidence, properly admitted at trial, indicating the ease with which blank airline tickets can be filled in to make the tickets appear valid, provided a reasonable basis for the jury to find that the tickets in Wallace’s possession had a value equal to the losses that the airlines usually sustain on stolen tickets. See United States v. Drebin, 557 F.2d 1316, 1331 (9th Cir.1977), cert. denied, 436 U.S. 904, 98 S.Ct. 2232, 56 L.Ed.2d 401 (1978) ().

The record does not contain Smith’s written consent to the student’s representation, and the transcript does not indicate that the trial judge was made aware that a 711 student was participating in the suppression hearing. I would therefore grant Smith a new trial. Respondent Denzel W’s case is more problematic. By failing to address the consent portion of the rule, the court bypasses the more fundamental question of whether the rule even applies to juvenile proceedings. Rule 711 states that eligible students may participate in civil and criminal matters. The rule does not specifically refer to juvenile proceedings, which are neither criminal nor civil proceedings. See In re W.C., 167 Ill. 2d 307, 326 (1995) ().

The defendant there argued that the court erred in “instruct[ing] the jurors that if they found defendant’s blood alcohol level was 0.10 percent or higher they could presume recklessness.” Id. at 12, 671 A.2d 1045. We found that the court “never mentioned a presumption, but merely told the jurors that if they found this level of blood alcohol, it was one factor from which they could infer recklessness. This was proper.” Ibid. Where alcohol is presented as evidence of recklessness, the State must present evidence of the defendant’s BAC at the time of the incident. State v.

The trial court further found that Emeritus had violated pre-trial discovery rules and that the offenses were largely the fault of Emeritus and not defense counsel. Although the record contained no direct evidence that Emeritus had dissipated or transferred assets, given the information that was before the trial court, we cannot conclude that the trial court abused its discretion in determining that a likelihood existed that Emeritus would dissipate or transfer its assets to avoid satisfaction of the judgment.

Defendant further argues that the trial court’s error violated his constitutional rights. Defendant did not raise this constitutional issue at trial; consequently, the trial court did not have the opportunity to consider or rule on this issue. N.C. R. App. P. 10(b)(1).

These subsequent statements suggest that the district court did not find that Flores-Venegas presented a sufficiently extraordinary case to justify a downward departure. The court’s references to the need for legislative action, rather than judicial action, reasonably could be interpreted as referring to the Commission’s decision not to provide a departure for defendants who illegally reenter the country because they have lived most of their lives in the United States. The Commission’s failure to recognize departure on this ground does not, however, prevent the district court from departing on such a ground under unusual circumstances. See Koon v.

But such a consideration would be more appropriately given by the district court when evaluating the sentencing factors, particularly § 3553(a)(6) — the need to avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities. Finally, Panice argues the application of the victim enhancement offends the ex post facto clause. The amendment to U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1 became effective January 25, 2003; Panice’s conduct in the Receiver case occurred from 2001 to 2002. This argument is foreclosed by United States v. Demaree, 459 F.3d 791, 795 (7th Cir.2006) (). See also United States v. Nurek, 578 F.3d ### Response: holding that the application of the guidelines in effect at sentencing rather than at the time of defendants conduct does not violate the ex post facto clause even if the current guidelines suggest a harsher sentence because the guidelines are only advisory not binding " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Court of Appeals that “[t]he parties’ subjective belief as to whether an employment relationship exists is not dispositive of the legal question of whether one is the employer of another, except as such belief indicates an assumption of control by the one and submission by the other.” Here, to paraphrase Whitehead, “the inescapable conclusion is that [Love] voluntarily submitted to [USA Waste’s] control.” We therefore hold that under the workers’ compensation laws of both Maryland and the District of Columbia, USA Waste was Love’s employer and hence was immune from liability to him in tort for his work-related injury.

The statute did not “require” the trial court to consider the future sales price at all, but because it did, the statute required the trial court to consider that price only with evidence of “the necessity and amount of any discount to be applied” to that price “to arrive at a current fair market value.” Tex. Prop Code § 51.008(b)(5). We have often recognized that, for purposes of calculating damages, the amount of any future payment must be discounted to reflect its present-day value.

Strickland, 420 U.S. 308, 320, 95 S.Ct. 992, 43 L.Ed.2d 214 (1975). The Court held that affording absolute immunity to school board members was unwarranted “since it would not sufficiently increase the ability of school officials to exercise their discretion in a forthright manner to warrant the absence of a remedy” for constitutional violations. Wood, 420 U.S. at 320, 95 S.Ct. 992. While Wood dealt with a school board’s discipline of a student, at least one other circuit has extended this holding to deny absolute immunity to school boards’ decisions concerning a faculty member’s employment. See Stewart v. Baldwin County Board of Education, 908 F.2d 1499, 1507-08 (11th Cir.1990) ().

Plaintiff has not produced any evidence that she was denied any benefit to which she was entitled or that she was planning to make a further request for leave from the District. Furthermore, while she was disciplined and subsequently fired, allegedly for exercising her rights under the FMLA, courts in this circuit have consistently held that these types of claims constitute retaliation and not interference.

BIA, 437 F.3d 270, 275-76 (2d Cir.2006) (declining to remand because the Court could “predict with confidence” that the BIA would reach the same conclusion absent the error). Because that affidavit concerned the same claim that the IJ had previously found not credible, the BIA was under no obligation to afford it any probative weight. See Qin Wen Zheng v.

In Jumper the defendant was convicted of misdemeanor vehicular homicide when he went through a red light and caused the death of another motorist. Id., 515 A2d at 540. The Jumper court affirmed the vehicular homicide conviction, stating that [u]nder the homicide by vehicle statute, culpability is to be determined in each given case in light of the particular facts surrounding the Vehicle Code violation on which the homicide by vehicle charge is predicated, and a determination 1390 (D.C.1977) (). 16.

Our Kansas Probate Code expressly provides that, absent certain exceptions, “the property of a resident decedent, who dies intestate, shall at the time of death pass by intestate succession.” K.S.A. 59-502. Later, another statute notes: “In all cases of intestate succession . . . the property shall pass immediately from the decedent to the person entitled to receive it.” (Emphasis added.) K.S.A. 59-509. Several of our Kansas cases reiterate this principle, holding: “By law the whole of an estate vests in the heirs, testate or intestate, at the death of an ancestor.” Peterson v. Peterson, 173 Kan. 636, 640, 251 P.2d 221 (1952); see also In re Estate of Williams, 238 Kan. 651, 659, 714 P.2d 948 (1986); Magaw v. Emick, 167 Kan. 580, 585, 207 P.2d 448 (1949) ().

The difficulty for the Davises was compounded by the fact that no court, so far as I can tell, had ever held that RCRA cases could be brought in state court, and that numerous courts had either held or assumed that jurisdiction was exclusively federal. Nor do we find any report of a RCRA citizen action ever being brought in an Ohio court. The district court’s holding on this matter is at least plausible, but I cannot say that resolution of that question is sufficiently plain under Yellow Freightand Holmes to have put the Davises fairly on notice that they could bring the RCRA allegation in Ohio court.

Consequently, the issuance of a “counseling memorandum” and a “notice of discipline,” without any further evidence regarding a materially adverse effect thereof, is not an adverse employment action as a matter of law. Weeks v. New York State (Div. of Parole), 273 F.3d 76, 86 (2d Cir.2001), abrogated on other grounds by, Nat’l R.R. Passenger Corp. v.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the challenged evidence. In sum, we conclude that appellant’s evi-dentiary challenges are without merit. Even apart from the challenged evidence, substantial independent and undisputedly admissible evidence supported the district court’s findings. And, because this was a bench trial, any prejudice stemming from any erroneously admitted evidence would be minimal. See State v.

The district court granted the motion with regard to the Simmons issue and ordered resentencing. At resentencing, the district court concluded that Austin did not qualify for the enhanced sentence under § 851 or the career offender designation. The court further sustained Austin’s objections to three criminal history points, as calculated in the original PSR, assigned to convictions that were consolidated for sentencing.

We examine the totality of the circumstances to see if the waiver choice was uncoerced and the defendant had a “requisite level of comprehension.” Id. As explained above, Walker was not a novice to criminal matters and was well aware of her rights. Furthermore, her relationship with the officers, as well as them statements about possible leniency if she cooperated, do not affect the voluntariness of her waiver. We have previously held that deceptive tactics may not invalidate an otherwise lawful waiver, and they do not invalidate Walker’s waiver. See Soffar v.

We therefore affirm the district court’s denial of petitioner’s ineffective assistance of counsel claims.

He contends that the hypnotic process itself undermines the ability to reliably test a witness’ veracity on cross-examination because it. hardens the witness’. memories, whether ■ or not such memories are uncertain or false. Because such memories remain unconscious, Mancuso asserts confrontation is impossible. We have previously rejected this argument. The admission of post-hypnotic testimony does not violate the Sixth Amendment right to confrontation, See United States v. Awkard, 597 F.2d 667, 669 (9th Cir.1979) (); United States v.

On the unique facts of this case, we conclude that Petitioners have the stronger argument, because Decedent owned interests at the time of the lease other than the life estate she acquired as a result of the 1969 family settlement agreement.

The court nevertheless concludes that this is the most appropriate reading of the regulation, and that this overlap is preferable to creating a separate set of disclosure duties that ERISA fiduciaries would have to consider in the 404(c) context in addition to the disclosure duties already established by the case law interpreting ERISA’s fiduciary obligations.

Thus, the cryptic reference to the common law in Malley’s footnote 7 would appear to preclude judicial action as a superseding cause only in the situation in which the information, submitted to the judge, was deceptive. Egervary also cites case law from other circuits to argue that, because each of the defendants allegedly participated in one way or another in making representations to the District Judge prior to the execution of the Order, all of the defendants should be held liable for the subsequent deprivation of his rights. These cited cases, however, are not inconsistent with the conclusion we reach above. The cited cases include Zahrey v. Coffey, 221 F.3d 342, 353-54 (2d Cir.2000) (); Warner v.

Judge Putnam alleges no purpose for his lunches, other than his own subsistence, and we can not see how these expenditures aided the development or business of the federal district courts. The federal courts did not dictate the location, duration or content of Judge Putnam’s midday meals. See Christey v. United States, 841 F.2d 809 (8th Cir.1988), cert. denied, 489 U.S. 1016, 109 S.Ct. 1131, 103 L.Ed.2d 193 (1989) ().

As a limited tort plaintiff, appellant herein did not have a valid cause of action, and the statute of limitations period did not begin to run, until she knew or reasonably should have known that she sustained a “serious injury.” The MVFRL defines a serious injury as “[a] personal injury resulting in death, serious impairment of body function or permanent serious disfigurement.” 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 1702. When the accident in this case first occurred, appellant sustained injuries to her face and jaw that appeared to result in only minor bruises and contusions. Consistent with recent caselaw, these injuries would not rise to the level of a serious injury. See, e.g., Dodson v. Elvey, 445 Pa.Super. 479, 483-84, 665 A.2d 1223, 1225 (1995) (), alloc. granted, 544 Pa. 608, 674 A.2d 1072 ### Response: holding that bruising and soft tissue injury even accompanied by residual pain does not rise to the level of a serious injury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: very terms of the lease, therefore, notification is accomplished once an appropriate writing is addressed and deposited in the mail as specified; neither receipt nor proof of receipt are required.”). Defendants argue that the phrase “five (5) days after notice” contained in section 24.1 of the lease is ambiguous, and therefore must be construed in favor of CLT and Flamer’s. Defendants assert that the phrase should be construed as “business days,” and that CLT’s 9 July 1999 payment timely cured the default within five business days. We disagree, and affirm the trial court’s entry of judgment and order of ejectment. Where the language of a contract is clear, the contract must be interpreted as written. Howard v.

While admitting that he believed that he was distributing child pornography to minors, Wainwright argues on appeal that his offense level could only be enhanced under § 2G2.2(b)(2)(C) if the recipients were, in fact, under the age of eighteen. Wainwright claims that there was no evidence in the record that the individuals to whom he distributed child pornography were actually minors, as opposed to individuals posing as minors. Wainwright further contends that the district court appears to have relied on the first application note to § 2G2.2 to expand the definition of “minors” to individuals who were over eighteen by including those who the defendant believed were minors.

The State contends the statements at issue were properly admitted under Rule 803(3) to demonstrate Weeks’ “existing state of mind and emotional condition” during the robbery. However, the statements by Weeks were made several days after the robbery, and therefore do not reflect Weeks’ “then-existing” state of mind during the robbery. Rather, the statements were simply a recital of Weeks’ memory of the events that took place and his emotional condition at the time. As such, they were not admissible under Rule 803(3). See N.C. Gen. Stat. § 803(3) (excluding statements of memory or belief to prove the fact remembered or believed); In re Hayden, 96 N.C. App. 77, 81-82, 384 S.E.2d 558, 561 (1989) ().

Even taken together, these allegations are insufficient to excuse demand. The fact that an adviser was responsible for selecting board members is an insufficient basis for establishing lack of independence or disinterestedness. See Verkouteren v. Blackrock Fin.

As Dr. Coffman put it, “for two months at least [Ashley] was beaten while in [Mother’s] care, that she continued to leave the child in harm’s way, and the child ended up dying a very painful death” due to Mother’s knowing failure to protect her. Our review of the record reveals sufficient evidence to uphold the juvenile court’s best interest finding. See Kent K v. Bobby M., 210 Ariz. 279, 288, ¶ 42, 110 P.3d 1013, 1022 (2005) ().

As we noted above, it is not clear from the record whether the amendment passed by the City Council differs from the Planning Commission’s recommendation. For the purposes of appeal from summary judgment only, we assume that the facts are as Gardner argues. 5 . We note that a city council’s statutory authority to amend a planning commission's proposal is not unbounded: the council’s amendments must not result in a land use decision that is arbitrary and capricious, see Utah Code Ann. § 10 — 9— 1001(3)(b) (1999); Springville Citizens, 979 P.2d at 336, and the public must have sufficient notice of the amendment contemplated.

Before this country’s highest court issued its opinion in Blakely, the Sentencing Reform Act of 1981 (SRA), chapter 9.94ARCW, permitted a judge to impose a sentence above the standard range guideline on the basis of facts neither admitted by the defendant nor found by the jury. The Blakely Court held: “ ‘Other than the fact of a prior conviction, any fact that increases the penalty for a crime beyond the prescribed statutory maximum must be submitted to a jury, and proved beyond a reasonable doubt.’ ” 124 S.

Thus, it is entirely consistent with our current law and creates no disincentive to remarriage, a concern in states where remarriage results automatically in the termination of maintenance.

Wal-Mart has clearly demonstrated that the requested examination would produce relevant information. The medical cause of White’s discomfort is the central focus of the litigation below. The results of an examination would tend to make it either more probable or less probable that the alleged cause of White’s discomfort — battery acid — is in fact the actual cause of the discomfort.

Appellant contends that the instruction given by the trial court failed to focus on his theory of defense — that he was merely present in the house and did not “possess” the contraband. We disagree and hold that the given instructions adequately addressed appellant’s theory of the case. In instructing the jury, the court essentially utilized the Maryland Criminal Pattern Jury Instructions. See MCPJI 4:24. “[GJenerally, the pattern jury instructions suffice and trial judges usually may rely on them.” Bayne v. State, 98 Md.App. 149, 160, 632 A.2d 476 (1993).

When evaluating the adequacy of an EIS, the court must determine whether the EIS contains “a reasonably thorough discussion of the significant aspects of the probable environmental consequences.” See Neighbors of Cuddy Mountain v.

Wilson’s claims were subsequently dismissed by a federal magistrate judge after the parties consented to the magistrate’s jurisdiction.

The Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars state-court losers from seeking what would be, in substance, appellate review of state-court judgments in federal district court based on claims that the state-court judgment violated the losing parties’ federal rights. See Brown v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 611 F.3d 1324, 1330 (11th Cir.2010); see also Casale v. Tillman, 558 F.3d 1258, 1260 (11th Cir.2009) ().

Accordingly, neither Brown- nor Conjour are binding on this Court. We do, however, find the Brown analysis persuasive. As noted by the trial court, a number of United States district court opinions emanating from the Third Circuit have cited Brown or its progeny for the proposition that the allegedly stigmatizing statements must go beyond allegations of improper or inadequate performance, incompetence, neglect of duty, or malfeasance. This proposition is also long-standing precedent in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, see, e.g., Mercer, 308 F.3d at 845 (), and the United States Court of Appeals for ### Response: holding that comments eoncerning exemployees ability to perform job could not be construed to suggest stigmatizing traits " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: motion to suppress didn’t raise that issue.” Snowden clearly did not raise this issue in his written motion.

In response to a question by the court during his closing argument, Snowden contended that the use of “excessive force” — by which he meant drawn weapons — turned any legitimate Terry stop into a full arrest requiring probable cause. To the extent that Snowden’s argument is preserved for our review, it is unavailing. When police officers reasonably believe they are dealing with a person about to engage in a substantial drug transaction, they may use the degree of restraint necessary for their own control and safety.

Appellant was sentenced to thirty years in prison with a twenty-five year minimum mandatory sentence. He was also sentenced to a consecutive period of ten years of probation. , Appellant argues that once the trial court imposed the minimum mandatory sentence of twenty-five years under section 775.087, the total sentence could not exceed thirty years, which is the statutory maximum sentence for first-degree felonies under section 775.082(3)(b), Florida Statutes (2006). Appellant, therefore, contends that the probationary sentence should be stricken. Appellant is correct, and the State concedes the sentencing error, acknowledging that the probationary term should be stricken. See Wooden v.

Staftex argues that by dividing Loredo’s earnings by twenty-seven, which the district court did to account for Lore-do’s twenty-five weeks on disability, the ALJ violated 33 U.S.C. § 910(d). This argument is without merit. Although section 910(d) states that the ALJ should divide annual earnings by fifty-two, the Board has frequently held that, when calculating annual earnings, an ALJ may account for time lost due to a claimant’s job-related injury. See, e.g., Brien v. Precision Valve, 23 BRBS 209 (1990); see also Hawthorne v. Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, U.S. Dept. of Labor, 844 F.2d 318, 320 (6th Cir.l988)().

NTA contends that the moratorium was imposed in direct response to its application, and that the Town therefore discriminated. Affidavits provided by the Town, however, support its claim that the moratorium was not aimed specifically at NTA. Moreover, the record contains no evidence that the Town has treated other applicants more favorably. As noted above, a valid basis existed for the moratorium. Additionally, the record reflects no “ill will” either towards NTA or towards the telecommunications industry, in general. See AT & T Wireless PCS, Inc. v.

See id. at 1298, 1311 (concluding the defendant had placed his intent at issue by pleading not guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine). Scanes’s prior conviction for possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine was probative of his state of mind in this case. Aside from the prior conviction, the only evidence of knowledge and intent presented by the government was the presence and amount of drugs found in the car Scanes was driving. Absent other evidence of Scanes’s state of mind, the prosecutorial need for the evidence was high. See United States v. Richardson, 764 F.2d 1514, 1523 (11th Cir.1985) ().

Id. at 526. 8 Because of the waiver, we do not view as controlling the intimation in Clancy, supra at 667, that, when the purpose of a hospitalization requires disclosure of a diagnosis, “the purpose is within the privilege” and therefore not admissible. Reference to specific diagnostic terms cataloged in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) would, in most instances, not fall under the privilege.

Figueroa, an unpublished opinion appearing at 2000 WL 963346 (10th Cir.2000) which predated Crawford, we spoke as follows: FN5. Figueroa suggests in his brief that the warrant of deportation or removal which stated that an INS agent had witnessed the deportation in 1997 was not sufficient evidence that he had been deported in 1997. Other courts have found that this warrant is admissible in trial as proof that a defendant was arrested and deported. See United States v. Quezada, 754 F.2d 1190, 1193-94 (5th Cir.1985) (); United States v.

Second, Alabama’s refusal to afford Arthur access to a telephone will impede his pursuit of that Eighth Amendment claim. The refusal is an “imminent official interference” with Arthur’s right of access to the courts. See Lewis, 518 U.S. at 349, 116 S.Ct. at 2179. Arthur will have no access to the courts—much less meaningful access— if Alabama bars “telephonic access to the courts,” then straps him to a gurney and begins to subject him to a cruel and unusual execution process. See McGehee, slip op. at 58-59, 2017 WL 1381663 ().

We must, therefore, assess Detective Lockwood’s conduct in light of his actual testimony. As far as the record indicates, Detective Lockwood seized Defendant on the basis of three observed facts: 1) Defendant’s proximity to an area being investigated for gang activity; 2) Defendant’s refusal to “hold up” when told to do so; and 3) Defendant’s rapid flight from his encounter with Detective Lockwood. With respect to the first of these observed facts, we hold that an individual’s proximity to an area being investigated for gang activity is not sufficient, without more, to justify an investigatory stop. See Brown v. Texas, 443 U.S. 47, 52, 99 S.Ct. 2637, 61 L.Ed.2d 357 (1979) (); State v.

For the following reasons, I would hold that it did not. According to settled principles, a third party, with standing to do so, may validly consent to the search of a closed container, even though the actual owner of the container has a heightened expectation of privacy in its contents. See, e.g., Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731, 740, 89 S.Ct. 1420, 1425, 22 L.Ed.2d 684 (1969) (cousin had authority to consent to search of the defendant’s duffel bag, wMch both men used and wMch had been left in the cousin’s home); United States v.

The instant matter, as well, involves a provision essential to the management of the Welfare Fund and the Pension Fund to ensure the employers are contributing in accordance with their obligations. Because the Welfare Fund and the Pension Fund are dependant upon participant contributions, the collection power attributed to the Trustees of the Funds is essential to the Funds management and viability.

No. 60-A3.) This sentence does not support a construction that the term “exclusive” places an affirmative duty on the Defendants to protect the Plaintiffs from third-party infringement. Moreover, aside from the term “exclusive,” the agreements are entirely devoid of any indication that the Defendants assumed the affirmative duty to protect the Plaintiffs from third-party infringement. In the alternative, the Plaintiffs argue that the term “exclusive” is ambiguous, and the Court should therefore consider parol evidence to clarify its meaning. However, a term is not ambiguous where the ambiguity arises only after a court considers potential inconsistencies between contract terms and extrinsic evidence. Lambert, 680 So.2d at 590 (). “The court must give full force to the plain ### Response: holding that the trial court impermissibly created ambiguity by comparing the contracts to extrinsic evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: display in altered form. “The act complained of’ for the purposes of § 14.03(4)(b) is thus the display of the altered sculpture, not the isolated, onetime act of dismantling in 1988. The acts prohibited, therefore, have occurred continually since 1988, and a new cause of action has, in effect, accrued each day, with the three-year limitations period beginning to run each day that the piece has been displayed. In this regard, the limitations provision operates much like the New York common laws doctrine that continuous or recurring wrongs, such as nuisance or trespass, continually give rise to new causes of action. See, e.g., Rinaldi v. Viking Penguin, Inc., 52 N.Y.2d 422, 438 N.Y.S.2d 496, 420 N.E.2d 377 (1981); cf. Mount v. Book-of-the-Month Club, Inc., 555 F.2d 1108 (2d Cir.1977) ().

Given the divers possibilities that attend this situation, we are uncertain what procedural course the state trial court would take if asked to rule on the competence claim. That uncertainty dooms the procedural default defense. Id. at 213. Of course, our double-barreled conclusion that the Commonwealth waived its nonexhaustion defense and that it cannot mount a successful procedural default defense does not compel us to adjudicate the competence claim on the merits. A federal court may choose, in its sound discretion, to reject a state’s waiver of either nonexhaustion or procedural default. See Granberry, 481 U.S. at 134-35, 107 S.Ct. 1671; Earhart v. Johnson, 132 F.3d 1062, 1065 (5th Cir.1998); cf. Oakes v. United States, 400 F.3d 92, 97 (1st Cir.2005) ().

The parties did not brief the issue of whether the “intercepting equipment” used by Mother qualifies for the Extension Phone Exemption, leading the Court to believe it is undisputed that this element of the Extension Phone Exemption is met. Nonetheless, the Court will briefly address it. Father alleges that Mother “set up a recording device on her own telephone arid intercepted the conversations.” (Comply 16.) The Tenth Circuit has held that a recording device attached to a home telephone extension, such as that alleged in this case, qualifies for the Extension Phone Exemption because it is the telephone receiver, and not the recording device, that constitutes the intercepting mechanism. See United States v. Harpel 91 (E.D.Ark.1998) ().

As Springdale School District, supra, indicates, placement in a state school for the blind or deaf may be contrary to the “mainstreaming” requirement of the EAHCA. It all depends on the individual child. Nonetheless, the state, having accepted the funds of the federal government and acceded to the administrative and appellate scheme of the EAHCA, has an overriding duty to provide an appropriate IEP for every handicapped child capable of benefiting from one. This overriding obligation may require that some children be placed at KSB, who do not meet its criteria, if such placement is the only way an appropriate IEP can be designed for them. See Doe v. Maher, 793 F.2d 1470, 1491-92 (9th Cir.1986) (), aff'd sub nom.

It would be hard for a city council to conduct its business without a similar structure. Even if the public input portion is analyzed on its own, the Court cannot reasonably conclude that the Governing Body has intentionally elevated it to the level of a traditional public forum. The Governing Body has not left open a courtyard to public protest or opened a university classroom to all comers on a fírst-come-fírst-served basis. See Widmar v.

I do not doubt the majority’s suggestion that the trial court probably would have granted a motion to consolidate this action with Integrity’s action. But no rule of law required Keeley & Associates, Inc., to file suit or risk losing its claim. The effect of the majority’s expansion of the rule of claim preclusion embodied in Civ.R. 13(A) to bind nonparties essentially creates a procedural rule of “compulsory intervention.” Such a rule is not contemplated by the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure and contravenes Civ.R. 13 and possibly Civ.R. 24. “[I]t appears that the traditional view is that a defendant may counterclaim only in the capacity in which he has been sued.” Banco Nacional de Cuba v.

Defendant Cox: Excessive Force Plaintiff claims that Cox injured her during the course of placing handcuffs on her.

Appellants contend that both removing parties and their lawyers are liable, while appel-lees assert that only removing parties are liable. As of yet, no circuit court has confronted this issue, and the district courts that have addressed it are badly divided. Compare Creek Ventures, LLC v.

Accordingly, for the purposes of the motion to dismiss, Brown has established that her speech was protected by the First Amendment. 2.

Accordingly, the court turns directly to the dispositive question: whether the plaintiff produced sufficient evidence for a reasonable factfinder to conclude that the defendant’s asserted non-retaliatory reason was not the actual reason and that the employer intentionally retaliated against the employee. See Brady, 520 F.3d at 494; Laurent, 544 F.Supp.2d at 22 n. 3 (concluding that the defendant’s articulation of a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the plaintiffs termination also rendered an examination of the prima facie case of retaliation unnecessary). At a minimum, the plaintiff must offer some evidence of a causal relationship between his involvement in protected activity and his nonselection. See Cooke v. Rosenker, 601 F.Supp.2d 64, 79 (D.D.C.2009) (); see also Reeves v.

These factors are listed in Section 6355(a)(4)(iii)(A) and address the issue of when a defendant is amenable to the juvenile system. The Juvenile Act also provides that in determining whether a juvenile’s case should be transferred from juvenile court for a criminal proceeding, the factors set forth in Section 6355(a)(4)(iii)(A) are to be applied. Applying the rules of statutory construction found in the Statutory Construction Act, we find that it was the legislature’s intent that the trial court would also utilize the factors set forth in Section 6355(a)(4)(iii)(A) in determining whether a juvenile is amenable to the juvenile system prior to sentencing. See In re Pittsburgh Beer Corp., 216 Pa.Super. 71, 260 A.2d 493 (1969) ().

The ADA itself does not define the term “major life activities,” and the few available judicial precedents reveal divergent opinions. Compare Pacourek v. Inland Steel Co., 916 F.Supp. 797, 804 (N.D.Ill.1996) (finding that reproduction is a major life activity) and Erickson v. Board of Govs, of State Colleges, 911 F.Supp. 316, 323 (N.D.Ill.1995) (same) and Cain v. Hyatt, 734 F.Supp. 671, 679 (E.D.Pa. 1990) (same) with Krauel v. Iowa Methodist Med.

FedEx maintains it cannot unilaterally terminate its relationship with Plaintiffs; rather, FedEx can only terminate the OA without the contractor’s consent in limited circumstances, such as if the contractor breaches the terms of the agreement. (OA, ¶¶ 3(a), (b), 12.1, 12.3). Further, if a contractor disputes his termination, the OA provides that the dispute can be submitted to arbitration. (OA, ¶¶ 12.1, 12.3) FedEx observes that Missouri courts have found that less restrictive termination provisions favor independent contractor status. (Consol. Opp., p. 30, citing Kirksville Pub’g Co. v. Div. of Emp’t Sec., 950 S.W.2d 891, 899 (Mo.Ct.App.1997) ()).

Gonzalez was stopped at a border checkpoint at Bridge 2 in Laredo, Texas, when she entered the United States from Mexico driving a van. A border patrol officer referred her to the secondary inspection area, because Gonzalez appeared nervous and had glanced toward the ceiling of the van. In the secondary inspection area, a canine alerted to all four corners of the roof. An x-ray revealed an anomaly in the roof of the van. An officer drilled into the roof and discovered forty packages of cocaine having a total weight of forty-eight kilograms, hidden in a very sophisticated manner in a compartment in the top rear portion of the roof. Incorrect jury instructions are generally not considered structural errors. Hedgpeth v. Pulido, — U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 530, 532, — L.Ed.2d-(2008) ().

Under this record and based upon the jury findings, I would affirm and reform the judgment to $410,830 being the damages occasioned by the failure to pay. Since the majority holds otherwise, I respectfully dissent. 1 . The majority also says: “We defer all changes in this common law rule to our Texas Supreme Court.” (citing Hancock v. Express One International, Inc., 800 S.W.2d 634 (Tex.App.—Dallas 1990, writ requested)). This court has not relied upon that maxim to avoid its responsibility in the past. See e.g. Hauck v.

Based on this analysis, the Court concludes that the Trustee’s claims to recover principal for constructive fraudulent conveyance under NYDCL §§ 273, 274 and 275 must fail. In her papers and at the Hearing, the Trustee has made clear that she does not dispute that the Defendants provided “fair equivalent” value under the NYDCL in exchange for the repayment of principal because such repayment extinguished a common law claim, such as restitution, that the Defendants may have had against Dreier LLP. Courts have recognized that reduction of a restitution claim satisfies an antecedent debt in the context of a fraudulent scheme. See Jobin v. McKay (In re M & L Bus. Mach. Co., Inc.), 84 F.3d 1330, 1342 (10th Cir.1996) (); Wyle v. C.H.

The courts found that the primary duty of the companies (a cab company and ski resort) did not extend to the preservation of their customers’ financial interests following an injury and therefore they did not have a duty to preserve evidence for potential lawsuits. Id. Applying these examples, the court in Elias determined that the hospital’s primary responsibility is dispensing healthcare and that requiring it to preserve all evidence for potential products liability suits would present too great a burden on its primary purpose. Id. A “fairness” analysis was utilized and the court considered the third-party’s “primary purpose” to determine whether a general dut . 206, 734 P.2d 1177 (1987) (); Coley v. Arnot Ogden Mem.

A fee-shifting provision is distinguishable from a sanction. See Chambers v.

But, even fee-shifting is not necessarily the automatic consequence of loss. See, e.g., Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2412 (West 2012) (permitting fee shifting only where the government fails to prove that its position was not ""substantially justified”); Christiansburg Garment Co. v.

At the administrative hearing Plaintiff testified that he has been unable to obtain treatment consistently because he lacks insurance or other means to pay for such. (Tr. 215-20). Plaintiff also reported that one of the reasons he has often not sought treatment was because he “don’t want to” and that he only recently “accepted” that he suffers from manic depression. (Tr. 214, 220). These latter statements by Plaintiff are significant given that one of the symptoms of bi-polar disorder is that the sufferer often fails to discern or acknowledge the existence of the illness and, therefore, declines or fails to recognize the need for treatment.

The court determined that this case was an appropriate case. Further, the district court determined, based on what occurs in statutory adoptions, that if an adoptive father is obligated to support a child, it follows that the biological father should be relieved of that duty. {31} No New Mexico case has addressed whether the doctrine of equitable adoption can be a ().

Instead, these courts merely refer to an “expense” or “expenditure” in the context of a general discussion about the requirements of § 506(c). In addition, ... the Eighth Circuit[ ] has rejected the argument that because a debt was merely incurred, rather than an expenditure paid, § 506(c) does not permit the secured creditor to be surcharged. See IRS v. Boatmen’s First Nat’l Bank, 5 F.3d 1157, 1160 (8th Cir.1993) ().

As any competent attorney is aware, access to the courts is not an end in itself but only one means to achieve satisfaction for a client. If this can be obtained without resort to the courts—even without the filing of a lawsuit—it is incumbent upon the attorney to pursue such a course of action first. (See ABA Code of Prof. Ethics, canon 15; Cal. State Bar, Rules Prof. Conduct, rule 6-101(2).) It is equally well established legal practice to communicate promptly with a potential adversary, setting out the claims made upon him, urging settlement, and warning of the alternative of judicial action.

But even if the 9/15/03 order denying confirmation of the plan was not final at the time it was issued, the parties assert that the order became final after October 27, 2003, when the bankruptcy court entered its order dismissing the case.

The Illinois court held that the loss caused by the fraudulent mortgage was covered, stating that “[njotwithstanding that the policy ... insured [the situation] where the title was vested otherwise than as stated in schedule A ..., the1 policy also covered loss or damage resulting from the invalidity or unenforce-ability of the mortgage lien.” Id., 132 Ill.

In his pro se brief, Jimenez-Carrillo contends that his prior convictions under California Health and Safety Code Section 11377(a) and California Penal Code Section 273a were not aggravated felony convictions for purposes of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b). Subsequent to Jimenez-Carrillo’s sentencing, the Supreme Court decided Lopez v. Gonzales, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 625, 633, 166 L.Ed.2d 462 (2006), in which it held that “a state offense constitutes a ‘felony punishable under the Controlled Substances Act’ only if it proscribes conduct punishable as a felony under that federal law.” Because Section 11377(a) does not qualify as a drug trafficking offense under Lopez, we vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.

Biscayne retook the vacated premises, made good faith efforts to re-let on JPAY’s behalf, and deducted what it got from a partial sublet from JPAY’s unpaid rents due up to the date of the JPAY I final judgment. Its actions belie an intent to accelerate. RES JUDICATA ISSUE JPAY I is not res judicata as to JPAY II. Under the doctrine of res judica-ta, a final judgment or decree on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction constitutes an absolute bar to a subsequent suit on the same cause of action and is conclusive of all issues which were rais (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) ().

In contrast, neither Byars nor the Coca-Cola Defendants sought summary judgment on the issue of Byars’ entitlement to benefits under the “any occupation” definition. Thus, the district court granted summary judgment to the Coca-Cola Defendants on a claim for which they had not sought summary judgment. Although a court may sua sponte grant summary judgment on a claim not presented in a summary judgment motion, the court is required to give notice to the parties that it intends to address the claim on summary judgment. Here, the district court provided no notice that it intended to rule on the “any occupation” definition of disability. This was error. See Imaging Bus. Machs., LLC v.

See Household Int’l, 286 F.Supp.2d at 378. We therefore conclude that the Supreme Court of Illinois would not recognize Policyholders’ tacit misrepresentation theory. We reach the same conclusion with respect to Policyholders’ fraud claims under New Jersey law. Our research does not disclose any New Jersey case permitting the theory advanced by Policyholders. In the absence of a specific request for the type of coverage excluded by the FIE, we do not believe that the New Jersey Supreme Court would hold that an insurer’s failure to notify an insured that it was not covering all of their business functions would constitute a representation that it was in fact covering all of their business functions.

Defendant was never given the opportunity to deliver his statement to the jury. B. The Court correctly holds that counsel’s failure to fulfill her responsibility to fully inform defendant of his right to allocution, and failure to discuss with defendant the pros and cons of exercising the right as well as the particular purpose and limits of an allocution statement, was deficient. See ante at 278, 736 A.2d at 493. The Court’s conclusion that defendant was not prejudiced as a result, however, is founded on several crucial analytical errors. As an initial matter, it is worth noting that the Court vacillates between holding that defendant’s allocution would not have “sub stantially affected” and would not have “substantially altered” the jury deliberations.

The Attempted Monopolization Claim In addition to the conspiracy claims, West Penn alleges that UPMC violated section 2 of the Sherman Act by attempting to monopolize the Allegheny County market for specialized hospital services. The elements of attempted monopolization are (1) that the defendant has a specific intent to monopolize, and (2) that the defendant has engaged in anticompetitive conduct that, taken as a whole, creates (3) a dangerous probability of achieving monopoly power.

This gun was not seized in an indiscriminate manner, but with ample reason to believe that, in these circumstances, it was of the same ilk as the other weapons discovered in the Division Street arsenal. Furthermore, our review of the pertinent facts compels the conclusion that the district court did not err in finding that the other unspecified items were also properly seized. For example, the gas and electric bill, the refund notice, and the operator’s license constitute evidence linking Wardrick to the premises where the illegal firearms were found. See Warden v. Hayden, 387 U.S. 294, 87 S.Ct. 1642, 18 L.Ed.2d 782 (1967); see also United States v. Williams, 623 F.2d 535 (8th Cir.1980) ().

Although the trial court did give the exemption a narrow interpretation, the trial court's interpretation brings RCW 42.17.310(1)(j) into conflict with our court rules establishing the work product rule. The protection of the work product rule is triggered prior to the official initiation of litigation and extends beyond the official termination of litigation. See Heidebrink v. Moriwaki, 104 Wn.2d 392, 400, 706 P.2d 212 (1985) (explaining that the work product rule attaches to documents prepared prior to trial when the specific parties involved have expectations that litigation will occur); Pappas v.

Id., 331 N.C. at 41, 413 S.E.2d at 788. According to the Supreme Court, this holding rested “on the proposition that the presumption of innocence continues with the defendant after his acquittal and so erodes the probative value of the evidence of the previous crime that it is more prejudicial than probative, making it inadmissible under N.C.G.S. § 8C-1; Rule 403.” State v. Lynch, 337 N.C. 415, 419, 445 S.E.2d 581, 582 (1994). Although the principle set forth in Scott would not operate to bar the presentation of evidence that Defendant possessed cocaine and digital scales on 10 February 2005 given Defendant’s subsequent conviction for possession of cocaine with the intent to sell and deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia, See Stager, 329 N.C. at 303, 406 S.E.2d at 890 (), it does operate the bar the presentation of ### Response: holding that a prior conviction may be a bad act for purposes of rule 404b if substantial evidence supports a finding that defendant committed both acts and the probative value is not limited solely to tending to establish the defendants propensity to commit a crime such as the crime charged " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: process of discovery in the lawsuit. In other words, Stroud appears to believe that the statute of limitations merely requires him to litigate his claims to completion within two years of receiving discovery materials that he believes prove his claim. The Court understands that Stroud is proceeding pro se and therefore may be entirely sincere in this misapprehension. It is nonetheless still a misapprehension. A statute of limitations limits the time for bringing a civil lawsuit based on the date when the claim accrued, which, in this case, is the date Stroud discovered — meaning realized — that he had reasonable grounds to believe he had a cause of action. BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY 1451 (8th ed.2004); see also Cintron-Luna v. Roman-Bultron, 668 F.Supp.2d 315, 320 (D.Puerto Rico 2009) ().

To make this determination, we will consider all the evidence presented at trial and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the jury’s verdict. United States v. Perez, 661 F.3d 568, 574 (11th Cir.2011). We have defined “commercial advantage” as “a profit or gain in money obtained through business activity” and “private financial gain” as “an additional profit specifically for a particular person or group.” United States v. Zheng, 306 F.3d 1080, 1086 (11th Cir.2002). No evidence of actual payment or of an agreement for defendant to be paid is needed; evidence that the defendant acted for the purpose of financial gain is sufficient. See United States v.

Pub.L. No. 111-31, § 2(46). This finding notwithstanding, an exercise of statutory interpretation yields the conclusion that § 331(tt)(4) is not intended to encompass non-commercial speech. In § 331(tt)(4), the phrase “through the media,” which is the only phrase that could conceivably encompass non-commercial speech, follows directly after the terms “label or labeling” and immediately precedes the term “[through] advertising.” Each of these terms is modified by the phrase “directed to consumers with respect to a tobacco product.” See Stevens, 130 S.Ct. at 1588 () (internal quotation marks omitted).

(Id. at 16.) Smith also sought to impress upon the jurors’ minds that various nicknames associated with drug dealers had been improperly attributed to Michel. (Id. at 13.) In short, Judge Crigler observed, “the trial transcript makes clear that many of Michel’s claims about how Smith represented him during trial are patently false.” (Id. at 16.) Judge Crigler also took a step back from the specific, substantive details of Michel’s testimony and observed generally that Michel’s “demeanor and conduct while testifying” lent further weight to a finding of incredibility.

The resulting inference imparted to the jury is: because the defendant is a drug addict he has the general intent to steal, and because drug addicts steal, it is safe to conclude that this particular drug addict is the unknown culprit in this case. Such reasoning allows the impermissible inference of propensity that the rules of evidence are designed to prevent. Our decision in Kim, as well as cases from other states, reveals that when courts have allowed a prior bad act to be introduced to prove motive, the prosecution actually presented sufficient alternate evidence to establish the defendant’s identity as the perpetrator.

Appellant presently retains parental rights to another child. 3 . The abatement doctrine, as applied in criminal cases, implicates a number of policy concerns. Although the doctrine was historically based on the view that criminal convictions serve a purely punitive function, modern views have shifted to a broader view of the criminal justice system.

Creditor Roger Virtue still has leave to file an amended complaint subject to the restrictions imposed by the bankruptcy court, and any legal errors affecting the parties’ claims can be appealed after the conclusion of the adversary proceeding. See WMX Techs., Inc. v. Miller, 104 F.3d 1133, 1136 (9th Cir.1997) (en banc) (dismissal of a complaint with leave to amend is not a final, appealable order). Further, the collateral order doctrine does not apply here because no final decision has been made regarding the Chapter 11 Trustee’s claim to immunity from Virtue’s potential amended claims. See Mueller v. Auker, 576 F.3d 979, 987 (9th Cir.2009); cf. Curry v. Castillo (In Re Castillo), 297 F.3d 940, 946 (9th Cir.2002) ().

More recently, however, we issued an order denying the remainder of the Bureau of Prisons’ motion for summary affirmance. In addition, we sua sponte reversed the district court’s judgment as it related to Powell’s Privacy Act claims and remanded the case for further consideration. See Powell v.

Within the thirty-day period prescribed by § 1446(b), a defendant may freely amend its notice of removal. And the majority of courts have recognized — at least in more recent times — that even after expiration of this thirty-day period, a defendant may still be allowed to amend its removal petition in order to cure defective allegations of jurisdiction. See, e.g., D.J. McDuffie, Inc. v. Old Reliable Fire Ins. Co., 608 F.2d 145, 146 (5th Cir.1979) ().

However, the SEC rightly points out that Rule 14e-3, the supplementary rule Avent is charged with violating in Claim Two, was adopted after Smallwood was decided.

Plaintiffs offer two rejoinders. First, they contend that the NIST Study is not “compiled for a law enforcement purpose” because “[i]t is not connected to an investigation.” Pis.’ Mot. at 4. That argument misconstrues the law. The Court of Appeals consistently has held that records do not have to be linked to a specific investigation to be properly withheld under Exemption 7(E). For instance, in Tax Analysts v. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the court held that IRS materials related to law enforcement activities “outside of the context of a specific investigation” met the threshold for materials “compiled for law enforcement purposes” under Exemption 7(E). See 294 F.3d 71, 73, 78-79 (D.C. Cir. 2002). In so holding, it observed that 2, 146-48 (D.D.C. 2012) (); Miller v.

Even though Mr. Stoker indicated that the adjuster’s review of the recordings was reviewed in the course of investigating Requester’s property damage claim, were related to and, indeed, part of the noncriminal investigation such that they constituted investigative materials.

The purpose of this restriction is to prevent litigants from using a damages claim as a collateral attack on a pending FAA order, see Crist, 138 F.3d at 804, and to allow courts to identify and dismiss damages claims that are actually “thinly disguised attempts] at an end-run around the jurisdictional limitation imposed by [§ 46110].” Mace, 34 F.3d at 860. The collateral attack doctrine prevents plaintiffs from crafting constitutional tort claims either as a means of “relit-igatfing] the merits of the previous administrative proceedings,” Tur, 104 F.3d at 292, or as a way of evading entirely established administrative procedures.

The plain language of the regulatory exclusion bars coverage for any claim against the directors and officers of the bank based on any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the FDIC. When read as a whole, the regulatory exclusion covers any claim, direct or secondary, brought against the directors and officers of the bank by the FDIC in any capacity. See American Casualty Co. v.

Instead, they simply assert that, “[f]or purposes of computing the applicable period of time, it is important to note that Plaintiffs’ claims for racial discrimination are under a ‘hostile working environment theory.’ ” Because no allegations were made of specific incidents that occurred within the one-year period, we conclude that the THRA claims are time-barred. See Brown v. City of Springhill, No. 01:06-0098, 2008 WL 974729 at *4 (M.D.Tenn. April 8, 2008) (). C.

The evidence also shows that Throne-berry’s act of “fishtailing” out of the alley is a misdemeanor offense under section 545.420 of the transportation code, which provides that “[a] person may not participate in any manner in ... an exhibition of vehicle speed or acceleration.” Id. § 545.420(a)(5). Though section 545.420 of the transportation code is entitled “Racing on Highway,” courts have rejected the narrow interpretation that the statute only applies where a defendant is involved in some sort of a speed competition with another vehicle. Evers v. State, 576 S.W.2d 46, 49 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (); Collins v.

The Court concludes that YVMH has prudential standing to sue for the alleged violations. The Complaint adequately alleges that the challenged regulations burden YVMH’s interstate business. Specifically, YVMH alleges that if it were allowed to perform elective PCI’s, it would 1) provide elective PCI to out-of-state residents; 2) buy necessary PCI equipment from out-of-state vendors; and 3) recruit physicians and staff from outside Washington to perform PCI. (Ct. Rec. 1 at 6.) If these facts are true, the Department burdened YVMH’s interest in participating in interstate commerce. Cf. Oregon v. Heavy Vehicle Elec.

Finally, the decision to grant declaratory relief is generally a matter within the court’s discretion. G.L.c. 231A §3 states: The court may refuse to render or enter a declaratory judgment . . . where such judgment . . . would not terminate the uncertainly or controversy giving rise to the proceedings or for other sufficient reasons.

It is the police officer's courage and sense of duty that society depends on for protection against violent criminals. The debt society owes its law enforcement officers, however, is not responsibly laid on property owners, by this Court's invention of a new tort action. We also note that other jurisdictions have addressed this issue and have concluded that a premises owner cannot be held liable for injuries sustained by a police officer when the officer is acting in the line of duty. See, e.g., Lenthall v. Maxwell, 138 Cal.App.3d 716, 188 Cal.Rptr. 260 (1982) (); Fancil v. Q.S.E.

Butler, 621 F.2d 240, 244-46 (6th Cir.1980). An issue exists as to whether the Plaintiff must first exhaust his administrative remedies before bringing this action. The Sixth Circuit is yet to address this question. In Baxter v. C.A.

As discussed previously, Plaintiffs allegation regarding alleged retaliation in the removal of her partitions does not meet the prima facie requirements for retaliation because it did not constitute an adverse employment action—thereby failing the second prong of the prima facie test. See supra Section III(A)(l)(iii). However, Plaintiff cannot establish the third prong of the prima facie case—the “causal connection” requirement—with regard to her assertion that Mr. Columbia denied her a within-grade increase in 1995 based on retaliatory motives. To prove a causal connection, Plaintiff must make a “showing that the employer had knowledge of the employee’s protected activity, a Garrett v.

We do not, however, consider the appellant’s actions in a vacuum. Instead, consistent with MCM (2005 ed.), Part IV, 1162c(2)(a)-(i), we note the following aggravating factors supporting the appellant’s conviction of the challenged offense: (1) the appellant was a Marine noncommissioned officer who was not legally separated from his wife. See United States v. Thompson, 22 M.J. 40, 41 (C.M.A.1986) (stating that noncommissioned officers, by virtue of their rank and authority, have the responsibility to maintain high personal standards of conduct); (2) the appellant committed his adulterous acts with Ms. E in his quarters on board a military installation. Cf. United States v. Green, 39 M.J. 606 (A.C.M.R.1994)(); (3) as a result of his initial encounter with ### Response: holding adultery was prejudicial to good order and discipline when it occurred in the barracks where other soldiers could see or find out about it " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: documents offered as substitutes were true and correct copies of the trial exhibits. The dealership produced no evidence tending to show that any of the duplicate exhibits was not a correct copy. Arguing that thousands of documents had been produced during discovery and many of these documents were confusingly similar, the dealership made a running objection to all of the substituted exhibits. Comparing the substituted documents to their corresponding descriptions in the original statement of facts, we find that the substituted exhibits are substantially the same as the original trial exhibits. None of the dealership’s objections create serious doubts about the authenticity, accuracy, or completeness of the substitutes.

Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343, however, imposes liability upon a landowner for harm caused ""by a condition on the land.” Angeles Park did not own or operate the irrigation canal. No case in Washington directly addresses this issue. The majority of jurisdictions do not impose a duty upon landowners to protect people on their land from dangers on adjacent land. See Corcoran v.

Jordan also asserts that the district court erroneously counted his state conviction for assault inflicting serious bodily injury as a predicate offense for career offender purposes given that he committed that offense on September 2, 2005, which was after he distributed cocaine on July 21, 2005, the conduct that formed the basis of the instant offense.

Such a presumption would not work a hardship on the mortgagee since, in virtually all instances, he is the drafter of the mortgage note and can thus include within the note a clause stating that the note is not subject to prepayment. This would put the mortgagor on notice that he will in all probability be restrained from selling the land for the duration of the term. If he signs the note containing such a provision, he will then be bound by it even though it may restrain his right to its sale or use. Id. at 65-66, 468 A.2d at 461.

In Place, the court held that exposing an individual's luggage located in a public place to a dog sniff did not constitute a ""search"" under the Fourth Amendment. Id. at 707, 103 S.Ct. 2637. Nevertheless, in applying Article II, Section 7 of the Colorado Constitution, we have ruled that Colorado law affords broader protections in some instances than the Fourth Amendment. See People v. Oates, 698 P.2d 811, 815 (Colo.1985)(""Several times we have determined that the Colorado proscription against unreasonable searches and seizures protects a greater range of privacy interests than does its federal counterpart.""); People v. - Sporleder, - 666 P.2d 135, 140 (Colo.1983)(""Although Article II, Section 7 of the Colorado Constitution is substantially similar to its federal (Colo.1995)().

Elliott did not make any assertion before the trial court, and makes none before this Court, that the acts for which Kele-men sued him were in the general scope of his employment. Further, the record contains no evidence to support a finding that Elliott’s general scope of employment included the assault of Kelemen. We thus conclude that Elliott failed to meet the burden required for dismissal under section 101.106(f). See Escalante, 251 S.W.3d at 727 ().

See Pretrial Order, Stip. Fact Nos. 4, 6, 7-12, 18; see also Trans, at 601-08. Moreover, there was no dispute that The Drifters continued to perform and record hit records after Hobbs left the group in 1961, and after Green left in 1964. See id.

Because the Municipality is not alleged to have engaged in a sovereign act, there is no substantial constitutional claim that would support a cause of action pursuant to § 1983. Thus, here, the Municipality’s acts of terminating the construction contract and temporarily detaining OSSAM’s property do not give rise to constitutional claims cognizable under § 1983. Finally, to the extent that OSSAM complains about its exclusion from the construction site, OSSAM had no constitutional right to access the Municipality’s construction site that would give rise to a § 1983 cl Fin.

Although there is some disagreement regarding whether plaintiffs may bring challenges to local tax sales in federal court, this Court maintains its position that federal courts do not have “subject-matter jurisdiction over ... suit[s] seeking to set aside or undo the sale of ... property] at a tax auction” because “a tax sale ... ‘is a mode of tax collection’ ” and the FTIA bars challenges to the “collection” of taxes.

A practice is unfair under the FDUTPA if it “offends established public policy” or is “immoral, unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, or substantially injurious to consumers.” PNR, Inc. v. Beacon Prop. Mgmt., Inc., 842 So.2d 773, 777 (Fla.2003). The Palmer Law Firm argues first that Plaintiffs lack standing to maintain a claim because they did not purchase services or goods from the firm and therefore are not “consumers” able to sue for a FDUTPA violation. There are several cases that support the firm’s argument that only consumers may sue for damages under FDUTPA. See, e.g., Kertesz v.

Santiago also argues that fundamental error occurred because the record does not show that the venire was sworn prior to voir dire. This court has held “that fundamental error is not established by a record that fails to demonstrate, one way or the other, whether the venire received the oath required by [Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure] 3.300(a).” Pena v.

This is not the standard for determining whether a custody order should be modified, nor is the fact that Dr. Bloomfield found “no overwhelming” reason to keep the status quo. Nota-' bly, the custody evaluator did not suggest changing custody; rather, he suggested the situation would improve if the parties lived closer together.

As Hall correctly points out, when the prosecution raises the spectre of a flawed alibi and the defendant chooses not to offer any alibi evidence, it may well leave the jury with an unfavorable impression of the defendant. In any event, whether it was improper for the prosecutor to comment on potential alibi witnesses under the facts of this case is an issue we need not reach in order to dispense with Hall’s appeal because improper prosecutorial remarks standing alone cannot justify a new trial unless they “undermined the fairness of the trial and contributed to a miscarriage of justice.” United States v.

Accordingly, because the Agreement only required CareFirst to provide a defense to Colleton “for claims arising solely on the basis of vicarious liability or ostensible or apparent agen cy,” CareFirst was not required to provide Colleton a defense at the onset of the litigation. We recognize Grant’s attorney “stipulated” during the Grant trial that his only cause of action against Colleton was a vicarious liability claim. However, the record reflects this stipulation was made as part of the settlement agreement. Thus, as of the date of the stipulation, when CareFirst arguably was required to provide a defense to Colleton, Colleton was no longer in need of a defense.

Sudden Emergency Instruction The next issue is whether the trial court abused its discretion by instructing the jury regarding sudden emergency. First, we note that Indiana Appellate Rule 46(A)(8)(e) provides: “When error is predicated on the giving or refusing of any instruction, the instruction shall be set out verbatim in the argument section of the brief with the verbatim objections, if any, made thereto.” The Estate did not set out the instruction or its objections verbatim in the argument section of its appellants’ brief. Ordinarily, an appellant waives the issue by failing to comply with this appellate rule. See, e.g., Collins v. State, 509 N.E.2d 827, 831 (Ind.1987) ().

Under the facts of the present case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by requiring that the former husband maintain a life insurance policy to secure the alimony awarded to the former wife. However, the amount of the coverage which the former husband was ordered to maintain lacks a sufficient evidentiary basis — the record contains no evidence of the former husband’s insura-bility at the time of the final hearing or the cost of the proposed insurance and, thus, the former husband’s ability to pay that unspecified cost.

Bangor Punta, 417 U.S. at 716, 94 S.Ct. 2578. Here, in contrast, any recovery by Plaintiff Trust will be for the benefit of Think3’s creditors and will not result in a windfall for Think3’s current shareholders, as discussed below. Second, the Bangor Punta doctrine is not applicable in bankruptcy proceedings brought for the benefit of creditors. The Supreme Court in Bangor Punta indicated that the doctrine does not apply to actions that are brought “on behalf of any creditors.” Bangor Punta, 417 U.S. at 718 n. 15, 94 S.Ct. 2578. In bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, courts have found that the unjust enrichment rationale of Bangor Punta is inapplicable. See Meyers v.

Of course the bankruptcy judge did state that the fee only covered professional services and he did apply a fifteen percent reduction factor. Unfortunately, the record does not provide any solid support for that figure and does not reveal whether the proscription found in Bankruptcy Rule 219(c)(3) has been violated. When the attorney for the operating receiver has clearly claimed compensation for time spent performing professional and non-professional services the bankruptcy court is required to cull the non-professional time to insure that the attorney is compensated only for professional services. The bankruptcy judge can, in turn, place this burden on the attorney claiming the fee. Cf. In Re Orbit Liquor Store, 439 F.2d 1351, 1354 (5th Cir. 1971) (). In the instant case Burke admitted that he ### Response: holding that where an attorney serves as trustee and attorney for the trustee in a bankruptcy proceeding the attorney must distinguish time spent in each role " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Illinois law, which permits victims to seek civil judgments to enforce unsatisfied criminal restitution orders, does not change the criminal origins of the restitution order and therefore find ing that the resulting civil judgment fell within the exception to discharge 74 (Bankr.N.D.Ohio 2004) (disagreeing with the debtor that a novation occurred, thus substituting a potentially nondischargeable debt under § 523(a)(15) for a dischargeable debt, when the debtor executed an agreement post-divorce regarding liability for his share of the parties’ joint tax obligations stating “a tiger does not change its stripes”); Moore v.

Regardless of the form that the distribution alternative takes, an “optional form of benefit” is always tied to “an accrued benefit” or “a retirement-type benefit.” 26 C.F.R. § 1.411 (d) — 3 (g)(6) (ii). That is, with immaterial exceptions, the lump-sum payment has to be connected with the employee actually retiring. 29 U.S.C. § 1002(23). But here, the plaintiffs aren’t retiring or taking a retirement-type benefit. They want to receive the annuity and keep on working for Finkl. Yet nothing in the Act, regulations, or case law suggests that an annuity to non-retired workers would qualify as an “optional form of benefit” under the Act. Cf. Arndt v. Security Bank S.S.B. Employees’ Pension Plan, 182 F.3d 538, 549-42 (7th Cir.1999) (); Ross v.

The jury had before it, in defendant’s own handwriting, a document that the State credibly argued was a confession that defendant had raped a female friend and had forcible, non-consensual anal intercourse with her. In addition, the jury was told — through the State’s improper cross-examination questions — that an expert had determined that defendant had “a prominent elevation on the psychopathic deviant scale,” as well as being a risk taker willing to do things others do not approve of for the personal enjoyment of doing so. We cannot conclude that the combined effect of an admission of rape and non-consensual anal intercourse together with an expert assessment of psychopathic deviancy was non-prejudicial. See State v. Canady, 355 N.C. 242, 246, 559 S.E.2d 762, 764 (2002) (); State v.

Last, this Court has concluded that in cases involving ongoing narcotics businesses, lapses of several months — and up to two years in certain circumstances— are not sufficient to render the information in an affidavit too stale to support probable cause.

Here, the BLM gave short shrift to a deluge of concerns from its own experts, FWS, the EPA, and state agencies; the BLM neither responded to their considered comments “objectively and in good faith” nor made responsive changes to the proposed regulations. Id. “[P]ublic scrutiny [is] essential to implementing NEPA,” 40 C.F.R. § 1500.1(b), and the BLM was required to “assess and consider ... both individually and collectively” the public comments received during the NEPA process and to respond to such in its Final EIS.

Upon the death of the surviving parent, the trust was to be divided equally among her grandchildren then living or, if any grandchild had died, to that grandchild’s child or children. In 1972, some 33 years after the creation of the trust and when the taxpayer’s mother, who was one of the life beneficiaries, was still alive, the taxpayer disclaimed his interest in the trust. The taxpayer argued that the word “transfer” in the Treasury regulation referred to the vesting or distribution of the property and that the “reasonable time” during which he could make a disclaimer did not begin to run until that interest vested upon the death of the last surviving life tenant. See Keinath, 480 F.2d at 63-64 ().

Plaintiff takes no position on whether the 1965 or 1973 plan applies but argues that the 1995 plan does not apply because it was enacted after Pickard’s right to benefits vested. I conclude that the 1965 plan controls. Plans or plan amendments that take effect after an employee has terminated employment generally do not affect the employee’s right to benefits. Pratt v. Petroleum Prod. Mgmt, Inc. Employee Sav. Plan & Trust, 920 F.2d 651, 661 (10th Cir.1990) (stating that an employee is entitled to benefits in accordance with the terms of the plan as of the date of termination from employment); see also Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

The court found it impossible to distinguish between late payment and nonpayment of minimum wages for purposes of determining whether an employer has violated the FLSA. Biggs, 1 F.3d at 1540-41. The court held that “payment of minimum wages is late if not done on payday.” Id. at 1543. It is undisputed that the State is plaintiffs’ “employer” for purposes of the FLSA. See Bonnette v. California Health and Welfare Agency, 704 F.2d 1465, 1470 (9th Cir.1983) ().

The evidence showed that appellant grabbed Jason’s bike and tried to take it from him. During the incident, Jason received bruises to his back. Appellant also hit Jason in the mouth. Jason testified that his mother bought him the bicycle. Even though appellant did not gain possession of the bicycle from Jason, this is not necessary in order to be convicted of robbery.

As an initial matter, the State argues that Myers’s speedy-trial claims are procedurally barred because he did not pursue the issue to a ruling by the trial court. This argument is incorrect. The United States Supreme Court has rejected the notion that a defendant can waive the right to a speedy trial forever by failing to timely assert it. Barker, 407 U.S. at 528, 92 S.Ct. 2182. As this Court held in Brengettcy v. State, 794 So.2d 987, 994 (Miss.2001), “While failure or delay in raising a speedy trial claim may cost a defendant points in the Barker analysis, there is no procedural bar solely for failing to properly pursue the claim in open court.” See also Flores v.

As California Federal Bank further explained, the purpose of “definitely establishing]” a causal connection between the breach and loss is so the non-breaching party will not be awarded more than if the contract had been performed. In this case, the court’s determination that TFC is entitled to a damage award of $109.309 million meets the “definitely established” standard in that the award does not exceed the Government’s contractual promise that Transohio Savings could treat the $157.5 mil 160 (7th Cir.1996) (); Gwartz v.

We review that order for abuse of discretion. 18 U.S.C. § 2520(b)(3). The district court is correct in its conclusion that courts recognize that an illegally taped conversation is admissible for impeachment. Two of our sister circuits have considered the issue and reached such a conclusion. In United States v. Caron, 474 F.2d 506 (5th Cir.1973), a criminal defendant denied during cross examination that he was engaged in bookmaking. In rebuttal and for impeachment purposes; the government sought to introduce, without a prior evidentiary hearing, taped conversations of the defendant which indicated his involvement in bookmaking. The Fifth Circuit held’that in light of Walder v.

Gillihan II at 267, 92 P.3d at 517. The plurality concluded that subsection four simply changes two parts of subsection one (concerning the specific requirements for plaintiffs to receive an award of attorney fees). Id. Under this view, in subsection four, the use of the word “claimant” in the phrase “there shall be taxed and allowed to the claimant ... attorney’s fees,” means attorney fees shall be taxed and allowed to either a plaintiff or defendant claiming attorney fees in an action meeting the other requirements of the statute.

Second, Scheetz was not the only witness to the incident. Jurors may hear from several witnesses who were also present for all or part of the incident, including some who were in a better position to view the events than Scheetz. Because Scheetz is but one of many individuals present at the revocation hearing, the likelihood that he could sway the jury by subtly imparting to them his firsthand knowledge of events is largely eliminated. Whatever remote possibilities of such conduct that remain can be curtailed through vigorous monitoring to ensure that Scheetz does not improperly imply that any witness’s version of events is inaccurate or otherwise provide impermissible unsworn testimony. See Fonten Corp. v. Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc., 469 F.3d 18, 23 (1st Cir.2006) ().

A defendant “deserves summary judgment if it can establish that, as a matter of indisputable fact, it lacks sufficient [market] power.” Town Sound v. Chrysler, 959 F.2d 468, 479 (3d Cir.1992). The Third Circuit recognizes that “the question of market power is certainly dependant on factual findings, and some older cases did state that summary judgments against plaintiffs are particularly disfavored in complex antitrust cases,” however, “many courts, including the Supreme Court, have more recently held defendants entitled to summary judgment in antitrust cases ... the standard of F.R.C.P. 56 remains the same.” Id. at 481; see also Geneva Pharmaceuticals Technology Corp. v.

It therefore remains protected as confidential under section 307 of the Dispute Resolution Act. Absent that document, we are left with a slim record on which to perform a common law contract analysis.

This is the view adopted by the Eighth Circuit. • ■ (Emphasis in original). Plaintiffs arguments rest, at bottom, on the contention that defendant did not treat him fairly, gave erroneous reasons for his firing, and ’willfully misrepresented the fact of his discharge. Under the law of this Circuit, none of these contentions, even if true, are enough without more to support an inference of illegal discrimination. The employment discrimination statutes are not meant to transform “at will” employment into perpetual employment where equal treatment is guaranteed to all employees and termination is legal only “f n. 3 (8th Cir.1985) (), cert. denied, 475 U.S. 1050, 106 S.Ct. 1273, ### Response: recognizing that an employer may develop arbitrary ridiculous and even irrational policies as long as they are applied in a nondiscriminatory manner " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: compensation hearings. For example, R.C. 4123.10 provides: “The industrial commission shall not be bound by the usual common law or statutory rules of evidence or by any technical or formal rules of procedure.” Similarly, the Ohio Rules of Evidence statutorily do not apply to unemployment-compensation hearings. In this regard, R.C. 4141.281(C)(2) provides that “[h]earing officers are not bound by common law or statutory rules of evidence or by technical or formal rules of procedure.” Such proceedings are no more or less significant than Dayton Civil Service Board hearings. And the foregoing statutory provisions express the concept recognized by this court in Haley, and others. See, e.g., Day Lay Egg Farm v. Union Cty. Bd.

City of Chicopee, 402 Mass. 228, 521 N.E.2d 741, 744 (1988), no court has held that municipalities are exempt from Chapter 93A claims so long as they are “acting in a business context”, functioning in “trade or commerce” as that statute requires.

We conclude that such evidence, offered for that purpose, would have been relevant to show bias. Therefore, Franco was entitled, as a matter of Due Process, to explore Pyle’s potential bias, as evidenced by Pyle having made a threatening call to Franco after the criminal incident. By precluding that inquiry, the Superior Court erred. We conclude, nonetheless, that although the trial court erred, the error was harmless. “Violations of the minimal due process right to confrontation ar , 1102-03 (3d Cir.1990); State v.

See Pa. Const, art. Ill, § 20; DeFazio, 562 Pa. at 436, 756 A.2d at 1105. Here, the Legislature found that some urban municipalities in Pennsylvania and elsewhere are attempting to solve the seemingly intractable problems facing their school districts by adopting mayor-led models of control and remediation. In our view, the Legislature could reasonably have believed that social issues interrelated with education, such as crime, poverty, and a weak tax base, are more severe in urban school districts than in rural ones, and sufficiently so to warrant special treatment under the EEA.

The claim for prospective injunctive relief must, however, be based upon federal law; regardless of the type of relief sought, the Eleventh Amendment bars claims in federal court against state officials that are based upon state law. Pennhurst, 465 U.S. at 121, 104 S.Ct. at 919. Applying these principals to the instant case, plaintiff conceded at oral argument that defendant the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is an arm of the state of Pennsylvania and therefore protected by the Eleventh Amendment.

Thus, even though Chief Forte may have had final authority to determine whom to promote to Arson Investigator and also to design the particular procedures to, be used when doing so, he was not authorized to establish policy regarding employment practices, including policy regarding consideration of an employee’s union status or activity in making promotion decisions. See Greensboro, 64 F.3d at 966. As a matter of law, that authority rests with the Civil Service Commission and the City Coordinator, not the Fire Chief. Cf. Bechtel v.

John Buchanan also argues that his sentences under counts five and six were duplicitous of the firearm charges contained in counts three and four. This argument lacks merit. Counts three and four, applying 18 U.S.C. § 924(c), required only that the defendant use or carry a firearm during a drug-trafficking offense. Count five, alleging violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o), required the possession of an automatic weapon; and count six, applying 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), required that the defendant not only possess a firearm, but that he also be a convicted felon. Thus counts five and six involve distinct elements not required by counts three and four. Under the test set forth in Blockburger v. United S 2d 603 (1994); United States v.

We do not view that statement as a per se temporal rule, however, as the court in that case went on to assess other factors bearing on relevance: the probative value and the similarity of the offenses. See id. at 1232-33; see also United States v. Burse, 150 F. App’x 829, 831 (10th Cir.2005) (unpublished) (affirming the use of an eight-year old drug conviction, and noting that Becker “relied heavily on a fact-specific analysis of the relevance of the prior crimes”). Indeed, other Courts of Appeal routinely uphold the admission of prior drug convictions older than the ones in this case. See, e.g., United States v.

The absence of any expression of preemptive intent in the rules adopted by this Court governing the conduct of attorneys and judges, as well as the long-established policy of judicial acceptance of statutory arrangements touching upon this Court’s constitutional prerogatives, distinguish the situation here from the one involved in Wajert v.

A court must reach this conclusion independently based on the facts in the record.” Id. at 339. Similarly in McDaniels v. Carlson, 108 Wash'.2d 299, 738 P.2d 254 (1987), the Supreme Court of Washington addressing competing presumptions of paternity held that: “the mere filing of a paternity action does not automatically imply that the action is in the child’s best interest. A court must reach this conclusion independently based on the facts in the record and the recommendations of the guardian ad litem appointed to represent the interests of the child.” Id. at 262. There, the 988, 993 (1995) (recognizing that the best interest of the child is a paramount consideration in determining whether to order blood tests); Ban v.

Then the prosecutor listed all the things the four-year-old victim would never be able to do, such as go to school, get in fights with her sister, and worry her mother. In addition, the prosecutor argued that because of defendant’s conduct, Alecia never knew her sister or mother. At the very end of his argument, the prosecutor turned his attention to the murder of Mr. Worley: James Worley I’m sure had dreams. He had aspirations. And he had things he wanted to do in his life. Elton McLaughlin took that away from James Worley. He took that away from James Worley for three thousand dollars. Although defendant concedes that the United States Supreme Court overruled Booth v.

Furthermore, Henry Street cannot tack any time before 1994 to meet the 21 years required for continuous and uninterrupted use to establish a prescriptive easement. So long as Conrail owned the Avis line, Henry Street and its predecessors could not claim prescriptive use of any crossing over the railroad. Therefore, Henry Street’s prescriptive easement claim fails. Henry Street’s “claims” of laches, waiver, and detrimental reliance are likewise unavailing for the same reason its claim for a prescriptive easement fails. These defenses rise no higher and are deserving of no greater protection than its claim based upon a prescriptive easement that would not permit one to take property from a government entity.

Appellant cannot prevail on either claim. The record reveals that the calendar was mentioned briefly only to explain why Maureen Welsh, Appellant’s parole officer, instituted parole revocation proceedings against him in October, 1995. The Commonwealth presented evidence that the calendar existed and triggered parole revocation proceedings, but did not read the contents of the calendar to the jury. As the trial court admitted the calendar for a legitimate purpose and none of the incriminating information contained in the exhibit was divulged when it was introduced, see N.T., Feb. 9, 2000, at 76-77, the trial court did not abuse its discretion.

Notably, the Creasman court also treated the division of property between the intimate partners as an initial question of what property would become part of the decedent’s estate. See id. ¶21 In subsequent cases, this court distinguished Creasman and began to question the validity of its presumption. Latham v. Hennessey, 87 Wn.2d 550, 553-55, 554 P.2d 1057 (1976) (noting that this court had developed numerous exceptions to the Creasman presumption to avoid inequitable results and indicating a willingness to overrule it); In re Estate of Thornton, 81 Wn.2d 72, 76-77, 81, 499 P.2d 864 (1972) ().

An intervening cause breaks the chain of events so that the defendant’s original negligent act is not a proximate cause of the plaintiffs injury in the slightest degree. Appellees’ App. at 47. The Estate did not object to these instructions. During closing arguments, the Defendants argued, without any objection from the Estate, that Dyer’s speed was the proximate cause of his death. We conclude that the Estate waived any argument that Dyer’s speed could not be an intervening or proximate cause of Dyer’s death by failing to object at trial. See, e.g., Estate of Hunt v.

State v. Crocker, 409 N.W.2d 840, 845 (Minn.1987). But under certain circumstances, consecutive sentences may be imposed without departing from the sentencing guidelines. Minn. Sent. Guidelines II.F. For example, when a defendant has “[mjultiple current felony convictions for crimes against persons” and the presumptive disposition for the offenses is commitment to the commissioner of corrections, consecutive sentencing is permissive without departure from the sentencing guidelines.

Upon being asked to exit the vehicle, the defendant balked; instead of exiting, he uttered more profanity, further heightening Officer Hyland’s legitimate concerns. Even without that further incitement, the pat-frisk would have been permissible. Once an officer has formed a reasonable belief that a detained person may be armed and dangerous, a pat-down for protective purposes is, without more, deemed reasonably related in scope to the stop. See Terry, 392 U.S. at 30, 88 S.Ct. 1868; United States v. Ivery, 427 F.3d 69, 72 (1st Cir.2005). Thus, when the defendant refused to accede to Officer Hyland’s request, the officers were constitutionally entitled to remove him from the vehicle and pat-frisk him. See Soares, 521 F.3d at 121 ().

In the present proceeding, Futura seeks to hold the Commonwealth accountable for the existing MD judgment as an alter ego of CDC. Like piercing the corporate veil, an alter ego claim presents a substantive theory seeking to establish liability on the part of a new party not otherwise liable. See Futura II, 144 F.3d at 12 (describing alter ego theory as “a substantive theory for imposing liability upon entities that would, on first blush, not be thought liable” and as requiring “a subsequent and distinct inquiry”).

Based on these facts, we conclude that Catalina Cafe, Inc., the tenant, vacated the premises at the earliest in April 1987. Further, appellants cannot claim abandonment of the premises until their efforts to sublease the space to other investors failed in June 1987. The “material act” by the landlord about which appellants complain is that Rotana provided inadequate parking for Catalina Cafe. Coleman testified that this parking problem surfaced the first Friday night that Catalina Cafe was open for business in September 1985. Even using the earlier date of April 1987 for the abandonment, we hold that this twenty-month delay is not within a reasonable time as a matter of law. Metroplex Glass, 646 S.W.2d at 265-66 ().

We do not believe, however, that such a finding is the “only one rationally supported by the record below.” Rather, the non-hearsay evidence presented at trial makes it plausible that Díaz-Pérez was involved in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine. In fact, Count One of the Indictment charged both defendants with “aiding and abetting each other, and others to this Grand Jury unknown.” Additionally, while the tape recordings between Chita and his Colombian contacts do not mention Díaz-Pérez by name, the Colombian contacts did indicate that the informant would be contacted by a female schoolteacher in Puerto Rico.

Numerous federal and state courts have also extended the First Amendment protection provided by Richmond Newspapers to particular types of judicial documents, determining that the First Amendment itself, as well as the common law, secures the public’s capacity to inspect such records.

Lawson, The Kentucky Evidence Law Handbook § 8.15[4], at 590 (4th ed. LexisNexis 2003) (emphasis omitted).

And, in furtherance of this principle, we have, on rare occasion, allowed Rule 15 amendments after judgment is entered. Nevertheless, it does not appear that we have ever allowed an amendment to a § 2255 motion after the § 2255 motion is denied. We need not determine whether the allowance of such an amendment is permissible here because the motion to amend is futile and would be barred even if it were timely. Oleson’s proposed amendment is subject to the § 2255 one-year statute of limitations affirmative defense. See Dunlap v. United States, 250 F.3d 1001, 1004 (6th Cir.2001) ().

After the death penalty was reinstated, this Court was again asked to examine the meaning of “capital offenses” in Ex parte Dennis, 834 So.2d 369, 372 (Miss.1976). Judge Mills wrote: [I]n Ex Parte Dennis, the Mississippi Supreme Court clarified its holding in Hudson and reiterated the “historic definition of a capital case as one permitting the death penalty.” 334 So.2d 369, 372 (Miss.1976). The Dennis Court also interpreted Miss.Code Ann. § 1-3-4 in light of the Mississippi Constitution, reasoning that, while, the legislature could define “capital” by statute as carrying the penalty of death or life imprisonment, this statutory definition did not change the meaning of the word as it was used in § 29 of the State Constitution.

Indeed, in view of the finding instruction’s provision that the Commonwealth must prove that appellant either “acted as an accessory before the fact or conspired with ... Hulbert in the commission of the killing” (emphasis added), it is clear that proof of the referenced conspiracy is not the sole basis upon which appellant’s liability as an accomplice in the murder could rest. Proof that appellant participated in the murder as an accessory before the fact would also suffice to establish appellant’s guilt. Hence, we cannot say, viewing the applicable legal elements of murder in the abstract, that proof of the referenced conspiracy is “required” in this context to prove the charged murder.

However, double jeopardy does not apply to noncapital sentencing enhancements because an enhanced sentence imposed on a persistent offender is not a new jeopardy or an additional penalty for the earlier offense. Id. at 728. Therefore, double jeopardy does not prevent the State from having “a second opportunity to present its proof of the prior ... conviction” in a noncapital sentencing proceeding. Bell v.

Because the Union failed to timely provide written notice of arbitration containing specifications of issues in dispute to the Borough and serve it upon the Borough Council president, the arbitration panel lacked jurisdiction to award the Borough police officers wage increases for the fiscal year 2011. See City of Phila. v. Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 5, 564 Pa. 290, 768 A.2d 291, 296 (2001) (); Plymouth Twp. Police Dep’t v.

Another useful summary of the law is found in the Gillette case viz: Section 43(a) is a remedial statute and should therefore be broadly construed. See Seven-Up, 86 F.3d at 1383; Gordon & Breach, 859 F.Supp. at 1532. The statute is not so broad, however, that it includes all statements made by one competitor about its or another competitor’s product. See Garland, 895 F.Supp. at 279 (“[T]his court has found no indication that Congress, through its use of the language ‘commercial advertising or promotion,’ intended to extend Lanham Act coverage to every isolated alleged misrepresentation made to a potential customer by a business competitor.”); Mobius Mgmt., 880 F.Supp. at 1021 () (quoting Alfred Dunhill Ltd. v.

However, the UCL sounds in equity and therefore there is no right to a jury determination as to whether a defendant’s conduct was unfair under the statute; the court must make this factual determination. Hodge v. Superior Court, 145 Cal.App.4th 278, 282-85, 51 Cal. Rptr.3d 519 (2006); see also Steinberg Moorad & Dunn, Inc. v. Dunn, 136 Fed. Appx. 6 (9th Cir.2005) ().

The court explained that, in most cases, the time of a work-related injury will be found to coincide with the accident; however, there may be instances where the extent of the injury could not reasonably have been ascertained by medical evidence at the time of the accident. Id. at 185. Accordingly, “the two-year limitation statute does not begin to run until by reasonable care and diligence it is discoverable and apparent that a compensable injury has been sustained.” Id. at 184 (citations omitted); see also Quaker Oats v.

Nor did he ever file a motion to dismiss based on lack of jurisdiction. Instead, he pleaded no contest to the charges against him without preserving any alleged errors or reserving his right to appeal any pre-plea rulings of the trial court. Now, five years after the plea, he seeks to raise the alleged lack of jurisdiction by the Statewide Prosecutor in this untimely rule 3.850 motion. I recognize that if the Statewide Prosecutor files an information but lacks jurisdiction to prosecute the case, the trial court’s jurisdiction is not properly invoked. See, e.g., Brown v. State, 917 So.2d 272, 273 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005); Winter v. State, 781 So.2d 1111, 1114 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001); cf. Sawyer v. State, 94 Fla. 60, 113 So. 736 (1927) ().

Banks also argues that the assessment of one point for committing the instant offense within two years of release from custody for another offense was in error, because he served time for the other charge after the instant conduct and not before. USSG § 4A1.1 (e), comment (n.5) (noting that this section applies only if the conduct occurs after the release from custody). The government admits this error. As a result, Banks has 13 criminal history points, not 14. Nevertheless, he is still in criminal history category VI. See United States v. Evans, 285 F.3d 664, 674 (8th Cir.2002) ().

The record clearly reflects that the trial court considered the sentencing guidelines in particularizing defendant’s sentences. The trial judge stated for the record the circumstances he took into account and their factual basis in imposing sentence on the defendant. The trial court has wide discretion in imposing sentence, and a sentence imposed within statutory limits will not be deemed constitutionally excessive absent manifest abuse of discretion. State v. Howard, 414 So.2d 1210 (La.1982). Focusing on the constitutional claim advanced by the defendant, the jurisprudence suggests that the defendant’s individual sentences are neither shocking nor grossly disproportionate to the severity of the crimes committed.

The government maintains that Romero-Rendon states that preponderance of the evidence is an adequate standard where the defendant did not challenge the accuracy of the sentencing report. The superceding version of our decision in that case, however, did not so hold. 14 . Berger's reliance on Staten and Zolp is misplaced. Neither Staten nor Zolp focused on the standard of proof, and therefore neither calls into question our holdings in Riley, Armstead, or Garro. See United States v.

Moreover, the rationales cited by the County to support its enactment of the Ordinance clearly fall within those recognized by the courts as reasonable bases for zoning laws. See Sylvia Dev. Corp. v.

Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1182, 1185 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petition for review. The BIA did not abuse its discretion by denying Ma’s motion to reopen due to the lack of prejudice from her former attorney’s failure to file an application for cancellation of removal, where Ma has not established plausible grounds for success on the merits of such an application.

However, the mere fact that LGE is entitled to impose conditions on the sale of the essential components of its patented products does not mean that it actually did so here. To the contrary, Defendants’ purchase of the microprocessors and chip-sets from Intel was unconditional, in that Defendants’ purchase of microprocessors and chipsets from Intel was in no way conditioned on their agreement not to combine the Intel microprocessors and chipsets with other non-Intel parts and then sell the resultant products.

Even considering the facts in the light most favorable to Briggs, this case amounts’to Briggs’s treating physicians and the non-treating physicians having conflicting clinical findings. Although Liberty cannot arbitrarily ignore the opinions of Briggs’s treating physicians, it reasonably may choose to value the opinions of its own medical consultants over his treating physician.

And again, Herrington’s cited cases on this point are distinguishable and not to the contrary.

Moreover, it is unpersuasive to argue, as Herrington does, that this case is comparable to appeals from the initial decision regarding the appointment of an examiner or trustee, which the Fourth Circuit has found to be final and immediately appealable. See Dalkon Shield, 828 F.2d at 241; see also In re Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc., 140 F.3d 463, 470 (3d Cir.1998) ().

Not only is a motion to reconsider an allowable method of reviewing a prior order, it is the most appropriate and advantageous method of seeking relief from an interlocutory order for a party to pursue. The beneficial aspect of distinguishing between the two methods of relief is readily apparent when the strict standard for granting relief under Rule 60(b) is contrasted with the practically unbridled discretion of a district court to reconsider a previous interlocutory order. Compare Greene v. Union Mutual Life Ins. Co. of America, 764 F.2d 19, 22 (1st Cir.1985), and United States v. Jerry, 487 F.2d 600, 604 (3d Cir.1973) (), with Lomas & Nettleton Co. v.

Rather, he contends that it was irrelevant, unnecessary, and unduly prejudicial.

Those Minnesota voters indicated their desire to have Hagelin and Gold-haber on the ballot as representatives of the principles espoused by the Reform Party, and we do not lightly set aside their wishes. Instead we find a strong presumption in favor of giving effect to the wishes of those nominators. Indeed, this court has allowed the party name on the ballot to differ from that on the nominating petition in only two instances. In both instances the court acted to give effect to the party name protection act, however. See Lind v. Scott, 87 Minn. 316, 318, 92 N.W. 96, 97 (1902) (); Davidson v.

These questions are abstractly interesting, but ultimately unimportant in the resolution of this matter. National Association anticipated Chevron’s framing of judicial review of agency statutory interpretation as an inquiry into an agency’s delegated authority and its action within that authority. “Chevron is principally concerned with whether an agency has authority to act under a statute.” Arent v. Skalala, 70 F.3d 610, 615 (D.C.Cir.1995). Chevron analysis “is focused on discerning the boundaries of Congress’ delegation of authority to the agency; and as long as the agency stays within that delegation, it is free to make policy choices in interpreting the statute, and such interpretations are entitled to deference.” Id.; see also Mead, 533 U.S. at 226-27, 121 S.Ct. at 2170-71 ().

Vallejo, 532 Pa. 558, 616 A.2d 974, 976 (1992). Here, the trial court refused to permit Elliott to introduce evidence that Nardone died in 1994 after assaulting his girlfriend, finding that such evidence had no bearing on whether Elliott committed the victim’s murder in 1992. N.T., Oct. 24, 1994, at 168-71. Elliott has failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion. The fact that Nardone may have physically assaulted a woman in 1994, causing her to inflict injury upon Nardone, does not make it more probable than not that Nardone, and not Elliott, murdered the victim in 1992. Elliott’s contrary theory constitutes nothing more than rank speculation. See Commonwealth v. Williams, 554 Pa. 1, 720 A.2d 679, 686 (1998) (); Commonwealth v.

Conclusion Given the “overwhelming public interest” in providing physicians with a confidential context in which to evaluate the effectiveness of life-saving techniques and procedures, the Court is compelled to recognize the self-critical analysis privilege in the context of morbidity and mortality conferences and will apply it in this ease.

In this case, while the indirect evidence and direct evidence are independently sufficient to allow the Chuangs to proceed to trial, it is the cumulative evidence to which a court ultimately looks. 1. Indirect Evidence It is not quite accurate to say that at this point the burden of production shifts back to the Chuangs. As the Supreme Court recently reaffirmed, a disparate treatment plaintiff can survive summary judgment without producing any evidence of discrimination beyond that constituting his prima facie case, if that evidence raises a genuine issue of material fact regarding the truth of the employer’s proffered reasons. Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., — .U.S. -, -, 120 S.Ct. 2097, 2108, 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000) (); see also St. Mary’s Honor Center, 509 U.S. at ### Response: holding that if factfinder rejects employers proffered nondiseriminatory reasons as unbelievable it may infer the ultimate fact of intentional discrimination without additional proof of discrimination " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: explanation of its failure to call the witness. In such instances, the State cannot meet its burden as a matter of law, unless there is sufficient other evidence to overcome the inference. But the cases do not hold that before police interrogate a suspect at least two officers must be present so that one can corroborate the other in the event of a suppression hearing. Neither do the cases require police to obtain a written acknowledgment and written waiver of rights. As indicated by the Supreme Court in State v. Myers, where circumstances demonstrate that the evidence was sufficient to support the conclusion that a defendant knowingly waived his Miranda rights, the fact that a corroborating witness was not produced is not critical. See Myers, 86 Wn.2d 419, 428-29, 545 P.2d 538 (1976) ().

Edens had witnessed the conspiratorial conversation that took place between Lemons and Rider and arguably could have testified that Lemons was not forced to participate in the robbery, contrary to Lemons’ claim. It appears that Edens was the least culpable defendant in this case and his observations regarding his more culpable codefendant Lemons might have been offered in exchange for a plea agreement with the government. No such effort was made on Edens’ behalf because such an arrangement would have been in direct conflict with Lemons’ defense. See Baty v. Balkcom, 661 F.2d 391, 397 (5th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 456 U.S. 1011, 102 S.Ct. 2307, 73 L.Ed.2d 1308 (1982) ().

Therefore, we hold that the trial court did not err in refusing to allow Marie Gorostieta to testify as to the amounts contained in the medical bills. IV. JURY INSTRUCTIONS 142 The Gorostietas allege that the trial court erred in removing a sentence from a requested jury instruction that had been taken verbatim from section 41-6-80 of the Utah Code. In addition, they argue that the court erred in giving jury instructions 16, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, and 28. Parkinson counters that the jury instructions given by the court covered all aspects of the applicable law in this case and there was no prejudicial error in removing the sentence complai W.2d 646, 654 (Tex.Ct.App.1998) (); Forcier v.

See Commonwealth v. G. Williams, 586 Pa. 770, 895 A.2d 1261 (2006) (per curiam). 6 . In G. Williams, we also held that the sanctions prescribed by Megan's Law II for an SVP’s non-compliance with the Act’s RNC provisions, which provided a minimum penalty of lifetime probation, qualified as punitive, and were unconstitutional inasmuch as they came into play only upon judicial factfinding by clear and convincing evidence, in violation of Apprendi. We struck and severed those provisions, which have since been recodified and diminished. G. Williams, 832 A.2d at 985-86. Their validity is not presently before us. 7 . Neither court considered whether and to what extent the offending provisions were severable from Megan’s Law II. Cf., e.g., G. Williams, 832 A.2d at 986 ().

See id. (considering EEOC’s treatment of questionnaire as a factor in determining whether a charging party manifested intent to activate the administrative process). UPS contends, however, that the EEOC did not actually treat Mr. Jones’s questionnaire as a charge. It notes that the EEOC twice told Mr. Jones that it was not treating the questionnaire as a charge of discrimination and that it never notified UPS that a charge had been filed, which it ordinarily must do within ten days of the filing of a charge, see 29 C.F.R. § 1601.14(a). But the EEOC later sent Mr. Jones a dismissal and notice of his right to sue, which indicates it ultimately treated the questionnaire as a formal charge. See Wilkerson, 270 F.3d at 1321 ().

Ms. Clussman preserved the necessary points by filing motions pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2). First, the sentences imposed in count II of each case — sixty months in prison followed by two years of probation — are illegal, because Ms. Clussman was convicted of third-degree felonies in each of these counts. A sixty-month term of imprisonment is the maximum sentence that the trial court could have legally imposed for a third-degree felony. See § 775.082(3)(d), Fla. Stat. (2010). The state concedes error on this point. Next, the trial court did not orally pronounce special conditions of probation 3 and 20 at sentencing. They must therefore be stricken from the written order of probation. See Justice v. State, 674 So.2d 123, 124 (Fla.1996) ().

Also, we note that some jurisdictions explicitly require direct privity for the malpractice statute of limitations to apply. See Fla.Stat. § 95.-ll(4)(a) (1991); Baskerville-Donovan v. Pensacola Exec., 581 So.2d 1301 (Fla.Í991). 5 . Other jurisdictions have similarly concluded that engineers and architects are professionals for purposes of statutes of limitations for malpractice actions. See e.g. Board of Regents v.

But the ANDA approval stage is not the point in time at which FDA must evaluate a generic’s purpose beyond that which is set forth in the ANDA itself.

Id., 546 A.2d at 1224. Although it is indeed true that the PHRA to a large extent reflects the aims and substance of Title VII, in deciding whether a statutory right to a jury trial exists, it is the remedial provisions of the two laws that are crucial. Lorillard, Div. of Loew’s Theatres, Inc. v. Pons, 434 U.S. 575, 584, 98 S.Ct. 866, 872, 55 L.Ed.2d 40 (1978). In 1972, Congress amended Title VII to provide for bench trials exclusively in all Title VII actions. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(4). However, prior to that amendment, federal courts based their determinations that plaintiffs had no right to a jury trial under Title VII on the equitable nature of the remedial provisions of that act. See, e.g., Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, Inc., 417 F.2d 1122, 1125 (5th Cir.1969) ().

See id. at 379 n. 7 (discussing difference between standard “claims-made” and “claims-made-and-reported” policies). However, the same reasons for requiring the insurer to demonstrate prejudice ap ply: FIC gave notice of the claim within the policy’s scope of coverage, i.e., before XL could “close its books” on the policy. Because XL was not denied the benefit of the elaims-made nature of its policy, it could not deny coverage based on FIC’s immaterial breach of the policy’s prompt-notice provision.

The trial court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss, and the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere, specifically reserving his right to appeal the denial of his motion. At the outset, the defendant makes clear that he does not attempt to defend his conduct; indeed, he freely acknowledges that it is reprehensible. What he does defend is his right to be charged under a statute which embraces such conduct. Thus, while he suggests that he may have been prosecuted for lewd cohabitation, § 798.02, Fla.Stat.

The Supreme Court of Alaska has characterized these statutes as an interlocking scheme, not greater or lesser offenses. Convictions for both offenses would not appear to violate double jeopardy. See Drahosh v. State, 442 P.2d 44, 49 (Alaska 1968) (). In Missouri v.

See, e.g., Tr. vol. 13, 123-25, 134-35, 138-40. Compare Tr. vol. 13, 123 (“A [Owens:] I don’t know what a perjury conviction is.”), with 134 (“Q [Counsel:] But you drew the line at perjury? A [Owens:] I did.”) and 135 (“A [Owens:] I came to the conclusion that to keep the house of cards together, I would have to commit perjury. And that was a line that I was not willing to cross.”).

After all, Bailey’s research suggests that Corbet Craddock died in 1983. Moreover, the Keeper’s argument ignores the plaintiffs’ contention that Nellie Craddock lacked authorization to object for Corbet Craddock. Thus, from the same discrete source, the Keeper cites (allegedly) favorable evidence and disregards unfavorable evidence. Such cherry-picking embodies arbitrary and capricious conduct. See Am. Radio Relay League, Inc. v. FCC, 524 F.3d 227, 237 (D.C.Cir.2008) (citations omitted) (indicating that “there is no APA precedent allowing an agency to cherry-pick a study on which it has chosen to rely”); cf. Shaw v.

Id. at 916 (citation omitted). We believe that the district court provided an “objective theory” of contract law under Arkansas law and did not abuse its discretion. Having reviewed the jury instructions on the whole, we conclude that they fairly and accurately represent the evidence and applicable Arkansas law in light of the issues presented to the jury- Potlatch next argues that the district court erred when it provided the following jury instruction: Where a contract contains no express ag ., 773 F.2d 987, 989 (8th Cir.1985) (under Arkansas law, only a contract of an indefinite duration may be terminated at will); Griffin v.

The Court notes an absence of controlling Eleventh Circuit law on whether Rule 9(b) applies to claims of constructive fraudulent transfers and acknowledges the split in authority regarding this issue.

Defendants’ request that the Court dismiss Hall’s Section 1983 claims against Jindal and Caldwell is DENIED. 2. Qualified Immunity In support of their motion, Jindal and Caldwell argue that they are entitled to qualified immunity. Qualified immunity protects government officials sued in their individual capacities “from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.” James v. Dallas Hous. Auth., 526 Fed.Appx. 388, 391-392 (5th Cir.2013) (citing Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982)); see also Kentucky v.

Pl. Mem. at 5 (citing Savino v. Computer Credit, Inc., 164 F.3d 81, 86 (2d Cir.1998)). Reiner responds by asserting that, even if its statement regarding the time to cure a default was ambiguous, it cured any such ambiguity by including a statement in the letter that, “YOU MAY DISPUTE THE VALIDITY OF THE DEBT ... IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER ... OTHERWISE, THE DEBT WILL BE ASSUMED TO BE VALID.” Pl.Ex. 5; see also McStay v. I.C. System, Inc., 308 F.3d 188, 191 (2d Cir.2002) ().

As this court has held, however, the fact that Congress has passed a specific statute with lenient penalties does not indicate that Congress intended to preempt a more general but more severe statute that would apply to the same offense. See Anderez, 661 F.2d at 407 (citations omitted). Furthermore, appellants fail to consider a crucial difference between 16 U.S.C. § 1857(1)(I) and 18 U.S.C. § 1001. Section 1857(1)(I) does not mention materiality and thus imposes no materiality requirement upon the government, cf. United States v. Wells, 519 U.S. 482, 117 S.Ct. 921, 927, 137 L.Ed.2d 107 (1997) (), while § 1001 does have an explicit ### Response: holding that 18 usc 1014 has no materiality requirement because the statute does not so much as mention materiality " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: authorizing the use of force. Stewart’s complaint fails to meet this requirement. The adminisrators’ alleged policy of spraying prisoners with pepper spray for refusing to follow directions falls within the wide-ranging zone of deference accorded to prison officials in shaping “prophylactic or preventive measures intended to reduce the incidence of ... breaches of prison discipline.” Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312, 322, 106 S.Ct. 1078, 89 L.Ed.2d 251 (1986). Likewise, allegations that the administrators authorized corrections officers to dispense pepper spray across entire pod areas whenever an individual prisoner acts in a disruptive manner, and that they authorized the use of an “Israeli fogger” device, both fail to show that excessive force was used. Cf. Gomez, 298 F.3d at 903-04 (). Deliberate Indifference.

The Legislature also provided the court with authority to issue writs to permit the recovery of possession: “In an appropriate case the court may issue a writ of possession or restitution to the sheriff or other proper officer of any county in this state in which the premises recovered are situated.” Id. The cause of action stated under MCL 600.2932 is broader than that provided by the common-law claim for ejectment and the equitable action to quiet title— even when those causes of action are considered together; a careful reading shows that it includes any claim, whether actual or potential and without regard to the legal or equitable theory underlying the claim, as long as the claim concerns competing interests in land. See Adams, 276 Mich App at 714-721 (). The only limits are those applicable to ### Response: recognizing that a claim under mcl 6002932 includes all actions to decide interests in land even when the claim involves fraud or rescission and holding that the 15year period of limitations applies to such an action rather than the shorter periods applicable to typical claims for fraud and rescission " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: are satisfied. 3. Class Period Defendants seek a hearing to consider the range of stock prices over the proposed Class Period and possible reasons that may have contributed to the decline in Herley’s stock prices. In addition, Defendants seek to have the Court consider evidence concerning when Defendants first knew or should have known about the non-performing equipment claims that led to the April 26, 1994 press release. In effect, Defendants want the Court to make a decision on the merits during its consideration of the pending motion. To determine these issues at this time is inappropriate. Preliminary assessment on the merits should be deferred until later in the proceedings. See Eisen v. Carlisle & Jacquelin, 417 U.S. 156, 177-78, 94 S.Ct. 2140, 2152-53, 40 L.Ed.2d 732 (1974) (); Sherin v.

D. Additional RICO Infirmities The Complaint also fails to state a RICO claim for reasons unique to each subsection of § 1962. To state a violation of § 1962(a), Plaintiff must allege that Defendants used income received from a pattern of racketeering activity to acquire an interest in or establish an enterprise engaged in or affecting interstate commerce. The Complaint fails to allege that Defendants received income from racketeering activity, acquired an interest in an enterprise, or established an enterprise. Therefore, for the reasons mentioned above, no violation of § 1962(a) has been stated. See Morin, 835 F.Supp. 126, 131-32 (). No violation of § 1962(b) is stated because ### Response: holding that to state a 1962a claim plaintiff must allege that the defendants received income derived from a pattern of racketeering activity and invested it in the acquisition of any interest in or the establishment or operation of a rico enterprise " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to distribute, and to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846, and three counts of possession with intent to distribute heroin, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1).

Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). A sentence is reasonable when the dist d.2d 832 (2006); see also United States v.

Id. (citing Calder, 465 U.S. at 790,104 S.Ct. at 1487). In a more recent case, however, that same court, applied the fiduciary shield doctrine to defeat general jurisdiction. Garner v. Furmanite Australia Pty., Ltd., 966 S.W.2d 798 (Tex.App.— Houston [1st Dist.] 1998, pet. denied). In Garner the First Court of Appeals found no general jurisdiction against an employee of a company because the fiduciary shield doctrine protects the employee from personal jurisdiction when the employee’s actions are on behalf of his employer. Id. at 803. The Gamer opinion cited to the Fifth Circuit’s opinion in Stuart v. Spademan, as its source for the fiduciary shield doctrine. Id. (citing Stuart v.

We lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s discretionary determination that petitioners failed to show exceptional and extremely unusual hardship. See Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 929 (9th Cir.2005). Contrary to petitioners’ contention, the IJ’s interpretation of the hardship standard falls within the broad range authorized by the statute.

Traditionally, the principles of finality include two subdoctrines: (1) “Claim preclusion,” which addresses the preclusive effect of a judgment upon the subsequent relitigation of a claim or cause of action, see Bissonnette v.

During his deposition, Bouthillette explained that Lima, also an authorized agent of Local 254, told him during a recorded phone conversation that Local 254 would contact Blue Cross in order to sabotage Intercity’s relationship if the cleaning company did not accede to the union’s wishes.

The interpretation of the Ohio General Assembly’s intent in drafting an election of remedies into Chapter 4112 of the Ohio Revised Code is a matter of state law. The Ohio Supreme Court has not spoken directly to the issue of whether an EEOC filing equates with the election of an administrative remedy under § 4112.05, but it has expressed an unwillingness to interpret Chapter 4112’s election of remedy scheme to preclude an individual from pursuing both a federal and state law claim for age discrimination.

At best, he could only testify to what he heard as he was taking a shower. Given the tangential nature of the testimony he offered, his testimony would not have undermined the evidence offered by the State. Similarly, although there was evidence that Tapia and Suarez heard shots in the alley and that they would have testified that they saw a red Blazer exit the alley after the shots, their testimony would not have contradicted or undermined the prosecution’s case. Unlike those cases in which we have found that the deficient performance was prejudicial, here, the additional witnesses would not have provided Villagrana with an alibi or exonerating evidence.

Next, at least some hunters who receive the signal will journey to North Africa to search for one of the small number of scimitar-horned oryx, ad-dax and dama gazelle that live in the wild— all because these hunters picked up the signal.

Burress filed a pro se motion for reconsideration within ten days and filed a timely pro se notice of appeal from the district court’s denial of the motion. On appeal, Burress first attempts to challenge the legality of the district court’s restitution order, contending it violates the rule established in Hughey v.

There, the Second District held the defendant was entitled to have the jury hear the remainder of his statement without placing his credibility in issue. We agree that the defendant’s position is supported by Foster. But, Foster runs contrary to section 90.806(1) and our prec edent. See, e.g., Kelly v. State, 857 So.2d 949, 949 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003) (). The defendant’s position is also contrary to ### Response: holding that the court properly allowed the state to admit the defendants convictions as impeachment evidence once the defendant elicited exculpatory statements through the interrogating officer " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: was justified by an applicable exception to the warrant requirement. State v. Ture, 632 N.W.2d 621, 627 (Minn.2001). The commissioner concedes, and we agree, that no exception to the warrant requirement applies here. We, therefore, conclude that the officer’s entry into the garage is unreasonable. Thus, the fruits of the officer’s warrantless entry, including the ensuing interview and the evidence of intoxication, must be suppressed. The commissioner argues for the first time on appeal that, even if the officer entered Haase’s garage in violation of the warrant requirement, the inevitable-discovery exception to the exclusionary rule applies. See State v. Harris, 590 N.W.2d 90, 105 (Minn.1999); see also Nix v. Williams, 467 U.S. 431, 444, 104 S.Ct. 2501, 2509, 81 L.Ed.2d 377 (1984) ().

Fales, however, is inapplicable to the instant situation. There, the plaintiff originally brought a medical malpractice claim, but failed to attach the requisite expert affidavit. Fales, supra, 263 Ga. App. at 461. The plaintiff instead filed an amended complaint that included an expert affidavit, claiming that OCGA § 9-11-9.1 allowed an amended complaint to cure a failure to file an affidavit. Id. at 461-462. This Court rejected the plaintiff’s argument. Id. at 462; see also Roberson, supra, 302 Ga. App. at 407 ().

To hold otherwise would allow trustees, custodians, and others charged with assets of an estate to act with apparent impunity after confirmation of a plan, subject only to the restraints of moral and state law. Because Congress has given the federal courts exclusive jurisdiction in bankruptcy, we cannot support the thesis that we must rely on state law or the vicissitudes of conscience to further the policies of a confirmed plan. Given the circumstances of this case, the federal court properly exercised jurisdiction under section 153. Notwithstanding the analysis above, a defendant may not allege the absence of an element of the crime to question the jurisdiction of the court once he pleads guilty. See Bartholomew v. United States, 286 F.2d 779, 781 (8th Cir.1961) ().

The first two claims amount to little more than disagreeing with the weight that the sentencing judge afforded to certain aspects of the sentencing factors. This exercise, however, is peculiarly within the sentencing court’s discretion, and Gallardo offers no meritorious reason to interfere with that judgment. See Gall, 552 U.S. at 51-52, 128 S.Ct. 586 (noting that sentencing judge has a judicial vantage point superior to that of the reviewing appellate court); United States v.

At least in cases involving the abuse of young children and the residual exception, the reported decisions do not appear to compel the Government to choose between several witnesses to essentially the same or similar out-of-court statements by the child. Most of those decisions, however, have not made a substantive comparison of the evidence offered, even though it is apparent that multiple sources were admitted at trial.

Because these arguments were not raised in Mr. Watson's opening brief, they are waived. See, e.g., United States v. Benoit, 713 F.3d 1, 12 n. 2 (10th Cir.2013); United States v. Bader, 678 F.3d 858, 894 (10th Cir.2012). 9 . Indeed, Williams is part of our long line of cases rejecting the grant of an ends-of-justice continuance where the district court failed to make any specific ends-of-justice findings. See, e.g., United States v.

Because neither the temporary orders nor the permanent orders in this case expressly state whether Lovejoy’s obligations would continue in the event his ex-spouse died, we look to Colorado law. Colorado has adopted the Uniform Dissolution of Marriage Act (“UDMA”), which states that “[u]nless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in the decree, the obligation to pay future maintenance is termi r. 14, 1996) (same), with Wells v.

That is utter nonsense. In order to make out a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel under Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), a defendant must show not only deficient performance by counsel but also prejudice resulting therefrom. Thus, Paz could not state a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal under the Strickland test until he had suffered the prejudice of losing on appeal. Hence, the date from which the majority should set its clock is the date the appeal became final. Cf. Chicoine v. Bignall, 122 Idaho 482, 835 P.2d 1293 (1992) ().

We reject all three arguments. Agent Sandberg interviewed Herrera after she was arrested. He took rough notes during the interrogation and later compiled a report based on those rough notes. The government gave a copy of the report to Herrera, but did not turn over Agent Sandberg’s rough notes. Under the facts of this case, any error in failing to turn over the rough interview notes would have been harmless because Herrera did not allege that the final police report misrepresented or omitted her statements, nor that it attributed to her any statement she did not make. See Fed.R.Cr.Proc. 16(a)(1)(A) (requiring disclosure of “substance of any relevant oral statement made by the defendant”); United States v. Griffin, 659 F.2d 932, 938 (9th Cir.1982) ().

Furthermore, the Supreme Court, in reversing our decision in Dillingham, substantially altered the ERISA preemption analysis for apprenticeship plans. Consequently, we cannot rely on Smith, but instead must apply the ERISA preemption analysis developed by the Supreme Court in Dillingham to the Oregon needs requirement. See Miller v.

Subjective Symptoms and Credibility When addressing the issue of subjective symptoms, the ALJ recognized that “consideration must be given to subjective allegations.” The ALJ went on to determine that Tuohy’s statements concerning her subjective symptoms were not credible. This finding was based on the inconsistency between Tuohy’s testimony and various medical reports. Specifically, Tuohy stated that she would be unable to work because she is unable to concentrate and she often falls asleep in the middle of conversations. Yet, medical reports show that Tuohy remained alert and mentally clear. In addition, Tuohy was able to concentrate during the hearing and did not fall asleep in the midst of her testimony.

Based on the evidence before it, the court rejected the plaintiffs attempt to assert a classification based on sex and held that “the proper classification, if there was one at all, was the group of persons with whom [the defendant] had or sought to have a romantic affair.” Id. at 1172. Other courts have similarly rejected attempts to label sex-neutral harassment or discrimination as “sex discrimination” or “sexual harassment” merely because it followed the break up of a consensual relationship between a man and a woman.

In the instant case, the District Court imposed civil rather than criminal contempt on Yashinsky because the order compensated the plaintiff for its costs and attorney fees and imposed the daily fine in order to coerce Yashinsky into complying with the subpoena. A court can use its contempt power to punish a party, but using contempt to punish is criminal rather than civil contempt. See id. at 827-28, 114 S.Ct. 2552 (citing Gompers v. Buck’s Stove & Range Co., 221 U.S. 418, 441, 31 S.Ct. 492, 55 L.Ed. 797 (1911)). Civil contempt cannot be converted into criminal contempt at a later stage because an individual charged with criminal contempt is entitled to the full procedural protections afforded a defendant in any other criminal proceeding.

In terms of whether any interests justify the Court’s exercise of its supervisory powers to deny access not only to Dr. Fabian’s report, but also to any other competency reports that will be filed, it is true that mental evaluations and presentence investigation reports are traditionally kept from the public eye during pretrial and trial stages of the criminal proceeding: Presentence reports, which are similar in nature to mental evaluations, due to the sensitive and private information that they include, aré traditionally kept under seal.

Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994), because he was sentenced under Tex. Gov’t Code § 508.149 and thus could not recover good-time credits. Regardless whether Wheeler’s claims were barred under Heck, the district court did not err in dismissing his claims because he did not have a liberty interest in any of the rights of which he was deprived at the hearing.

While Sunoco has cited cases holding that the PMPA preempts various state statutory or common-law claims, those cases do not implicate a federal court’s removal jurisdiction, because the plaintiffs in those cases pled causes of action under both the PMPA and state law in federal court. See, e.g., Shukla v. BP Exploration & Oil, Inc., 115 F.3d 849 (11th Cir.1997) (); Yonaty v.

While Yollin explained that he was still incurring medical expenses, wage loss and pain and suffering and was willing to negotiate, the terms of the letter were an offer of settlement, and Yollin would have been bound if Glendale had accepted the offer.

McCloskey v. Honolulu Police Dep’t, 71 Haw. 568, 799 P.2d 953, 958-59 (1990). Hawaii’s high court relied on the police officers’ diminished expectations of privacy and on its finding that the “testing program [was] not more intrusive than needed” to uphold the Honolulu Police Department’s random testing program.

Carter, 710 F.3d at 182-83 (joining the Third, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth, and D.C. circuits). Applying this test, a later-filed action is not based on the facts of a pending action when it identifies a new defendant who is not a subsidiary of an already-named defendant. See In re Nat. Gas Royalties Qui Tam Litig. (CO2 Appeals), 566 F.3d 956, 962 (10th Cir. 2009) (“The identity of a defendant constitutes a material element of a fraud claim.... ”); see also U.S. ex rel. Hampton v.

This argument overreaches under state law. Superficially, the IRS’s argument is logical. The IRS assessed unpaid employment taxes against the Partnership in 1994, 1995, and 1996. Therefore, under federal law, the IRS has a right to bring proceedings against the Partnership to collect those taxes for up to ten years after assessment, in this case until 2004, 2005, and 2006. 26 U.S.C. § 6502(a)(1). Under California law, general partners such as Debtors are “liable jointly and severally for all obligations of the partnership unless otherwise agreed by the claimant or provided by law.” Cal.

Senate Report, supra, at 1, [1976] U.S.Code Cong. & Ad.News at 5909.

The State court action was removed to federal court. The federal district court dismissed Anderson's claims against Stier and substituted the United States as the defendant pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act. The federal court then dismissed Anderson’s libel, slander and defamation claims based on limitations and dismissed her intentional infliction of emotional distress claim for failure to exhaust her administrative remedies. The Fifth Circuit recently reversed, holding that Stier, not the United States, was the proper party because he was acting outside the scope of his employment when he allegedly defamed her.

The evidence before the district court supports its conclusion that geographic scoping is an original act of selection. Besides BAP-CO’s evidence, Donnelley presented evidence on the uniqueness of its different scoping choice to cover the greater Miami area in two North and South Miami regions. In addition, Donnelley elicited testimony from Louis Sudholz on Donnelley’s decision to cover the geographic region between Dallas and Fort Worth in a “Mid-City” directory. Based on such evidence' of how classified publishers could easily select geographic regions that do not strictly follow the boundaries of cities, it is clear that the selection-of a geographic region is not “practically inevitable.” See Feist, 499 U.S. at -, 111 S.Ct. at 1297, 113 L.Ed.2d at 380 ().

Because the Henrys did not raise such a constitutional challenge, the FDIC has had no opportunity to argue whether the regulation has a rational relationship to a legitimate government interest. It is clear, however, that insuring the deposits of depository institutions while simultaneously setting limits on such insurance by establishing a maximum deposit insurance amount constitutes a legitimate government interest. Requiring the aggregation of deposits maintained by a depositor at a single institution, and limiting insurance for revocable trust accounts to certain categories of beneficiaries, appears to be rationally related to this interest.

But none of these broad powers encompasses the right to reclassify deposits without authorization, where to do so has the effect of zeroing out a depositor’s funds, as occurred here.

FDIC, 32 F.3d 592, 595 (D.C.Cir.1994) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Moreover, a general allegation of statutory authority cannot suffice here; rather, the Court must look to each provision to see whether it affords FDIC-R the authority it claims. Cf.

And, importantly, the controlled buy does not stand on its own; rather, it serves to bolster Compton’s credibility as an informant. “It is enough, for purposes of assessing probable cause, that ‘corroboration through other sources of information reduced the chances of a reckless or prevaricating tale,’ thus providing ‘a substantial basis for crediting the [informant’s] hearsay.’ ” Gates, 462 U.S. at 244-45, 103 S.Ct. 2317 (quoting Jones v. United States, 362 U.S. 257, 269, 271, 80 S.Ct. 725, 4 L.Ed.2d 697 (1960)). By substantiating one detail of Compton’s story — a detail, moreover, unique to Brian Howard’s modus operandi — the controlled buy reduced the chance that Compton’s tip was a “reckless or prevaricating tale.” Id.; see also Gunter, 551 F.3d at 480-81 ().

While federal courts have not interpreted the Interstate Land Sales Act’s contribution clause, the language in Section 1709(d) is virtually identical, in pertinent part, to the contribution clauses in the 1933 Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77k(f), and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 78i(f) & 78r(b), which frequently have been construed by federal courts. Courts interpreting the contribution language in the Securities Acts consistently have found that payment by a potentially liable party is a precondition to that party seeking contribution from a jointly liable party. See, e.g., Asdar Group v. Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro, 99 F.3d 289, 295-96 (9th Cir.1996); Employers Ins. of Wausau v.

We further stated: These amendments explicitly state that a defendant’s criminal history includes “washed out” convictions. Laws of 2002, ch. 107, § 2(13). Further, the legislature directed sentencing courts to consider these previously “washed out” convictions when calculating offender scores if the current version of the SRA requires consideration of that type of conviction.

As a result, we are convinced that the court’s error in failing to instruct the jury to disregard this argument does not require a new trial because, absent the prosecutor’s improper argument, it is clear to us beyond a reasonable doubt that the jury would have returned a guilty verdict anyway.

Three days later, on June 12, the jury found Bui guilty of capital murder and recommended a death sentence. On July 11, 1986, the court accepted the jury’s recommendation and sentenced Bui to death. The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals and the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the conviction and sentence. B.

Further, the three unlitigated claims were nonsuited on February 20, 2015, and had to be refiled within one year. The claims were not refiled. Thus, on March 3, 2016, when appellants filed their motion to dismiss with prejudice the three unlitigated claims, those claims no longer could be litigated by appellees. Accordingly, those three unlitigated claims were no longer a bar to finality, and the court’s May 2, 2016 order denying the motion to dismiss with prejudice the three unlitigated claims constituted a final order from which appellants timely appealed.

If, however, the blood on the box spring is from a mixed sample, i.e., from more than one donor, then defendant cannot be excluded.

The fact that Mr. Gobert filed an Application for Post Conviction Relief/Appeal Out of Time in July 2009 does not change this result. First, although the filing of a state motion for post-conviction relief tolls the § 2244(d)(1)(A) limitations period, see 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2), no tolling occurred here because Mr. Gobert’s state motion for post-conviction relief was filed after the § 2241(d)(1)(A) limitations period had already expired. Fisher v. Gibson, 262 F.3d 1135, 1142-43 (10th Cir. 2001). Second, because the Oklahoma courts denied Mr. Gobert’s request to appeal out of time, these proceedings do not count toward the direct review process for purposes of § 2244(d)(1)(A). See Orange v. Calbone, 318 F.3d 1167, 1170-71 (10th Cir.2003) (). Nor do we find a basis for equitable tolling. ### Response: holding that the granting of an application to file an appeal out of time is considered part of the direct appeal process under oklahoma law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a provision in the Youthful Offender Act which provides that: “[N]o youthful offender shall be committed ... for a substantive violation [of probation] for a period longer than the maximum sentence for the offense for which he or she was found guilty, ... or for a technical or nonsubstantive violation for a period longer than 6 years.” § 958.14, Fla. Stat. (2004). Christian argues that his violation cannot be classified as substantive because the State did not charge and convict him of any new crime related to his illicit drug use. As such, he argues that this violation must be classified as technical or nonsubstantive, and that he could only be sentenced to six years in prison. We reject this argument based upon our precedent in Robinson v. State, 702 So.2d 1346 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997) (). In Robinson, as in this case, the state did ### Response: holding that illicit drug use because it is also a crime constitutes a substantive violation of youthful offender probation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: S.

A Bivens action, discussed in Section III.C infra, would be the cause of action for pursuing such claims against the Federal Defendants individually. 16 . Defendants raised a third argument: Plaintiffs’ apparent failure to administratively exhaust their claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2675(a). (Def.’s Mot. at 22-23). Because there is some doubt as to whether that requirement is jurisdictional, see, e.g., United States v. Wong, — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 1625, 191 L.Ed.2d 533 (2015) (), and because other bars to jurisdiction exist ### Response: holding that provision requiring exhaustion within two years of injury was not jurisdictional and was subject to tolling " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: statute, however, applies to a more restricted class of cases. We observed in Mercedes Lighting and Electrical Supply, Inc. v. Department of General Services, 560 So.2d 272, 277 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990), that the “requirement[s] of rule ll[are] directed at three substantive prongs: the factual basis of the paper, the legal basis of the paper, and its legitimate purpose.” In contrast, section 120.57(1)(b)5 was enacted to punish only the filing of a pleading or paper for an improper purpose. Nevertheless, the similarity between the statute and the rule has prompted us to rely on the federal cases interpreting the rule as persuasive authority. See Mercedes; Procacci; see generally, Department of Prof’l Regulation, Div. of Real-Estate v. Toledo Realty, Inc., 549 So.2d 715 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989) ().

The Proposed Settlement provides that class members may begin submitting claims if and when the Court issues its Final Order and Judgment. Additional benefits would then be provided if and when the Proposed Settlement receives final appellate court approval. Accordingly, the likely complexity and duration of continuing the litigation weighs in favor of approving the Proposed Settlement. C. Class Reaction to the Proposed Settlement Has Been Overwhelmingly Favorable and Weighs in Favor of Class Approval 156. The Court finds that the favorable reaction of the Class and the regulators weighs in favor of approving the Proposed Settlement. See Bell Atlantic Corp., 2 F.3d at 1313-14 n. 15 (); Stoetzner v.

Count VIII alleges a claim for “inducing refusals to deal under the Illinois Antitrust Act.” Although Menasha did not raise a refusal to deal allegation in its Sherman Act claims, the threshold requirement of defining the relevant market is applied with equal force in the context of refusals to deal. See Aspen Skiing Co. v. Aspen Highlands Skiing Corp., 472 U.S. 585, 595, 105 S.Ct. 2847, 86 L.Ed.2d 467 (1985). Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the Court’s discussion of Menasha’s Sherman Act claims, News America is entitled to summary judgment on Counts V-VIII of Menasha’s Complaint. See A & A Disposal and Recycling, Inc. v. Browning-Ferris Industries of Illinois, Inc., 279 Ill.App.3d 337, 215 Ill.Dec. 954, 664 N.E.2d 351 (1996)().

See Tucker v. Angelone, 954 F.Supp. 134, 136 (E.D.Va.1997). In any event, the factual record flatly contradicts any claim of intimidation. Accordingly, Blagman’s claim in this regard fails as well. IV. For the reasons stated above, defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment will be granted and Blagman’s complaint dismissed. As judgment may be entered based on the facts, there is no need to review defendants’ assertion of qualified immunity. An appropriate Order will issue. 1 . Although Blagman has since been released from SDC, thus mooting his claims for injunc-tive relief, his claim for monetary damages remains. See Williams v.

The dispute in the present case involves a claim by a California-based third-party creditor, on property located in California, giving California an interest in the application of its law. 3 . Other community property jurisdictions with statutes similar to A.R.S. § 25-214 also recognize that estoppel principles may apply. See, e.g., Miller v.

See Cullen v. Paine Webber Group, 689 F.Supp. at 277 (decision of arbitration panel addressing the predicate acts underlying RICO claims may be given preclusive effect, providing the elements necessary for preclusion are satisfied); see also Genesco, Inc. v.

Broadnax, 98 Wn.2d at 295. The Terry standard must be met, and that standard requires that the well-founded suspicion be directed at the particular individual to be searched. Here, specific facts cast suspicion on Horrace. It was undisputed that the driver’s movements were made in Horrace’s direction and that Horrace was in close proximity to the suspicious movements. Additionally, the trooper testified that he was concerned that the driver had concealed a weapon in Horrace’s jacket. These facts negate Horrace’s claim that the trooper’s pat-down search was part of a general, routine (and plainly impermissible) practice of patting down passengers after the driver’s arrest.

Thus, the Texas Supreme Court equated the Texas standard for a “knowing and voluntary” prelitigation contractual jury waiver with the “knowing and voluntary” standard utilized in criminal cases like Brady to assess the validity of a defendant’s pretrial waiver of a jury trial via a guilty plea.

MacLean, 952 F.2d at 779. However, Lowe testified that he gave Storch the beat so that Storch could give it to Dr. Dre for a song, and that is exactly what happened. Lowe suggests that the defendants must come forward with evidence other than Lowe’s own testimony to establish a license. However, Lowe fails to realize that his own testimony is evidence that establishes the license necessary to defeat his claim. III. Lowe also challenges the award of attorney’s fees. We review the district court’s order awarding attorney’s fee for abuse of discretion under §§ 505 of the Copyright Act. See also, Gen’l Universal Systems, Inc. v.

Moon, 127 Ill. App. 3d at 658. The parents argued that a parent’s authority, discretion and control in rearing a child should prevail over the Contribution Act. The appellate court disagreed and held that the discretion and control of the parents were already circumscribed by the legislature’s imposition of a specific statutory duty to oversee their child’s actions with respect to the operation of a bicycle. The appellate court also noted that the parent-child immunity doctrine is a doctrine that has been steadily eroded by Illinois courts. Moon, 127 Ill. App. 3d at 661. In other cases, however, the immunity has prevailed over the law of contribution. See Buell v. Oakland Fire Protection District Board, 237 Ill. App. 3d 940, 605 N.E.2d 618 (1992) (); Stephens v.

Not every error caused by a defend ant’s absence requires reversal as these errors are subject to a harmless-error analysis. Id. at 33, 381 S.E.2d at 653. To begin, we consider the instance when defendant was not present for the pretrial conference. On 7 September 1993 the trial court noted for the record that on 3 September 1993 a conference was held at which defendant was not present although his attorneys were.

The Arizona doctrine preserves for appeal issues that “may be so important that overriding considerations concerning the integrity of the system will excuse a party’s failure to raise the issue in the trial court.” State v. Gendron, 168 Ariz. 153, 812 P.2d 626, 628 (1991). Although the Arizona Supreme Court has noted that fundamental error “usually, if not always, involves the loss of federal constitutional rights,” id., Castillo’s mere assertion of fundamental error does not mean he asserted a federal constitutional claim; claims subject to fundamental error review may consist entirely of assertions under Arizona law.

The only detail of the evaluation duty that Section 321(a) provides is that the duty includes ""investigating threatened plant closures or reductions in employment allegedly resulting from [CAA] administration or enforcement.” 42 U.S.C. § 7621(a). However, Section 321(a) explicitly notes that these investigations need only be conducted ""where appropriate,” id., and thereby renders them a matter of agency discretion unreviewable under Section 304(a)(2).

Carpentier, 132 N.H. 123, 128 (1989). Under these circumstances, we conclude that the defendant did not unambiguously assert his right to remain silent or his right to counsel.

Id. § 208.3. Nothing in the record establishes that TCI attempted to appeal the revocation of its permit; therefore, it failed to take advantage of any of the administrative procedures for reviewing the revocation.

However, once an entity undertakes to provide that protection, it is obligated to use reasonable care in providing it. For as long as Riverside Park has been in existence, there has been a fence separating the park from the Jordan River. Guardian Cynthia Stuckman asserts that she reasonably relied upon the integrity of the fence in allowing her son to play alone in the playground. If the jury should choose to believe Stuckman’s assertion, then it could find that either the City, the State, or both breached a duty owed to children playing in the park. This holding is supported by case law in several states. See, e.g., McDaniel v. Sunset Manor Co., 220 Cal.App.3d 1, 269 Cal.Rptr. 196 (1990) (); Lukasiewicz v.

Moreover, to rely on a dictionary definition of an essential element (specifically, the essential element in the alleged crime in this case), is clearly straying from the instructions given by the trial judge.

Code Ann. § 16-17-446(A). Based on the express language of the statute, the Fourth Circuit found that it was content based; the statute made facial content distinctions and thus was subject to strict scrutiny. Cahaly, 796 F.3d at 405. By contrast, the IADMS does not target political speech or any other type of speech. The Plaintiff argues that the IADMS burdens political speech and therefore requires the Court to apply a strict scrutiny analysis. However, the Supreme Court has analyzed content-neutral laws that impact political communications using the time, place, and manner scheme applied to other content-neutral laws.

See Commonwealth v. Parapar, supra at 322.

This court recently rejected the government’s arguments that the United States is not responsible for trail use in Jenkins v. United States, 102 Fed.Cl. 598, 619 (2011). As the Jenkins opinion explains, the Trails Act scheme does not, as the government contends, authorize only that the railway right-of-way will not be deemed abandoned for railroad purposes if the corridor is railbanked.

The reason offered was that Williams had discovered, after pleading guilty, that he had a possible entrapment defense. The district court refused to accept that as grounds for permitting, as a matter of its discretion, the withdrawal of the guilty plea because the entrapment defense was foreclosed by the facts of the case.

We hold that the district court did not err in granting summary judgment to the defendants on Kearney’s age-discrimination claims. Regarding Kearney’s reassignment to the Criminal Unit, the district court held that no evidence supported the element of Kearney’s prima facie case requiring proof of a materially adverse change in the terms and conditions of employment. See Galabya v. N.Y. City Bd. of Educ., 202 F.3d 636, 640 (2d Cir.2000) (setting forth this requirement); Abdu-Brisson v. Delta Air Lines, Inc., 239 F.3d 456, 466 (2d Cir.2001) ().

First, we agree with the former wife that the trial court erred in providing for equal time-sharing without an accompanying finding that such an arrangement is in the best interests of the children. See Jeffers v.

In this case, as in Melvin and not Brouil-lette, it is clear that a shooting had occurred. Mendenhall had been placed at the scene with a gun. Mendenhall was suspected of having a nine-millimeter pistol and two nine-millimeter shell casings had been recovered at the scene. Obtaining and testing Mendenhall's weapon would have resolved the question of whether Mendenhall’s weapon had been fired and, if it had, whether it was the weapon used in the shooting. Cf.

See Abbamont v. Piscataway Township Bd. of Educ., 138 N.J. 405, 420-21, 650 A.2d 958 (1994). The practical implication of these differences, in this case, is that some of the incidents supporting Plaintiffs’ free speech claims may not suffice to survive summary judgment under a CEPA theory. Most notably, Roberts Taylor’s claim that she was put “on the outs” with the heads of the City Attorney’s Office in retaliation for her objections to illegal contracts is not a sufficiently “adverse” act to be actionable under CEPA.

Because the Administrative Order makes each responsible party fully liable for complying with its terms, the Novak Group’s continued payment of remediation costs advances its own self-interests, not simply the interest of the Debtor’s estate. In order to avoid the assessment of civil penalties by the EPA, the remaining members of the Novak Group have no choice— they must continue the remediation efforts irrespective of whether the Debtor participates. When examined from this perspec tive, the Novak Group’s payment is not an actual benefit to the estate directly furthering the Debtor’s reorganization efforts.

Furthermore, Perkins asserts that the district court should have determined the need for the sentence imposed, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2), as well as the kinds of sentences available pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(3).

The threshold question for the circuit court on a motion for removal — whether there is reasonable ground to believe the allegation that the moving party cannot receive a fair and impartial trial in the county in which the action is pending — is a mixed question of law and fact concerning a constitutional right. Accordingly, on appeal, we review that threshold determination de novo. See Glover v.

Instead, such a suit would recover misappropriated trust property for Cannon’s clients, the beneficiaries of the express trust who lost their money upon the collapse of his schemes. Accordingly, because the trustee asserts causes of action in the non-core proceeding alleging harm to the beneficiaries of the express trust, he lacks standing to maintain this suit against Defendants.

Even if one accepts the dissent’s view that the Statute is remedial in the sense that it merely deprives Satterfield of a remedy for her accrued and pending claims against Crown Cork, the Statute would still be unconstitutional because it applies retroactively and fails to provide Satterfield, and other potential claimants, a reasonable time to bring suit after the enactment of the new law and preserve their vested rights.

In applying these rules set forth in Shramek, the court in Seals stated that even assuming the doctor’s statements did constitute a prescribed course of treatment, “the [claimant]’s failure to stop smoking does not necessarily constitute a refusal to follow that prescribed treatment.

Furthermore, in his appellate brief, Tornheim fails even to allege that the State has somehow consented to suit. Additionally, we find unavailing Tornheim’s argument that, because he is challenging the constitutionality of State statutes, his claim escapes the Eleventh Amendment bar. Tornheim cites several Supreme Court decisions to support his argument, including Pennhurst, 465 U.S. at 102-03, 104 S.Ct. 900 (discussing Eleventh Amendment implications where state officials act ultra vires their authority), Edelman v.

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that gen erally, “costs shall be allowed as of course to the prevailing party.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(d). This provision creates “a strong presumption that the prevailing party will be awarded costs.” Schwarz v. Folloder, 767 F.2d 125, 131 (5th Cir.1985) (citing Delta Air Lines, Inc. v. August, 450 U.S. 346, 352, 101 S.Ct. 1146, 1150, 67 L.Ed.2d 287 (1981)). The presumption, however, is not irrebutable. For example, the rule itself confers upon the district court the discretion not to award costs to a prevailing party. Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(d); see Folloder, 767 F.2d at 131-32 ().

Accordingly, this factor provides no guidance in assessing the constitutionality of the award.

In this case, Doe concedes that the officer was justified in stopping him. The state argues that the officer was also justified in conducting a Terry frisk because the encounter occurred at night, the officers were responding to a possible burglary, Doe and his friend were dressed in black, and police had responded to a break-in or burglary report at the church one week prior to this incident. Several jurisdictions have concluded that certain crimes, like burglary, by their very nature are so suggestive of the presence and use of weapons that a frisk is always reasonable when officers have a reasonable suspicion that an individual might be involved in such a crime. See, e.g., United States v. Bullock, 510 F.3d 342, 347 (D.C.Cir.2007) (); United States v.

This is not a tenable reading of the statute, and is indeed contrary to precedent. The Supreme Court cases interpreting the safe harbor make clear that the safe harbor is not limited to acts which only produce information for the FDA but protects all acts, even interim research steps and acts that might produce other useful data, ""as long as there is a reasonable basis for believing that the [act] will produce the types of information that are relevant to [a submission to the FDA].” Merck, 545 U.S. at 208, 125 S.Ct. 2372. We have interpreted this language of the safe harbor to allow alleged infringers to use “data from tests for more than FDA approval,” such as for fund raising and other business purposes. Abtox, Inc. v. Exitron Corp., 122 F.3d 1019, 1030 (Fed.Cir.1997) (). RADER, Chief Judge, dissenting.

Alternatively, it argues that the contract cabins profit to no more than 10% of the reimbursable costs. (See id. (noting that ""the combination of profit and administrative cost must not exceed 10%”).) KRA on the other hand argues that the contract is silent as to profit under hybrid contracts and that therefore such profit is permitted without limits. 6 . In its brief, KRA also seems to broadly challenge all of PWDC’s FY 2009 disallow-ances. But the administrative and indirect cost disallowances are the only ones that KRA points to with any specificity. We therefore find that KRA has failed to preserve its arguments regarding PWDC's other disallow-anees. See Kost v.

In Glus v.

Id. at 231-32, 79 S.Ct. 760. Accordingly, the United States Supreme Court held that if the plaintiff was justifiably misled by the defendant into a good faith belief that he could begin his action outside the statute of limitations, plaintiff was entitled to have the case tried on the merits.

While its description of this process is, charitably speaking, rather opaque, it appears that this involved finding the optimum total cost (including operating costs and incremental and fixed air traffic services costs) for each combination based on the demand elasticity and the difference between price and incremental cost. Subtracting out the operating costs yielded the “Ramsey price” for each category, including both incremental and fixed costs. Significantly, the study noted that “[t]he allocation of those common and fixed costs depends heavily on the overall flight cost.

But in Jones, the Court struck down a one-sided arbitration provision in a short-term loan agreement which allowed the lender to enforce its rights in the circuit court but required the borrower to submit any counterclaims to arbitration. 696 N.W.2d at 220. Only one of the cases plaintiffs cite involves a franchise agreement. In Bolter v. Superior Court, 87 Cal.App.4th 900, 104 Cal.Rptr.2d 888 (2001), the Court struck down an arbitration clause in a franchise agreement that required the California franchisees to arbitrate their claims against the franchisee in Utah. All of the other cases upon which plaintiffs rely, however, involve consumer credit card or purchase agreements. See Coady v.

See 469 U. S., at 126-127. While a criminal defendant, like an employer, need not have knowledge of the law to act “knowingly” or intentionally, he must know that his acts violate the law or must “careless[ly] disregard whether or not one has the right so to act” in order to act “willfully.” United States v. Murdock, 290 U. S. 389, 395 (1933), quoted in Thurston, 469 U. S., at 127. We have interpreted the word “willfully” the same way in the civil context. See McLaughlin v. Richland Shoe Co., 486 U.

Colyer, 99 Wn.2d at 124. However, if the patient’s condition is hopeless and there is “ ‘no reasonable possibility of returning to a cognitive, sapient state,’ the patient’s right of privacy outweighs the State’s interest in preserving life.” Id. at 134 (quoting Superintendent of Belchertown State Sch. v.

Some courts have held that “ERISA qualified” means that a plan satisfies both ERISA and the IRC. However, this approach has been criticized because creditors could reach plan benefits if an employer fails to amend a plan to comply with a change in the tax law. In re Hall, 151 B.R. at 418, n. 17 (quoting Christy & Skeldon at 725). Notwithstanding this possibility, the Hall court held that a plan is “qualified” when it is satisfies both the IRC and ERISA.

While the IJ was mistaken in finding that Kola had backtracked from this testimony (the IJ relied on testimony regarding the previous day’s activities), this limited error does not require a remand: the other findings, particularly the inconsistencies regarding the beating and medical care, make clear that the result would not have changed absent the error.

Indeed, condition of release #5 states that defendant was not to travel outside of Essex, Caledonia, or Orleans counties “without written permission from this Court.” The enlargement of defendant’s travel area to other counties is nothing more than the court granting permission as contemplated by the conditions of release.

PARIENTE, J., concurring. I wholeheartedly concur with the Court’s adoption of the recommendations of the Commission on District Court Performance and Accountability to address ongoing issues of unnecessary delay in dependency and termination of parental rights appeals. The Commission’s recommendations and this Court’s adoption of these amendments are based on the recognition that for every day of delay on appeal, which is added to the length of the prior ongoing court proceedings, the future of the child is in limbo to his or her potential detriment. See, e.g., N.S.H. v. Fla. Dep’t of Children & Family Servs., 843 So.2d 898, 903 (Fla.2003) ().

If AHC's single Sale — five years after the fire — of 1,330 stage-three smoky hats to Outback Traders can somehow be construed as establishing a market for all of AHC’s remaining 17,140 completed, stage-three smoke-damaged hats, the trial court’s judgment could be modified by lowering AHC’s inventory damage award by $1,139,351.23. This figure is computed as follows: by taking the total value of all stage-three smoke-damaged hats — $1,188,539,54, and subtracting the credit already given to Wise Electric to exclude the 1,330 smoky hats sold to Outback Traders from'■ AHC’s inventory damage award — $49,188.31, the total equals $1,139,351.23. 25 .

Ac cordingly, as in Murphy, I find that the administrative limitations period found in the CADA does not apply to employment discrimination claims that are not brought before the CCRC. Additionally, the Tenth Circuit has indicated that claims for wrongful discharge are the most appropriate analogue to ERISA 510 actions. See Myers v.

Justice SAYLOR, dissenting. I would dismiss this appeal as having been improvidently granted. My reasoning follows. In some lines of insurance law decisions, it is difficult to discern the degree to which the courts are applying conventional principles of contract construction or layering doctrinal innovations over salient policy terms based upon practical or equitable considerations. See, e.g., J.H. France Refractories Co. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 534 Pa. 29, 38, 626 A.2d 502, 507 (1993) ().

The Court finds that there are factual disputes regarding whether Kukowski participated in Nathan Smith’s detention and whether she allowed him to remain handcuffed in violation of his constitutional rights. The Court therefore believes that, based on the record before it, summary judgment on Nathan Smith’s claims against Kukowski is not appropriate. A. THERE IS A FACTUAL DISPUTE WHETHER KUKOWSKI PARTICIPATED IN NATHAN SMITH’S DETENTION AND QUESTIONING. As an initial matter, the Court notes that, in their Response, the Plaintiffs make no attempt to dispute Kukowski’s factual assertions that she did not hear, observe, or experience the detention of Nathan Smith in any way, that she did not speak to or question Nathan Smith, (8th Cir.1996) (). “The district court has discretion to go ### Response: holding that the district court has no affirmative obligation to plumb the record to procure material facts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: defenses that may apply or to challenge the amount of the computational adjustment. I.R.C. § 6230(c)(4) (emphasis added). As the United States Supreme Court recognized, the court in a partnership-level TEFRA proceeding is “not required to shut its eyes” to the tax consequences of the court’s decision, even if the “formal adjustment” of the partners tax liability will occur at a subsequent proceeding. See Woods, 134 S.Ct. at 666. The statute of limitations defense successfully raised by BASR in this case was held to be a partnership-level item by our appellate court. See BASR Partnership, 795 F.3d at 1364 (“[T]ax is paid only on the partner’s individual returns, but [a partnership’s] tax treatment is determined and assessed at the partnership level”); see also Keener, 551 F.3d at 1363 (); Prati v.

In concluding that such a factual issue exists, our dissenting colleague relies upon decisions such as Security National Bank v. Educators Mut. Life Ins.

Watson piloted an overcrowded vessel at- a high rate of speed, at night, without any navigational lights on, and then attempted to evade the Coast Guard. That conduct is sufficient to warrant the two-level enhancement. See United States v. Gonzalez, 394 Fed.Appx. 570, 575 (11th Cir.2010) (); United States v.

Where, however, the jury indicates to the court that unanimity was achieved, at some point, on one or more counts, Maryland Rule 4-327(d) points the way for a trial judge to a reasonable alternative to the declaration of a mistrial.

It would be unreasonable to suppose that in the grant to the gas company of the right to use the streets in the laying of its pipes it was ever intended to surrender or impair the public right to discharge the duty of conserving the public health. The gas company did not acquire any specific location in the streets; it was content with the general right to use them; and when it located its pipes it was at the risk that they might be, at some future time, disturbed, when that state might require for a necessary public use that changes in location be made. New Orleans Gaslight Co. v. Drainage Com. of New Orleans, 197 U.S. 453, 25 S.Ct. 471, 473, 49 L.Ed. 831 (1905) ().

Clearly, counsel did not know of Schweer’s contact with a person fitting Gates’ description in the nights preceding Schweer’s murder, including the fact that Schweer caught this individual trying to break into a truck. We conclude Harrington did not have the “essential facts” of the police reports so as to allow the defense to wholly take advantage of this evidence. As the Nevada Supreme Court stated under similar circumstances, “[0]nly access to the documents themselves would have provided the range and detail of information necessary to fully understand the implications of the police investigation.” Mazzan v.

The trial court permitted the reports to be admitted pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Evidence 803(6) as a record of regularly conducted activity. The trial court concluded that “the subjective findings of the examiner are admissible” because they were recorded “for a business purpose and it’s part of a regularly conducted activity.” The Court of Criminal Appeals agreed with the trial court’s analysis in this respect, as do we.

Such cases, naturally, frame their discussion in terms of Congress’ exercise of the purse strings under Article I: The legitimacy of Congress’ power to legislate under the spending power thus rests on whether the State voluntarily and knowingly accepts the terms of the “contract.” There can, of course, be no knowing acceptance if a State is unaware of the conditions or is unable to ascertain what is expected of it. Accordingly, if Congress intends to impose a condition on the grant of federal moneys, it must do so unambiguously. By insisting that Congress speak with a clear voice, we enable the States to exercise their choice knowingly, cognizant of the consequences of their participation.

Finally, the Court must decide whether the contract is enforceable. If the contract is unenforceable, then there is no debt upon which the Plaintiff may maintain its complaint for an exception to the discharge. See Mandalay Resort Group v. Miller (In re Miller), 292 B.R. 409, 412 (9th Cir. BAP 2003) (“Absent an enforceable prepetition debt, there is no debt to except from discharge.”) The answer is found in 37 U.S.C. § 701(c), which states that “[a]n enlisted member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps may not assign his pay, and if he does so, the assignment is void.” 37 U.S.C. § 701(c).

At first blush, both the rationale and method of analysis in preemption cases are straightforward: § 301 was intended “to ensure uniform interpretation of collective-bargaining agreements.” Lingle, 486 U.S. at 404, 108 S.Ct. at 1880. Therefore, preemption will be found only if the application of state law “requires the interpretation of a collective-bargaining agreement.” Id. at 413, 108 S.Ct. at 1885; see also Ackerman v. Western Electric Co., Inc., 860 F.2d 1514, 1517 (9th Cir.1988) (). The question, in sum, is whether “the state ### Response: holding that if the state law claim can be resolved without interpreting the agreement the claim is independent for 301 preemption purposes " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: attorney’s fees (R. at 106), ond brief (bearing ""15” as a handwritten page number) begins mid-sentence, even though the previous page (bearing “14” as a handwritten page number) concluded with the end of its last paragraph. Given this, it appears that Jones may have omitted one or more pages from his brief when he filed it. Jones has not taken any action to correct his brief or otherwise inform the Court of a problem with this filing. 8 . By not challenging the bankruptcy court’s decision to construe the Application as seek-tag to be appointed as special counsel on behalf of the debtor’s bankruptcy estate, and by not addressing § 327(e) in his briefs, Jones has waived any argument on these issues.

Like the district court, we ""believe! ] that Congress has jurisdiction over interstate commerce [ (the Amendments Act's basis for jurisdiction)] just as it has jurisdiction over federal territory.

We address this particular issue of duty of care for a public liability cause of action in greater detail later in the opinion. See infra part II.C. 7 . In supporting his position of unconstitutionality, Mr. O'Conner invites our attention to a number of pre-Amendments Act cases. See, e.g., Stibitz v. General Pub. Util.

R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B)(i). A litigant that fails to comply with Rule 26 “without substantial justification” is barred from having its expert testify at trial ""unless such failure is harmless.” Walter Int’l Prods., Inc. v. Salinas, 650 F.3d 1402, 1410 (11th Cir. 2011) (quoting Prieto, 361 F.3d at 1318 (citations and quotation marks omitted)); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(c)(1). Likewise, a motion for a new trial should not be granted if the error was harmless. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 61; Romero, 552 F.3d at 1324. We have found that the failure to timely disclose all aspects of an expert’s testimony was not prejudicial in circumstances similar to those in the case at bar. See Lakeman v.

We find no merit in appellant’s contentions, each of which is addressed individually. 1. Failure to Object to Victim Impact Testimony. Appellant asserts his counsel should have objected to testimony by the victim and the victim’s family members that was presented before the trial court assessed punishment. Appellant contends that failure to object to a victim impact statement made before sentencing under section 42.03 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure constitutes ineffective assistance of counsel and reversible error. We disagree with appellant because article 42.03 does not restrict the information contained in a PSI report before the pronouncement of sentencing. See Fryer v. State, 68 S.W.3d 628 (Tex.Crim.App.2002) ().

Wood responded that the conviction that was obtained after the first trial was overturned on appeal, and could not be used to enhance a sentence imposed after a separate trial where he did not testify. Wood also argued that the fact that the jury chose not to credit his testimony during the first trial did not render that testimony perjurious. During the sentencing hearing, the district court sustained the government’s objection to the PSI, finding that Wood had given false testimony at his first trial and suppression hearing. The district court relied on United States v. Has No Horse, 42 F.3d 1158, 1159-1160 (8th Cir.1994) ().

We are aware of this Court’s recent suggestion that “this Court necessarily must apply § 2244(b)(2) under a tight time limit in all cases, since the statute expressly requires us to resolve this application within 30 days, no matter the case.” In re Henry, 757 F.3d 1151, 1157 n. 9 (11th Cir.2014). Anything Henry said about § 2244(b)(3)(D) is dicta because it was not necessary to decide the issues then before the Court. See United States v.

Ostrer, 597 F.2d 337, 341 (2d Cir.1979), we have consistently recognized that the right of an accused who retains an attorney to be represented by that attorney is “‘a right of constitutional dimension’ ”, United States v. Wisniewski, 478 F.2d 274, 285 (2d Cir.1973) (quoting United States v. Sheiner, 410 F.2d 337, 342 (2d Cir.1969), cert. denied, 396 U.S. 825, 90 S.Ct. 68, 24 L.Ed.2d 76 (1969)).

Indeed, nothing in the record demonstrates that Ms. Watkins received promotions or any other benefit for which she was not qualified resulting from Mr. Burton’s interactions with Ms. Watkins. Further, Ms. Montgomery offered no evidence to rebut Mr. Kaufman’s statement that Ms. Watkins received a higher level of training as part of a new office policy to remedy the office’s previous failure to adequately train new employees. In sum, Ms. Montgomery’s allegations are “vague, eonclusory or facially insufficient” as to any preferential treatment Mr. Burton afforded Ms. Watkins and fail to trigger the Board’s jurisdiction under 5 U.S.C. § 1221(a). See Johnston, 518 F.3d at 910; Dumas v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 789 F.2d 892, 894 (Fed.Cir.1986) ().

Addressing the temporal proximity, the plaintiff sent the November 2006 letter two months before Ridgely proposed the plaintiffs termination. Def.’s Reply at 21. This district has varied as to whether two months is sufficient to establish a causal connection. See Edwards v. Envtl. Prot.

I cannot conceive that the Legislature intended that the Commission act as a separate forum for the collection of personal injury damages, presumably after hearing from expert medical witnesses on both sides as to the nature and extent of the injury. To vest such extraordinary and indeed unbridled authority in the Commission is quite at odds with the statutory purpose. The Commission, as an administrative agency created by statute, has no inherent powers; its authority cannot reach beyond the warrant provided for it by the statute. See Holy Cross Hosp. v. Health Services, 283 Md. 677, 393 A.2d 181 (1978). See also Gutwein v. Easton Publishing Co., 272 Md. 563, 575-77, 325 A.2d 740 (1974) ().

Gayer argues that she falls under the protection of the Ohio handicap discrimination statute because Continental regarded her as being disabled. She points out that Continental’s refusal to employ her as an ASA was based upon her inability to lift over 40 pounds. According to Gayer, this action constitutes evidence that Continental regarded her as being disabled. We disagree. For “a covered entity [to] entertain misperceptions about the individual-it must either believe that one has a substantially limiting impairment that one does not have or that one has a substantially limiting impairment when, in fact, the impairment is not so limiting.” Sutton v.

Long, 900 F.2d 1270, 1280 (8th Cir.1990) (citing United States v. Garcia, 836 F.2d 385, 390-91 (8th Cir.1987)). We find constitutionally problematic cases “in which the redacted statement alerts the jury to the fact that a name available to the prosecution has been purposely omitted ...

The Plaintiff has not alleged, nor provided any evidence, that the harassing students were acting on behalf of or with authority from SKCS. Therefore, although constructive notice principles properly attach between employer and employee in the Title VII context, they do not attach between the alleged harassing student and the Defendants’ in this Title IX ease. See Rowinsky, 80 F.3d at 1011, n. 11. 4.

One such case was Harle v. Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Bd. (Telegraph Press), 540 Pa. 482, 658 A.2d 766 (1995), where we permitted the suspension of benefits without requiring the employer to establish job availability because the employee returned to a job that was identical to his previous position. In Harle, we reasoned that the application of the job availability requirement would be superfluous because the employee actually returned to employment identical to his pre-injury employment. Id. at 768 (finding that employee’s return to work “obviated the need for employer to produce evidence of job availability”); see also Dillon v. Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Bd.

As the preceding analysis suggests, we reject this characterization. Although the approval of a settlement agreement is superficially at issue, Petitioner’s challenge is directed at the underlying decision to permit the proposed development to proceed. Both the minutes of the February 27, 2002, City Council meeting and the settlement agreement clearly reflect that a development decision pertaining to the Sam’s Club property was made. Such site-specific development determinations are properly classified as quasi-judicial in nature. See W. Old Town Neighborhood Ass’n v.

ANALYSIS A. Motion for Disqualification Vaught argues that the district court improperly denied his Motion for Disqualification of Judges from Middle District of Tennessee. We review a district court’s denial of a 28 U.S.C. § 455(a) motion to disqualify for abuse of discretion. United States v. Sammons, 918 F.2d 592, 599 (6th Cir.1990). Under that statute, a judge “shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” 28 U.S.C. § 455(a). We have defined this to mean that “a judge must recuse himself if a reasonable, objective person, knowing all of the circumstances, would have questioned the judge’s impartiality.” Hughe ir.2002) ().

MBF argues that CNI’s charter has a sue- and-be sued clause, which expressly waives immunity. Some courts have held that a broad sue-and-be-sued clause does waive tribal- ain Ute Tribe, 107 P.3d 402, 407-08 (Colo.Ct.App.2004) ().

A defendant’s failure to do so is essentially a concession that the attorney’s billing rate is reasonable and should be awarded. Here, other than an affidavit regarding paralegal rates, the Board presented absolutely no rebuttal evidence. And while the district court recognized this fact, “[n]otably, ... Defendant has not submitted any affidavits or other evidence to contradict the $275 per hour rate ... and Mr. Howard’s evidence ... remains unrebutted,” it only applied it to the last of the five years in question. This was improper. See Pressley v. Haeger, 977 F.2d 295, 299 (7th Cir.1992) (). B.

AGO also alleges that it has been forced to discriminate in the award of its subcontracts so as to comply with the ordinance, presumably with a loss of profits. Again it fails to cite any specific subcontracts involved. Plaintiff has not alleged specific noneco-nomic harm either. See U.S. v.

In this case, for example, we must consider the McKaskle question that the state court avoided and, in doing so, we consider the “alternative rationale” advanced by the respondents for affirming the Arizona court’s decision. Nevertheless, even on § 2241 de novo review, we would reject an alternative and unrelated legal argument of the type advanced by the respondent in Van Lynn. As with any de novo review, our § 2241 review is confined to the alleged wrong and the actual course of events at trial and on appeal. We cannot invent a constitutional sequence of events to justify that which simply did not happen. Cf. Hirschfield v. Payne, 420 F.3d 922, 928-29 (9th Cir.2005) ().

The “plain view” doctrine is one of the “specifically established and well-delineated exceptions” that may justify a warrant-less seizure. Arizona v.

Therefore, at this stage, the Court must determine whether to accept and be bound to the specific provisions of the Plea Agreement. After careful deliberation, the Court exercises its discretion and declines to accept the Plea Agreement. The Court concludes that two provisions of the Plea Agreement, discussed below, are not in the best interests of justice and do not serve the public’s interests because they do not adequately address Guidant’s history and the criminal conduct at issue. See, e.g., United States v. Greener, 979 F.2d 517, 520 (7th Cir.1992) (). A.

Section 3D 1.2 further provides that “counts involving substantially the same harm shall be grouped.” Use of the word “shall” in the statute indicates that Congress intended grouping to be mandatory if the appropriate requirements are met. See Matter of DP Partners Ltd. Parternship, 106 F.3d 667, 670-71 (5th Cir.1997); see also Manatee County, Fla. v. Train, 583 F.2d 179 (5th Cir.1978) ().

A similarly longstanding axiom is that the compulsory counterclaim rule is designed to foreclose the possibility of duplicative litigation.

Schmidt could reasonably believe that sexual discrimination against his wife, who was not an employee of the Cheverly Police De- partment, could constitute an employment discrimination claim under Title VII. Although a retaliation claim may lie in the case of “third-party retaliation,” the cases that have allowed such claims involved cases where both the person filing the discrimination complaint and the person adversely affected were employees or former employees of the same company. See, e.g., Thompson v. N. Am. Stainless, LP, 562 U.S. 170, 178, 131 S.Ct. 863, 178 L.Ed.2d 694 (2011) (). By contrast, in Reece v.

The parties did not agree on an amount, they set no formula, and they did not even relate Murchison’s review to profitability. Moreover, testimony as to the amounts Neeley received as bonuses in two previous years hardly establishes a course of dealing which would justify an inference that review of the bonus portion of the package would generate a similar bonus in years to come. Such evidence certainly demonstrates nothing about the salary component of the package. Even.assuming that the parties intended the promise to carry legal force, therefore, its lack of definiteness deprived the jury of a basis for enforcing it. The district court properly held it unenforceable. See Douglass v. Panama, Inc., 504 S.W.2d 776, 778 (Tex. 1974) (). C.

A clerical error amendment can correct a discrepancy between the oral pronouncement of sentence and the written sentencing order. However, the clerical error provisions cannot be invoked when no clerical error appears in the contemporaneous pronouncement of sentence and execution of the written sentencing order, and the claim of clerical error is based on the State’s desire to change from the agreed “unconditional discharge” disposition. That disposition, imposing an unconditional discharge and terminating probation, occurred in March 2003. Any subsequent effort to change that disposition, reinstate Forbis’s probation, and find a probation violation based on events occurring after March 2003, was invalid. See State v.

Finally, as to attorney’s fees, the husband was ordered to pay the wife’s attorney $500 per month until he had paid the full $38,000 that the court found was owed. No interest was ordered on the fee obligation. ATTORNEY’S FEES The only evidence with regard to the wife’s attorney’s fees was the wife’s testimony that she lacked the ability to pay her own fees, which she placed at “about $38,000.” The trial court found that the wife’s attorney’s fees of $38,000 were reasonable and that the wife had a need for fees and the Husband had the ability to pay the fees. The court made no findings as to the number of hours reasonably expended or an hourly rate. The court’s failure to make those findings was error. See Abernethy v. Fishkin, 638 So.2d 160 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994) (), disagreed with on other grounds, Kelson v. ### Response: holding that reversal is required where a trial court fails to make specific findings as to the reasonable number of hours expended and the reasonable hourly rate as mandated by florida patients compensation fund v rowe 472 so2d 1145 115051 fla1985 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: added.) It is undisputed that Hoy gave notice of his claim for compensation to the attorney for Alpha Corporation, and that the Alpha Corporation attorney understood this claim to extend not only to judgments, but also to all “money due,” including settlement proceeds. Consequently, Hoy satisfied the statutory notice requirements for establishing an attorney’s lien. Second, although at least one jurisdiction requires counsel to bring a separate action against his client to enforce an attorney’s lien, Neilson v. Neilson, 780 P.2d 1264 (Utah Ct.App.1989), we align ourselves with the majority of jurisdictions which hold that an attorney’s lien may be enforced either through a separate action or incident to the underlying litigation. See Gee v. Crabtree, 192 Colo. 550, 560 P.2d 835 (1977) (); Plaza Shoe Store, Inc. v.

Second, the DOC and CIA invoke § 6 of the Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1949, 50 U.S.C. 403g, exempting the CIA from any law that requires publication or disclosure of the organization or function of the CIA, or any information with r Government Act, 5 U.S.C. app. § 107(a)(2), which prohibits public disclosure of government employees’ reports to supervising ethics offices.

Nevertheless, reasonable judges make mistakes sometimes, even big, unreasonable mistakes. In those situations, the Supreme Court has not hesitated to grant habeas relief. See, e.g., Abdul-Kabir v. Quarterman, 550 U.S. 233, 259, 127 S.Ct. 1654, 167 L.Ed.2d 585 (2007) (concluding Texas Court of Criminal Appeals’ resolution of petitioner’s claim was not a reasonable application of Supreme Court precedent); Miller-El v.

D. Ct. Op. at 27 n. 17. The court found that even though Michigan Compiled Laws § 750.337 (criminalizing indecent language in the presence of women or children) had been invalidated by the Michigan Supreme Court, other statutes, criminalizing conduct for which Leonard had not been charged, supported the arrest, viz., §§ 750.103 (swearing), 750.170 (disturbing a meeting), and 750.167 (disorderly person). Therefore, based upon these statutes, Robinson had probable cause to arrest Leonard because he had violated the plain language of those statutes and Robinson was “to enforce laws until and unless they are declared unconstitutional.” D. Ct. Op. at 12. See also Devenpeck v. Alford, 543 U.S. 146, 153, 125 S.Ct. 588, 160 L.Ed.2d 537 (2004) ().

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 duty 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, léss 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 ().

Ford Motor Co., 952 ### Response: holding that punitive damages do not need to be proportional to compensatory damages " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Ford, the Estate says it is clear that the release extinguished the liability of the driver, Henry. In the instant case, the lack of a release discharging Henry (or his estate) from liability as a joint tortfeasor is not fatal to a finding of good faith. “The Contribution Act does not set forth a specific form that a release must take and does not even require the release to be in writing.” Lard v. AM/FM Ohio, Inc., 387 Ill.App.3d 915, 327 Ill.Dec. 273, 901 N.E.2d 1006, 1016 (2009). Given the per person limit for bodily injury coverage on the Hartford policy, Evelyn’s release of Hartford’s liability for uninsured motorist coverage in exchange for the full policy limits achieved the same result as a release of Henry from tort liability. See Lard, 327 Ill.Dec. 273, 901 N.E.2d at 1016 ().

The court does not weigh the evidence to determine the truth of the matter, but rather to determine if the evidence creates a genuine issue for trial. Sagan, 342 F.3d at 497 (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 249, 106 S.Ct. 2505). III. DISCUSSION A necessary element of each of Plaintiffs claims against the City is a showing that an employment relationship existed between her and the City. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a) (Title VII); Morris v. Oldham Cnty. Fiscal Ct., 201 F.3d 784, 795 (6th Cir.2000) (observing that “Congress chose to limit Title VII liability to employers only”); 42 U.S.C. § 12111(5)(A) (ADA); Swallows v. Barnes & Noble Book Stores, Inc., 128 F.3d 990, 992 (6th Cir.1997) (); Mich. Comp. Laws § 37.2202(1) (ELCRA); ### Response: holding that in order to establish liability under the ada the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant was an employer within the meaning of the statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that courts are sharply split on whether the exception for statements respecting the debtor’s financial condition should be interpreted broadly or narrowly. Id. at 112-13 (collecting cases). “A broad interpretation would include any statement that reflects the financial condition of the debtor. On the other hand, a narrow interpretation would find that a statement relates to financial condition only when it provides information ‘as to [a debtor’s] overall financial health.’ ” Id. at 112 (internal citations omitted). 56. Several courts have addressed whether certain statements speak to the overall financial health of the debtor sufficient to satisfy the narrow interpretation of the exception. See id. at 113 (citing Weiss v. Alicea (In re Alicea), 230 B.R. 492, 504 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.1999) (); In re Sansoucy, 136 B.R. 20, 23 ### Response: holding that statement about debtor lacking present ability to pay was essentially statement of insolvency " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the omission affected his substantial rights.

Therefore, Brown has not shown plain error. AFFIRMED. * Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4. 1 . See Puckett v.

See S.C. Const, art. I, § 10 (“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures and unreasonable invasions of privacy shall not be violated.... ”). While our constitution’s privacy provision does not transform a purported privacy interest into a fundamental right for purposes of applying the strict scrutiny test, I believe it does inform the analysis of whether a state law is arbitrary and lends addition al support to the conclusion that section 23-3-540(0 is unconstitutional. Cf. State v. Weaver, 374 S.C. 313, 649 S.E.2d 479 (2007) (). Therefore, I concur in result to reverse and ### Response: holding that by articulating a specific prohibition against unreasonable invasions of privacy the people of south carolina have indicated a higher level of privacy protection than the federal constitution " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: medical examiner must furnish “full description of the effects of disability upon the person’s ordinary activity”). The Court holds that medical evidence is required to support this criterion of a 40% disability rating — regulation of activities. The next question for the Court is whether there is a plausible basis for the Board’s findings that “there is no medical evidence that the veteran’s activities are restricted” and, therefore, a higher initial disability rating of 40% is not warranted under DC 7913. R. at 8; see Johnston v. Brown, 10 Vet.App. 80, 84 (1997) (applying established caselaw that degree of disability under the rating code is a finding of fact subject to the “clearly erroneous” standard of review by this Court); Gilbert v. Derwinski, 1 Vet.App. 49, 53 (1990) (). This question turns on whether there is ### Response: holding that when court applies the clearly erroneous standard court may not reverse boards finding of fact if after court reviews the record in its entirety the finding is supported by a plausible basis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: contracts. We hold that Act No. 26 substantially impairs the contractual relationship by mandating that all CGL policies be legislatively amended to include a new statutory definition of occurrence and by applying this mandate retroactively. While the dissent believes the new provision merely clarifies existing law, we find the statute fundamentally changes the definition of occurrence. In Newman, this Court suggested “that a CGL policy may provide coverage where faulty workmanship causes third party bodily injury or damage to other property besides the defective work product” leaving open the possibility there may be instances where coverage might not be provided. 385 S.C. at 193, 684 S.E.2d at 544 (emphasis added); see also Crossmann, 395 S.C. at 50 n. 6, 717 S.E.2d at 594 n. 6 ().

In fact, a vast majority of classes that meet the requirements of rule 23(b)(1)(B) inevitably will satisfy the rule 23(b)(3) requirements. 1 Newberg on Class Actions § 4.01, at 4-5. Due process does not turn on such formalistic distinctions. C. The Distinction Between Law and Equity. The majority’s argument that applying Shutts to rule 23(b)(1) would render all mandatory class actions unconstitutional, is also premised on a faulty understanding of the distinction between law and equity. See maj. op. at 987 n. 16. What the majority fails to acknowledge is that the distinction between money damages and equitable remedies preserves mandatory class actions in the vast majority of cases, including traditional common fund cases from equity. See Newberg on Class Actions § 1.18, at 1-46 (). The only cases affected by Shutts are modern ### Response: recognizing that the majority of actions that meet the requirements of rule 23b1 seek equitable relief " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: not purchase the homes as businesses. The defendants have the better argument. The thrust of the complaint is that the plaintiffs’ investment in rental properties in Detroit resulted in a loss to them, either because the defendants misrepresented the condition of the properties and the likely rate of return or they breached their contracts. Under Michigan law, “if an item is purchased primarily for business or commercial rather than personal purposes, the MCPA does not supply protection.” Zine v. Chrysler Corp., 236 Mich.App. 261, 273, 600 N.W.2d 384, 393 (1999); see also MacDonald v. Thomas M. Cooley Law Sch., 880 F.Supp.2d 785, 792 (W.D.Mich.2012). Moreover, the MCPA does not apply to investors. Quartell v. Great Lakes Bancorp, 183368, 1996 WL 33347624 (Mich.Ct.App. Dec. 17, 1996) (). The plaintiffs have failed to state a valid ### Response: holding that the mcpa does not apply to property purchased for investment purposes " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: transferred Woodbridge to Friendship in 2000, Friendship continued to operate Woodbridge as a public school. We agree with Friendship and the trial court. This case is controlled by the principle that municipal property devoted to a public use may not be acquired by adverse possession and the doctrine of nullum tempus occurit regi (“no time runs against the sovereign”) is directly applicable. During the time the District owned the Woodbridge property, it held title in its governmental capacity and operated it as a public school. Thus, the Woodbridge property was dedicated to a public use and could not have been acquired by private landowners by prescription. Town Comm’rs of Centreville, supra, 87 A.2d at 601; see also Lysicki v. Montour Sch. Dist., 701 A.2d 630 (Pa.Commw.Ct.1997) (). There is no hint in this record that the ### Response: holding no private landowner can adversely possess property of the school district because school districts are agents of the commonwealth and are therefore immune from the running of time against them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 100 S. Ct. 1870, 1877 (1980). In deciding whether a seizure has occurred, a court considers whether “if, in view of all of the circumstances surrounding the incident, a reasonable person would have believed that he was not free to leave.” Mendenhall, 446 U.S. at 554, 64 L. Ed. 2d at 509, 100 S. Ct. at 1877; see People v. Murray, 137 Ill. 2d 382, 390 (1990) (approving the use of the Mendenhall standard). As a general rule, all seizures must be reasonable, and the reasonableness of a seizure depends on a balance between the public interest and the individual’s right to personal security free from arbitrary interference from law enforcement officers. United States v. Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S. 873, 878, 45 L. Ed. 2d 607, 614-15, 95 S. Ct. 2574, 2578-79 (1975); see Gonzalez, 184 Ill. 2d 402 (). Thus, a person may not be seized unless there ### Response: holding that it is reasonable for a law enforcement officer to order a passenger to stay at the scene of a traffic stop because the public interest in officer safety outweighs the minimal intrusion to that passengers liberty interest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: speedy-trial argument to be disingenuous due to his seven requests for continuance. ¶ 46. Although Bateman’s requests for continuance caused the most significant delay to Bateman’s trial date, this Court has held that well-taken motions for continuance may justify delay in a criminal trial. Flora v. State, 925 So.2d 797, 815 (Miss.2006). This period must be subtracted from the total period of the delay. See Taylor, 672 So.2d at 1259. Therefore, the State is left with an unexplained 380-day delay in this case, representing the time between his arrest and his first motion for continuance. This period does not include the 120-day continuance ordered sua sponte by the trial court, which was justified and will not count against either side. We must weigh this factor in Bate-man’s (). ¶ 49. This Court has held that a defendant’s ### Response: holding that defendants assertion of his right to a speedy trial two months before his trial began did not satisfy 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: of Torts § 159.

Section 6901 of the Internal Revenue Code authorizes the IRS to proceed against the transferees of delinquent taxpayers to collect unpaid tax debts. But the statute provides only a procedural device for proceeding against a taxpayer’s transferee. See Comm’r v. Stern, 357 U.S. 39, 42-43, 78 S.Ct. 1047, 2 L.Ed.2d 1126 (1958) ().

Safeco also maintains that it did properly object to the dismissal of the complaint even though it was not required to do so. We find both of Safeco’s contentions to be without merit. This court has previously held that a defendant must object to a plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal, pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-41, to preserve a counterclaim capable of independent adjudication, HardwickMorrison Co. v. Mayland, 206 Ga. App. 426 (425 SE2d 416) (1992), and to provide plaintiff with notice that it intends to pursue its counterclaim.

Even when amassed, DENSO Japan’s contacts simply are not “continuous and systematic general business contacts” sufficient to support general jurisdiction. See PHC-Minden, 235 S.W.3d at 171.

The government introduced evidence of several threats Sampson made to correctional officers and others after he was charged in this case. Although a close question, the evidence of possession of a “shank” both before and after the murders, an attempted escape from prison, and threats to correctional officers and others, examined in the light most favorable to the government, was sufficient to permit a rational jury to conclude, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Sampson was likely to commit criminal acts of violence in the future which would be a continuing and serious threat to the lives and safety of prison officials and inmates.

(See Defs.’ Opp. Mem. at 51 (“Defendants violated GBL § 349 and similar state consumer protection laws by demanding and collecting the Disputed Fees when they were not owed by Class members.”).) Cedeno is plainly distinguishable, because plaintiff has asserted that specific contractual provisions have been breached when the Disputed Fees were collected from plaintiffs, and thus the GBL § 349 cause of action does not seek to “set substantive standards or establish particular requirements for lending operations in the state of New York.” Binetti, 446 F.Supp.2d at 220; see also Cassese MTD Opinion at 31-33 ().

(Defs.’ Counterclaims [5] at ¶¶ 154-156.) This claim is based on plaintiffs failure to pay proceeds pursuant to the terms of Grongie’s life insurance policies. (Id.) Georgia law is clear that a claim for conversion “does not lie on account of a mere failure to pay money due under a contract.” Morris v. Nat’l W. Life Ins.

If these requirements are met, the court will exercise its discretion to correct the error only if it “seriously affects the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.” Id. at 1126-27 (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted). We conclude that the district court did not err in imposing the special condition. See United States v. Carpenter, 702 F.3d 882, 884-885 (6th Cir.2012) ().

The term “firearm” does not include an antique firearm unless the antique firearm is used in the commission of a crime. A firearm is, by definition, a deadly weapon because it is designed to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive which is likely to cause death or great bodily injury. If the firearm is discharged or it is used to put the victim in fear to commit an aggravated assault or a robbery, it is a deadly weapon as a matter of law. This is true regardless of whether the firearm is loaded or capable of being fired. See Waldo v. State, 728 So.2d 280, 281 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999), quashed on other grounds, 759 So.2d 674 (Fla.2000) (noting that in Miller v.

Alexander, 477 Pa. 190, 383 A.2d 887, 889-90 (1978). The evidence in this case was that Christina knocked the victim down with a punch in the face and then kicked him in the face while he was down. Because the victim’s only arguably “serious” injuries were to the trunk and legs, Christina himself—as opposed to his codefendants—may not actually have caused the “serious” injury. Nonetheless, considering the circumstances of the assault (three attackers against one victim who was soon lying on the ground), we cannot say that the evidence of Christina’s acts during the assault is insufficient to support a jury finding that he intended to inflict serious bodily injury on his victim. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 324, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979) ().

See also Angus Chemical Co. v. IMC Fertilizer, Inc., 939 S.W.2d 138 (Tex. 1997) (per curiam). In other words, State Farm’s duty is to pay its insured; third parties can recover proceeds under the policy only insofar as their rights derive from Fullerton’s right to recover proceeds. Thus, although Texas courts have not yet decided specifically whether tort plaintiffs who seek insurance funds are in privity with an insured who pleads guilty to murder, we hold that under Texas law the Buckners are in privity with Fullerton because of the derivative nature of their recovery under the policy. This result places Texas among the bulk of other jurisdictions that have considered the question. See, e.g., Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co. v. Jones, 220 Conn. 285, 596 A.2d 414, 421, 425 (1991) (); Tradewind Ins. Co. v.

In the case at bar, the evidence does not support plaintiffs allegation that the Massey defendants were “debt collectors” under the § 1962a(6) general definition. Plaintiff does not argue that the “principal purpose” of Shapiro & Massey is the collection of debts, but he does contend that the law firm, and Gary Massey, regularly collect or attempt to collect debts, and hence qualify as debt collectors.

Palmer and FNB are the named defendants in this adversary proceeding brought by the trustee to determine the validity, priority, and extent of defendants’ liens, as well as to avoid certain allegedly fraudulent transfers.

Thus, we conclude and hold that Chassidie’s and her counsel’s mere signatures alone on the July 19, 2006 associate judge’s report do not constitute an agreed order conferring standing on the Harveys prior to their filing pleadings in intervention.

Where, as here, a defense witness’s claim of privilege shields material testimony from cross-examination, however, this balance weighs against the defendant. The trial court held a voir dire hearing to determine whether the subject matter concerning which the witness intended to assert the Fifth Amendment was collateral. She fairly concluded that it was not. See Fed.R.Evid. 611(b) (giving court authority to exercise reasonable control over examination of witnesses to “make the interrogation and presentation effective for the ascertainment of the truth”).

Fitzen, 80 F.3d 387, 389 (9th Cir. 1996) (motion for return of property may be defeated by demonstrating that the property is subject to forfeiture). Contrary to Griffin’s contentions, Griffin cannot bring his request under 5 U.S.C. §§ 702 and 704, or 28 U.S.C. §§ 1491 and 1495. The district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to exercise its equitable jurisdiction because the forfeiture was part of Griffin’s conviction and sentence, and Griffin had adequate remedies at law.

The State argues that in order to commit a robbery, one must first attempt to commit a robbery. We recognize the facial logic in the State’s argument. However, a comparison of the elements of an attempt to the elements of a completed robbery shows that by finding that Harris committed the robbery, the jury could not have found all of the actual elements of an attempted robbery. Elements of a robbery include that the defendant took property from the person or custody of the victim and that the property was of some value. See Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 15.1. An attempt is a category two lesser included offense of robbery. See id.; see also Wilson v. State, 635 So.2d 16, 17 (Fla.1994) ().

These prohibitions include the use of “firearmfs],” “firework[s],” “explosive[s]” and “set[ting] fire to a combustible.” See 40 U.S.C. § 6134. After the “combustible” clause, the statute’s language shifts to “make a harangue or oration,” and “utter loud, threatening, or abusive language.” Id. These sundry prohibitions are not merely various noises — they all tend to disrupt the Court’s operations. That concern should illuminate the construction of “harangue” and “oration.” See Grayned v.

The primary jurisdiction rule, see supra note 12, requiring that a physician whose privileges have been denied or terminated file an initial complaint with the PHC is subject to several narrow exceptions. The first exception is that the physician does not have to file a complaint with the PHC in cases wherein the physician’s privileges have been terminated for reasons that do not pertain to medical care, and therefore do not invoke “the particular expertise of the PHC.” Tassy v.

The statute renders liable “any person who” submits false claims to the federal government. 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a). The FCA does not define the term “person” as used in § 3729(a). However, the civil investigative demand provision of the act includes in its definition of person “any State or political subdivision of a State.” 31 U.S.C. § 3733(1)(4). In addition, courts have interpreted the statute to include states among the “person[s]” who may file qui tam actions under § 3730(b). See, e.g., United States ex rel. Stevens v.

Moreover, in State Farm’s view, the certification of the nationwide class violated Illinois’ choice-of-law rules, as well as the full faith and credit clause, the due process clause, and the commerce clause of the federal constitution. A determination by this court that the Consumer Fraud Act does not apply, by its own terms, to the out-of-state transactions at issue in this case would render it unnecessary to address State Farm’s choice-of-law and constitutional arguments.

First, skipping over Weber constitutes more than a de minimis expense because this unduly burdens his co-workers, with respect to compensation and “time-off’ concerns. As the district court found, skipping over Weber to avoid pairing with a female driver may adversely affect other drivers. For example, the run Weber passes up might lead his substitute to accept a shorter run than she might otherwise, which provides less compensation and is therefore less valuable. Weber’s substitute might also receive less rest and time off between runs than he or she might otherwise. See Cook v. Chrysler Corp., 981 F.2d 336, 338 (8th Cir.1992) ().

On April 15, 2008, when the Clerk of Court received Thomas’ complaint, Thomas was entitled to the benefit of constructive exhaustion under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(C). The FDA’s letter demanding pre-payment of the search fees came too late; Thomas had already submitted his complaint for filing. And, in any case, the FDA’s letter dated April 16, 2006 still did not satisfy the requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i) and (ii), and would have failed to revive the exhaustion requirement even if Thomas had received it before filing suit.

Thus, even though Williams’ § 1983 claim arises from the same incident as her tort claims, and even though her original complaint was filed within two years of that incident, her § 1983 was time-barred because the tort claims were not timely filed. Williams argues, however, that the defendants waived their limitations defense to all her claims by not asserting it in their answer to the second amended complaint or at any other time during the next twenty months. This argument of course is frivolous with respect to her § 1983 claim insofar as the defendants moved to dismiss that claim as soon as Williams amended her complaint to add it. See Massey v. Helman, 196 F.3d 727, 735 (7th Cir.1999) ().

In those circumstances, state contract law, not the federal regulations, would govern the resolution of contract-related questions, such as whether a contract was formed, what terms the parties agreed to, and whether the contract was breached. See, e.g., Fair, 148 F.Supp.2d at 626 (“While federal regulations authorize the existence of payphone compensation contracts, whether the specific agreements at issue in the present case are illegal will be determined by state law.”). As in the context of ratemaking, where private contracts have replaced rigid rate prescriptions, state contract laws provide a background that is not only consistent with, but is integral to, the market-based mechanism of the federal regulations.

Given that the event and attendance range in the 2005 Report was based on objectively verifiable demographic data, a fact-finder could conclude with reasonable certainty that the Event Center would be unable to generate much more than about 105 events and 320,000 attendees in a given year. See Convergent, 948 F.2d at 516 (emphasis added). This is especially the case given the data from the more conservative 2001 Feasibility Study. Nonetheless, despite the fact that several of the Defendants specifically commissioned these studies, or were intimately aware of their contents, the Official Statements, perhaps unreasonably, projected a substantially higher annual number of events (133) and attendees (480,000).

To the extent Plaintiffs are challenging the district court’s decision to decertify the post-2000 compensation discrimination class, the district court did not abuse its discretion because the named Plaintiffs concede that they do not have standing with regard to the post-2000 claim.

Moreover, the Supreme Court’s decision in Kimbrough, standing alone, did not provide the court with authority to reduce Lawson’s sentence. See Moreno, 421 F.3d at 1220-21. Although Lawson argues that the court incorrectly found that he qualified as a career offender, and that his sentence violates the Eighth Amendment, both of these issues lay outside the limited scope of a § 3582(c)(2) proceeding, and the court lacked authority to address these arguments. See Bravo, 203 F.3d at 781-82. AFFIRMED. 1 . Moreover, we note that Lawson did not raise the issue of whether he was incorrectly sentenced as a career offender until he filed his reply brief. Accordingly, even if this argument were meritorious, we would not address it. See Timson v.

The ADA allows an employer to adjust the workplace environment on a case-by-case basis, adopting only those changes that are reasonably necessary to refrain from discriminating against the disabled individual or individuals in question. The ADA hardly broke new ground when it incorporated this type of affirmative duty. The Equal Protection Clause often requires states to take affirmative measures to eliminate or prevent discriminatory systems. For example, states with racially discriminatory reapportionment plans must redraw their congressional districts. See, e.g., Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630, 652, 113 S.Ct. 2816, 125 L.Ed.2d 511 (1993) ().

The use of “has” indicates that MCL 324.30101(r) refers to landowners who already possess riparian rights—it does not extend riparian rights to new groups of property holders. In addition, the statute nowhere mentions that it abrogates the common law, nor does it evince intent to do so.

The cognizable public interest in judicial records which underlies the “compelling reasons” standard does not exist for documents produced between private litigants.

State, supra, there is nothing in the decision which indicates the demise of such requirements. Logic would seem to indicate that the five Derrickson foundational requirements of admissibility remain viable after Delaware’s adoption of its Uniform Rules of Evidence. This is so since such evidence can be most prejudicial unless safeguards are maintained. The scholarly opinion by Judge MacKinnon in United States v. Brown, 490 F.2d 758 (D.C.Cir.1973) highlights the need for a showing of substantial relevance before such evidence may be admitted: The threshold requirement of admissibility of such hearsay statements of fear of defendant in homicide cases is some substantial degree of relevance to a material issue in the case.

Ecuador further criticizes the revenue rule as incongruous with the act of state doctrine. This Court does not find such incongruity.

The Sentencing Guidelines do not place an explicit time limit on the previous activities that a court may consider in finding a “pattern of activity,” and there appears to be no case support for the proposition that previous events can be too remote in time to amount to a pattern. While this court has not addressed the “remote in time” question in a prece-dential opinion, other courts have addressed this issue. See United States v. Gawthrop, 310 F.3d 405, 414 (6th Cir.2002) (“Nothing in § 2G2.2(b)(4) or its current commentary requires a temporal nexus between any instances of sexual abuse or exploitation.”); United States v.

J.M.M. has been in placement for over twenty-seven months. Given Father’s failure to perform parental duties and given that he has been unable to remain out of jail for any period of time, we agree with the trial court in terminating his parental rights. The termination was supported by clear and convincing evidence in the record. ¶ 14 Father’s third and fifth allegations assert that the trial court erred in terminating his parental rights when he did not have assistance of counsel. How ever, after reviewing Father’s brief, we find that he has not made a colorable argument on appeal. Therefore, we find that this argument is waived, and we will not address this issue. Cf.

The business organizations code does not define “actually incur” or “incur,” nor do any of the parties point us to any caselaw definitions that would guide our analysis. We have not located any cases analyzing “actually incurred” as used in section 8.102(a)(2), but we note that the supreme court has addressed a provision in chapter 74 of the civil practice and remedies code that contains similar language.

The fact that Brown signed a number of documents indicating that she was purchasing the vehicle “as is” did not relieve K & V of its obligation to disclose to her that the vehicle was a salvage vehicle in accordance with § 32-8-87(p).

The opportunity to participate in the investigation of the DOE’s OIG and submit a written rebuttal is no substitute for the opportunity to test adverse evidence and cross examine witnesses during a hearing. “[T]he primary function of the investigator is not to make credibility determinations, but rather to determine simply whether reasonable cause exists to believe that the employee has been discharged for engaging in protected conduct.” Brock, 481 U.S. at 266, 107 S.Ct. 1740. Additionally, a written rebuttal does not permit the fact-finder to assess the credibility of a witness. See id. ().

This significant textual change does not suggest that courts should interpret OPA’s claims provision as having the same scope as CERCLA’s. On the contrary, the change in the text, combined-with evidence that Congress was aware of CERC-LA when it enacted OPA, suggests that Congress intended the change in OPA’s language to have substantive consequences and purposely rejected the CERCLA approach limiting the presentation requirement to those claims asserted against the Fund. See Brown, — U.S. at-, 115 S.Ct. at 556; NRA, — U.S. at-, 115 S.Ct. at 541-42. Appellants’ invocation of the doctrine of reading statutes in pari materia is misplaced. While it is true that similar statutes should be read consistently, see, e.g., Morales, 504 U.S. at 384 26 F.2d 1096, 1097 (11th Cir.1991) ().

Mr. Desselle argues that he only has to prove to this Court that the services provided were reasonable and necessary pursuant to section 330(a). However, a fee application which sets forth with specificity the exact nature of the services rendered, the time expended, and the expenses incurred is a prerequisite to this Court making a determination that the services were reasonable and necessary.

Our decision in United States v. Murillo, 255 F.3d 1169 (9th Cir.2001), does not require a different result. Murillo did not involve expert testimony about the struc ture of drug trafficking organizations. Rather, Murillo involved “unknowing drug courier” modus operandi testimony — expert testimony that drug traffickers do not routinely entrust large quantities of drugs to people who are unaware that they are transporting them. Id. at 1176. In that case, we held that “unknowing drug courier” testimony was admissible in a drug possession case involving over one million dollars worth of methamphetamine and cocaine to attack the defendant’s defense that he was “simply an unknowing courier.” See id. at 1176-77; see also United States v. Campos, 217 F.3d 707, 712 (9th Cir.2000) (); United States v.

In this case, the trial judge found, based upon Bess’s Rule 60, SCRCP, motion, that Bess should be afforded an opportu nity to be heard on his objections to registration of the Florida order even though he did not file a response within the twenty-day time period. Because there was no appeal from that order, it is the law of the case. Resolution Trust Corp. v. Eagle Lake & Golf Condominiums, 310 S.C. 473, 475, 427 S.E.2d 646, 648 (1993) ().

There is a separate and independent basis upon which we can be assured that we do have appellate jurisdiction with respect to the Bissonnette ruling of May 16, 2000. That second and independent basis is the fact that, on February 1, 2006 (the same date that the trial justice signed the “Final Judgment”), a separate order was signed by the trial justice. That order explicitly indicates that, in view of the law of the case doctrine, the trial justice considered himself to be bound by the Bisson-nette ruling y among American appellate courts as to the pragmatic approach to be taken with respect to the adequacy of a notice of appeal. See, e.g., Smith v. Barry, 502 U.S. 244, 248, 112 S.Ct. 678, 116 L.Ed.2d 678 (1992) (); Sanabria v.

We affirm. The BAP properly affirmed the bankruptcy court’s order granting the trustee’s surcharge motion because the surcharge was calculated to compensate the estate for the actual monetary costs imposed by the debtor’s misconduct, and was warranted to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy process.

The court disagrees. As explained above, Sassano did not hold his title with Wealth Management. He held his title with CIBC, which is a registered broker-dealer. CIBC's argument fails for that reason alone. 96 . 888 A.2d 204, 215 (Del.2005). 97 . See Pl.’s Tr. Ex. 8; Manual at 26. 98 . Def.’s Tr. Ex. 1. 99 .

The court held that § 502(b)(7) did not apply “because the terminated employment relationship did not run between Johnson and Beck, and Johnson hence was not directly entitled to the protection of the statute.” Id. at 470. In reaching its conclusion, the court examined the nature of personal guaranties, and concluded that, as guarantor, Johnson would be hable for the full amount due under the contract notwithstanding any limitation on its allow-ability in the corporation’s case. See id. at 470-71. The court therefore held that § 502(b)(7) does not limit the claim of an employee against the guarantor of an employment contract.

Rather, the district court’s focus should have been on the question of whether Defendant consented to the monitoring of his telephone calls such that the third exception to the coverage of the Abuse of Privacy Act was satisfied. {13} Although the district court did not properly apply the law in deciding whether the tapes were admissible, we review the entire record to determine whether it supports the State’s argument on appeal that Defendant consented to the monitoring and recording of his telephone calls, and therefore the provisions of the Abuse of Privacy Act were not violated. See State v. Martinez, 94 N.M. 436, 439-40, 612 P.2d 228, 231-32 (1980) (); State v.

The district court agreed with Koerber, stating that “unless the defendant knows all of the evidence the government intends to rely upon, it kind of puts him in a hard burden to say what he is going to argue is excluded.” Id. at 962. The district court required the government to file an initial brief on this issue. The government argues that it did not engage in any impropriety by filing this motion. We conclude that the district court did not clearly err by considering this motion as part of its pattern-of-neglect analysis.

See id. at 806-07. We have previously held that a defendant’s claim that he has been convicted of a crime other than one charged in the indictment is subject to plain error review if asserted for the first time on appeal. See, e.g., United States v. Writers & Research, Inc., 113 F.3d 8, 12-13 (2d Cir.1997). Similarly, we have applied plain error review when an error might have resulted in an improper sentence.

However, because the trial court’s decision to apply rule 1.540(b)(3) was purely a question of law, we apply a de novo review to that decision. See U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n v.

For example, the contention that an involuntary confession was admitted in evidence against him is a distinct ground for federal collateral relief. But a claim of involuntary confession predicated on alleged psychological coercion does not raise a different “ground” than does one predicated on alleged physical coercion. In other words, identical grounds may often be proved by different factual allegations. So also, identical grounds may often be supported by different legal arguments, or be couched in different language, or vary in immaterial respects. Sanders v. United States, 373 U.S. 1, 16, 83 S.Ct. 1068, 1077, 10 L.Ed.2d 148 (1963) (citations omitted); see also People v. Scheer, 184 Colo. 15, 19, 518 P.2d 833 (1974) ().

A spouse who fails to discharge a duty of support is liable to any person who provides necessaries to those to whom support is owed.”). Ultimately, the Legislature codified a parent’s common law liability for necessaries provided to his or her children in section 151.001(c) of the Family Code, which provides that “[a] parent who fails to discharge the duty of support is liable to a person who provides necessaries to those to whom support is owed.” Tex. Fam.Code § 151.001(c). As noted by the court of appeals, we recognized in two cases decided more than a century ago that attorney’s fees for services rendered for the benefit of a child may, under some circumstances, be treated as necessaries under the common law. See Searcy, 17 S.W. at 373 (); Askey v.

Similarly, Senator Harrison A. Williams expressly stated that the congressional intent was for ERISA to codify the principles of traditional trust law: The objectives of these provisions are to make applicable the law of trusts; ... to establish uniform fiduciary standards to prevent transactions which dissipate or endanger plan assets, and to provide effective remedies for breaches of trust. 120 Cong.Rec. S-15737, Aug. 22, 1974, reprinted in 1974 U.S.C.C.A.N. 5177, 5186 (emphasis added). Thus, permitting the set-off in this case would effectuate Congress’s intent, by making available to the Pension Fund a common law remedy utilized in pre-ERISA days by state and federal courts for breaches of trust.

Additionally, the standard was more restrictive than that in Crouch. We find that Sergeant Darby’s choice of an 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. time frame would not subject an individual to an arbitrary invasion of his reasonable expectation of privacy.

Nothing in the record suggests the decision to execute the checkpoint during those hours involved an effort “to target a specific person or a specific group of people.” Sheppard v.

Some disability-related inquiries aimed at curbing sick leave abuse may fall within the business necessity exception. The problem here is that DOCS has not offered sufficient evidence to prove either this business necessity or any other. We also note that what constitutes a business necessity will undoubtedly vary in different workplaces. The needs of correctional facilities for secure and adequate staffing are particularly strong, and in other contexts, courts have recognized the special circumstances of such facilities. See, e.g., Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 482, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995) (); Bell v.

District courts have differed as to how far associational standing will extend in an ADA case when the defendant is a nationwide chain. Some courts have held that an organization lacks representative standing to sue on behalf of unnamed members and therefore can seek injunctive relief only against those specific locations at which a named member has encountered alleged ADA violations. See Hilton Hotels, 2009 WL 6067336, at *5, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 126645, at *14 (finding allegations that “unnamed members encountered accessibility barriers at various unnamed Hilton hotels” was “simply too vague” to confer associational standing on an organizational plaintiff); see also Clark v.

The result we reach here with regard to chapter 253B is in accord with results reached in other states. For example, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that section 1360(a) expressly granted a state court subject matter jurisdiction to civilly commit a tribal member as a sexually dangerous person. In re Commitment of Burgess, 262 Wis.2d 354, 665 N.W.2d 124, 133 (2003); see also Burgess v. Watters, 467 F.3d 676, 687 (7th Cir.2006) ().

(See People v. Emerson (1983), 97 Ill. 2d 487, 501.) Obviously, the motive for defendant to testify that his statements were coerced existed prior to and when he made the writings. Defendant also asserts that the writings were also admissible under the curative admissibility or the completeness doctrines. The curative admissibility doctrine was not invoked at trial by defendant and, further, is irrelevant to the issue here. See 1 J. Wigmore, Evidence §15, at 731 (1983) (prior introduction of inadmissible evidence estops subsequent objection to other inadmissible evidence offered by opposing party); Chicago City Ry. Co. v.

Accordingly, the district court’s order summarily dismissing Wolfs application for post-conviction relief is affirmed. No costs or attorney fees are awarded on appeal. Chief Judge GRATTON and Judge LANSING concur. 1 . Several other jurisdictions have dealt with this issue and also held forensic examination of computers conducted after a search warrant expired to be constitutional. See United States v.

Prior to November 1, 2000, U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2Fl.l(b)(4)(B) (1999) provided for a two level increase in offense score if the offense involved a “violation of any judicial or administrative order, injunction, decree or process.” In interpreting that version of § 2F1.1(b)(4)(B), we held that a bankruptcy proceeding was not a “judicial process” and that a bankruptcy rule did not constitute a “judicial order.” See United States v.

The monetary requests in plaintiffs Complaint are for “pain and suffering” resulting from the claimed incident of sexual harassment. See id. at 8. Plaintiff does not claim that he was illegally discharged and is owed back pay related to his service or discharge. Nor may plaintiffs request for a change in his military records be entertained by this court as a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. §§ 701-06 (2006). The APA permits review of final agency action that seeks equitable relief other than money damages. 5 U.S.C. § 702. However, plaintiffs claim, viewed as an APA claim, does not fall within the jurisdiction of this court. See Martinez v. United States, 333 F.3d 1295, 1313 (Fed.Cir.2003) (); McNabb v.

In this case, the interrogation video reveals Detectives Neal and Richardson did precisely what the law forbids. After Thomas requested counsel, the detectives not only continued discussing Thomas’s case, but they also pressed on her the possible “benefits of cooperation” as well the penalties of disobedience. See Gomez, 927 F.2d at 1539. In doing so, Detectives Neal and Richardson unmistakably violated Edwards’s “rigid prophylactic rule.” See Towne v. Dugger, 899 F.2d 1104, 1106 (11th Cir.1990), abrogated on other grounds by Davis v. United States, 512 U.S. 452, 114 S.Ct. 2350, 129 L.Ed.2d 362 (1994); see also Smith v.

The Fourth Circuit has similarly refused to take the restrictive approach of the Kinoshita line of cases. In Peoples Security, the court construed an arbitration clause containing the following language: Any question, charge, complaint or grievance believed to constitute a breach or violation shall be immediately communicated between counsel and the party alleged to be in breach of the agreement shall have five days to respond, Ins.

Faretta does not address whether a trial court can offer a procedural benefit to a defendant that necessarily requires the defendant to waive his or her Sixth Amendment right to self-representation. Pasha correctly notes that the trial court’s offer of counsel on November 19, 2012, simultaneously included a procedural benefit: permitting Hernandez to refile and relitigate Pasha’s previously denied motions. However, contrary to Pasha’s assertion, the trial court’s offer did not violate his Sixth Amendment right to self-representation because the trial court did not force Pasha against his will to accept Hernandez as counsel. See id. at 807, 835-36, 95 S.Ct. 2525 ().

In its June 21, 2011 order, the district court carefully examined the factual background of the case against each of the grounds for relief cited by Mr. Leo and concluded that the motion should be denied. We affirm for substantially the same reasons articulated by the district court. Mr. Leo cited Rule 60(b)(1), which provides that the district court may grant relief from a judgment on the grounds of mistake. But as the court pointed out, “the ‘mistake’ which [Mr. Leo] claims— that he has only recently realized that he sought a different position than what he alleged in his complaint—is not the type of mistake contemplated by Rule 60(b)(1),” R.

Other than the affidavits already on file, no evidence was offered at the May 2nd hearing. At the conclusion, the trial court revoked his reconsideration order of April 25th. In a written order, the trial court stated two grounds: (1) appellant’s counsel had notice of the April 3rd submission setting, and (2) the thirty-day grace period of section 13.01(g) could not extend more than 210 days after filing. Being only human, the trial court could not have foreseen our opinion several months later rejecting the second ground. See Pfeiffer v.

The federal government argues that the contributions imposed under the Transitional Reinsurance Program do not constitute an “internal-revenue tax,” and- thus, do not fall under the jurisdictional grant from 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(1). The federal government cites a recent case from the Tenth Circuit, where that court held that a “coal reclamation fee” assessed by the Department of the Interior did not constitute an “internal-revenue tax” within the meaning of § 1346(a)(1); thus depriving the district court of subject-matter jurisdiction.

Humphreys, 966 F.2d at 1043. The District Court suggested that since plaintiff did in fact obtain extensive medical benefits under Weastec’s health benefits plan and was never denied reimbursement, a reasonable jury could not find that Weastec engaged in prohibited conduct with the specific intent of violating ERISA, However, the statute indicates only that the plaintiff must prove that the defendant engaged in conduct for the purpose of interfering with his rights, not that the employer’s conduct actually had the effect of interfering with his rights. Other courts have recognized that a plaintiffs receipt of ERISA-protected benefits does not preclude an ERISA claim under § 510. See, e.g., Kowalski v. L & F Prods., 82 F.3d 1283, 1287 (3d Cir.1996) (); Kimbro v. Atlantic Richfield Co., 889 F.2d ### Response: holding that an employee who claims to have been terminated by her employer for having exercised her right to disability benefits raised a cognizable claim under 510 of erisa notwithstanding the fact that she received the benefits from her employer prior to termination " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: one customer acknowledgment form prior to the events giving rise to the instant litigation. This in and of itself hardly establishes a prior course of dealing sufficient to allow Christy to unilaterally include the arbitration provision in the contract. Moreover, the fact that Christy repeatedly sent its customer acknowledgment form to PCS does not establish a course of dealing; the multiple forms merely demonstrated Christy’s desire to include the arbitration clause as a term of the contract. See In re CFLC, Inc., 166 F.3d 1012, 1017 (9th Cir.1999) (“Course of dealing analysis is not proper in an instance where the only action taken has been the repeated delivery of a particular form by one of the parties.”); Step-Saver Data Sys., Inc. v. Wyse Tech., 939 F.2d 91, 104 (3d Cir.1991) (). Conclusion We hold that Christy’s customer ### Response: holding that the repeated sending of a writing which contains certain standard terms without any action with respect to the issues addressed by those terms cannot constitute a course of dealing which would incorporate a term of the writing otherwise excluded under 2207 because the repeated exchange of forms by the parties only tells buyer that seller desires certain terms given sellers failure to obtain buyers express assent to these terms before it will ship the program buyer can reasonably believe that while seller desires certain terms it has agreed to do business on other terms those terms expressly agreed upon by the parties " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: not run afoul of the Fourth Amendment when the parole officer reasonably believes such search is necessary in-the performance of his duties.” Latta v. Fitzharris, 521 F.2d 246, 250-52 (9th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 423 U.S. 897, 96 S.Ct. 200, 46 L.Ed.2d 130 (1975). Defendant does not argue the state parole officers here lacked a reasonable belief that a search was necessary in the performance of their duties. He contends only that the parole officers lacked jurisdiction to conduct the search in Indian country. The parties have not cited, and the Court has not located, a case directly on point. The law is clear, however, that the State of South Dakota cannot exercise criminal jurisdiction in Indian country. Rosebud Sioux Tribe v. South Dakota, 900 F.2d 1164, 1170-71 (8th Cir.1990) (); State v.

So long as a reasonable person would feel free “to disregard the police and go about his business,” California v. Hodari D., the encounter is consensual and no reasonable suspicion is required. The encounter will not trigger Fourth Amendment scrutiny unless it loses its consensual nature. The Court made precisely this point in Terry v. Ohio: “Obviously, not all personal intercourse between policemen and citizens involves ‘seizures’ of persons. Only when the officer, by means of physical force or show of authority, has in some way restrained the liberty of a citizen may we conclude that a ‘seizure’ has occurred.” 501 U.S. 429, 434, 115 L.

In this case, the lower court ordered production of the witness statements solely because they were sworn affidavits. No showing was made by Respondents to the trial court that any of the exceptions of rule 1.280(b) applied. The court compelled production of these witness statements without conducting an in camera inspection to determine if the statements at issue were actually work product and without finding that Respondents would be unable to secure the equivalent without undue hardship. This constitutes a departure from the essential requirements of the law. See Ashemimry v. Ba Nafa, 847 So.2d 603, 605-06 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) (). We find that the trial court’s order departs ### Response: holding that it was error to order discovery in a civil case of a recorded statement allegedly made in preparation for a criminal prosecution without an in camera inspection or additional findings with regard to work product immunity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: are no longer relevant, so I consider only whether the declaratory judgment action here would serve any useful purpose and whether fairness and judicial economy are served by entertaining it. “The purposes of declaratory judgments are to ‘clarify[ ] and settl[e] the legal relations at issue’ and to ‘terminate and afford relief from uncertainty, insecurity, and controversy giving rise to the proceeding.’ ” Tempco, 819 F.2d at 749. Where the substantive suit would resolve the issues raised by the declaratory judgment action, the declaratory judgment action “serve[s] no useful purpose” because the controversy has “ripened” and the uncertainty and anticipation of litigation are alleviated.

Section 21.1a was added by Section 5 of the Act of August 24, 1951, P.L. 1401, as amended, 61 P.S. § 331.21a. 7 . The Court noted that while a convict may be on parole from a particular offense, he might be confined in prison for another offense, in a mental institution or in an enemy prison camp during a war. While not literally “at liberty,” that parolee would not be entitled to credit on his sentence for these types of confinement. 8 . See also Wagner v.

The incidents to which each petitioner testified do not meet the legal definition of persecution. Although Wijaya faced harassment and discrimination when his church services were disrupted, these incidents did not rise to the level of persecution, which include “threats to life, confinement, torture, and economic restrictions so severe that they constitute a threat to life or freedom.” Fatin v. INS, 12 F.3d 1233, 1240 (3d Cir.1993). Similarly, the assaults and robberies that both petitioners suffered do not meet this standard. See Lie v. Ashcroft, 396 F.3d 530, 536 (3d Cir.2005) ().

As informed juries will expect other corroborating elements, such evidence is typically provided. There is no objective reason why such witnesses should be inclined to lie to suit the government, regardless of whether there is an agreement for their testimony. Where an agreement exists, testimony substantially at odds with other evidence known to the government regardless of admissibility, runs the risk that the witness will lose the benefits contemplated by the agreement in addition to a perjury charge. In either event, the witness is subject to perjury. The incentive to be truthful may thus be enhanced, not necessarily reduced, by the existence of the witness’ agreement with the government. See United States v. Borello, 766 F.2d 46, 56-57 (2d Cir.1985) () (citing cases). It is common knowledge that ### Response: recognizing that informing the jury that testifying witness has agreed to cooperate with the government is a doubleedged sword as the existence of such agreement may suggest either that the witness will testify in accordance with the governments wishes regardless of the truth or that the witness will not he under threat of revocation of the agreement should the witness commit perjury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: its provisions will be triggered “after a loss, provided [the insured] elect[s] to repair or replace the damaged dwelling.” (Policy at 33; Def.’s Mot. for JMOL at 8.) Travelers argues that the ARCP Endorsement “is not available until plaintiffs have replaced the destroyed dwelling and the cost of the replacement has exceeded the Dwelling limit.” {Id. at 33.) Nothing in the ARCP Endorsement indicates that “elect” should be interpreted to require an insured to actually complete the repair or replacement of their dwelling, rather than evincing an intent to repair or replace their dwelling. In fact, Travelers’ interpretation of the clause would read out the ARCP Endorsement’s use of the word “elect” entirely. Cf. Minich v. Allstate Ins. Co., 193 CaI.App.4th 477, 122 Cal. Rptr.3d 769 (2011) ().

After the motions filing date, the D.C. Circuit rejected the reasoning of these circuit courts and held that the police had to obtain a warrant to use a GPS tracker to monitor a defendant for 28 days. See United States v. Maynard, 615 F.3d 544 (D.C.Cir.2010). Considering the majority of circuit courts that addressed the issue held that no warrant was required for a GPS device, counsel’s decision not to file a motion to suppress was not “objectively unreasonable.” That the Su preme Court ultimately reached the opposite conclusion in United States v. Jones, — U.S.-, 132 S.Ct. 945, 181 L.Ed.2d 911 (2012), more than one year after Dray-ton’s plea, does not render counsel’s performance “objectively unreasonable.” See Bullock v.

Although Solimán asserts he was residing out of state when the court entered an order warning of no further extensions, a litigant who invokes the processes of the federal courts is responsible for maintaining communication with the court during the pendency of his lawsuit. See Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1441 (9th Cir.1988) (per curiam) (“A party, not the district court, bears the burden of keeping the court apprised of any changes in his mailing address.”). Solimán waited until several days after his father’s death and within a few days of the revised deadline to file his March 29 extension motion. See Noll v.

Indeed, courts in New York have disallowed IIED claims based on findings that various types of conduct, although highly anti-social and offensive, do not rise to the level of extremity and outrageousness required to plead an IIED claim. See, e.g., Anderson v. Abodeen, 29 A.D.3d 431, 816 N.Y.S.2d 415, 432 (2006) (plaintiffs allegations that his supervisor “displayed .., nude photos [of plaintiff]” in the workplace “does not show conduct sufficiently outrageous to support a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress”); Seltzer v.

We thus find the district court’s reliance on Denson in its decision below to be misplaced. B. Applicability of the Act to This Case Having determined that the district court erred in requiring a special nexus between a record of First Amendment activities and the agency’s system of records, we must turn to an examination of whether the agency violated the Act by making the videotape of the meeting with the analysts. The threshold issue in this regard is whether the videotape is a record of the exercise of First Amendment rights. We do not think the fact that the means of storing information in this case was a videotape makes it any less a record for purposes of the Act. See Save the Dolphins v. United States Department of Commerce, 404 F.Supp. 407, 410-11 (N.D.Cal.1975) ().

In a case where the prosecution had problems with its witnesses’ memories, one prosecutor argued that the neighborhood where a shooting occurred was a “close community” where people “want to protect each other” and “certainly don’t want to talk to police.” Id.

In any event, New Mexico law is not entirely clear on whether someone in Mo-cek’s shoes might be required to answer basic questions about his identity, such as a request for his address. But Officer Dilley’s only request was for documentation, and failing to show documentation, in isolation, during an investigative stop for disorderly conduct might not amount to concealing one’s identity. Nonetheless, Officer Dilley is entitled to qualified immunity. A reasonable mistake in interpreting a criminal statute, for purposes of determining whether there is probable cause to arrest, entitles an officer to qualified immunity.

Finally, Bohn contends that his money laundering convictions are subject to dismissal because there was no evidence that he intended to aid IDM in concealing the source of the funds. The money laundering counts charge Bohn with violating two subsections of the money laundering statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1956(a)(2)(A) and § 1956(a)(2)(B)(i). Subsection (a)(2)(A) requires proof of intent to promote the carrying on of unlawful activity, while subsection (a)(2)(B)® requires proof of knowledge that the transportation was designed to conceal the proceeds of the unlawful activity. Although the government indicted on both subsections, it was only required to prove one or the other. See United States v. Hixon, 987 F.2d 1261, 1265 (6th Cir.1993) (); United States v.

Appellant does not argue Raquel is an accomplice to the offense or treat her as such in his brief, although the State asserts she is. Even if she is an accomplice, an issue we need not decide, the Facebook evidence is proper corroborating evidence. See Maynard v.

There are no new issues raised by the application, which appears to have been undertaken as a substitute for an appeal that was never pursued following the 1995 decision. A new panel would have no basis for setting aside the 1995 panel’s findings and would, therefore, be compelled to enter judgment dismissing the application. The situation is such that there are no factual issues in dispute, and the standing committee is entitled, therefore, as a matter of law, to a judgment dismissing the application.

Marshaling as Applied to the United States The IRS contends that the doctrine of marshaling, as a matter of law, cannot be applied to the United States. This Court does not believe that application of a per se rule of such breadth is warranted. The IRS cites to five cases outside of this Circuit as authority for its assertion that the United States is immune to the marshaling doctrine: United States v. Herman, 310 F.2d 846, 848 (2nd Cir.1962)(stating that the Court would not “subject the government to a requirement that it marshall [sic] assets in favor of junior lienors, as this would create an extreme burden on the collection of revenue, unauthorized by statute.”); In re Ackerman II, 424 F.2d 1148, 1150 (9th Cir.1970)(); United States v. Eshelman, 663 F.Supp. 285, ### Response: holding that a junior lienor cannot invoke the marshaling doctrine to prevent the united states from enforcing tax liens against property as to do so would create a substantial burden unauthorized by statute upon the collection of federal revenue " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 15 .See Allen v.

I, § 17, Fla. Const. (""[Cjruel or unusual punishments] ... are forbidden.""). 17 . The federal criteria, by comparison, vary. The United States Supreme Court has analyzed a number of government practices under the federal ""cruel and unusual” provision, including the imposition of death on special groups of defendants, see, e.g., Penry v. Lynaugh, 492 U.S. 302, 109 S.Ct. 2934, 106 L.Ed.2d 256 (1989) (); Ford v.

Essential a tool as the rule may be to fair elections, it cannot reasonably be viewed as a statutory mandate violated by the Board’s actions in this case. Id. at 278-79. Rather than “disregarding] a specific and unambiguous statutory directive,” UFCW Local 400, 694 F.2d at 278, the Board in fact was exercising a power specifically granted to it under § 9(c)(1) of the Act. 29 U.S.C.A. § 159(c)(1). Indeed, both the Supreme Court and the Court of Ap peals for the Third Circuit have interpreted this statutory provision to vest the Board with “wide discretion” over representation proceedings. Wells Fargo Guard Services v. NLRB, 659 F.2d 363, 370 (3d Cir.1981), relying on NLRB v. A.J. Tower Co., 329 U.S. 324, 330, 67 S.Ct. 324, 327-28, 91 L.Ed. 322 (1946) ().

Thus, we move to the question whether Nivette presented sufficient evidence that age discrimination was a determinative factor in the decision not to renew her teaching contract. C. Discriminatory motive/pretext. Nivette was not required to show that the District hired an individual who was not in her protected class in order to establish a prima facie case of age discrimination. See Kendrick, 220 F.3d at 1231. But because Halverson subsequently hired an individual who was the same age as Nivette, once the District came forward with a nondiseriminatory reason for not rehiring Nivette, Nivette could not rest on her prima facie showing alone to get the age-discrimination question to a jury. See Munoz v. St. Mary-Corwin Hosp., 221 F.3d 1160, 1166 (10th Cir.2000) (). “The critical prima facie inquiry in all ### Response: holding that adea plaintiff had failed to make a prima facie case of age discrimination when he was replaced by someone only two years younger and within the protected age group and there was no other evidence of age discriminatory motive " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and unless evidence can be produced which will support the conclusion that it was then defective, the burden is not sustained.” (Emphasis added.) This does not speak to the burden of proof with respect to any substantial change after the allegedly defective product leaves the seller’s hands. The Restatement (Second) provides little guidance on what constitutes “substantial change,” see id. § 402 cmt. p, much less the burden of proof on the question. 23 . Ford asserts that the ""vast majority of jurisdictions"" place the burden of negating substantial change exclusively on the plaintiff. In most of the cases Ford cites, however, it was undisputed that some change had occurred in the product. See, e.g., Glassey v. Continental Ins. Co., 176 Wis.2d 587, 500 N.W.2d 295, 300-301 (1993) (); Rients v.

Monell v. N.Y.C. Dept. of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658, 684, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 2032-33, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978). Nevertheless, the word “relates” should not be interpreted to be without bounds. See New York State Conference of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans v. Travelers Insurance Company, — U.S. -, -, 115 S.Ct. 1671, 1682, 131 L.Ed.2d 695 (1995) ().

Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint, and the district court granted the motion. The court recognized that district courts are divided on the question whether a debt collector must disclose that the amount of the debt will increase over time due to interest of fees. Compare, e.g., Jones v. Midland Funding, LLC, 755 F.Supp.2d 393, 397-98 (D.Conn.2010) (requiring debt collectors to disclose the fact that interest is accruing and inform consumers of the applicable interest rate),. adhered to on reconsideration, No. 3:08-CV-802 RNC, 2012 WL 1204716 (D.Conn.

This ignores the email, which was received well before the events giving rise to Mathews’s placement on administrative leave. A causal connection is therefore not impossible to show. Furthermore, even if there had only been the one letter, it too was received by the Agency prior to its decision to demote Mathews. Although he had been placed on administrative leave prior to its receipt, there is no indication the decision to demote him had already been made. Mathews has satisfied his burden of showing a causal connection between his complaints and his subsequent demotion, and the requisite prima facie showing has thus been made. See St. Mary’s Honor Ctr. v. Hicks, 509 U.S. 502, 506, 113 S.Ct. 2742, 125 L.Ed.2d 407 (1993) ().

Davis argues, that, although he did not cite the Fourth Amendment in his discussion of this issue or cite any Supreme Court precedent, his use of the phrase ""the fruit of the poisonous tree” constitutes ""widely recognized language from Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 488, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963).” (Doc. No. 95 at 20.) Given its findings herein, the court need not and declines to address Davis' argument. 38 . The court notes that, even if the Supreme Court of Alabama erroneously decided on rehearing that the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals already had adjudicated a Fourth Amendment claim, that fact would have no consequence as to the applicability of Stone.

The complainant testified that she had talked to attorneys regarding a civil suit against the Petroleum Club and appellant. She also stated her attorney had made a settlement demand to the Petroleum Club. Thus, the jury, knowing of the complainant’s potential lawsuit against the Petroleum Club and appellant, could draw their own conclusion as to its effect, if any, on her credibility in this case. The jury disregarded appellant’s defense as was its right. Moore v. State, 804 S.W.2d 165, 166 (TexApp.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1991, no pet.) ().

Section 16-10-201, C.R.S.

Co. of Am., 413 F.3d at 907 (stating that § 1144(a) provides an affirmative defense against claims not completely preempted by ERISA). However, it would be grossly inaccurate to suggest that removal is foreclosed. Rather, if the claim falls under § 1132, it is completely preempted by federal law and thus removable. Neumann, 376 F.3d at 779-80. Plaintiff interprets the Court’s order to implement a two-part test, by which establishing preemption under § 1144 is an absolute prerequisite for complete preemption under § 1132. This, however, is incorrect. Finding a claim completely preempted under § 1132 is not dependent upon first finding express preemption under § 1144. See Harris v.

The bizarre scene the officers encountered when they entered Room 204, the outward signs of Appellant’s unconsciousness, and the testimony of record, permit the conclusion that the officers were unable to determine at that time whether Appellant was truly unconscious or merely feigning his condition. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it determined that the officers had probable cause for the impermissibly admitted into evidence his recorded, non-Mirandized statements to Nurse Geyer.

BROWN, Ju 458, 172 L.Ed.2d 331 (2008). Because Carter’s trial counsel did not object to the instruction at trial, his appellate counsel would have been required to raise the issue on direct appeal as fundamental error. The Indiana Supreme Court has held that when we consider a claim of fundamental error, “we look to the jury instructions as a whole to determine if they were adequate.” Ringham v.

After over a year had passed, Knight, on his own initiative, contacted the clerk seeking information about the status of his case. Until the clerk responded, Knight had no way of knowing that his state remedies had been exhausted. The law is clear that he could not file a federal motion until his pending state application was denied. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)-(e). Therefore, he had every reason to delay such filing until he knew that state relief had been denied. Such circumstances meet the requirements of Sandvik so that Knight was entitled to have the time limitations of AEDPA equitably tolled until the date that he received notice that the state court had denied relief.

We noted in Brink, 39 F.3d at 426, that evidence is generally admitted under 801(d)(1)(C) “when a witness has identified the defendant in a lineup or photospread, but forgets, or changes, his testimony at trial.” We explained that this Rule then permits a third person to testify regarding the previous statements of the eyewitness.

N.C.R. App. P. 22(b). As the underlying history of the writ demonstrates, the remedy should be promptly sought for enforcement of the improperly denied legal right. An award of damages for delay in compliance with the legal duty is therefore not authorized in North Carolina in an action for the writ of mandamus. Further, although not controlling authority, decisions of our sister jurisdictions provide guidance on this question of first impression. We find that other jurisdictions which, like North Carolina, lack specific statutory authority for award of damages in a mandamus action have similarly determined such a right does not exist as a matter of law. See Hayes v. Civ. Ser. Com’n of Metro Gov., 907 S.W.2d 826 (Tenn. App. 1995) (), see also Smith v. Berryman, 199 S.W. 165 (Mo. ### Response: holding when the state statute did not abrogate the common law rule the only available damage remedy in a mandamus action was one for making a false return and damages for the delay in doing the thing the mandamus sought to command could not be sought in the mandamus action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: significant injuries. ¶ 19. The photographs of Hicks’s injuries, however, show that he had only minor scratches following the attack on his mother. The evidence at trial contradicts his testimony that he acted in self-defense. Hicks testified that he did not hit his mother with the ironing board; rather, he had only tried to push her away with it. Hicks testified that when he left his mother in the house after the attack, she just had “a few nicks” on her. The photographs and testimony contradict both of those claims. Further, Officer Kufel testified that when he went to the crime scene to photograph it and to gather evidence, he did not find a steak knife. ¶20. An officer is allowed to describe his first-hand observations of injuries. See Seal v. Miller, 605 So.2d 240, 244 (Miss.1992) (). However, officers may not give expert ### Response: holding that testimony from an officer that she did not perceive any evidence to indicate that a car had spun before hitting a pole did not require any special expertise or skill it was enough that the witness had firsthand knowledge of what was present at the scene " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: denying immunity is therefore “effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment.” Id. at 526-27, 105 S.Ct. 2806. But this exception to § 1291’s jurisdictional final order requirement depends on a summary judgment decision that actually denies an absolute or qualified immunity defense. See, e.g., Bines v. Kulaylat, 215 F.3d 381, 385-86 (3d Cir.2000) (dismissing for lack of appellate jurisdiction defendant’s interlocutory appeal from denial of summary judgment; refusing to entertain qualified immunity argument raised for first time on appeal). An interlocutory appeal may also of course be taken from a decision that fails or refuses to decide a claim of immunity that has been squarely presented to the district court. See Workman v. Jordan, 958 F.2d 332, 334-36 (10th Cir.1992) (). Here, however, the defendants did not move ### Response: holding district courts order postponing ruling on defendants qualified immunity defense was immediately appealable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a single act or a series of acts to constitute a unit of prosecution for willful injury, then it certainly had the wherewithal to do so when drafting section 708.4(1). More complicating is the fact that our court has construed certain criminal statutes without express reference to a “series of acts” or a “course of conduct” to include a series of acts as a single unit of prosecution. Compare State v. Amsden, 300 N.W.2d 882, 887 (Iowa 1981) (finding the jury should have been instructed on the joinder of a series of acts in a theft case when the prosecution charged the defendant with one count of first-degree theft based on five separate acts, even though Iowa Code section 714.2 refers only to the “theft of property”), with State v. Melia, 231 Iowa 332, 339, 1 N.W.2d 230, 233 (1941) (). When criminal statutes are ambiguous, we ### Response: holding the defendants act of firing five shots very close together where two deaths resulted constituted not a single act but a series of acts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in ... this title, any person who violates subsection (a) of this section shall be sentenced as follows.... ”). Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in Apprendi, courts routinely held that § 841(b) imposed a strict liability punishment scheme based solely on the type and quantity of drugs possessed by the defendant and that a defendant’s knowledge of the type and quantity was not relevant to the sentencing decision. See, e.g., United States v. Valencia-Gonzales, 172 F.3d 344, 346 (5th Cir.1999); United States v. Strange, 102 F.3d 356, 361 (8th Cir.1996); United States v. Salazar, 5 F.3d 445, 446 (9th Cir.1993); United States v. Collado-Gomez, 834 F.2d 280, 281 (2d Cir.1987). Rodriguez nevertheless argues that the Supreme Court’s decision in Apprendi, wherein the Court held t 4th Cir.)

The abandoned pleading related to factual averments Goodrich had once asserted against Jester, an entity no longer in the case and whose identity and interests would have to be explained to the jury if the abandoned pleading were to be received in evidence. Again assuming, for the sake of argument, that the abandoned pleading was actually admissible, confusion of the issues is a recognizable ground for refusing to receive otherwise admissible evidence and we would find no abuse of discretion in refusing to receive it under the circumstances present here. See Brown, 856 S.W.2d at 56 (). Point II is also denied and the judgment is ### Response: holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding evidence when the potential for jury confusion and the introduction of collateral issues justified the exclusion of evi dence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: for the purposes of a motion to remand. See Crowe v. Coleman, 113 F.3d 1536, 1538 (11th Cir.1997). 3 . The Eleventh Circuit employs the ""unanimity rule,” which requires that all defendants consent to removal. See Tri-Cities Newspapers, Inc. v. Tri-Cities Printing Pressmen and Assistants, Local 349, 427 F.2d 325, 326-27 (5th Cir.1970); Miles v. Kilgore, 928 F.Supp. 1071, 1076 (N.D.Ala.1996). This rule is subject to the following exception: ""unless and until the case is remanded it is not necessary that a fraudulently or improperly joined defendant join with the other defendants in a petition for removal.” Erkins v. American Bankers Ins. Co. of Florida, 866 F.Supp. 1373, 1375 (N.D.Ala.1994) (citations omitted); see also Emrich v. Touche Ross & Co., 846 F.2d 1190, 1193 n. 1 (9th Cir.1988) (); Polyplastics, Inc. v. Transconex, Inc., 713 ### Response: holding that all properly served defendants must join in petition for removal except for nominal unknown or fraudulently joined parties " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in common areas is generally premised on the control a landlord maintains over the common areas.” (Footnote omitted). The duty to maintain these areas in a reasonably safe condition extends not only to the tenant but “includes the members of his family, his guests, his invitees, and others on the land in the right of the tenant.” Landay v. Cohn, 220 Md. 24, 27, 150 A.2d 739, 741 (1959). “It has been held that a child on the land at the invitation of the child of the tenant is entitled to the benefit of the landlord’s obligation in this respect.” Landay v. Cohn, supra, 220 Md. at 27-28, 150 A.2d at 741. Other cases recognizing that the landlord owes a duty to maintain common areas in a reasonably safe condition include, e.g., Scott v. Watson, 278 Md. 160, 169, 359 A.2d 548, 554 (1976) (); Macke Laundry Service Co. v. Weber, 267 Md. ### Response: holding that a landlord may have a duty to exercise reasonable care for the safety of its tenants in common areas " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: primary duties consist of teaching, spreading the faith, church governance, supervision of a religious order, or supervision or participation in religious ritual and worship,” the First Amendment precludes judicial resolution of the dispute. Rayburn, supra, 772 F.2d at 1168-69 (citing Bagni, supra, 79 Colum.L.Rev. at 1545). Cases in both the federal system and our own courts indicate that when an employee engages in “ministerial functions” for the employer, courts may not exercise jurisdiction over a suit to enforce the employment agreement. Minker, supra, 894 F.2d at 1356-58; Natal, supra, 873 F.2d at 1578; Rayburn, supra, 772 F.2d at 1168, 1171-72; Southwestern Baptist, supra, 651 F.2d at 283-85; see Little, supra, 929 F.2d at 947-48; cf. Chavis, supra, 93 N.J. at 112, 459 A.2d 674 (). Those cases rely on the sound proposition ### Response: holding that first amendment precludes judicial inquiry into propriety of removal procedures followed in defrocking of deacon " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: does not merely prescribe a procedure, but rather a substantive right of a defendant to a reduction in its liability for fault that is fairly attributable to others and not to it. See Krieser v. Hobbs, 166 F.3d 736, 739 (5th Cir.1999) (applying § 85-5-7 after stating that “for a diversity action, we apply state substantive law”). Moreover, in terms of intendment and effect in general, app (D.N.J.1999) (applying conflicts analysis to issue of apportionment of fault to determine whether Maryland or New Jersey law substantive law governed); Stingley v.

See Dyer, 136 F.3d at 427-28. As Brown notes, we held to the contrary of Hill’s alleged advice in United States v. Mankins, 135 F.3d 946, 949-50 (5th Cir. 1998), and Brown offers no sound reasons as to why he did not raise this argument in his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, which he filed nearly nine months after we decided Mankins. See Dyer, 136 F.3d at 422. Although Brown contends, as the factual underpinning for his second ineffective-assistance claim, that he told Hill he had not participated in the recorded phone conversation that formed the basis of his conviction, his contention is refuted by the factual basis to which he admitted as part of his plea agreement. See United States v. Abreo, 30 F.3d 29, 32 (5th Cir. 1994) (). The district court did not clearly err by ### Response: holding that an unambiguous plea agreement is entitled to great evidentiary weight " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (3) the defendant’s assertion of his right to a speedy trial; and (4) prejudice to the defendant. Barker, 407 U.S. at 530, 92 S.Ct. 2182. 4 . We do not consider any argument that Allen is entitled to relief under R.C.M. 707(a)(1), which provides that ""[t]he accused shall be brought to trial within 120 days after ... [plreferral of charges.” Bums and its progeny appear only to deal with claims of constitutional violations, not violations of military procedural rules. See, e.g., Burns, 346 U.S. at 139, 73 S.Ct. 1045 (explaining that federal civil courts have jurisdiction over habeas petitions filed alleging the proceedings under which they were convicted ""denied them basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution”) (emphasis added); Dodson v. Zelez, 917 F.2d 1250, 1252-53 (10th Cir.1990) () (emphasis added).

Here, it is clear that the Marion Superior Court possessed jurisdiction over the general class of cases to which this petition belonged. First American filed a petition for review of an order issued by the Commissioner, head of an administrative agency, as contemplated by the AOPA. See Ind.Code § 4-21.5-5-2. The Commissioner’s argument that First American failed to exhaust its administrative remedies as set forth in Indiana Code section 4-21.5-5-4 goes towards the jurisdiction of this particular case, and is thus a procedural and not jurisdictional error. See Kennedy v. Town of Gaston, 923 N.E.2d 988, 994 (Ind.Ct.App.2010) ().

We agree. “While a prohibition involving some affirmative act on the part of the former employee, such as solicitation, diversion, or contact of clients, may be reasonable, a covenant prohibiting a former employee from merely accepting business, without any solicitation, is not reasonable.” (Footnotes and emphasis omitted.) Waldeck v. Curtis 1000, Inc., 261 Ga. App. 590, 592 (583 SE2d 266) (2003). See also Singer v. Habif Arogeti & Wynne, PC., 250 Ga. 376, 377 (1) (297 SE2d 473) (1982) (); Akron Pest Control v.

At various times when addressing the issue, the trial judge expressed the view that there was nothing he could do regarding defendant’s complaint. Although the judge correctly stated he could not compel witnesses to speak to the defense against their will, he did not lack any authority to remedy the situation in the event he found the allegations to be true. In State v. Boiardo, 172 N.J.Super. 528, 412 A.2d 1084 (Law Div.1980), the trial judge required that a government witness be produced for personal interview by defense counsel, but fully informed “he has an absolute and personal right to either grant or deny the interview” and terminate it at will. Id. at 532, 412 A.2d 1084; see also Carrigan, supra, 804 F.2d at 601, 603 (); but see R. 3:13-2(a) (limiting circumstances ### Response: holding that under the extraordinary circumstances found by the district court it was not an abuse of discretion to order that defendants be permitted to take depositions of the witnesses in the presence of their attorney and the governments counsel " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (citing United States v. Ross, 654 F.2d 612, 616 (9th Cir.1981)). The twist in this case comes about because there was no timely motion to stay the mandate; this court did issue its mandate and then denied Pete’s motion to recall the mandate. With the mandate in effect, the district court resumed jurisdiction over the case. See United States v. Ruiz-Alvarez, 211 F.3d 1181, 1184 (9th Cir.2000) (“Once a mandate issues, ... jurisdiction over a criminal case automatically revests in the district court.”) (emphasis in original). As a result, the government did not have to, and did not, wait until the Supreme Court denied Pete’s cer-tiorari petition before filing the indictment in the district court.

A party’s disagreement with the district court’s ruling is insufficient to demonstrate a “substantial ground for difference of opinion.” Central Valley Chrysler-Jeep v. Witherspoon, No. CVF046663RECLJO, 2005 WL 3470653, at *2 (E.D.Cal.2005). The moving party must make “some greater showing.” Napa Community Redevelopment Agency v. Continental Ins. Co., No. C-94-3284 DLJ, 1995 WL 714363, at *3 (N.D.Cal.1995). For example, courts have held this factor is satisfied when there is a lack of binding authority on an issue, which is subject to differing interpretations. See, e.g., Maestri v. Westlake Excavating Co., Inc., 894 F.Supp. 573, 578 (N.D.N.Y.1995); see also, Wells Fargo Bank v. Bourns, Inc., 860 F.Supp. 709, 717 (N.D.Cal.1994) ().

Charles Powers Estate, 620 Pa. 1, 65 A.3d 885, 886-887 (2013), various Pennsylvania statutes, such as the Municipalities Planning Code, define natural gas as a mineral. See 53 P.S. § 10107; see also Huntley & Huntley, Inc. v. Borough of Oakmont, 600 Pa. 207, 964 A.2d 855, 858 (2009) (). 12 .

To the extent the Fourth Amendment is implicated by the use of an administrative subpoena, satisfaction of these requirements also satisfies that amendment. See Walling, 327 U.S. at 208, 66 S.Ct. 494 (“[T]he Fourth [Amendment], if applicable, at the most guards against abuse only by way of too much indefiniteness or breadth in the things required to be ‘particularly described,’ if also the inquiry is one the demanding agency is authorized by law to make and the materials specified are relevant.”); see also City of Los Angeles v.

Relying primarily on cases from the Second and Third circuits, Pushpin argues that a refusal to arbitrate can be established only if the non-moving party files a lawsuit or is ordered to arbitrate a dispute and fails to do so. See, e.g., LAIF X SPRL v.

Chrysler emphasizes that the Cudas are the parties against whom the agreement is sought to be enforced and that the Cudas’ abandonment application was responsible for the settlement not being approved. We conclude, however, that the Cudas did no more than they were legally entitled to do as the real parties in interest. See 11 U.S.C. § 554(b) (authorizing party in interest to request a court order of abandonment of a particular property). Additionally, we note that the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court recognized their status as the real parties in interest in approving the abandonment. We do not believe the Cudas can be penalized for taking actions expressly sanctioned by the Code and the appropriate courts. See In re Martin, 91 F.3d 389 (3d Cir.1996) ().

These claims are not cognizable under section 2241 because they do not concern the manner, location, or conditions of his sentence’s execution. See Hernandez v. Campbell, 204 F.3d 861, 864 (9th Cir. 2000). Rather, as the district court concluded, the appropriate remedy for Wright’s claims lies in a civil rights action under Bivens v.

State Board of Retirement, 432 Mass. 339, 733 N.E.2d 1053 (Mass.2000), the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts examined the gravity of the offense, the maximum fine that could be imposed, the extent of the unlawful activity, the amount of illegal gain in relation to the penalty, and the harm caused. See id. at 1061-62; see also Bajakajian, 524 U.S. at 339-40, 118 S.Ct. 2028 (comparing the amount of the forfeiture, $357,144, to the gravity of the offense; examining also the harm that the respondent caused); United States v.

Elimination by manual monitoring would have been difficult and expensive, but not impossible, particularly for images as obviously infringing as the ones at issue here. The evidence shows that Webb-world implemented substantial effort to combat the infringement. Notwithstanding its “compliance program,” Webbworld chose to continue to copy from a newsgroup that essentially advertised by its “centerfolds” name that it carried PEI images. After it was on notice of infringement, Webbworld chose to stay in business without implementing a system that would reliably delete even such obvious transgressions. Such an action constitutes willful infringement. See Broadcast Music, Inc., 855 F.2d at 236 ().

Here, we have just that. Unlike the case in Montgomery, we are not deciding this case on the merits; in viewing the facts in favor of Barrett, he was denied employment only because he was exercising his right to educate his son in a manner of his choice. 4 . In its opinion, the district court cited precedent from the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits to support the proposition that dictating where an employee of the school district can send his child to school infringes on the familial rights of that teacher.

Plaintiff admitted “waking up” while proceeding down the freeway, not knowing where he was or where the time went. In his deposition, Plaintiff admitted that it was possible that he could run over someone with his truck and not notice it. Indeed, by his own admission, Plaintiffs driving in such condition created “a possibility of extreme danger.” (Plaintiffs Depo., at 108). Although someone with Plaintiffs condition can likely do a plethora of other tasks, driving a gasoline truck weighing several tons loaded with flammable liquid is certainly not one of them.

To establish pendent appellate jurisdiction, however, Officer Duplain must first establish at least one appealable order, because without an underlying “appealable” order, there can be nothing pendent.

Id. The dissent from the court of appeals characterizes this use as one associated with the ""privacies of life."" Id. However, to the contrary, courts seem overwhelmingly to hold that parking alone constitutes a use associated with neither an intimate activity of the home nor a privacy of life. See, e.g., Mack v. City of Abilene, 461 F.3d 547 (5th Cir. 2006) (collecting cases and indicating that common parking area is not a use associated with curtilage of home); Commonwealth v.

I think that’s something that’s not insignificant and we should keep in mind when we look at the evidence of this particular case. In denying Squires’ motion for a new trial, the circuit court explained that the other pleading merely duplicated Kurtz’s testimony and was more prejudicial than probative. The circuit court further explained its concern that admitting the pleading would have violated the collateral source rule and risked tainting the jury because the jurors would have wanted to know if Kurtz was compensated from the other lawsuit.

Plaintiffs argue that these statutes also raise a related but distinct U.S. policy interest in insuring that claims arising out of human rights abuses are adjudicated according to the standards of international law. In arguing for this principle, they assume that the law of nations necessarily provides the substantive standards for evaluating claims brought under the ATCA in situations where the underlying claims involve human rights abuses. While they may well be right that such a principle is implicit in the ATCA, the federal courts have never definitively resolved this choice-of-law question.

Although the judge indicated in his findings that he considered the duration of the marriage in determining that permanent alimony was warranted, the court failed to fully articulate why a relatively short marital life required an award of permanent alimony rather than an award of rehabilitative alimony. This is particularly important in cases in which the alimony recipient is of a relatively young age. A younger divorcee has a better opportunity to obtain employment than does an older individual who had been married and out of the work force for many years. See Capodanno v.

Thus, theoretically, a decision to conduct a roadblock without the proper constitutional safeguards could subject a police department to liability. However, Johnson has not alleged facts that show that the putatively unlawful policy caused the violation of her rights. The Supreme Court has instructed that courts must carefully scrutinize the link between the allegedly improper conduct and the constitutional violation at issue.

Sun’s contention that courts are not authorized to second guess franchisors’ decisions pursuant to the underlying lease exception in § 2802(c)(4) is grounded in our holding in Lugar that there is no statutory basis to inquire into the objective reasonableness of franchisor business decisions made in conformity with § 2802(c)(4).

However, this Court rejected this claim in Jennings II, 583 So.2d at 318-19. The Court affirmed the trial court’s denial of relief because evidence of appellant’s intoxication on the night in question “was well known [at trial], but was abandoned in favor of the identity defense.” Id. at 322; see Engle v.

This case is controlled by the rule that where the victim injury which is the basis for the assessment of sentencing points is not an element — or the functional equivalent of an element — of the offense and thus not part of the essential facts constituting the offense charged, the victim injury need not be alleged in the information. But see Delgado v. State, 948 So.2d 883, 884 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) ().

While in 1984 the IRS estimated that these cases represented $500 million in potential revenue, id., more recently it has estimated that they involve approximately $8 billion in revenue. See Supplemental Brief for the Appellee-Cross-Appellant at 3. 5 . The Tenth Circuit has since reversed the Tax Court. Miller v. Commissioner, 836 F.2d 1274, 1276 (10th Cir.1988); see also Boswell v. Commissioner, 91 T.C. No. 15, 14 (July 26, 1988) [available on WESTLAW, 1988 WL 75868] (); see infra pp. 645-47. 6 .Although the Tenth ### Response: holding that tax courts miller opinion will no longer be followed " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 35-50-2-6(a) (Burns Code Ed. Repl.2004) provides that a person who is convicted of a Class C felony shall be imprisoned for a fixed term of four years, with not more than four years added for aggravating circumstances or not more than two years . subtracted for mitigating circumstances. 8 . Welch makes no claim that two of the prior felony convictions relied upon by the trial court to enhance his sentence also supported his habitual offender enhancement. The felonies which supported the habitual offender finding could not standing alone be relied upon as the aggravating factor of a prior criminal record to enhance the sentence. See . McVey v. State, 531 N.E.2d 458, 461 (Ind. 1988); Darnell v. State, 435 N.E.2d 250, 256 (Ind. 1982). But see Jones v. State, 600 N.E.2d 544, 548 (Ind.1992) ().

State, 860 S.W.2d 89 (Tex.Crim.App.1993). By extension, we conclude that the prosecutor acts within his authority when he recommends a sentence of life without parole in a capital trial. The Board has no jurisdic tion during the sentencing phase of a criminal trial, nor does it have the authority to prescribe whether an offender should be statutorily eligible for parole based on the nature of the crime committed. We therefore reject appellant’s contention that the prosecutor’s election amounts to a violation of the separation of powers doctrine. See Wilson v. State, 348 S.W.3d 32, 42-44 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, pet. filed); cf. O’Bryan v. State, 591 S.W.2d 464, 476 (Tex.Crim.App.1979) (), superseded on other grounds by statute, ### Response: holding that a jury does not invade the province of the board when it determines the probability of a capital defendants future dangerousness " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the axiom that “[fjederal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction.” Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 511 U.S. 375, 377, 114 S.Ct. 1673, 128 L.Ed.2d 391 (1994). Federal courts draw their jurisdictional power from explicit grants by Congress, and from Art. III of the U.S. Constitution. See U.S. Const, art. III; Ins. Corp. of Ireland, Ltd. v. Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinee, 456 U.S. 694, 701-02, 102 S.Ct. 2099, 72 L.Ed.2d 492 (1982). Regardless of whether both parties wish for the federal court to retain indefinite jurisdiction to enforce their settlement agreement, “parties may not confer subject matter jurisdiction by consent.” Samuel-Bassett v. KIA Motors Am., Inc., 357 F.3d 392, 396 (3d Cir.2004) (citations omitted); see also Collins v. Thompson, 8 F.3d 657, 659 (9th Cir.1993) (), cert. denied, 511 U.S. 1127, 114 S.Ct. 2133, ### Response: holding that a federal court may refuse to exercise continuing jurisdiction even though the parties have agreed to it parties cannot confer jurisdiction by stipulation or consent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: v. Starrett, 24 S.W.3d 211, 214 (Mo.Ct.App.2000) (Dowd, J., concurring) (explaining that “life insurance benefits and pensions are often included in property settlements, yet are, by their nature, ongoing and payment may not begin during the ten-year period following judgment”). Here, the trial court’s conclusion Mary Blomdahl should have moved to enforce payment of her ninety percent interest in Russell Blomdahl’s retirement benefits when he had yet to retire and receive any benefits himself reaches a similarly absurd result because it deprives Mary Blomdahl of her interest in the retirement payments before these payments became due. See Jordan v. Jordan, 147 S.W.3d 255, 262 (Tenn.Ct.App.2004) (citing Duhamel v.

But the mere acceptance of a guilty plea by the court does not create an immutable bar to subsequent prosecution. See Olmeda, 461 F.3d at 279 n. 7 (2d Cir.2006). There are, “certain circumstances, [where] jeopardy is not deemed to [have] attached] at the time of a guilty plea[.]” Id, Jeopardy fails to attach, for example, where a plea made is conditional on some future occurrence. See Ricketts, 483 U.S. at 8, 107 S.Ct. 2680 (defendant’s guilty plea to second degree murder was conditional on his later testifying against codefendants involved in murder); Smith, 865 F.Supp.2d at 271 (); Matthews v.

That is, “[t]he relevant question ... is the objective question whether a reasonable officer could have believed [the conduct at issue] to be lawful, in light of clearly established law and the information the [officer who engaged in the conduct at issue] possessed.” Id. at 636, 107 S.Ct. 3034; see also Saucier v.

Alternatively, it could have been merely an oversight that did not amount to gross negligence. But although this allegation is insufficient by itself, it can be aggregated with the other allegations described above. Taking the allegations as a whole and drawing all reasonable inferences in Bayerische’s favor, we conclude that Bayerische has sufficiently alleged facts plausibly suggesting Aladdin abandoned its role to manage the Reference Portfolio in favor of the Noteholders. Cf. Assured Guar. (UK) Ltd. v. J.P. Morgan Inv. Mgmt. Inc., 80 A.D.3d 293, 304-05, 915 N.Y.S.2d 7 (1st Dep’t 2010), aff'd on other grounds, 18 N.Y.3d 341, 939 N.Y.S.2d 274, 962 N.E.2d 765 (2011) ().

The claimant cannot invoke the presumption by producing an X-ray that simply constitutes evidence of the presence of pneumoconiosis. Mullins Coal, 484 U.S. at 147, 108 S.Ct. at 433-34; Cook v. Director, OWCP, 816 F.2d 1182, 1185 (7th Cir.1987). The chest X-ray produced by the claimant must show the presence of pneumoconiosis by a preponderance of the evidence. Mullins Coal, 484 U.S. at 147-52, 108 S.Ct. at 433-36. The effect of the presumption is to shift both the burden of production and of persuasion to the employer. Amax Coal Co. v. Director, OWCP, 772 F.2d 304, 305 (7th Cir.1985); Peabody Coal Co. v. Hale, 771 F.2d 246, 248 n. 2 (7th Cir.1985). But see Underhill v. Peabody Coal Co., 687 F.2d 217, 222 (7th Cir.1982) ().

We have often said that a debtor corporation has no property interest in the shares of its stock owned by shareholders. Paso Del Norte, 755 F.2d at 424. However, at the point the shares were issued but undelivered to Templeton, Majestic had possession of the stock, and delivery was necessary to administer the estate pursuant to the Plan (the partial satisfaction of Templeton’s unsecured claim). Whether the undelivered stock was property of the estate is not a critical inquiry, since the Bankruptcy Act of 1978 eliminated § 711 of the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, which had limited bankruptcy jurisdiction solely to the debtor and his property. Compare Paso Del Norte, 755 F.2d at 424 () with Pacor, 743 F.2d at 994 (stating, under ### Response: holding under the 1898 act that neither the debtor nor its property was involved in stock ownership dispute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: he prepare himself for his passing.

Disqualification of a party’s chosen counsel is a drastic remedy that should be used sparingly. Alexander v. Tandem Staffing Solutions, Inc., 881 So.2d 607, 608 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004); see also Gutierrez v. Rubio, 126 So.3d 320, 2013 WL 1316383 (Fla. 3d DCA Apr. 3, 2013).

Lloyd's Underwriters at London, 911 So.2d 155, 158 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005). Disqualification is not appropriate if lesser alternatives can alleviate the harm. Id.; Esquire Care, Inc. v.

The same reasons that led the court to call so- many extra jurors should have prompted it to consider accommodations for some members of the public to attend. The court does not have to accommodate every person who wants to attend a trial. It does not have to relocate a trial to a sports stadium. It ought to consider use of the largest available courtroom. It must consider options for reserving some seating in the courtroom for interested members of the public, even if that meáns potential jurors are divided into separate groups. Compare People v.

ERISA plan administrators abuse their discretion by rendering decisions without an explanation, by construing the terms of the policy in a way that conflicts with the policy’s plain language, or by relying on “clearly erroneous findings of fact in making benefit determinations.” Id. The mere presence of contradictory evidence does not necessarily amount to an abuse of discretion. Id.

Apart from this single statutory exception, § 1915(g)’s “in no event” language must be applied. Section 1915(g) represents Congress’ attempt to balance the needs of overloaded judges to hear cases of individuals who have not abused the judicial process in the past with prisoners who have abused the judicial process on at least three prior occasions through frivolous filings. There is no question that § 1915(g) is constitutional. See White v. Colorado, 157 F.3d 1226, 1232-35 (10th Cir.1998) ().

Based on the foregoing, the advisory sentencing range is 12 to 18 months’ imprisonment. The District Court sentenced him to the lowest level of the applicable Guidelines range — 12 months and one day. The only possible error in calculating the advisory sentencing range would be in the District Court’s application of the two-level enhancement because the offense involved more than two threats. But in his plea agreement and at his change-of-plea hearing, Mr. Crepeau admitted that he sent three separate threatening emails to Ms. Lane and one to another bank employee. See United States v.

We affirm the district court’s judgment in favor of the United States. AFFIRMED. 1 . The application of the exception does not depend, however, on whether federal officials actually took public policy considerations into account. All that is required is that the applicable statute or regulation gave the government agent discretion to take policy goals into account. United States v. Gaubert, 499 U.S. 315, 324-25, 111 S.Ct. 1267, 1274-75, 113 L.Ed.2d 335 (1991). The Gaubert Court also clarified that low-level employees making discretionary day-today management decisions based on policy considerations also fall within the exception.

It is clear from the statutory definition set forth above that an Arkansas check-casher pays, pursuant to a written agreement, an agreed-upon amount to its customer, less any fee charged pursuant to the Act, upon presentment of the customer’s check payable to the check-casher. In addition, that customer can “repurchase” his or her check within the agreed period of time. In other words, when the customer “repurchases” his or her check, he or she must pay the check-casher the amount of the check. We hold that such a transaction is a loan, as the check-casher is clearly loaning money to its customer for a fee with the expectation of repayment. See, e.g., Betts v. McKenzie Check Advance of Florida, LLC, 879 So. 2d 667 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2004) (). b.

Id. at 739. The court did not discuss whether this claim involved “the need for substantial legal research.” Id. at 740. Nevertheless, the court quashed the district court’s decision and remanded the ease to the trial court with instructions that petitioner have counsel appointed and a new evidentia-ry hearing be held.

Id. In this case, however, there is no dispute that the Plan Administrator was vested with discretionary authority to interpret the Plan. When a plan administrator has been vested with discretionary authority to interpret a plan, courts review the administrator’s decisions only for abuse of discretion. See Koehler v. Aetna Health, Inc., 683 F.3d 182, 187 (5th Cir.2012). Application of the abuse of discretion standard may involve a two-step process. See Wildbur v. ARCO Chemical Co., 974 F.2d 631, 637 (5th Cir.1992). See also Duhon v. Texaco, Inc., 15 F.3d 1302, 1307-08 & n. 3 (5th Cir.1994) ().

Rhode Island Ethics Commission, 544 A.2d 582, 583 n. 1 (R.I.1988) (acknowledging the substitution of the commission for the former commission during the pendency of the litigation). Indeed, any other interpretation would contravene the clear intent of §§ 4 and 6 of the act and would not promote the policies and obvious purposes behind the establishment of the commission as a successor entity to the former commission.

If we did, it might be sensible to give the trial court an automatic thirty- or sixty-day period of concurrent jurisdiction to resolve any pending restitution issue once a notice of appeal is filed. In the alternative, perhaps the amount of restitution could be established in a separate restitution judgment, in the nature of a civil monetary judgment. This judgment could be separately appealed.

The trial court limited the cross-examination to whether or not CPS investigations existed and whether or not appellant was aware of them if they did. Defense counsel was not permitted to delve into the specifics of the investigations themselves, including the nature of the allegations being investigated. Although appellant’s trial counsel argued the relevance of the evidence he sought to present to the trial court, he did not argue that the court’s limitations on cross-examination amounted to a violation of appellant’s due process rights. Because counsel failed to make this argument in the trial court, it was not preserved for appellate review. See Clark v. State, 365 S.W.3d 333, 339-40 (Tex.Crim.App.2012) (); Anderson v.

Probable cause is necessary to support a warrant, not merely one possibility, among many[.]” Defendant argues that that principle is controlling here. He reasons that equally available inferences include that the pornography that he ordered depicted only adults or, because the term “pornography” is itself vague, that the people involved could have been “partially unclothed.” If the affidavit contained nothing else, defendant’s point might be more persuasive. However, there was more. First, defendant was a registered sex offender, having previously been convicted of possession of child pornography. See State v. Westfall, 178 Or App 343, 350-51, 37 P3d 1030, rev den, 333 Or 595 (2001) ().

Addition ally, Mother has consistently expressed her desire that Baby Girl be placed with Appellants. ICWA expressly provides that courts should consider the preference of a parent. See 25 U.S.C. § 1915(c) (“Where appropriate, the preference of the Indian child or parent shall be considered ...”); see also In the Adoption of F.H., 851 P.2d 1361 (Alaska 1993) ().

Id. at 1281. We explicitly rejected the government’s contention that the implied TDIU claim was pending and unadjudicated. Id. Relying on Roberson, 251 F.3d at 1383-84, we held that where an RO renders a decision on a veteran’s claim for benefits but fails to address one of the claims, that decision is final as to all claims; the RO’s failure to address the implied claim “is properly challenged through a CUE motion,” not a direct appeal.

Even though Jones faced a maximum penalty of twelve months’ imprisonment, the Class H crime for which he was convicted carried a maximum sentence of thirty months’ imprisonment. Id. at 206-07. The court concluded the statutory maximum for the crime of conviction was thirty months, and was therefore “a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year.” Id. at 207; see also United States v.

Ernst’s conduct during the 1998 Special Procedures is relevant to plaintiffs’ claim that the Special Procedures covered up and continued the 1997 financial statements fraud. See generally Reeves v.

Evidence presented at trial indicated that the only reason Safety Technologies had to question the status of FDA certification was that Biotronix 2000 did not promptly verify certification or provide the certification numbers. A reasonable jury could conclude that this alone did not make it unreasonable for Safety Technologies to rely on Biotronix 2000 to communicate the fact that the FDA had rescinded certification. Safety Technologies had a letter from an attorney for Bitoronix Laborato- ríes assuring Safety Technologies that the units had FDA certification.

The violation occurred after Crump was sentenced but before the conclusion of the probationary phases of his sentence. Thus, Crump was in his probationary period.”) (citations omitted); Gardner v. State, 678 N.E.2d 398, 401 (Ind.CtApp.1997) (“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.”); Johnson v.

United States v. Piazza, 647 F.3d 559, 564 (5th Cir.2011). Fleming moved for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence “that [she] was medicated during trial in violation of [her] right to due process, both because the medication was without medical need and also because it was involuntary.” A panel of this court found on direct appeal that Fleming’s due process claim failed because she “voluntarily agreed to take her medication as a condition of being allowed to proceed pro se.” Arthur, 432 Fed.Appx. at 428 (emphasis added). Thus, due process did not require a determination whether the medication was medically appropriate. Cf. Sell v. United States, 539 U.S. 166, 179-82, 123 S.Ct. 2174, 156 L.Ed.2d 197 (2003) ().

Because these errors do not in any way affect the jury’s determination of liability by virtue of the Defendant’s negligence per se, the appropriate remedy is to remand for a new trial as to damages only. On remand, the jury should determine a monetary amount that represents fair, full, and adequate compensation for the harm suffered by the Plaintiff as a result of the Defendant’s negligence. In accordance with FELA, any amount awarded by the jury cannot be reduced with regard to any contributory negligence on the part of Mr. Payne. See 45 U.S.C. § 53. Once the jury returns an award of compensatory damages, the trial judge must review the amount to determine whether it is against the clear weight of the evidence.

I would respectfully suggest that in circumstances involving equivocal expert testimony, and circumstantial evidence that does not support a conviction, even when viewed in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, the evidence fails to exclude a reasonable hypothesis of appellant’s innocence. See Dukes, 227 Va. at 123, 313 S.E.2d at 384. Accordingly, I must dissent. 5 . I also appreciate that the majority apparently does not suggest that a lack of circumstantial evidence in a case such as this can be salvaged by simply having an expert testify in support of a factual or legal proposition. 6 . I would respectfully suggest that the majority’s reliance on the analysis in McCain v. Commonwealth, 261 Va. 483, 545 S.E.2d 541 (2001) (), cannot occur in a vacuum.

Accordingly, against the backdrop of the emphasized language, this Court and the Court of Civil Appeals have recognized the unique nature of juvenile proceedings that make an appeal appropriate from any one of multiple judgments that may be entered during the life of a juvenile case. Citing the Court of Civil Appeals’ opinion in C.L. v. D.H., 916 So.2d 622 (Ala.Civ.App.2005), we stated in Ex parte T.C., 96 So.3d 123, 130.(Ala.2012), that, “unlike other civil cases, dependency and termination-of-parental-rights proceedings may involve multiple ‘final’ ap-pealable orders before the juvenile case is closed. For example, temporary custody orders are treated as final, appeal-able orders. See, e.g., C.L. v. D.H., 916 So.2d 622 (Ala.Civ.App.2005) ().” Unlike normal civil cases in which a fixed ### Response: holding that order awarding maternal grandmother primary physical custody of a child in a dependency case was a final appealable order as opposed to a pendente lite order " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Tex. 209, 1882 WL 9490 (1881); Switzer v.

But the rule is based upon a competing and equally valid principle, that of tire need for ""absolute verity” of judgments that appear regular and are no longer subject to direct attack. See Treadway, 57 Tex. 209, 1882 WL 9490, at *4-5. York could have raised the pending bankruptcy proceeding in the justice court, thereby making the judgment subject to collateral attack, but he failed to do so. In addition, extrinsic evidence is available to challenge a void judgment in a direct attack, such as in a bill of review. 9 . See Bland ISD v. Blue, 34 S.W.3d 547, 553-55 (Tex.2000) (). 10 .

The lower courts have split on this issue: Some courts, interpreting the [Clean Water Act] and Gwaltney expansively, have held that the continuing migration of pollutants from past discharges is sufficient to establish jurisdiction under Section 505(a)(1). See Umatilla Waterquality Protective Ass’n v. Smith Frozen Foods, Inc., 962 F.Supp. 1312, 1322 (D.Or.1997) (); Werlein v.

There is no evidence as to how or why the endorsement came to be added to Monroe's standard CGL policy. On the other hand, Monroe does not assert that it never intended to provide any ""non-owned"" or ""hired"" automobile liability coverage under its policy; Monroe clearly intended to include the endorsement. The result is that there is no evidence Monroe and IU had reached any agreement regarding the endorsement that was erroneously exeluded or that the endorsement as originally written contravened the parties' expressed intent. As such, there is no proper basis for retroactively reforming the policy against TU's will. See Gierhart v. Consolidated Rail Corporation-Conrail, 656 N.E.2d 285, 287 (Ind.Ct.App.1995) ().

However, even if there is such evidence, there is no indication in the record that the rendering or failure to render a professional service was causally connected to the accident. Moreover, the term “professional services” is not defined within the policy. Case law supports the proposition that the term “professional services” denotes those services rendered by someone with particularized knowledge or skill in his or her chosen field. See Atl.

He claims that because he experienced extortion and threats from MS-13 as a consequence of his business ownership, a conclusion of no nexus “ignores [his own] credible testimony.” His argument misses the point. It’s true that the immigration judge found Lopez generally credible, and observed that “there is some support” for Lopez’s fears of MS-13 given the gang’s proclivity toward violence. However, both the immigration judge and Board concluded that it wasn’t Lopez’s business ownership, or his non-compliance with the gang’s demands, that mattered for purposes of the withholding analysis.

In his opening brief, however, he argues only that his U-turn was legal; he does not challenge the district court’s finding that he failed to stop at the stop sign — a traffic violation that justified the stop.

One of the ways in which this object was accomplished was by depriving Plaintiffs of notice of the foreclosure sale. Although part of the trial will focus on the events that occurred at the Property in Mexico, the part of the trial that concerns Casas Gran des will focus on its purchase of Simply Goodies’ assets. Because Casas Grandes’ contacts with Texas relate to these assets, there is a substantial connection between the forum contacts and the operative facts of Plaintiffs’ claims.

Furthermore, the generic damages paragraph, ### Response: holding that suit arose from alleged fraudulent transfer of real property located in texas even though the allegedly fraudulent assignment occurred in california " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 12.00. The regulations further provide that in cases where the nature of the individual’s intellectual impairment is such that standardized intelligence tests are precluded, then medical reports specifically describing the level of intellectual function should be obtained. Id. Here, there is no evidence or reason to believe that plaintiff’s impairments preclude standardized intelligence testing. In light of the Secretary’s regulations, such a test should have been administered to plaintiff. Here again, however, the Secretary seeks to avoid this result by shifting the burden to plaintiff. The Secretary asserts that plaintiff had an opportunity to provide evidence of mental retardation, but failed to do so. See Willis v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 727 F.2d 551 (6th Cir.1984) (). The Secretary points out that at the close of ### Response: holding that 42 usc 405g limits the district courts discretion to remand for reconsideration in light of new evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and McIntyre’s testimony is cast into doubt by the absence of the key statement in his police report from that day. The Court does not determine whether McIntyre’s testimony or Stephens’ notes are credible; instead, it merely finds that they are not overwhelming and incontrovertible evidence that Deskovic made the ejaculation statement. Thus, the Court concludes that a genuine issue of material fact exists, and summary judgment is therefore inappropriate. See Ricciuti 124 F.3d at 130 (“Here, a reasonable jury could find, based on the evidence, that [defendants] violated the plaintiffs’ clearly established constitutional rights by conspiring to fabricate and forward to prosecutors a known false confession almost certain to influence a jury’s verdict.”); see also Jocks, 316 F.3d at 138 (). 2.

Whether City Homes was negligent and/or made a negligent misrepresentation with respect to the Property is not the same fact or issue as whether the lead poisoning alleged in the Wallace case was accidental. Although the same subject matter is involved, the questions are not identical for purposes of collateral estoppel, as the jury in the Wallace case was not asked to decide whether City Homes actually foresaw or expected the Wallace children’s injuries. See, e.g., Sedlack v. Braswell Servs. Group, Inc., 134 F.3d 219, 224 (4th Cir.1998) (). Accordingly, City Homes is not precluded from ### Response: holding that where the dispositive issue in an administrative proceeding was whether an accident occurred as the plaintiff alleged it did collateral estoppel did not bar litigation of whether the accident was workrelated because that issue had not yet been litigated " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 1 . Poole and Trammell denied that Poole made this statement. R2-33, Exh. 16 at 8(28); Exh. 15 at 16 (59-60). 2 . Although the district court never specifically mentioned Phillips’s race discrimination claim under § 1981, it implicitly rejected it on this basis as well because the analysis for a § 1981 claim is the same as for Title VII race discrimination claims, Crawford v. Western Elec. Co., 745 F.2d 1373, 1376 (11th Cir. 1984), and it granted summary judgment as to ""all” of Phillips’s claims. Rl-41. 3 . Even though the suggested comparator here, Yonkman, was fewer than 10 years younger than Phillips, we have held that as few as three years difference in age can satisfy the “substantially younger” requirement. See Carter v. DecisionOne Corp., 122 F.3d 997, 1003-04 (11th Cir. 1997) (); see also Damon, 196 F.3d at 1360. 4 .

In United States v. Warren, reliance on a PSR statement which was ""by its own terms ... unclear ... whether [the defendant] was the perpetrator or the victim of the frauds recited” was also considered improper speculation. 186 F.3d 358 (3rd Cir. 1999). Neither case is comparable to Soloman’s situation. There was no unsupported speculation about whether Soloman committed any of the crimes at issue; he had been convicted of and sentenced on all the crimes discussed. 4 . To the extent that Soloman seeks review of the denial of the downward departure, this Court lacks jurisdiction to review such a denial that was based on an exercise of discretion. See U.S. v. Stevens, 223 F.3d 239, 247-48 (3d Cir.2000) ### Response: holding that the district courts denial of a downward departure was an exercise of discretion and therefore not reviewable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: an unconstitutional use-of-force policy, summary judgment was proper because Martinez has failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the Oregon Department of Corrections’ policy is “so deficient that the policy itself is a repudiation of constitutional rights and is the moving force of the constitutional violation.” Redman v. County of San Diego, 942 F.2d 1435, 1446 (9th Cir.1991) (en banc) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted); Jeffers v. Gomez, 267 F.3d 895, 915 (9th Cir.2001) (finding a similar policy to be constitutional). However, at this stage in the proceedings, a genuine dispute of material fact precludes granting summary judgment for Fletcher on the grounds of qualified immunity. See Curnow v. Ridgecrest Police, 952 F.2d 321, 325 (9th Cir.1991) ().

United States v. Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir.2013). Whether to grant such a reduction is within the district court’s discretion, so long as it considers the factors outlined in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2012) to the extent applicable. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); Smalls, 720 F.3d at 195. We review a district court’s decision whether to grant a § 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Munn, 595 F.3d 183, 186 (4th Cir.2010). In so doing, we may not substitute our judgment for that of the district court, but instead consider whether the court’s exercise of discretion was arbitrary or capricious. United States v. Mason, 52 F.3d 1286, 1289 (4th Cir.1995); see also United States v. Jeffery, 631 F.3d 669, 679 (4th Cir.2011) (). Our review of the record demonstrates that ### Response: holding that district courts discretion is extremely broad " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: already affirmed the portion of the damages award that was not dependent on any tolling theory, see id. at 395, 406, so Rule 37(a), not Rule 37(b), governed post-judgment interest on those damages. Second, Mt. Hood I did not direct the entry of a particular, modified money judgment, but simply remanded to the district court to assess the equitable tolling theory. See Mt. Hood II, 616 F.2d at 395; Mt. Hood I, 583 F.2d at 469. Thus, Rule 37(b)’s limitation on the district court’s authority to award post-judgment interest was simply inapplicable in Mt. Hood II. Physicians may have been led astray by language in Mt. Hood II suggesting that we take an expansive approach to the award of post-judgment interest. See Mt. Hood II, 616 F.2d at 406-07; see also Handgards, 743 F.2d at 1299 & n. 26 ().

After reviewing the record in this case, we conclude that the selection process used to prepare Mid America’s Title Commitment No. 125266 fails to meet this minimal level of creativity. Selecting which facts to include in this compilation of data was not a matter of discretion based on Mid America’s personal judgment or taste, but instead it was a matter of convention and strict industry standards. As the affidavits introduced by Kirk suggest, all title examiners preparing a proper title commitment for the Frankfort property would have referred to the same sources of information and ultimately would have selected the same facts to include in their title commitments. See Victor Lalli Enterprises v. Big Red Apple, Inc., 936 F.2d 671, 672 (2d Cir.1991) (). In essence, Mid America’s selection of the ### Response: holding that betting charts are not sufficiently original to merit copyright protection because ujnless a publisher were to make a mistake the information in the charts does not vary in the slightest as between publishers and is derived from commonly ascertainable sources " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is actionable as securities fraud is not inconsistent with the Court’s earlier memorandum (Doc. 181) at the motion to dismiss stage. At that time, the in-depth factual analysis needed to determine whether the contracts at issue were “securities” precluded the Court from fully addressing the issue of whether the alleged conduct was actionable as securities fraud. Because the annuity contracts, aside from the QPA-2, were “securities,” the connection between the alleged fraud and the purchase or sale of securities is not as attenuated as the twice-removed relationship described in the earlier memorandum. (See Doc. 181 at 37-38.) Accordingly, the alleged pay-to-play scheme may form the basis of section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 securities fraud violations. See Burton, 127 F.Supp.2d at 676- 77 (), vi.

The exercise of authority provided in this article shall not constitute the provision of liability insurance protection under Article I, Section II, Paragraph IX of the Constitution. OCGA § 45-9-5. This language is almost identical to OCGA § 36-85-20, the statute at issue here. In Price we examined OCGA § 45-9-5 and concluded that the expressed legislative intent must give way to the mandate of the constitution. Id. at n. 2. In Price we rejected out of hand the assertion that the program of self-insurance did not constitute liability insurance within the meaning of the constitution. See also Martin v. Dept. of Public Safety, 257 Ga. 300 (357 SE2d 569) (1987) ().

Plaintiff concludes that the contract is essentially an “as is” contract despite the “illusion of warranty” which appears on the contract’s face.

Due Process {30} Defendant also argues that the delay in concluding the amenability hearing on remand violated his due process rights. “To prevail on a claim that delay in the proceedings violated Defendant’s right to due process, Defendant must prove prejudice and an intentional delay by the State to gain a tactical advantage.” State v. Gibson, 113 N.M. 547, 559, 828 P.2d 980, 992 (Ct.App.1992). The prejudice shown must be “actual” and “substantial.” Id. For the same reasons just discussed, the record does not demonstrate any of these features.

In both states, in fact, courts have held that prenatal care records are not exclusively those of the mother but also belong equally to the infant. Accordingly, by filing such a medical malpractice action, either the mother or the infant plaintiff through his mother waives the physician-patient privilege with respect to prenatal care records. See, e.g., Scharlack v. Richmond Memorial Hospital, 102 A.D.2d 886, 888, 477 N.Y.S.2d 184, 187 (1984) (). See also Hughson v.

Nonetheless, because we think the issue is important, especially in the context of sentencing, we write separately to explain why we think the parties were likely misguided in their assumption. Our premise is simple: We are required to apply “a clear error standard of review for appellate challenges to judicial fact-finding at sentencing,” United States v. Garcia, 413 F.3d 201, 222 (2d Cir.2005), without regard to whether appellant objected to the trial judge’s factual findings below. As the Supreme Court recently stated in Gall v. United States, — U.S.-, 128 S.Ct. 586, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007), we review a sentencing court’s factual determinations for clear error. See id. at 597 (); see also United States v.

N.C.G.S. § 5043.2(a) (1987). The determination of what “will best promote the interest and welfare of the child,” that is, “what is in the best interest of the child,” is a conclusion of law, Steele v. Steele, 36 N.C. App. 601, 604, 244 S.E.2d 466, 468 (1978), and this conclusion must be supported by findings of fact as to the characteristics of the parties competing for custody. Id. “These findings may concern the physical, mental, or financial fitness or any other factors brought out by the evidence and relevant to the issue of the welfare of the child.” Id. These findings cannot, however, be mere conclusions. See Kerns v. Southern, 100 N.C. App. 664, 667, 397 S.E.2d 651, 653 (1990) ().

As noted above, Gamory made a Batson challenge to four of the government’s six peremptory strikes. On appeal, he claims that the government used all of its “six” peremptory strikes against African-Americans. The record does not reflect the race of jurors 18 and 20 which Gamory now claims were stricken in violation of Batson. To the extent there is an issue with respect to the race of jurors 18 and 20, Gamoiy failed to make a sufficient record in the District Court to allow us to review this claim. See United States v. Sangineto-Miranda, 859 F.2d 1501, 1520 (6th Cir.1988) ().

P’ship I-E v. Newton Corp., 161 S.W.3d 482, 487 (Tex.2005). In equity, Texas law would allow the Cades to sue to reform the deed based, on mutual mistake, but they must bring that claim within the four-year statute of limitations. For the reasons the Court explains, I agree that the law charges the Cades with knowledge of the deed’s contents as of the date they signed it, so they cannot rely on the discovery rule to toll the statute of limitations, which expired before they filed suit to reform the deed in February 2011.

Mr. Corner 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.

In that case, we stated, “[W]e hold that Ram-Forwarding was entitled to recover attorney’s fees even though it recovered zero damages for its civil theft claim.” Id. However, the reasoning this Court employed was that a party could “prevail” without recovering damages. Id. Given the supreme court’s holding in Intercontinental that a party who does not receive any relief on its claim cannot be the prevailing party under the ordinary meaning of that term, this Court’s prior opinion is no longer a correct statement of the law concerning “prevailing party.” We therefore decline to follow Johns to the extent it has been implicitly overruled by the supreme court’s decision in Intercontinental.

An infamous crime may include some felonies and some misdemeanors, but crimes marked by gross moral turpitude alone are not sufficient to render a crime infamous for purposes of the Infamous Crimes Clause. Prototypical examples of infamous crimes are treason, perjury, malicious prosecution, and election fraud, all of which were subject to disenfranchisement for at least 26 years prior to the 1850 Convention, see R.L. 1824, ch. 29, § 71, at 150; id. § 31, at 144; R.L. 1824, ch. 35, § 6, at 167; R.S. 1843, ch. 54, § 79, at 999; R.S. 1843, ch. 53, § 77, at 976; R.S. 1843, ch. 5, § 158, at 153. Although most of these examples involve elements of deceit and dishonesty, cf Oldner, 206 S.W.3d at 822 (), the critical element is that they attempt to ### Response: holding that an infamous crime under the arkansas constitution is a crime involving elements of deceit and dishonesty " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of Rule 35(a) at issue. The facts before this Court clearly indicate that White’s physical condition is “in controversy,” as required by Rule 35(a). White filed this personal-injury action, seeking damages for pain and suffering, including a continuing burning sensation in his foot. White asserts that this ongoing discomfort is caused by the battery acid that he alleges a Wal-Mart employee allowed to leak on him. Wal-Mart argues that the ongoing discomfort is the result of White’s previously existing medical conditions, chiefly poor blood circulation. Because the medical cause of White’s discomfort is clearly in dispute, Wal-Mart has established that White’s “physical condition” is “in controversy.” Compare Lahr v. Fulbright & Jaworski, L.L.P., 164 F.R.D. 196, 199 (N.D.Tex.1995) (), with Neal v. Siegel-Robert, Inc., 171 F.R.D. ### Response: holding that the plaintiff had placed her medical condition in controversy by alleging that she had suffered severe mental or emotional distress " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to comply with the requirements for filing a third-party claim to the Subject Funds. B. Griffin Lacks Standing to Assert a Claim Notwithstanding the timeliness of Griffin’s attempt to file a third-party petition, Griffin’s prospective petition must be dismissed due to her lack of standing to pursue a claim in the ancillary proceeding. Griffin claims that she is entitled to $17,702.65 in wages, vacation pay, and payroll deductions arising from past services rendered to GDC. (See Griffin Ltr. ¶ 2.) Because Griffin cannot claim ownership or a security interest in any specific assets contained in the preliminary orders of forfeiture, Griffin’s general claim for monies owed to her would only establish her as a general creditor of GDC with a right to payment. See Schwimmer, 968 F.2d at 1581 ().

In specifying the duration of the automatic stay, paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 362(c) distinguish between acts against property of the estate (the stay continues so long as property remains property of the estate) and all other acts (the stay continues until the case is closed or dismissed or until a discharge is granted or denied). The language “with respect to the debtor” in 11 U.S.C. section 362(c)(3)(A) has therefore been an occasion for some bankruptcy courts to “differentiate between the debtor, property of the debtor, and property of the estate”. See, e.g., Jumpp v. Chase Home Fin., LLC, 356 Bankr. 789, 794 (B.A.P. 1st Cir. 2006) ().

Borawski, 64 F.Supp.3d 473, 494 (W.D.N.Y.2014) (finding that, even if the defendant did ignore the claimed “broken ribs, ankle fracture and lower right-side back injury,” the “plaintiff cannot meet the objective component of an Eighth Amendment violation”); Alster v. Goord, 745 F.Supp.2d 317, 337 (S.D.N.Y.2010) (“Because hospital records reveal no fractures or dislocation, this injury is not sufficiently serious to meet the objective prong of the Eighth Amendment standard.”); Dallio v.

There, we addressed the issue of whether a defendant who violated his probation under Proposition 200 could opt to reject further probation. Id. at 3, 43 P.3d at 218. The Tousignant court held that he could not because A.R.S. § 13-901.01(E) (2001) mandates probation, and incarceration is not an option. Id. at 4, 43 P.3d at 220; see also In re Fernando C., 195 Ariz. 233, 234, ¶ 5, 986 P.2d 901, 902 (App.1999) ().

Hearing on H.B. 1351 Before the House Judiciary Comm., 58th N.D. Legis. Sess. (Jan. 22, 2003).

The Director is correct in his assertion that the trial court erroneously declared and applied the law. In its judgment, the court stated: “Upon the evidence offered, adjudged and adduced the Court finds the expressed reason for the [tjrooper’s stop of [Jones’s] motor vehicle to be insufficient and the [o]fficer lacked reasonable suspicion therefor.” The trial court’s reliance on whether Trooper Creasey had a reasonable suspicion for the initial stop is misplaced.

The Administrative Code prevents DPI from imposing a twenty-five percent bond requirement on an MPCP school in the absence of proof that the school is not financially viable. Travis Tech contends that the Administrative Code bond requirement— which it voluntarily accepted in the Agreement— violates state law. Essentially, Travis Tech argues that parties can never stipulate to provisions that abrogate any part of statutory law. We disagree. ¶ 18. Case law has repeatedly held that although a statute permits certain actions, parties may nonetheless stipulate to the contrary. See Rice v.

Richardson, 943 F.2d 547 (5th Cir. 1991) (finding suppression inappropriate when the magistrate and prosecutor were unaware that the recording equipment did not work, and where no record was made); United States v. Rome, 809 F.2d 665 (10th Cir. 1987) (refusing to suppress evidence when the preliminary discussions between the magistrate and the agent were not recorded); United States v.

Thus, while § 105(a) vests bankruptcy courts with inherent power to sanction parties for improper conduct, it “does not authorize the bankruptcy courts to create substantive rights that are otherwise unavailable under applicable law.” Pertuso, 233 F.3d at 423, fn. 1, quoting United Sates v. Sutton, 786 F.2d 1305, 1308 (5th Cir.1986). Bankruptcy courts have used their authority to impose contempt sanctions pursuant to § 105 in a variety of circumstances. Hardy v.

Furthermore, the annex received natural gas from a source outside the State of Minnesota. We conclude that the Church school’s use of materials purchased in interstate commerce, coupled with its use of natural gas from an out-of-state source, satisfy the jurisdictional element of section 844(i). See Hicks, 106 F.3d at 189-90 (supply of gas to private homes is a major interstate activity); United States v.

The Texas Supreme Court has held that a party who wants protection under the Act must report a violation to the proper agency. Tex. Dep’t of Transp. v. Needham, 82 S.W.3d 314, 319 (Tex. 2002). The proper agency, in this case, is one that has the authority to regulate under, enforce, investigate, or prosecute a violation of Texas’s sexual harassment and employment retaliation statutes. Id. This court has held that a city’s general authority to regulate under, enforce, and investigate claims of sexual harassment is not enough to make it an appropriate law enforcement authority under the Act. See City of Weatherford v. Catron, 88 S.W.3d 261, 268-69 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2002, no pet.) ().

Norman does not otherwise challenge the granting of the summary judgment on negligence or gross negligence. Norman’s third issue is overruled. III. Conclusion Having overruled Norman’s remaining issues on appeal, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. 1 . Compare Nowzaradan v.

Officers found Neeman asleep in a car that was parked askew with its lights on and engine running. After they woke him up, the officers noticed that Neeman had watery, red eyes. Although Neeman passed the field sobriety tests subsequently administered to him, the officers continued to detain him while they visually inspected his vehicle. The officers found marijuana. We held that the detention for the vehicle inspection was appropriately supported by the suspicious circumstances present. Neeman, 2000 WL 489581, *1. 4 .

AFFIRMED. 1 . At the time of Crews’s conviction, delivery of a controlled substance under Oregon law was codified at section 475.992. 2 . After granting Crews a downward variance from the sentencing range of 57-71 months, the district court sentenced Crews to 37 months. 3 .Because we hold that Oregon Revised Statutes section 163.175(1)(b) is a ""crime of violence” within the meaning of Guidelines section 4B 1.2(a)(2), we need not determine whether it also meets the generic definition of ""aggravated assault” listed in the Application Notes to Guidelines section 4B1.2. Cf. United States v. Granbois, 376 F.3d 993, 995 (9th Cir.2004) (); United States v. Jennen, 596 F.3d 594, 600-02 ### Response: holding that a prior conviction for abusive sexual contact under 18 usc 2244a3 was a per se crime of violence within the meaning of the application notes and declining to consider application of the residual clause " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Code, See Tex.Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 51.014(6) (Vernon Supp.1997). Section 51.014(6) states that a person may appeal from an interlocutory order of a district court, county court at law, or county court that “denies a motion for summary judgment that is based in whole or in part upon a claim against or defense by a member of the electronic or print media ... arising under the free speech or free press clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or Article 1, Section 8, of the Texas Constitution, or Chapter 73.” Id. Therefore, the only defendant entitled to bring an interlocutory appeal is HBO, a division of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. See Time Warner Entertainment Co., L.P. v.

Dr. LoPresti claims that his decision not to refer patients to these specialists was guided heavily by Vermont’s prohibition on unprofessional conduct contained in 26 V.S.A. §§ 1354, 1398, and by numerous provisions of the AMA Principles. Dr. LoPresti asserts that his employers wanted him to make the referrals for financial reasons, notwithstanding the prohibition of such practices contained in the aforementioned ethical codes. He alleges that a discharge based on these grounds violates compelling public policy that restricts an employer’s otherwise unfettered discretion to discharge employees. See Payne v. Rozendaal, 147 Vt. 488, 491-92, 520 A.2d 586, 588 (1986) ().

Kitchen Magic, Inc., 391 A.2d 1184, 1187 (D.C.1978). This rule, as the trial court indicated, appears to be mere dicta in this jurisdiction. Courts refer to the rule only to establish that allegations of fraud trigger a well-established exception to the “rule.” See, e.g., Fed. Mktg. Co. v. Virginia Impression Prods. Co., 823 A.2d 513, 528 (D.C.2003) (); King, supra, 391 A.2d at 1187 (holding that ### Response: holding that the trial courts limiting of claims to those occurring five years before the date of filing under laches was reasonable generous even inasmuch as it was two years beyond the statutory limitations pe riod " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: had probable cause to believe that she did.

We therefore proceed to the usual inquiry whether the evidence most favorable to the plaintiff supports a finding that probable cause was lacking. 11 We have no occasion to compare “probable cause” for this purpose with “probable cause” justifying various actions in criminal prosecutions. 12 Cf. Burnham v. Collateral Loan Co., 179 Mass. 268, 275 (1901) (investigation unnecessary where it would be immaterial to crime suspected); Keefe v. Johnson, 304 Mass. 572, 578 (1939) (investigation unnecessary where there is no one of whom to inquire). 13 The test articulated by the Restatement is in accord with the law of a number of other jurisdictions.

While predictive statements are typically not actionable, “a defendant does not place itself beyond the reach of the securities laws merely by disclosing information that is predictive in nature ... whether liability is imposed depends on whether the predictive statement was false when it was made.” Rubinstein v. Collins, 20 F.3d 160, 166 (5th Cir.1994); Isquith v. Middle South Utilities Inc., 847 F.2d 186, 204 (5th Cir.1988). Here, there is evidence suggesting that Pardo intentionally refused to disclose to LPHI investors that he knew large numbers of active LEs were long. That being the case, there is a genuine question as to whether the CEO “spoke the full truth.” See Lormand v. U.S. Unwired, Inc., 565 F.3d 228, 249 (5th Cir.2009) ().

The detention in question lasted no longer than the time it took for Officer Owen to deliberate about the test results before Officer Seifert discovered drugs on the passenger and notified Officer Owen. The brief time period met the requirements of diligence; the stop in its entirety lasted approximately ten minutes. See Werner, 117 N.M. at 319, 871 P.2d at 975 ().

Finally, this litigation served a clear public purpose. Unlike the plaintiff in Farrar, Plaintiffs never sought any extravagant or personal financial benefit.

While the settlement and receipt of nominal damages did little for Plaintiffs personally, their victory undoubtedly signaled to the MTA the importance of ensuring that its regulations do not intrude upon our most basic constitutional and democratic rights. See Lippoldt v. Cole, 468 F.3d 1204, 1224 (10th Cir.2006) ().

Section 213.111.2, governing MHRA actions, provides, in pertinent part, that the ""court ... may award to the plaintiff actual and punitive damages.” (Emphasis added.) 4 . If the appellant were successful in its claim in Point I, that the issue of punitive damages was not subject to trial by jury in a MMPA case, the claim in this point would not be one of submissibility. Rather, it would simply be a matter of the sufficiency of the evidence to support the trial court's decision in keeping with the standard of review of Murphy v.

Ms. Phillips also argues there is no conflict in the activities she did and a finding that she should.be psychiatrically disabled under the “B” criteria. Ms. Phillips notes the regulations specify that even when a claimant can perform many simple tasks, she may have marked restriction in concentration, persistence, or pace if the claimant cannot perform the 'tasks without extra supervision, assistance, or' in accordance with quality and accuracy standards, or át a consistent pace without an unreasonable number and length of rest periods, or without undue interruptions or distractions. Thus, Ms. Phillips argues, her undertaking of simple tasks does not prevent a finding of psychiatrically disabled under the Listings. See Bauer v. Astrue, 532 F.3d 606, 608-09 (7th Cir.2008) (). Specifically, Ms. Phillips argues the ALJ did ### Response: holding that the fact that a claimant who suffered from mental impairments could dress appropriately shop for food prepare meals perform chores take care of hygiene and care for a 13 year old son only meant that the plaintiff was not a raving maniac who needs to be locked up but did not contradict opinions of disability from the treating mental health professionals " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: They did not specifically relate to the ability of the actual DMT machines used in defendants’ cases to meet the performance standards promulgated by the DOH at the time their breath-alcohol was measured, as required by statute to establish the admissibility of the evidence at trial.

Rolfe, 166 Vt. 1, 11-12, 686 A.2d 949, 956-57 (1996) (interpreting term “valid” in § 1203(d) to establish threshold of admissibility of test into evidence). In other words, defendants’ allegations did not contest the foundational facts justifying admission of the test results; their arguments went solely to the weight of the evidence.

Ashcroft, 336 F.3d at 151-52 (and cases cited therein). Case láw generally focuses on two parts of this standard: the employer’s intentional conduct and the intolerable level of the work conditions. Focusing first on the intent requirement, we recognize that in some constructive discharge cases, plaintiffs have been able to establish that employers acted'with the specific intent to prompt employees’ resignations. See, e.g., Kirsch v. Fleet Street Ltd., 148 F.3d 149, 161-62 (2d Cir.1998) (upholding jury finding of constructive discharge where evidence indicated that employer nodded affirmatively when plaintiff suggested that the company was trying to force her to leave); Lopez v.

Significantly, when an arm’s length relationship existed between the defendant and the victim such that the discretionary authority entrusted to the defendant was not directly from the victim, a section 3B1.3 enhancement was held to be improper. See, e.g., Jolly, 102 F.3d at 48-50 (concluding that president of corporation did not stand in a position of trust relative to creditors of the corporation); United States v.

Purdy’s actions are a deliberate attempt to take advantage of Hinderaker’s goodwill, reputation, and prestige in order to divert traffic to Purdy’s web page and to generate publicity. Purdy argues that “hindrocket” is not a mark owned or used by Faegre and that he cannot be liable for appropriating a pseudonym. As long as a pseudonym clearly identifies the plaintiff, it is protected from appropriation. See, e.g., McFarland v. Miller, 14 F.3d 912, 922 (3d Cir.1994) (); Ackerman v.

In addition to these negligence claims relating to proper lookout, train speed and warnings, plaintiff claims that KCS negligently failed to maintain traffic control devices at the Hickory crossing. In connection with its motion, KCS has presented evidence that federally-funded warning devices, in the form of warning signs, were present at the time of the accident, which are adequate as a matter of law. See Norfolk Southern Ry. Co. v. Shanklin, 529 U.S. 344, 357-58, 120 S.Ct. 1467, 146 L.Ed.2d 374 (2000) ().

Put differently, the traditional requirements of Christian worship, such as weekly services and periodic prayer, tend to be less time-consuming and disruptive of the SDC program than the requirements of Islamic worship, which involves group services, prayers five times per day, and strict dietary restrictions. Although both Christian and Muslim inmates are given comparable opportunities to practice their religions, the Muslim religion’s more rigorous requirements may mean that SDC’s boot camp regimen has a disparate impact on Muslims. Yet, the Supreme Court has never held that a prison regulation’s disparate impact on an inmate’s unconventional religious practices is constitutionally significant. Cf. Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 96 S.Ct. 2040, 48 L.Ed.2d 597 (1976) ().

Darden, 508 U.S. at 323-24, 112 S.Ct. at 1348-49. Although the Supreme Court did not specifically address the ADEA in Darden, we find no reason to deviate from the common-law test for purposes of determining employee status under the ADEA. See Speen v. Crown Clothing Corp., 102 F.3d 625, 631 (1st Cir.1996) (adopting the common-law test “for determining who qualifies as an ‘employee’ under the ADEA” and disregarding decisions to the contrary in other circuits); Frankel v.

The court did not clearly err in relying on the PSR and finding that the included statements were reliable.

Iowa Code section 147.76 (2007) confers upon the board the authority to “adopt all necessary and proper rules to implement and interpret [chapter 155A].” See also Iowa Code § 155A.3(3) (stating the term “board” in chapter 155A refers to the board of pharmacy examiners). We have previously held similar language in other statutes constituted a clear vesting in the agency of the authority to interpret a statute. Thoms v. Iowa Pub. Employees’ Ret. Sys., 715 N.W.2d 7, 11 (Iowa 2006) (finding a clear vesting of interpretive authority where a statute directed the agency to “adopt ... rules ... and take other action it deems necessary for the administration of the retirement system”); Auen, 679 N.W.2d at 590 (); City of Marion v.

This risk is only greater in light of the issuance of our decision in Fuller, given the potential that defendants may seek the Fuller remedy at a time when a habeas petition would be timely, only to have a panel hold after expiration of the AEDPA limitations period that Moreno-Rivera forecloses such relief. Though it may not be the case that a Fuller remedy is worth pursuing in light of more recent jurisprudence, compare Urinyi v. United States, 607 F.3d 318, 321 (2d Cir. 2010) (), with Fuller, 332 F.3d at 65 (expressing ### Response: holding that a 2255 petition seeking only reinstatement of the right to a direct appeal does not render any later petition a second or successive petition under the aedpa " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of the defendant. Fowler, _N.C. App. at _, _S.E.2d at _. As should be obvious, the search at issue in Fowler was upheld on the basis that the record showed the existence of exigent circumstances justifying an immediate examination of the defendant’s underwear and his anal and genital areas. In Battle, on the other hand, a similar search of the area beneath the defendant’s underwear was invalidated given the absence of exigent circumstances of the type present in Fowler. Smith, on the other hand, upheld a search underneath the defendant’s underwear despite the absence of any exigent circumstances of the sort found in Fowler. According to well-established principles of North Carolina law, we are bound by each of these decisions. Cannon v.

Id. It is undisputed that legitimate security concerns justified Defendants’ decision to suspend Plaintiffs phone and visitation from December 1 through 5, 2007. Once Defendants had installed proper equipment to monitor his conversations, Plaintiffs phone privileges were restored. Moreover, Plaintiff was only denied phone and visitation privileges for five days. See Overton, 539 U.S. at 133-137, 123 S.Ct. 2162 ().

Indeed, that is the conclusion reached by both District Judges in the proceedings below. In general, a limited public forum is created when the government opens a nonpublic forum for public expression, but limits expressive activity to certain kinds of speakers or the discussion of particular subjects. See Travis v. Owego-Apalachin Sch. Dist. 927 F.2d 688, 692 (2d Cir.1991). However, as the Supreme Court has noted, “[a] [limit]ed public forum is not created when the government allows selective access for individual speakers rather than general access for a class of speakers.” Forbes, 523 U.S. at 679, 118 S.Ct. 1633; see also Fighting Finest, Inc. v. Bratton, 95 F.3d 224, 230 (2d Cir.1996) ().

E. Constitutionality of the Estate Tax. The Estate raises a challenge to the constitutionality of the federal estate tax. It argues that the tax as applied in this case is an uneonstitutionál direct tax. The Estate concedes that a tax on property actually transferable to a decedent’s heirs is constitutional. It asserts, however, that a tax on the portion of the estate used to pay the estate tax is an unconstitutional tax on a tax, resulting in this case in an effective rate of 92.7% on the property actually received by the heirs. The Estate contends that 0 S.Ct. 356, 74 L.Ed. 991 (1930) (same); New York Trust Co. v. Eisner, 256 U.S. 345, 348-49, 41 S.Ct. 506, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (); Knowlton v.

And the Gantt court explicitly found a deliberate violation, thus avoiding the question of whether the violation was “technical” or “fundamental.” 194 F.3d at 994. The Gantt defendant waited three hours and was never able to examine a complete copy of the warrant. Here, there was substantial evidence that Aase received a full copy of the warrant only minutes into the search. 673, 677-78, 495 P.2d 682 (1972) (). Compare State v. Ettenhofer, 119 Wn.

Younghanz cites no authority, and we have found none, for considering the right to seek a cure for one’s illness as a fundamental right. He relies on cases holding unconstitutional ordinances restricting the right to seek certain kinds of medical treatment. However, those cases concern an infringement upon recognized fundamental privacy rights relating to personal family matters and family planning. (See City of Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, Inc.

For example, a breach of contract under Alabama law requires: “(1) the existence of a valid contract binding the parties in the action, (2) [the plaintiffs] own performance under the contract, (3) the defendant’s nonperformance, and (4) damages.” Southern Med. Health Sys., Inc. v. Vaughn, 669 So.2d 98, 99 (Ala.1995). Yet there is no reference to any contract in the complaint. Morrow’s allegation of unjust enrichment is likewise vague. Consequently, the court grants Morrow the opportunity to amend her complaint in order to plead her claims properly. The defendants alternatively argue that, even if Morrow’s claims for breach of contract and unjust 1348 (11th Cir.1994) (), with, e.g., Herman v. RSR Sec.

The requisites of promissory estoppel in Texas are (1) a promise, (2) foreseeability of reliance thereon by the promisor, and (3) substantial reliance by the promisee to his detriment. English v. Fischer, 660 S.W.2d 521, 524 (Tex.1983). For the same reasons Appellants lack standing to assert a breach of contract cause of action, they likewise lack standing to assert a promissory estoppel cause of action. The summary judgment evidence conclusively establishes that Vantage did not make any promise to Appellants; Appellants do not dispute this, but claim only that Vantage made a promise to SFWA. In short, Appellants are not “promisees” who can assert the independent claim of promissory estoppel against Vantage. See, e.g., Wheeler v. White, 398 S.W.2d 93, 97 (Tex.1965) (); see also O’Connor’s Texas Causes of Action ### Response: recognizing promissory estop pel theory may be invoked when promisee obtains promise from promisor that is less than a legally sufficient contract " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 632 (Utah 1987). Because the length of the delay is only a starting point, we must also evaluate other factors. The second and often dispositive factor involved in questions of speedy trial is the cause of delay. See Barker, 407 U.S. at 530-31, 92 S.Ct. at 2191-92. The trial court found, “All of the delays since charges were originally filed in 1990 have been based on issues of Defendant’s competency to proceed.” That delays caused by questions of competency do not impinge on an accused’s right to a speedy trial is well established. See Johnson, 333 F.2d at 374; United States v. Abou-Kassem, 78 F.3d 161 (5th Cir.1996) (stating that where defendant requests mental evaluation, resulting delay does not violate right to speedy trial); Lokos v. Capps, 625 F.2d 1258, 1268 n. 5 (5th Cir.1980) ().

The district court construed ""resin additive” to be ""a substance that by its properties is not typically by itself formed into a stretch wrap film layer and that is compounded into a resin”' — i.e., a non-resin substance. Multilayer v. Inteplast, 2013 WL 5972195, at *43. Multilayer does not contest this construction on appeal. Because claim 32 merely describes incorporation of a non-resin, it is not evidence that claim 1 should be open to incorporation of an unrecited resin. See Conoco, 460 F.3d at 1360 (noting that ""[a]lthough 'consisting of' is a term of restriction, the restriction is not absolute” and may permit impurities or ""additional components or steps that are unrelated to the invention”); see also Norian, 363 F.3d at 1331 (). 6 .

The government contends that whenever a portion of a sentencing package is challenged, the -judge modifying the sentencing package should be able to modify any portion of that package as long as the resulting aggregate sentence is less onerous than it was prior to the challenge. This argument is based on the holistic nature of the trial judge’s sentencing decision: .rather than sentencing count by count, the judge looks at the .totality of the defendant’s conduct and fashions a sentencing package he deems to he the appropriate societal response. This government contention has already been accepted by this court as the preferable approach in the context of resentencing after a direct appeal. See, e.g., United States v. Curry, 902 F.2d 912 (11th Cir. 1990) ().

The local ordinance directly affects the same subject matter—boat moorings. Yet, the state law expressly provides concurrent jurisdiction to local governments to legislate in the field; boat mooring was regulated locally prior to the enactment of the State Boat Act, see Md. Acts of 1960, ch. 69, § 8(c) (explaining that the Act expressly preempts existing local laws), and local laws existed governing that subject matter; the DNR has recognized the authority of the local governments to act in the field; and the system of state and local regulation has coexisted without chaos or confusion for over 20 years. These factors make plain that the General Assembly did not intend that the st Co., 450 U.S. 311, 101 S.Ct. 1124, 67 L.Ed.2d 258 (1981)().

Iowa Code chapter 364 does not define sidewalk. Iowa Code section 321.1(72) defines sidewalk as “that portion of a street between the curb lines, or the lateral lines of a roadway, and the adjacent property lines intended for the use of pedestrians.” This definition, however, is of little help because its application is limited to chapter 321. See Iowa Code § 321.1 (“The following words and phrases when used in this chapter shall, for the purposes of this chapter, have the meanings respectively ascribed to them.” (Emphasis added.)); Humphries, 566 N.W.2d at 871 ().

If you do that, then at the end of the two-year period, the plea that you’ve entered today will be crossed out and vacated and the case will be dismissed. ISSUE Did the district court err in staying adjudication of conviction? ANALYSIS The state argues that the district court erred in deferring adjudication of Ohrt’s conviction and in providing that, upon successful completion of probation, the plea would be vacated and the charge dismissed. The state argues that the circumstances of this case do not support a stay of adjudication. See State v. Krotzer, 548 N.W.2d 252, 254-55 (Minn.1996) (); cf. State v.

The Court, therefore, ordered Mr. Desselle to pay over to the Chapter 7 trustee the $9,656 585-87 (D.Mass.1992) (after finding that the failure to provide detailed records warrants reduction or disallowance of fees, the court reduced a deficient interim fee application by forty-two percent); In re Land, 138 B.R. 66, 71 (D.Neb.1992) (); In re Cascade Oil Co., Inc., 126 B.R. 99, 105 ### Response: holding the court has discretion to deny compensation to an attorney who does not comply with the code and bankruptcy rules and submits a fee application without sufficient specificity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: after an appeal, matters that were either (i) not raised on appeal, but should have been, or (ii) raised on appeal, but expressly rejected by the appellate court.

It is worth noting that because the statutory framework has changed, this situation will not likely arise again. 35 U.S.C. § 154(b)(1)(A) now provides that the PTO provide at least one § 132 notification (i.e. notification of rejection or reexamination) not later than 14 months after the application is filed.

The state plan “directly conflicts with” the federal statute, “which clearly states that providers cannot deny services to a recipient on account of an inability to pay a co-pay.” Id. at 8.

Other federal courts have found unlawful state Medicaid plan provisions that allowed providers to refuse services to participants unable to pay a cost-sharing charge, but those courts did not address the issue of past-due co-payments.

Digital attempted to frame its rights under the private settlement agreement — a broad defense to liability and right not to stand trial — as the equivalent of government officials’ qualified immunity or a criminal defendant’s double jeopardy protection, both of which the Supreme Court previously held provided grounds for interlocutory appeals under the collateral order doctrine.

Jurisdictions adopting the intent rule have developed two formulations with similar purposes. Some jurisdictions hold that the parol evidence rule is inapplicable in an action by a party to a release and a stranger to that agreement. See, e.g., Neves, 769 P.2d at 1054; Sims v. Honda Motor Co., 225 Conn. 401, 623 A.2d 995, 1003 (1993). Under this formulation of the intent rule, parol evidence of the parties’ intentions is admissible even when the terms of the release are facially unambiguous. See, e.g., Sims, 623 A.2d at 1004 n. 12. Other jurisdictions hold that extrinsic evidence of the parties intent is admissible only when the court determines as a matter of law that the terms of the release agreement are ambiguous. d 1300, 1303 (1983) ().

The Note was signed on the same day as the Deed, and the first page of the Note was attached to the Deed to provide the description of the Property. The Note unambiguously identified the Property as security for the loan from BMBT to the Millers and even indicated the parties’ intent for the Millers “to actively engage in selling the [PJroperty during the time of [the] contract” to satisfy the Note.

In reality, such a doctrine is merely a recognition of the fundamental principle that regardless of the underlying nature of a cause of action, the accrual of the same must coincide with the aggrieved party’s discovery or duty to discover the act constituting an invasion of his legal rights.

Id. ¶22 The offending language is also functionally separate from the rest of RCW 9A.72.010(1) because the clause “whether a false statement is material shall be determined by the court as a matter of law” dictates procedure, while the preceding clause defining “material false statement” dictates substance. When this court has found procedural provisions to be unconstitutional in part, we have upheld the substantive remainder of those statutes. See, e.g., Household Fin. Corp. v.

Although Defendant used a scanner to create a digital copy of a work, rather than a photocopier to print a physical copy, the methods of copying are equivalent and they are both infringing. A digital copy made without the owner’s permission is copyright infringement. See, e.g., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913, 125 S.Ct. 2764, 162 L.Ed.2d 781 (2005) ().

As to the issue raised by the first rephrased certified question, the First District held that a respondent who would have been released but for the detention under the Act and who was not tried within the thirty-day deadline waives his or her claim if he or she does not seek relief by filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus prior to trial. At the outset, we note that it is well established that a respondent can file a motion to dismiss after the expiration of the thirty-day deadline and, upon denial of that motion, seek pretrial relief by filing a petition for habeas corpus. See Murray v. Regier, 872 So.2d 217, 221-22 (Fla.2002) ().

Such an interpretation requires the statute to be read in the conjunctive (i.e., “(i) and (ii); or (i) and (in)”). Conversely, the Government argues that the statute must be read as containing three co-equal, dependent clauses. The Government’s interpretation requires the statute to be read in the disjunctive (i.e, “(i), or (ii), or (iii)”). Under a disjunctive reading, proof of any one of the three subsections suffices in a prosecution for trafficking in analogue. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has not addressed this precise issue. In fact, when presented the issue, the Eleventh Circuit chose not to resolve it, finding that the substance at issue satisfied both subparagraphs (i) and (ii). United States v.

Whether a landlord’s alleged wrongful service of a three-day notice to pay rent or quit constitutes a constructive eviction is a question of first impression in Utah. The majority of courts that have considered whether service of a notice to quit, without malice or harassment on the part of the landlord, constitutes a constructive eviction have held that it does not, even if the tenant chooses to vacate. These courts have adopted the view that: “[A] mere notice to the tenant to quit, followed by. his vacation of the premises, is not of itself sufficient to constitute an eviction and give the tenant a r Rptr. 566, 570-71 (1973) (); Michaux v.

The VA also points to the dismissal of several other workers whose contracts had expired around the same time period and argues that is evidence that there was no retaliatory motive. The VA’s argument may well be accepted by a factfinder. However, the factfin-der could also accept Sanders’ testimony that a promise of continued employment was made to him and that the VA reneged only after he charged his employer with discrimination.

In support of this claim, Godfred-son fails to allege any facts beyond those supporting his charge of discrimination under the ADEA. But an employee’s termination, even if based upon discrimination, does not rise to the level of “extreme and outrageous conduct” without proof of something more.

Martin states that the detectives encouraged him to confess so they could bring Jacey back to her mother. The detectives stated that the Bible teaches forgiveness and that whether or not “god is number one in your book, it is for people like [Jacey’s mother].” However, this exchange, as with the others previously addressed, did not render Martin’s confession involuntary. Despite this Court’s denunciation of the Christian burial technique in Roman, this Court did not suppress the confession in that case. In fact, the Roman Court upheld the admission of the defendant’s confession because it found that the use of the Christian burial tactic did “not directly result” in the defendant’s confession. 475 So.2d at 1232; Hudson v. State, 538 So.2d 829, 830 (Fla.1989) ().

We believe that such an extension is unlikely, (see, footnote 3, infra), especially in light of such cases as McKeiver v. Pennsylvania, 403 U.S. 528, 91 S.Ct. 1976, 29 L.Ed.2d 647 (1971) (), and Schall v.

The South Carolina Supreme Court shrugged off the possibility of further administrative and trial proceedings, however, preferring to dispose of Lucas’s takings claim on the merits. Cf., e. g., San Diego Gas & Electric Co. v. San Diego, 450 U. S. 621, 631-632 (1981). This unusual disposition does not preclude Lucas from applying for a permit under the 1990 amendment for future construction, and challenging, on takings grounds, any denial. But it does preclude, both practically and legally, any takings claim with respect to Lucas’s past deprivation, i. e., for his having been denied construction rights during the period before the 1990 amendment. See generally First Englisk Evangelical Lutheran Church of Glendale v. County of Los Angeles, 482 U. S. 304 (1987) ().

The City therefore still has time to file citations for alleged violations that occurred in 1996, when, according to Herrada, the last citations were filed. Finally, Herrada lacks standing to argue that hearings are not held despite requests by vehicle owners, because she elected to pay the fine rather than request a hearing. The allegedly false and misleading statements, moreover, do not raise doubts about an owner’s ability to contest the allegations in a hearing, or about the result of paying the fine and thereby waiving a hearing.

In United States v. Young, 470 U.S. 1, 15, 105 S.Ct. 1038, 84 L.Ed.2d 1 (1985), the United States Supreme Court, construing the federal plain-error rule, stated: “‘The Rule authorizes the Courts of Appeals to correct only “particularly egregious errors,” United States v. Frady, 456 U.S. 152, 163 (1982), those errors that “seriously affect the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings,” United States v. Atkinson, 297 U.S. [157], at 160 [ (1936) ]. In other words, the plain-error exception to the contemporaneous-objection rule is to be “used sparingly, solely in those circumstances in which a miscarriage of justice would otherwise result.” United States v.

Since Hampton and Russell were decided, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has had a number of occasions to consider the applicability of the due process clause to convictions of defendants who are shown to be predisposed. E.g., United States v. Milam, 817 F.2d 1113 (4th Cir.1987) (discussing due process argument in relation to counterfeiting case); United States v. Akinseye, 802 F.2d 740, 742-743 & n. 2 (4th Cir.1986) (making distinction between entrapment and due process claim); United States v.

But unlike the value of personal property that may include such considerations as obsolescence, economic gain to the plaintiff, and even sentiment, food has such a basic quality and commonplace identity that a jury could, from its own experience and knowledge, assess its worth without the owner’s own testimony regarding its specific value. Juries may draw from their common knowledge and experiences when resolving fact questions. For example, in some circumstances when parties offer expert opinion testimony, a jury is not necessarily bound by that evidence and “can form its own opinion from other evidence and by use of its own experience and common knowledge.” Colorado Interstate Gas Co. v. Hunt Energy Corp., 47 S.W.3d 1, 14-15 (Tex.App.-Amarillo 2000, pet. denied) (); see K-Mart Corp. v.

In Poynter, a medical malpractice case, the trial court had decided not to excuse for cause a juror who was a patient of one of the defendant doctors and a juror who was a defendant in another medical malpractice suit. The Poynter court noted that: A juror is presumed impartial and the existence of a preconception is insufficient to rebut this presumption if the juror can “lay aside his impression or opinion and render a verdict based on the evidence presented in court.” Id. at 221 (quoting Irvin v. Dowd, 366 U.S. 717, 723, 81 S.Ct. 1639, 1643, 6 L.Ed.2d 751 (1961)). The court then held that the district court had not abused its discretion in deciding not to excuse the two jurors.

In reviewing the disposition of such a motion, “this Court assumes that all well pleaded factual allegations in the complaint are true, as well as all reasonable inferences that may be derived therefrom.” Id.

An administrative interpretation “qualifies for Chevron deference when it appears that Congress delegated authority to the agency generally to make rules carrying the force of law, and that the agency interpretation claiming deference was promulgated in the exercise of that authority.” United States v. Mead Corp., 533 U.S. 218, 226-27, 121 S.Ct. 2164, 150 L.Ed.2d 292 (2001). In Brand X, the Supreme Court afforded Chevron deference to an interpretation contained in a declaratory ruling of the FCC.

We also had concerns as to whether we had jurisdiction to entertain this appeal because Count Two was dismissed by the District Court without prejudice. As noted in text, when we raised this question with counsel for Lui at oral argument, he conceded that Count Two should be dismissed with prejudice, and he forwarded a letter to us acknowledging that fact. 10 .

Given the strong case against Medearis and the uphill climb he faced, by virtue of his own pre- and post-incident conduct, there is no reasonable probability that the letter, if the same had been admitted and used to impeach Whiting, would have created a reasonable doubt with respect to his guilt and changed the outcome of the case. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 694-96, 104 S.Ct. 2052; Medearis, 380 F.3d at 1058-60.

This inconsistency, while perhaps involving a minor detail, was material to Yang’s claim that his wife underwent forced abortions and forced IUD insertions and, when weighed against the entire record, supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination.

Application of Rational Basis Review to Justifications Proffered by Congress. The Court has already addressed the four interests proffered by Congress during the passage of DOMA and found them not to be substantially related to an important governmental objective. Similarly, under the rational basis review, the Court finds that none of Congress’ proffered justifications constitute a rational relation in furtherance of some legitimate governmental end. See Romer, 517 U.S. at 631, 116 S.Ct. 1620 (citing Heller, 509 U.S. at 319-320, 113 S.Ct. 2637). Specifically, the Court finds that Congress’ justification of promoting traditional notions of morality does not satisfy rational basis scrutiny.

Ltd., 652 N.W.2d 159, 177-78 (Iowa 2002); see also Restatement (Second) of Torts § 323, at 135 (1965). That is, a duty can be imposed on a defendant who “undertakes” to render a service to another. See Wright, 652 N.W.2d at 177-78 ().

D. Oklahoma Claims Under the PRSA IC-CO raises tort claims under Oklahoma’s PRSA. IC-CO alleges that these tort claims are a separate issue that was not litigated before. Further, IC-CO argues that none of the statutory defenses apply to these tort claims. J. Aron argues that this claim is barred by collateral estoppel because it was already decided previously by this Court. Even if collateral estoppel does not preclude review, J. Aron argues that the statute has not been violated and it has no application past the first purchaser. The Court finds that collateral estoppel does not apply to IC-CO’s tort claims because the issues are sufficiently separate. See Samson Res. Co. v. SemCrude, L.P. (In re SemCrude, L.P.), 407 B.R. 140, 143 (Bankr.D.Del.2009) ().

Morton, 498 F.2d 765, 770 (D.C.Cir.1974). Of course, the mere fact that information falls within a FOIA exemption does not of itself bar an agency from disclosing the information. Chrysler Corp. v. Brown, 441 U.S. 281, 293, 99 S.Ct. 1705, 1713, 60 L.Ed.2d 208 (1979). But we have held that information falling within Exemption 4 of FOIA also comes within the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1905, which prohibits the disclosure of, inter alia, “trade secrets” and “confidential statistical data.” CNA Fin. Corp. v. Donovan, 830 F.2d 1132, 1151 (D.C.Cir.1987) (), cert. denied, 485 U.S. 977, 108 S.Ct. 1270, ### Response: holding that the scope of the trade secrets act is at least coextensive with that of exemption 4 of foia " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that appellate defense counsel had reason to believe that such relief would be likely to succeed or that defendant indicated an interest in such efforts. Therefore, we conclude that appellate counsel’s failure to so advise defendant was not constitutionally deficient. D. Postconviction Counsel Defendant next contends that his right to counsel was violated by the trial court’s failure to appoint postconviction counsel. We disagree. There is no federal or state constitutional right to counsel in Crim. P. 35 postcon-viction proceedings. Duran v. Price, 868 P.2d 375 (Colo.1994); Brinklow v.

Next, Defendants contend that there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Officer “O’Brien decided to arrest Plaintiff on the mere basis that she ‘needed to be responsible for taking care of (her) child,’ ” or because Officer “O’Brien arrested Plaintiff for abandonment or abuse of a child based on ... the ‘unclean and unhealthy conditions’ of her apartment.” The Court finds that this is not a material factual dispute because the subjective reason why Officer O’Brien arrested Plaintiff is irrelevant to the question of whether Officer O’Brien had probable cause to arrest Plaintiff. See Keylon, 535 F.3d at 1219-20 () (citation omitted). The Court notes that there ### Response: holding that the courts determination of whether an officer had probable cause for an arrest is an independent and objective determination and an officers own subjective reason for the arrest is irrelevant " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: such property under subsection (g)(1) of this section if the trustee had avoided such transfer, if— (1) such transfer is avoidable by the trustee under section 544, 545, 547, 548, 549 or 724(a) of this title ...; and (2) the trustee does not attempt to avoid such transfer. It found Section 522 inapplicable since the transfers at issue were voluntary. Id. A majority of courts (the “Majority”) employs essentially the same statutory analysis as that of In re Higgins and holds that because of no explicit statutory authority, Chapter 13 debtors do not have standing to utilize a trustee’s avoidance powers under Chapter 5. See e.g., Stangel v. Powers (In re Stangel), 219 F.3d 498, 501 (5th Cir.2000), cert. denied, Stangel v.

Prior to the sentencing hearing, Alfaro objected to the enhancement on the ground that he was a juvenile when convicted of the Virginia offense. At the sentencing hearing, Alfaro withdrew this objection after being provided with proof that he was prosecuted as an adult. He did not, however, waive the entirely different objection that he was not convicted of a “crime of violence.” See United States v. Aguilar-Delgado, 120 Fed.Appx. 522, 523 n. 2 (5th Cir.2004) (unpublished) ().

Nevertheless, upon further questioning, she responded affirmatively when asked whether she did vote to convict (i.e., in the past tense and, thus, in the jury room), whether she ultimately agreed with the verdict in its entirety, and whether she did so freely and voluntarily. And given her subsequent affirmations of the verdict, the juror’s initial equivocation regarding the second count does not support an inference that the verdict was less than unanimous. Accordingly, the trial court was not required to instruct the jury to continue its deliberations. For all of the foregoing reasons, Moton’s convictions are affirmed. Decided May 5, 2015.

The Postal Service claims that the well-established presumption favoring judicial review of administrative action is overcome here by the explicit terms of § 410(a). We disagree. The Postal Service assumes that any right that appellees have to judicial review must arise under the APA. This assumption is mistaken. There is no doubt that § 410(a) exempts the Postal Service from the strictures of the APA in cases involving the APA’s procedural requirements. See, e.g., Nat’l Easter Seal Soc’y for Crippled Children & Adults v. USPS, 656 F.2d 754, 766 (D.C.Cir.1981) ().

See id. (“Because [the insured] provides no other reasonable explanation for the four-month delay at issue, the evidence establishes, as a matter of law, that it violated the provision of the policies requiring that ... [notice] be immediately [given] to [the insurer].”). An insured bears the burden of establishing a justification for the delay. See Kay-Lex Co. v. Essex Ins. Co., 286 Ga.App. 484, 649 S.E.2d 602, 606 (2007). Here, Longleaf did not notify QBE of the damage caused by the hailstorm until nine months after the storm. Absent a reasonable explanation, this delay clearly violated the “prompt notice” requirement in Longleafs policy. See Advocate Networks, 674 S.E.2d at 619 (); Bituminous Cas. Corp. v. J.B.

Rather, “[t]he nature of the publicity and whether it is the sort that could be laid aside by jurors, rather than its volume, is the crucial factor to be considered.” Brofford v. Marshall, 751 F.2d 845, 851 (6th Cir.1985) (citing Murphy, 421 U.S. at 794, 95 S.Ct. 2031). In addition to the volume and content of the pretrial publicity, two other factors are relevant in determining whether prejudice is presumed. First, the court should consider the amount of time which has elapsed between the peak pretrial publicity and the actual trial. Murphy, 421 U.S. at 803, 95 S.Ct. 2031; see also Lehder-Rivas, 955 F.2d at 1524 ().

These arguments did not fly below. The district court rejected Uguccioni as “an outlier that has been expressly, if not impliedly, overturned by subsequent decisions.” 512 F.Supp.2d at 126. To be sure, courts in other jurisdictions have equated such private roads with public roads or, at a minimum, have not found any distinction apposite in considering the issue of coverage under a homeowner’s liability policy. See, e.g., Shelter Mut. Ins. Co. v. Davis, No. 05-0456, 2006 WL 929239 (Iowa Ct.App. Apr. 12, 2006) ().

When challenging the District’s assertion of immunity, Manbeck argued that the District could not “avail itself of governmental immunity” because the District initiated the lawsuit. Id. at 532. The supreme court disagreed and explained that the District initiated the “suit as part of the review process under the workers’ compensation regime, but it never sought affirmative relief.” Id. Further, the court reasoned that rather than bring an affirmative claim for money damages “against which Manbeck’s claims could be offset,” the district “merely availed itself of its statutory right to challenge Manbeck’s award of monetary relief by pursuing an appeal of the administrative decision to district court.” Id. at 532-33; see also Reata Constr.

Since the undisputed facts show that Plaintiff did not violate any regulation and was not disruptive, any attempt to exclude Plaintiff from the Quad for merely being present would have been improper. See D’Annibale Dep. at 14 (conceding that the public at large is permitted to utilize the campus without prior permission). Similarly, excluding Plaintiff for his preaching of the Gospel or handing out of leaflets would be unconstitutional. See e.g. Marsh v. Alabama, 326 U.S. 501, 66 S.Ct. 276, 90 L.Ed. 265 (1946) ().

Accordingly, we do not consider whether Code § 15.1-901 would render Norfolk City Code § 1-11 void as applied to non-DUI offenses. There is a split of authority among other jurisdictions on this issue, and it appears to be a question of first impression in Virginia. See 6 Eugene McQuillin, Municipal Corporations § 20.66, at 218 nn.14-18 (3d ed. 1988). It is arguable that the ordinance would be valid up to the limits set out in the state statute.

United States v. Richards, 204 F.3d 177, 193 (5th Cir.2000). Perez has not demonstrated ""clear, specific and compelling prejudice that resulted in an unfair trial,” United States v. Bullock, 71 F.3d 171, 174 (5th Cir.1995), because (1) the conspiracy alleged by the government was not complex, (2) the trial involved only four defendants, and (3) the district court instructed the jury to consider each defendant separately.

The trial judge entered a summary judgment as to all claims, holding that the doctrine of caveat emptor applied to the sale of the lot and, therefore, that the Stricklings were entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. See Rule 56(c), A.R.Civ.P. The Morrises appeal. We affirm. The Morrises argue that the exception to the caveat emptor rule as stated in Cochran v.

Maldonado, 315 F.Supp. 1179, 1180 (D.N.J.), petition denied, 433 P.2d 348 (1970). Damages for pain and suffering are permitted only for pain and suffering that is conscious. Carey, supra, 132 N.J. at 66, 622 A.2d 1279. Many states, including New Jersey, have allowed recovery for conscious pain and suffering whenever it can be shown the injured person survived her injuries, however briefly. See Kellow v.

The court dispensed with the argument that defense counsel should have objected to the foundation for the State’s DNA expert’s testimony by stating that the record would not have supported such an objection. “The record reflects that the expert testified about the DNA testing that she performed herself, and she did not testify about the results of tests performed by another laboratory.” Ibid. Both of these conclusions are reasonable and supported by the record. As discussed above, strategic choices by defense counsel, when reasonable, do not amount to defective performance. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 689, 104 S.Ct. 2052. And defense counsel does not perform defectively by failing to make a meritless objection. Mapes v. Coyle, 171 F.3d 408, 413 (6th Cir.1999) ().

Notably, defendant did not cite section 114 — 5(d) in his motion, he failed to meet the statute’s affidavit requirement, and he never asked the trial court to transfer the motion to another judge for ruling. Thus, we conclude that defendant’s “Motion of Recusal” did not trigger a duty requiring the trial court to transfer the cause to a different judge for ruling. Defendant urges us to liberally construe section 114 — 5(d) and ignore the affidavit requirement. While we agree the statute is to be liberally construed, it should not be interpreted so as to contravene its express provisions. People v. Van Pelt, 18 Ill.

Id at § 1182(h). Petitioner argues that he is entitled to seek relief under § 1182(h) because denying him eligibility under this section would violate the equal protection component in the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. Specifically, Petitioner argues that the statute makes an impermissible distinction because it treats lawful permanent residents and non-lawful permanent residents differently without a rational basis for its decision. Respondents argue that there is no equal protection violation because lawful permanent residents and non-lawful permanent residents are not similarly situated. See Jankowski-Burczyk v.

The magistrate judge found, and we agree, Meyers’s testimony to a court concerning the proper placement of the two foster brothers was a matter of public concern that outweighed the HHS’s interest in promoting efficiency and was therefore protected by the First Amendment.

After the magistrate-judge issued his report, plaintiff had ten days to file written objections to the Report and Recommendation.

Andrews, 329 S.W.3d at 372-73. The court concluded that the defendant’s certification did not expose him to any greater punishment than authorized by the jury’s verdict as required to violate Apprendi. This is because the judgment that certified [the juvenile] to be tried as an adult did not impose any sentence on him whatsoever. Instead, it only determined that his case would be heard in a circuit court of general jurisdiction rather than the juvenile division of the circuit court — a decision to which other courts have determined Apprendi does not apply.

Instead, in her complaint, she alleges that she was treated differently than other employees due to her gender. Compl. at 19, Dkt. 1. Harris’s complaint thus contains a discrimination claim based on disparate treatment only, which is clearly distinct from a hostile environment claim. See Meritor Sav. Bank, FSB v.

We recognize that in general, “[f]ederal protection of tribal self-government precludes either criminal or civil jurisdiction of state courts over Indians or their property absent the consent of Congress.” Felix S. Cohen, Handbook of Federal Indian Law 349 (1982 ed.). However, “at times Congress has retained Indian country status but has delegated partial jurisdiction to states over areas of Indian country or over specific legal subjects.” Id. at 361. Such a Congressional delegation of jurisdiction has occurred in Kansas. 18 U.S.C. § 3243 (the “Kansas Act”) grants the state of Kansas “jurisdiction over all crimes committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations.” See Negonsott v. Samuels, 507 U.S. 99, 105, 113 S.Ct. 1119, 1123, 122 L.Ed.2d 457 (1993) (); Oyler v.

The New York courts have declined to expand the exception under Wieder based on duties dictated by other professional codes or statute. See, e.g., Horn v.

Look at how their testimony stacks up with the phone records, look at how it stacks up to the defendants’ own words, look at how it stacks up to the experiences of the other cooperating witnesses and the testimony of law enforcement officers who conducted the surveillance and made the arrests in this case, and use your common sense. 5. The Speedy Trial Act Washington contends that his right to a speedy trial was violated under the “ruse exception” to the Speedy Trial Act because he was not indicted within 30 days of his arrest on state charges. Washington, however, failed to move for dismissal of the indictment before trial and thus waived his Speedy Trial Act claim. See United States v. Spagnuolo, 469 F.3d 39, 44^46 (1st Cir.2006) (). B.

Rule 11-609(D) implements the legislative directives by specifically excluding the use of a juvenile adjudication as a permissible means of impeaching a defendant. The Rule states: Evidence of juvenile adjudications is generally not admissible under this rule. The court may, however, in a criminal case allow evidence of a juvenile adjudication of a witness other than the accused if conviction of the offense would be admissible to attack the credibility of an adult and the court is satisfied that admission in evidence is necessary for a fair determination of the issue of guilt or innocence.

See Shalan, 2006 WL 3307512 at *2 (“It does not matter whether blame for the delay is properly ascribed to the FBI or USCIS; rather the delay renders the government’s position not ‘substantially justified.’ ”). Second, even if a delay in conducting a FBI background check may, under some circumstances, present a valid justification for the USCIS’s failure to reach a determination within the 120-day window, it does not do so in this case.

Chase Manhattan Bank, 465 F.3d 992, 1003 (9th Cir. 2006). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Ahmad’s Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”) claim as time-barred because Ahmad did not file his action within one year of the alleged violation. See 15 U.S.C. § 1640(e) (an action for damages must be brought within one year of the alleged violation); King v. California, 784 F.2d 910, 914-15 (9th Cir.1986) ().

Specifically, the State answered Count 1 of the complaint by admitting the tax debt was discharged pursuant to the terms of the bankruptcy court’s order, but denied the allegation that the debt was dischargeable under the Bankruptcy Code. The State answered Counts 2 and 3 by asserting Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity. In April 1997, the State enlarged its assertion of Eleventh Amendment immunity to include Count 1 by filing a motion to dismiss all claims for lack of jurisdiction. The bankruptcy court, relying upon Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida, 517 U.S. 44, 116 S.Ct. 1114, 134 L.Ed.2d 252 (1996), dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction.

Ante, at 1295. Kemp now argues that the trial judge erred in not ordering, sua sponte, a competency hearing under Rule 11.1, Ariz.R.Crim.P. There was no abuse of discretion here. Kemp’s statement does not cast doubt on his ability to understand the nature of the proceedings. See Rule 11.3, Ariz.R.Crim.P. It does not indicate that he lacked the ability to assist in his defense. If anything, his statement says much about the absence of mitigation here and the propriety of the sentence. Because there were no grounds to conduct a competency hearing, the trial judge did not err in failing to order one sua sponte. IV.

Discussion The defendant argues that summary judgment is appropriate because the parties entered into a valid settlement agreement which constitutes a final resolution of the plaintiff’s discrimination claims.

In sum, the Court concludes that although, ### Response: holding that the numerous inconsistencies in the testimony of the persons primarily responsible for plaintiffs termination when coupled with the timing of plaintiffs termination and the conflicting reasons given by defendants agents for the termination might well persuade a jury that defendant fired the plaintiff in retaliation for the letter sent by her attorney to defendants general counsel " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: fraud has entered into the case.

Section 2255 grants a petitioner one year to file a § 2255 motion from “the date on which the right asserted was initially recognized by the Supreme Court, if that right has been newly recognized by the Supreme Court and made retroactively applicable to cases on collateral review.” 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f)(3). Descamps issued on June 20, 2013. Petitioner’s § 2255 motion was filed within one year from that date. However, “Descamps does not apply retroactively to cases on collateral review...” Abney v. Warden, No. 15-1088, 621 Fed.Appx. 580, 584, 2015 WL 4546193, at *4 (11th Cir. 2015). Thus, Petitioner’s § 2255 motion is untimely filed based on Descamps. See King v. United States, 610 Fed.Appx. 825, 829 (11th Cir.2015) (). Although not argued by Petitioner, the Court ### Response: holding descamps does not apply retroactively to cases on collateral review and thus the 2255 motion was not timely under 2255f3 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: must explicitly reserve, with the consent of the state and the trial court, the right to appeal a dispositive question of law.

Because Defendants objected to the district court’s response — that jurisdiction was no concern for the jury — to the jury’s question, we can no longer review the district court’s failure to instruct the jury on the jurisdictional element just for plain error. Instead, we must review the entire jury charge, including the judge’s response to the jury question, to determine if the issues of law were presented accurately. See United States v. Turner, 871 F.2d 1574, 1578 (11th Cir.1989). The government argues that whether the jurisdictional element under 46 U.S.C. app. § 1903 is a question of fact for the jury or one of law for the court is debatable. See United States v. Mena, 863 F.2d 1522, 1532-33 & n. 8 (11th Cir.1989) (); United States v.

Accordingly, municipal liability may not attach to Miller’s actions. E. Individual Capacity Claim For the reasons explained in Parts V.AC, a reasonable jury could conclude that Miller’s statements to the press constituted a violation of Plaintiffs constitutional rights. Thus, Plaintiff has satisfied his first summary judgment hurdle for qualified immunity. Miller may still be entitled to qualified immunity at this stage of the proceedings, however, if Plaintiffs alleged right was not “clearly established at the time official action was taken.” See Walker v. City of Orem, 451 F.3d 1139, 1151 (10th Cir.2007) ().

We have jurisdiction over this timely appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253. We affirm in part, reverse in part, vacate in part, and remand. The district court did not address the merits of Grounds 11(e) and 12(b) of Mitchell’s petition. We therefore vacate the district court’s order to the extent that it disposed of these grounds, and remand the petition for the district court’s initial consideration of these grounds. We affirm the district court’s dismissal of Ground 4 as proeedurally barred. The state court properly dismissed this ground pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute § 34.810(l)(b)(2). Vang v.

This court has never held that when an appellant fails to obtain a stay and the property sought is conveyed in good faith to a third party, the appellant is entitled to return to the trial court to have damages awarded if successful on appeal. Neither the Richards-es nor the dissent has cited a single case where this took place. Nor could they: other jurisdictions that have addressed this issue have denied such relief. For instance, the Illinois Appellate Court has held that “in the absence of a stay, an appeal is moot if possession or ownership of specific property which is inextricably involved in the relief being sought on appeal has been conveyed to third parties.” Horvath v. Loesch, 87 Ill.App.3d 615, 43 Ill.Dec. 154, 157, 410 N.E.2d 154, 157 (1980) (citation omitted) (). This holding is consistent with numerous ### Response: holding appeal moot on this basis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: not consider alternatives other than revoking his probation. Therefore, we question whether this argument is properly before this court. See K.W.J., supra. Moreover, “[ajlthough Rule 27.6(d), Ala. R.Crim. P., provides that a trial court may ‘revoke, modify, or continue probation’ if it finds that a probationer has violated the terms and conditions of his probation, whether revocation and imposition of the original sentence or some other disposition is appropriate is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court. Absent a clear abuse of discretion, a reviewing court will not disturb a trial court’s conclusions in a probation-revocation proceeding, including the determination whether to revoke, modify, or continue the probation. See, e.g., Ex parte J.J.D., So.2d 240 (Ala.2000) (); and Moore v. State, 432 So.2d 552, 553 ### Response: holding that a trial courts order in a probationrevocation proceeding will not be reversed absent a clear abuse of discretion " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of recovery: unjust enrichment, breach of implied contract, conversion, and constructive fraud. She also requested that punitive damages be awarded. Bailey also sought to have the litigation certified as a class action. Following a hearing, the trial court granted her motion and ordered that the class be defined as ""(alll current and former hourly employees of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (including its operating divisions Sam's Club and Wal-Mart Supercenters) in the State of Indiana during the period August 1, 1998 to present."" Appendix at 61. Wal-Mart subsequently sought certification of the order for interlocutory appeal. That motion was granted; consequently, the issue of class certification is properly before this court. See Martin v. Amoco Oil Co., 696 N.E.2d 383, 385-86 (Ind.1998) (), cert. denied 525 U.S. 1049, 119 S.Ct. 608, ### Response: holding that unless trial court certifies trial rule 28 determination as final under trial rule 54b it remains interlocutory " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: factor controlling), including: current residence, voting registration and voting practices, location of brokerage and bank accounts, location of spouse and family, membership in unions and other organizations, place of employment or business, driver’s license and automobile registration, and payment of taxes”). The Ninth Circuit treats limited liability companies such as CarMax like partnerships for purposes of diversity jurisdiction. See Johnson v. Columbia Props. Anchorage LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir.2006) (applying the standard used by sister circuits and treating LLCs like partnerships). Thus, ""an LLC is a citizen of every state of which its owners/members are citizens.” Id.; see also Handelsman v. Bedford Village Assocs., Ltd. Partnership, 213 F.3d 48, 51-52 (2d Cir.2000) ().

Those two quantities ultimately determine the extent to which a creditor is secured for purposes of § 547(b)(5). (i) TCFC’s Claim Against the Estate In this case, had the payments not been made, Smith’s would have owed TCFC $10,728,809.96 (its actual claim on the petition date) plus $12,842,438.96 (the amount of antecedent debt paid in the preference-period transfers), or a total of $23,571,248.92. Thus, TCFC’s hypothetical claim against the estate, in an analysis under § 547(b)(5), is $23,571,248.92. See Henderson v. Nat’l Bank of Commerce (In re Al-Ben, Inc.), 156 B.R. 72, 75 (Bankr.

It is true that several jurisdictions recognize an exception to at-will termination via a tort for retaliatory or wrongful discharge where the discharge contravenes public policy. See, e.g. Sheets v.

See 64 N.Y.Jur.2d Habeas Corpus § 2 (1987). This conclusion is supported by case law, because New York courts have not allowed in a habeas proceeding the granting of forms of relief other than discharge, bail, or remand. See, e.g., Graham v. State, 25 A.D.2d 693, 267 N.Y.S.2d 1009, 1009 (1966) (stating that ha-beas is not available to secure return of property); People ex rel. Tatra v.

Applying these holdings here, we conclude that Valder’s prosecutorial immunity insulates him from liability for his unquestionably advocatory decision to prosecute Moore. His prosecutorial immunity also protects Valder from liability for allegedly concealing exculpatory evidence from the grand jury and for allegedly manipulating evidence before the grand jury to create a false impression of what Moore knew about the alleged fraudulent schemes. Valder’s decisions regarding what evidence to put before the grand jury, and in what manner, are advocatory because they are central to the prosecutor’s task of “initiating a prosecution” and “presenting the State’s case.” Imbler, 424 U.S. at 431, 96 S.Ct. at 996; see also Hill v.

Kelley was informed that the Department was initiating a new program to compete with private construction contractors for the installation of utility services. Kelley accepted the low bid submitted by the Department after receiving bids from two other private construction contractors. I would find there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Department departed from its stated function of providing utilities, specifically gas and water, to the City of Corinth when it constructed and installed the water lines on Kelley’s property following the bidding process.

Sanders, 247 F.3d 139, 142-144 & n. 2 (4th Cir.2001). Therefore, a district court’s reduction of a term of imprisonment under Rule 35(b) has no impact on the “finality” of a defendant’s “judgment of conviction” and does not alter the “date on which the judgment of conviction becomes final” for the purposes of the statute of limitations. Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). So far as we can tell, every circuit to have addressed this question agrees with our conclusion. The Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Tenth Circuits have held that a Rule 35(b) modification does not constitute a new judgment of conviction that restarts § 2255’s statute of limitations clock. See Byers v. United States, 561 F.3d 832, 835 (8th Cir.2009) (); Sanders, 247 F.3d at 142-44 & n. 2 (“It is ### Response: holding that a rule 35b modification does not constitute a final judgment and therefore does not reset the aedpa time clock " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: deployed Tasers at sensitive body parts and for unnecessary amounts of time in a fashion intended to cause pain. Defendants cite recent eases granting qualified immunity to officers who used Tasers in which courts held that Taser usage was not “clearly established.” However, the cases cited are distinguishable because, in those cases, the officers were not using Tasers with the purpose of inflicting pain. E.g. Mattos v. Agarano, 661 F.3d 433 (9th Cir.2011) (en banc); Bryan v. MacPherson, 630 F.3d 805 (9th Cir.2010). The Court finds that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to prove that Defendants violated clearly established law by maliciously using a Taser as an instrument to inflict harm and corporal punishment. See Mendoza v. Block, 27 F.3d 1357, 1362 (9th Cir.1994) (). The Court therefore finds that Defendants ### Response: holding that an officer is not entitled to qualified immunity on the grounds that the law is not clearly established every time a novel method is used to inflict injury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 106 S.Ct. 2639, 91 L.Ed.2d 397 (1986)). Minarik argues that he is actually innocent because he was involuntarily intoxicated when he committed the crime. Our task is therefore to look to all of the information currently available concerning a potential “defense of involuntary intoxication,” including that developed in the proceedings since Minarik’s sentencing, to determine whether, more likely than not, no reasonable juror exposed to that information would have convicted him. It is not clear to us that Pennsylvania law would characterize intoxication produced by the voluntary consumption of a prescription drug and alcohol as “involuntary” even if that consumption was without knowledge of a synergistic effect. See Commonwealth v. Todaro, 301 Pa.Super. 1, 446 A.2d 1305 (Pa.Super.1982) (). Nothing in our analysis turns on this point, ### Response: holding such intoxication to be voluntary " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Environ mental Protection and Resource Management.” 10 . As to the facial takings claim, Greenspr-ing's own complaint suggests a third possibility. While the Ordinance apparently precludes it from building the two office buildings (one five stories, one six stories) and garage envisioned in its first site plan, its complaint asserts that it is entitled on the face of Section 2 of the Ordinance to build an eight story office building with garage in the footprint of the current improvements. 11 . Despite the fact that the denial of a Section 2 exemption would constitute a quasi judicial act, the more relaxed standard enunciated in Dolan does not govern the determination of whether Greenspring has been deprived of the economic use of its property. See 512 U.S. at 384-85, 114 S.Ct. 2309 ().

The government presented evidence that each image was taken with the same camera as was found on the defendant at the border, was edited with the same software as was on the computers collected from the defendant at the border, and was stored on the computers found on the defendant at the border. It is worth noting in passing that the defendant did not present any evidence contesting ownership of the camera, the image editing software, or the computers, and did not argue that any other individuals had used the camera or the software to take or crop the images at issue. It was not an error for the prosecutor to argue the inference that the defendant had taken and cropped the images. See, e.g., Byrd, 209 F.3d at 535 ().

See id. at 2464, 2467-69. This is not an exhaustive list. Because the Miller decision was so recently decided, there has been no advocacy by the parties regarding individualized sentencing for juveniles convicted of homicide offenses. As such, on remand, we anticipate that the trial court will order briefs by the Commonwealth and Knox, and accept briefs from their respective amici, if any, on this issue. As the United States Supreme Court has expressly stated that a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole is unconstitutional as applied to juvenile offenders, Whitaker is overruled. See Whitaker, 30 A.3d at 1197-98 (); supra n. 20.

Moreover, this court notes that those courts which have addressed the retroactive applicability of § 1915(g) are all in agreement that there is no impermissible retroactive effect by applying the statute to complaints which were filed prior to April 26, 1996, the enactment date of the PLRA See, e.g., Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383 (5th Cir.1996) (finding that § 1915(g) did not impose new or additional liabilities, and, thus, it could be applied retroactively); Green v. Nottingham, 90 F.3d 415, 420 (10th Cir.1996) (finding that § 1915(g) announces procedural rule and has no retroactive effect); Lyon v. Vande Krol, 940 F.Supp. 1433, 1436 (S.D.Iowa 1996) (); McCray v. Kralik, 1996 WL 378273 (S.D.N.Y. ### Response: holding that 1915g does not operate retroactively simply because dismissals entered before the enactment of the plra are considered in applying 1915g " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: purchaser” is “[o]ne who buys something for value without notice of another’s claim to the property and without actual or constructive notice of any defects in or infirmities, claims, or equities against the seller’s title; one who has in good faith paid valuable consideration for property without notice of prior adverse claims.” Black’s Law Dictionary 1271 (8th ed.1999). Whether an event is enough to put a purchaser on notice so that a bona fide purchaser “cannot acquire an interest that is superior to the interest of the transferee” is determined, the statute tells us by “applicable law,” 11 U.S.C. § 547(e)(1)(A), which is to say the law of the state where the property is located. See Gen. Motors Acceptance Corp. v. Busenlehner (In re Busenlehner), 918 F.2d 928, 930 (11th Cir. 1991) (), overruled on other grounds by Fid.

To constitute state action, the deprivation must.be caused by the exercise of some right or privilege created by the State or by a person for whom the State is responsible. The party charged with the. deprivation must be a person who may fairly be said to be a state actor. Lugar v.

Merely pursuing foreclosure proceedings under state law does not make Merchants & Farmers Bank a state actor. Earnest v. Lowentritt, 690 F.2d 1198, 1201 (5th Cir.1982) ().

See O.C.G.A. § 9-14-1. If the examining judge determines that imprisonment or restraint is illegal, he or she will grant the writ, requiring the prisoner to be released. See O.C.G.A. § 9-14-5. Because we accept the well-pleaded facts as true, and view them in the light most favorable to Mr. Jones, we find that the complaint sufficiently alleges that his term of imprisonment was invalidated with the successful granting of a habeas corpus petition by Judge Russell. See Heck, 512 U.S. at 486-87, 114 S.Ct. 2364. Therefore, even if Mr. Jones’ claim is decided in his favor, his allegations do not improperly call into question the validity of his conviction or sentence. See Wilkinson, 544 U.S. at 81-82, 125 S.Ct. 1242. See also Morrow, 610 F.3d at 1272 ().

The Debtor’s accountant sought leave to withdraw on April 20, 2011; leave was granted on July 27, 2011. 7 . Additionally, the record reflects that 58 days elapsed between the September 6, 2011 filing of the Debtor's motion for extension of time to obtain counsel and its November 3, 2011 denial. Another 19 days passed before the court dismissed the case on November 22, 2011. Thus, the Debtor effectively received 77 out of the 90 days he originally sought, and nonetheless failed to hire an attorney. 8 . But cf. In re Moog, 774 F.2d 1073, 1075-76 (11th Cir.1985) (ruling § 1112(b)’s explicit language and legislative history indicate bankruptcy court without power to dismiss sua sponte); Gusam Rest. Corp. v.

First, Media Sciences is correct in asserting that the Supreme Court has suggested, albeit in dicta, that it would not hesitate to condemn a tandem of a forum-selection clause and a choice-of-law provision that operated “as a prospective waiver of a party’s right to pursue statutory remedies for antitrust violations.” Mitsubishi Motors Corp. v. Soler Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., 473 U.S. 614, 637 n. 19, 105 S.Ct. 3346, 87 L.Ed.2d 444 (1985) (emphasis supplied). Following this suggestion, other courts have refused to enforce general releases and arbitration agreements that they have found act to waive or immunize parties from liability for future antitrust violations. See, e.g., Lawlor v. Nat’l Screen Serv. Corp., 349 U.S. 322, 324-328, 75 S.Ct. 865, 99 L.Ed. 1122 (1955) (); In re Amer. Express.

State, 378 Md. 378, 387, 835 A.2d 1221 (2003). The plain meaning of the verb “to modify” is “to change somewhat the form or qualities of; alter partially; amend.” Random House Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary 871 (1996). The verb does not connote a change or alteration in a particular direction or of a particular type. Without language creating a restriction, a modification of a sentence, as that phrase is used in CJ section 1 2-302(c)(2)(ii), encompasses an alteration of the sentence, including a reduction. That meaning is evident, and the statutory language is not ambiguous. See Chow v. State, 393 Md. 431, 444, 903 A.2d 388 (2006) (); Bennett v. State Dept. of Assessments & ### Response: holding that question of ambiguity vel non of statutory language is one of law and therefore is addressed de novo on appellate review " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as part of a bargained-for exchange to unilaterally revoke that consent, and we decline to read such a provision into the act. As an initial matter, Reyes is correct that when Congress uses a term, such as “consent,” that has “accumulated [a] settled meaning un der ... the common law, a court must infer, unless the statute otherwise dictates, that Congress means to incorporate the established meaning of th[at] term[ ].” Neder v. United States, 527 U.S. 1, 21, 119 S.Ct. 1827, 144 L.Ed.2d 35 (1999) (citation omitted). The text of the TCPA evidences no intent to deviate from common law rules in defining “consent,” and the FCC and other federal appellate courts have applied the common law definition of the term when interpreting the act. See Gager, 727 F.3d at 270; 2015 FCC Ruling at *7961 (). “Consent,” however, is not always revocable ### Response: holding that permitting unwanted texts and voice calls is counter to commonlaw notions of consent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in an action begun within the prescribed period of limitation and such judgment be afterward arrested or reversed on error or appeal, the plaintiff may begin a new action within one year after such reversal or arrest. Minn.Stat. § 541.18 (1990). This statute, virtually unchanged since its enactment in 1851, is rarely utilized and is not interpreted by any appellate court. Furthermore, no legislative history is available. We start, of course, with the plain language of the statute. Gale v. Commissioner of Taxation, 228 Minn. 345, 37 N.W.2d 711, 714-15 (1949). Indeed, simply because the statute is quite old does not release us from our obligation to give the statute its plain meaning. See, e.g., I.N.S. v. Phinpathya, 464 U.S. 183, 191-92, 104 S.Ct. 584, 590-91, 78 L.Ed.2d 401 (1984) (); see also Minn.Stat. § 645.16 (“Every law ### Response: holding that thirtytwoyearold statute must still be given its plain meaning " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: claimed that he was “verbally assaulted” by Rodolfo Martinez who was in charge of the place where the equipment was being kept.

Ample authority exists for the proposition that such “all-risk” language (as that which exists in the present case) covers conversion. See, e.g., Buckeye Cellulose Corp. v. Atlantic Mut. Ins.

Defendants urge the Court to adopt the reasoning set forth in Walji v. Gonzales, 2007 WL 1747911 (5th Cir.2007) Walji I). In Walji I, the Fifth Circuit held that “when the CIS examination is premature because the mandatory security investigation is not complete, the 120-day time period of [ ] § 1447(b) does not begin to run....” 2007 WL 1747911, 2007 U.S.App. LEXIS 14450, at *8. However, after Defendants filed their motion, the Fifth Circuit granted Walji’s petition for reheating and reversed its previous opinion. See Walji v.

However, the court noted that the defendant was not left without recourse. The proper course of action was for it to remove the new case and argue that the real amount in controversy was higher than the amount alleged. Id. at *2. Though it did not explicitly state so, the district court apparently felt that the amount claimed in the prior complaint could serve as evidence of the “real amount in controversy” in the subsequently filed claim.

The second line of cases are those in which the plaintiff adequately indicated the harassment was unwelcome. Sometimes the plaintiff has satisfied this element by-showing she explicitly rebuffed the, bad actor’s propositions or told the harasser she found the conduct offensive. See, e.g., Williams v. Herron, 687 F.3d 971, 975 (8th Cir. 2012) (deciding the plaintiff “adequately communicated” the conduct was unwelcome where she twice told the harasser it made her-“uncomfortable”). Other times ""the plaintiff has reported the"" conduct to someone with the authority to address the problem. See, e.g., Beach v. Yellow Freight Sys., 312 F.3d 391, 396 (8th Cir. 2002) ().

However, if the Government has acquired ownership or control of the facility involuntarily, as a result of its sovereign function, or the entity was responding to an emergency caused by the release of hazardous substances from a facility owned by another party, the State or local government is only liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct. 42 U.S.C. § 9607(d)(2); see Murtha, 958 F.2d at 1198. In order to establish that a Government entity is subject to strict liability as an operator, a plaintiff must show some nexus to the site other than its statutory obligation to respond to an emergency.

Furthermore, where an applicant gives “spare” testimony, the fact-finder “may wish to probe for incidental details, seeking to draw out inconsistencies that would support a finding of lack of credibility.” Id. at 152. Without so probing, the fact-finder may risk failing to create a record that can support an adverse credibility finding. See Jin Chen v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 426 F.3d 104, 114 (2d Cir.2005) ().

As noted above, the phrase ""crime of violence” is used frequently with varying definitions. See note 6 supra. The § 4B 1.2(a) definition is, however, worded the same as the ACCA definition of ""violent felony” and therefore provides a useful comparison.

Thus, the district court did not abuse its discretion in permitting Amy to explain why certain of the appellant’s words and deeds frightened her. There is one loose end. The appellant argues that an FBI agent should not have been permitted to opine that a bag found in the appellant’s house, which contained among other things a knife, rubber gloves, and duct tape, was a “murder kit.” This was not a lay opinion at all: the agent had 10 years of law-enforcement experience and was trained in forensics.

See Peterson v. S.F. Cmty. Coll. Dist., 36 Cal.3d 799, 205 Cal.Rptr. 842, 685 P.2d 1193 (Cal.1984). We emphasize that a university is not an insurer of the safety of its students. Nonetheless, university has a duty of reasonable care to protect a student against certain dangers, including criminal actions against a student by another student or a third party if the criminal act is reasonably foreseeable and within the university’s control.

Unlike the application of the statute of limitations, exercise of the doctrine of laches does not depend on a mechanical passage of time. Indeed, the doctrine of laches may bar a suit in equity where a comparable suit at law would not be barred by an analogous statute of limitations.

Applying the second prong of the Gaither test, we think that the issue which Ms. Bradford was ready to address — an admission by Armstrong that he was the man who shot the victims — goes to the central issue in the case. By all accounts, only one man did the shooting. Any admission by Armstrong that he was that man made it less likely that Ford did it. “[The] principle which states that an average person will not acknowledge the existence of a fact that is counter to his interest unless he knows it to be true [applies], as a matter of logic, [to] declarations against penal interest ... as well as [to] ... statements against pecuniary or proprietary interest.” Laumer, supra, 409 A.2d at 196 ().

We look to the asserted claim and assess whether, if correct, it implicates a constitutional interest as compared to another form of trial error. See id. at 689-91. In instances where the allegation is that the defendant’s due process rights were violated because he or she was denied a fair trial, the court will look at the defendant’s allegation of a constitutional violation, and the facts alleged by the defendant, to determine whether, if true, the defendant’s constitutional right to a fair trial has been violated.

Those copies were then forwarded to the attorneys preparing for the Civil Service hearing. Moreover, while the record reveals that Fitzgerald directed Cahill to make the tape recording, there is absolutely nothing in the record that indicates that Fitzgerald requested that the tape be altered or supervised Cahill in making the tape. The record contains no evidence that Healy, Gardner, Ellis or Gelinas had anything to do with the tape or with supervising Cahill. Moreover, Cignetti’s allegation that Fitzgerald referred to him as a “complainer” and a “malcontent” is insufficient to support an inference that Fitzgerald authorized, approved, or knowingly acquiesced in the falsification of evidence.

In determining whether plaintiffs’ claims may be considered moot, we are bound by Goldston. Because we hold that plaintiffs have standing to pursue a declaratory judgment regarding the Board’s authority to establish year-round schools and to assign students to those schools on a mandatory basis, the fact that individual plaintiffs have been reassigned does not address the unsettled controversy concerning the Board’s authority.

In fact, the Partnerships presented evidence of their ownership, presumably under the incorrect understanding that § 1603(b) would control for TRIA § 201. As discussed above regarding the writs of garnishment, the court properly found that evidence immaterial to the agency or instrumentality allegation. The Partnerships also argue that there was not a sufficient evidentiary basis for the agency or instrumentality determination. This argument is unavailing. The evidence Plaintiffs presented to the district court was sufficient to establish the required relationship between FARC and the Partnerships, even if that relationship was indirect. Cf.

In this case, Defendant has pleaded guilty to three violent felonies under Massachusetts law, two of which have been held by the First Circuit to qualify categorically as violent felonies, and a third which clearly would qualify based on the holdings of the Commonwealth’s courts.

They base this argument solely on their assertion that at the time of the preliminary injunction hearing, they presented uncontested evidence that the total sales to former Zee Medical customers totaled only $7,000, with the net prof hat the district court applied an incorrect standard, we conclude that the denial of Zee Medical’s motion for preliminary injunction was proper.

The nurse offered expert opinion testimony establishing that the lack of vaginal injury is not unusual in rape cases. Since the defendant’s theory of the case was that the lack of injury to the victim’s vagina proved that a crime did not occur, there is a reasonable possibility that the discovery violation materially hindered the defendant’s trial preparation and/or strategy. Accordingly, the defendant’s judgment and sentence are reversed and this matter is remanded for a new trial. See Ward v. State, 165 So.3d 789 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015) (); Debord v.

A. Causal Connection A causal connection may be inferred “by showing that the employer had knowl edge of the employee’s protected activity, and that the adverse personnel action took place shortly after that activity.” Mitchell, 759 F.2d at 86. By showing both knowledge and proximity in time, plaintiff may establish the causal connection needed to make a prima facie case of retaliation. Although courts have not established the maximum time lapse between protected Title VII activity and alleged retaliatory actions for establishing a causal connection, courts generally have accepted time periods of a few days up to a few months and seldom have accepted time lapses outside of a year in length. See, e.g., Goos v. Nat’l Ass’n of Realtors, 715 F.Supp. 2, 3-4 (D.D.C.1989) (); Castle v.

We emphasize, however, that in the case at hand, we are dealing with a bylaw amendment that was passed many years after appellees bought their units. This is an important difference, because the application of the less restrictive standard is based upon the concept that the unit owners had notice of the recorded use restrictions when they purchased their units. In this case, the notice aspect is lacking. Some courts, although not directly considering amendments, have hinted that they would apply a stricter standard to amendments than to original provisions.

Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct. 746, 27 L.Ed.2d 669 (1971), the Supreme Court held that absent extraordinary circumstances, federal courts must abstain from interfering with ongoing state criminal proceedings. Over time, a three-part test has emerged for determining whether abstention under Younger is appropriate: (1) the state judicial proceeding must be ongoing; (2) the proceeding must implicate important state interests; and (3) there must be an adequate opportunity in the state court proceeding to raise a constitutional challenge.

Plaintiffs accuse defendants of affirmatively misleading the public by false and misleading statements and of violating the abstain or disclose doctrine prohibiting insider trading. Although plaintiffs need not allege that every defendant participated in every aspect of a fraudulent scheme to state a claim, section 10 liability requires a finding that each individual took some action in furtherance of the scheme.

Turning to the substantive reasonableness of Susi’s sentence, we must consider whether the totality of the circumstances shows that the district court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Susi to 160 months’ imprisonment on the wire fraud counts.

University of Alabama, supra. Ordinarily, this court would want to hear more of the matter. However, since this court has held that this case must be dismissed for plaintiffs failure to file this action within the requisite time period, the court need not reach this issue. Finally, this court also dismisses plaintiffs state law claim of misrepresentation. Having dismissed all of plaintiffs federal law claims, this court opts not to retain jurisdiction over plaintiffs state law claim. See Noble v. White, 996 F.2d 797, 799 (5th Cir.1993) (stating that “[district courts enjoy wide discretion in determining whether to retain supplemental jurisdiction over a state law claim once all federal claims are dismissed.”); Rhyne v.

In this case, not only did the General Counsel not object to Mullican Lumber’s evidence, he facilitated the admission of some of the evidence that he now argues cannot be considered because it was hearsay. “[W]hen evidence of that character [hearsay] is admitted without objection, it is to be considered and given its natural probative effect as if it were in law admissible.” Diaz v. United States, 223 U.S. 442, 450, 32 S.Ct. 250, 56 L.Ed. 500 (1912).

The Court finds these eases inapposite, and reviews Judge Tomlinson’s Order under the “clearly erroneous or contrary to law” standard. 2. The First Amendment’s Restrictions on the Protective Order Rule 26(c) provides that “[t]he court may, for good cause, issue an order to protect a party or person from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or undue burden or expense.” It is well-settled that courts have broad power to enter protective orders under Rule 26(c) that prohibit parties from sharing discovery materials with non-litigants (such orders are typically referred to as “confidentiality orders”). See, e.g., AT & T Corp. v. Sprint Corp., 407 F.3d 560, 562 (2d Cir.2005) ().

Segal is correct to point out that the Seventh Circuit ""does not look favorably on many instances of mail and wire fraud to form a pattern.” Hartz v. Friedman, 919 F.2d 469, 473 (7th Cir.1990). In cases, however, where the Seventh Circuit has held that several acts of mail or wire fraud do not form a pattern, other factors of the continuity analysis were also lacking. See e.g., Lipin Enters. Inc. v. Lee, 803 F.2d 322 (7th Cir.1986) ().

See Zimmerman v. Kent, 31 Mass.App.Ct. 72, 77 (1991). Since Gear has failed to set forth specific facts from which a reasonable jury could find reliance, Goba is also entitled to summary judgment on Gear’s fraud claim. 6 Although Massachusetts has yet to define what conduct constitutes “more than a minor or insignificant business relationship,"" the Supreme Judicial Court, the Appeals Court and the federal courts have tended to find such a relationship where the defendant played an active role in the underlying transaction.

Downs, 572 So.2d at 898.

Maryland law thus makes clear that all beneficiaries in wrongful death lawsuits are the real parties in interest in these suits. Indeed, if one of a decedent’s beneficiaries is absent from a wrongful death lawsuit, Maryland law requires that a judgment rendered in favor of the beneficiary or beneficiaries who did prosecute the suit be vacated.

We have never held that as to a wrongdoer only the funds traceable to illegal activities may be forfeited. If one is an innocent owner, no amount of that person’s or entity’s funds are forfeitable. On the other hand, if one is a wrongdoer, the full value of the ... property is forfeitable because some of the funds invested are traceable as the statute dictates. United States v.

While some of the damages requested by the Plaintiffs certainly parallel the benefits they would have received from the insurance plan had it remained in existence, this is not enough to compel ERISA preemption. As justification for concluding that ERISA preemption does not apply in certain situations, some circuit courts have focused on the fact that the plaintiff was not a “participant” in a plan, and that, consequently, there was no ERISA plan which would be affected in the event the plaintiff were to recover.

App. 3d at 186. The court in Neurosurgery added that the theory of fraudulent misrepresentation was unavailable to a plaintiff who suffered physical harm. Neurosurgery, 339 Ill. App. 3d at 186. The court explained its reasoning as follows: “[fraudulent misrepresentation is purely an economic tort under which one may recover only monetary damages. McConkey v. AON Corp., 354 N.J.

The trial court twice instructed the jury that the parties’ opening statements were not evidence. The State explains that the majority of the comments objected to by defendant constituted representations of what the State intended to, and in fact did, prove at the penalty phase trial and that, in any event, none of the comments made by the prosecutor in his opening statement require reversal. The scope of the State’s opening statement is limited to the “facts he intends in good faith to prove by competent evidence.” State v.

The court found that Meyers’s statement to the police about the murders was fabricated, and in any event was not a true confession.

Even in his oral statements to the detectives, he denied being involved in the Tharpar murders. (B) Now, on appeal from the judgments of conviction in his second trial, the appellant makes a three-fold argument about the evidence of Meyers’s “false confession.” First, he maintains that the court erred in refusing to hold an evidentiary hearing before ruling on the State’s motion in limine.

The Court first notes that this matter does not arise in the context of a Plaintiff-contested motion by Defendant for Rule 35 examinations. Plaintiff has already voluntarily consented to Rule 35 examinations by an orthopedic surgeon and a neurological surgeon, implicitly conceding that good cause under Rule 35, Fed.R.Civ 189 F.R.D. 620, 626 (D.Kan.1999) ().

However, even if the errors of his counsel had contributed to the delay, Zetino’s due process claim would still fail. Unlike both Singh and Rojas-Garcia, Zetino cannot point to anyone but himself to explain the untimeliness of his brief. We cannot conclude that by missing the deadline he had successfully extended he somehow deprived himself of due process. To hold to the contrary would mean that when the BIA enforced the previously extended filing deadline known to the petitioner the proceeding became fundamentally unfair. Such a holding would be contrary to existing due process jurisprudence addressing filing deadlines. See, e.g., United States v. Locke, 471 U.S. 84, 101, 105 S.Ct. 1785, 85 L.Ed.2d 64 (1985) ().

OTHER JURISDICTIONS Most jurisdictions recognize that absent unusual circumstances, the option to renew a lease must be exercised prior to the expiration of the lease. However provisions designating a time frame within which notice to renew must be given are strictly construed. See American Oil Co. v. Rasar, 308 S.W.2d at 490. When a lease requires the lessee to exercise the option “at the end of’ or “at the termination of’ the original lease, courts addressing the issue have adopted one of two views on the time frame for renewal. At least two courts have interpreted this language to require that the option be exercised before the expiration of the original lease. See Music Tree, Inc. v.

In support of their assertion, appellants rely upon Omaha Healthcare Center, L.L.C. v. Johnson, 344 S.W.3d 392, 394-95 (Tex.2011) (), Yamada v.

In this personal injury action for damages arising from an automobile accident, the jury found that the plaintiff was 90% negligent and that the defendant was only 10% negligent. The trial court granted the plaintiffs motion for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the manifest weight of the evidence. We affirm. See Brown v. Estate of Stuckey, 749 So.2d 490, 497 (Fla.1999) (). We conclude that the trial court erred in ### Response: holding that the trial court can and should grant a new trial if the manifest weight of the evidence is contrary to the verdict " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: made after the statute of limitations has run relates back to the date of the original pleading if, inter alia, “the amendment asserts a claim or defense that arose out of the conduct, transaction, or occurrence set out — or attempted to be set out — in the original pleading.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c)(1)(B); see also Slayton v. Am. Express Co., 460 F.3d 215, 228 (2d Cir.2006) (“For a newly added action to relate back, the basic claim must have arisen out of the conduct set forth in the original pleading.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). Here, the failure to intercede claim clearly arose out of the conduct set out in the Third Amended Complaint, and therefore relates back for the purpose of the statute of limitations. See Stevelman v. Alias Research Inc., 174 F.3d 79, 86-87 (2d Cir.1999) (). 2.

Young, 906 F.2d 615, 618 (11th Cir.1990). Furthermore, we are “bound by the jury’s credibility determinations, and by its rejection of the inferences raised by the defendant.” United States v. Peters, 403 F.3d 1263, 1268 (11th Cir.2005). To convict a defendant of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt three elements: “(1) that the defendant was a convicted felon, (2) that the defendant was in knowing possession of a firearm, and (3) that the firearm was in or affecting interstate commerce.” Beckles, 565 F.3d at 841 (internal quotation marks omitted) (). In considering the evidence, it is reasonable ### Response: holding the evidence sufficient to establish the defendants knowing possession of a firearm beyond a reasonable doubt when among other things the defendant admitted to a law enforcement officer that he had acquired the shotgun for his protection and that officers testimony went uncontradicted at trial " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: be “circumspect” in allowing discovery before the plaintiff has established that the court has jurisdiction over a foreign sovereign defendant under the FSIA. Id. at 176-77. But NML seeks discovery from a defendant over which the district court indisputably had jurisdiction. Thus, the concerns voiced in Rafidain I are not present and our precedents relating to jurisdictional discovery are inapplicable. The second principal reason for holding that the Discovery Order does not infringe on Argentina’s sovereign immunity is that the subpoenas at issue were directed at BOA and BNA — commercial banks that have no claim to sovereign immunity, or to any other sort of immunity or privilege. Thus, the banks’ compliance with subpoenas will cause Argentina no burden and no expense. See id. at 177 ().

We also see no indicatipn that the BIA improperly relied on the underlying facts of Jaimes-Lopez’s conduct in its decision. Thus, the BIA did not err in its analysis. B. We also agree with the BIA’s ultimate determination that Jaimes-Lopez’s conviction under § 812.13(2)(a) categorically qualifies as a crime involving moral turpitude. For this reason, we need not, and do not, decide whether the Florida statute is divisible or indivisible. See Gelin, 837 F.3d at 1243. The federal circuit courts have long considered theft offenses, including robbery, to involve moral turpitude. See Mendoza v. Holder, 623 F.3d 1299, 1303-04 & nn. 8, 9 (9th Cir. 2010) (); Soetarto v.

Accordingly, we find no abuse of discretion in the sentencing judge’s determination. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, we affirm Arsenault’s 780-month sentence. 1 . As this sentencing appeal follows a guilty plea, “we glean the relevant facts from the change-of-plea colloquy, the unchallenged portions of the presentence investigation report [ ('PSI') ], and the record of the disposition hearing.” United States v. Vargas, 560 F.3d 45, 47 (1st Cir. 2009). 2 . The government argues that Arsenault may have waived any dispute regarding the Guidelines computations by repeatedly failing to object. See generally United States v. Sweeney, 606 Fed.Appx. 588, 591 (1st Cir. 2015)(). But we assume favorably to Arsenault that he ### Response: holding that a waived issue ordinarily cannot be resurrected on appeal whereas a forfeited issue may be reviewed for plain error " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: The employer maintains that that part of the settlement agreement by which the employee waived and discharged the employer from any claim “for medical expenses in connection with his left knee and his right knee” unambiguously releases the employer from liability for medical expenses relating to the treatment of the right knee arising in the future. See, e.g., Wix Corp. v. Davis, 945 So.2d 1040 (Ala.Civ.App.2005). The employer further maintains that the judgment approving the settlement agreement adopted the terms of the settlement agreement and bars the employee from relitigat-ing the issue of the employer’s liability for future medical expenses relating to the treatment of his right knee. See, e.g., Shop-A-Snak Food Mart, Inc. v. Penhale, 693 So.2d 479, 480-81 (Ala.Civ.App.1997) ().

Courts have similarly granted specific performance of covenants not to compete, leases, and other agreements, after supplying contractual terms suited to the parties’ initial expectations. See e.g., Gerard v. Almouli, 746 F.2d 936, 939-40 (2nd Cir.1984) (); McLouth Steel Corp. v.

Id. at 244 (Plaintiff and Bott would talk about once a month or every six weeks and it would come up about every three times they talked). Plaintiff testified that to all of these inquires he always responded that he enjoyed his job and had no plans to retire. PI. Resp. at 10. As an initial matter, the Court has not been presented with any evidence that Domzalski or Bott had any input in the decision to terminate Plaintiffs contract.

B Liberty asserts that, because the jury found only pretext, not pretext plus, it could not have acted with the evil motive or intent that the federal standard for exemplary damages requires. This assertion is not unlike Liberty’s due process argument, see supra Part III(B), and suffers the same fate. A jury need not find some special sort of malign purpose in order to exact punitive damages in a disparate treatment case because the “intent” that is necessary to under-gird an award of punitive damages in such a ease is the same “intent” that is required' for a finding of discrimination in the first place. See Rowlett v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 832 F.2d 194, 205 (1st Cir.1987) ().

Hayes appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging prison officials violated his constitutional right of access to the courts by denying him adequate access to the law library during prison lock-down periods. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim, Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm. The district court properly dismissed Hayes’ action because the allegations in Hayes’ amended complaint demonstrate that, even if his access to the law library was deficient, he did not sustain an actual injury as a result of defendants’ conduct. See Letvis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 351-53, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996) (); see also Sands v.

We have also held, however, that a “single document that disposes of all remaining claims can satisfy Rule 58 so long as it is sufficiently terse.” Kidd v. District of Columbia, 206 F.3d 35, 37 (D.C.Cir.2000). There is no doubt that if the twelve pages issued by the district court in this case were regarded as one document, that document would not satisfy the requirements of Rule 58.

Gilbertson, 501 U.S. 350, 363, 111 S.Ct. 2773, 115 L.Ed.2d 321 (1991). Equitable argues that Malhotra’s claims are barred by the three-year prong of the statute of limitations. Under this prong, known as the “three-year statute of repose,” “a claimant has ‘no more than three years after the occurrence’ of the conduct inducing the Plaintiff to make its securities purchase to file a section 10(b) or Rule 10b-5 claim.” Isanaka v.

I. Standard of Review Whenever a prisoner files an action seeking redress from a governmental entity or an officer of employee of a governmental entity, the court must review the complaint to ensure that the case goes forward only if it contains cognizable claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The court must dismiss the complaint, or any part thereof, if it is frivolous, malicious or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted or if it seeks monetary relief from a defendant immune from such relief. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). This screening requirement applies both where the inmate has paid the filing fee and where he is proceeding in forma pauperis. See Carr v. Dvorin, 171 F.3d 115 (2d Cir.1999) (per curiam) ().

While we agree that these incidents are troubling, the record does not compel the conclusion that they rise to the level of “persecution.” See Fatin v. INS, 12 F.3d 1233, 1240 (3d Cir.1993) (defining persecution as “threats to life, confinement, torture, and economic restrictions so severe that they constitute a threat to life or freedom,” and explaining that persecution “does not encompass all treatment that our society regards as unfair, unjust or even unlawful or unconstitutional”); Wong v. Att’y Gen., 539 F.3d 225, 236 (3d Cir.2008) (observing that “harassment and discrimination do not constitute persecution”); Lie, 396 F.3d at 536 ().

See United States v. Isiofia, 370 F.3d 226, 230 (2d Cir.2004). Voluntariness is determined by reference to the “ ‘totality of all the circumstances.’ ” Id. at 231 (quoting Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. at 227, 93 S.Ct. 2041). While more than “mere acquiescence in a show of authority” is necessary to establish the voluntariness of a consent, United States v. Wilson, 11 F.3d 346, 351 (2d Cir.1993), the fact that a person is in custody or has been subjected to a display of force does not automatically preclude a finding of voluntariness, see United States v.

Rather, Respondent argued that the incidents were diverse and that there was no indication that the same individuals were involved in all of the incidents. Therefore, Respondent failed to preserve the argument he now attempts to assert on appeal. See N.C.R. App. P. 10(b)(1) (stating that “[i]n order to preserve a question for appellate review, a party must have presented to the trial court a timely request, objection or motion, stating the specific grounds for the ruling the party desired the court to make if the specific grounds were not apparent from the context”); State v.

In the present case, Diercks sought review of a sale of property by the FSLIC in its corporate capacity. Yet, as we have noted, Congress left the decision of what to sell, how to sell and when to sell to the discretion of the corporation. Thus, the corporation could have sold the property without taking bids or by any other procedure it saw fit. That it chose the reasonable and commendable procedure of accepting bids and choosing the one that provided it with the greatest return is a decision which this court cannot question. Cf. § 10 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 701(a)(2) (which prohibits judicial review of agency action “committed to agency discretion by law”) and Ferry v.

Black’s Law Dictionary (5th Ed. West Pub. Co.1979). Based on these definitions, the Debtor’s interest in the Trust was not derived byway of bequest, devise or inheritance. His rights in the trust were transferred inter vivos, not by way of will or intestate succession. This holding is consistent with the majority of Courts that have addressed the issue of whether an interest in an inter vivos trust is within the reach of § 541(a)(5)(A). See, e.g., In re Schmitt, 215 B.R. 417, 422, n. 2 (9th Cir.

Co., 964 F.2d 501, 503 (5th Cir.1992) (same). We agree with the Fifth and D.C. Circuits that the definitions of the SEA do not necessarily control the meaning of the same terms in the NASD’s own By-Laws and Rules. Here, the Ni^SD’s different definition does not result in any rule or practice that is inconsistent with the statute or any regulatory command of the SEC. Moreover, the SEC reviews and approves all NASD rules and by-laws before they become effective. See 15 U.S.C. §§ 78o-3 & 78s; see also Shearson/American Express, Inc. v.

Black’s Law Dictionary defines clear and convincing as “proof beyond a reasonable, i.e., a well-founded doubt.” See Black’s Law Dictionary at 317 (4th ed. 1951). In this case, the Court has a doubt that Defendant may not flee or pose a danger to the community based on Defendant’s failure to proffer substantiated evidence. This fail ure leaves the Court no option but to find that Defendant has failed to meet the first prong of § 3143(b). See United States v. Manso-Portes, 838 F.2d 889, 890 (7th Cir.1988) ().

See R.C.M. 1001(f)(2)(A) (providing that the sentencing authority may consider evidence of other offenses or acts of misconduct properly introduced on the merits even if introduced for limited purpose); see also United States v. Figura, 44 M.J. 308, 310 (C.A.A.F.1996) (). Mil. R.

Edwin Roman appeals from his sentences for two counts of sexual battery on a person less than twelve years of age (counts I & II) and one count of lewd molestation (count III). He was seventeen years old at the time of the offenses. After a jury found Roman guilty of the charged offenses, the trial court sentenced Roman to concurrent terms of life in prison for counts one and two and a concurrent fifteen-year term for count three. While Roman’s appeal was pending the Supreme Court decided Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48, 130 S.Ct. 2011, 176 L.Ed.2d 825 (2010) ().

See East Texas Motor Freight Sys., Inc. v. Rodriguez, 431 U.S. 395, 403, 97 S.Ct. 1891, 52 L.Ed.2d 453 (1977) (discussing membership in a proposed class); Reid v. White Motor Corp., 886 F.2d 1462, 1471 (6th Cir.1989) (“A class representative must be part of the class and ‘possess the same interest and suffer the same injury as class members.’”) (citations omitted). While class definitions obviously are tailored to the specifics of every ease, important elements of defining a class include: (1) specifying a particular group that was harmed during a particular time frame, in a particular location, in a particular way; and (2) facilitating a court’s ability to ascertain its membership in some objective manner. Crosby v. Soc. Sec. Admin., 796 F.2d 576, 580 (1st Cir.1986) (); see Rodriguez v. Berrybrook Farms, Inc., 672 ### Response: holding that a class could not be certified because the definition made class members impossible to identify prior to individualized factfinding and litigation and thereby failed to satisfy one of the basic requirements for a class action under rule 23 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: control, the conduct of the salespersons who allegedly discriminated against the Holleys with respect to the sale of real estate. While we recognize that corporate officers and shareholders are generally shielded from personal liability, we agree with the Seventh Circuit that “where common ownership and management exists, corporate formalities must not be rigidly adhered to when inquiry is made of civil rights violations.” Matchmaker, 982 F.2d at 1098. Thus, under relevant HUD regulatory history, and because the duty not to discriminate is a non-delegable one, we join other courts in holding that officers can be individually liable for discriminatory acts of corporate employees under their management and control. See e.g., Tropic Seas, 887 F.Supp. at 1365; Northside, 605 F.2d at 1354 ().

Mercer County Board of Education, 208 W.Va. 177, 539 S.E.2d 437 (2000): Grievance rulings involve a combination of both deferential and plenary review. Since a reviewing court is obligated to give deference to factual findings rendered by an administrative law judge, a circuit court is not permitted to substitute its judgment for that of the hearing examiner with regard to factual determinations. Credibility determinations made by an administrative law judge are similarly entitled to deference. Plenary review is conducted as to the conclusions of law and application of , law to the facts, which are reviewed de novo. See also Martin v. Randolph County Bd. of Educ., 195 W.Va. 297, 304, 465 S.E.2d 399, 406 (1995) ().

While the goal of equity and justice is certainly a factor to be considered in constructing a distribution, it is not the only factor, nor does the statute provide that it should carry more weight than the other enumerated factors. See § 61.075(1), Fla. Stat. (2012). Rather, the statute provides that an unequal distribution can be made if it is justified after “all relevant factors” have been considered, including the factors contained in section 61.075(l)(a)-(j). See Boutwell, 920 So.2d at 158; see also Wagner v. Wagner, 61 So.3d 1141, 1143 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011), reh’g denied, ().

Under Ex parte Bole, the circuit court, is without subject-matter jurisdiction to hear those tort claims. I note that the plaintiffs argue that Ex parte Bole is distinguishable from the present case. Specifically, the plaintiffs argue, in part, that Ex parte Bole is distinguishable because they filed their tort claims as third parties who are completely outside the purview and ecclesiastical supervision and jurisdiction of the church. This distinction is insignificant. This Court’s decision in Ex parte Bole holds that a circuit court does not have jurisdiction over certain types of t -48 (Mo.1997) (); H.R.B. v.

This is particularly so when the incestuous act is between • a parent and child, beginning in childhood and continuing into adulthood. Consequently, the rule announced in Mercer and restated in Bolin was superseded by the 1973 amendments to the incest statute. Under Section 25.02 as it exists today, evidence merely establishing that the complainant was an adult and failed to complain or resist is not sufficient to establish that an incest victim was an accomplice. Cf. Smith v. State, 332 S.W.3d 428, 439-40 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011) ().

Unexhausted claims may be procedurally defaulted. See, e.g., Reese v. Baldwin, 282 F.3d 1184, 1190 (9th Cir.2002). A claim is procedurally defaulted “if the petitioner failed to exhaust state remedies and the court to which the petitioner would be required to present his claims in order to meet the exhaustion requirement would now find the claims procedurally barred.” Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 735 n. 1, 111 S.Ct. 2546, 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991). If Beaty has any unexhausted claims, he has procedurally defaulted them, because he is now time-barred under Arizona law from going back to state court. See Ariz. R.Crim. P. 32.2(a); see also Stewart v. Smith, —U.S. —, 122 S.Ct. 2578, 153 L.Ed.2d 762 (2002) ().

Prancevic has adduced evidence that would support a finding that his First Amendment protected speech was a substantial or motivating factor in the DA’s decision to transfer his work assignment from Santa Maria to Lompoc. For example, the Chief Trial Deputy of the DA’s office testified that Defendant David Saunders was “infuriated” by Prancevic’s letter, and “[i]n the meeting,” in which Prancevic’s transfer was ordered, “the context was obviously punishment.” The DA officials are therefore not entitled to qualified immunity at this stage of the case. See Eng v. Cooley, 552 F.3d 1062, 1071 (9th Cir.2009); Yartzoff v. Thomas, 809 F.2d 1371, 1376 (9th Cir.1987) ().

See Jarrell v. Nicholson, 20 Vet.App. 326, 332 (2006) (en banc) (noting a request for revision on the basis of CUE “is a collateral attack on an otherwise final benefits decision on the basis of a specific allegation of CUE”). It is not a claim for benefits, although it is related to benefits, and the duty to assist does not apply. See Cook v. Principi, 318 F.3d 1334, 1341 (Fed.Cir.2002) (en banc). There can be no dispute that a request for waiver of indebtedness is related to VA benefits. The indebtedness in this case arose from an overpayment of benefits, 06) (remanding for the Board or regional office to give a sympathetic reading to pro se application for benefits); see also Moody v.

The answer to this question today, as it has been each time this issue has come before this Court, is emphatically no. In addressing this very question in Commonwealth v. Evola, 421 Pa.Super. 595, 618 A.2d 969 (1992), allocatur denied, 535 Pa. 666, 634 A.2d 1114 (1993), and more recently in Commonwealth v.

Harris, 423 Pa.Super. at 197-99, 620 A.2d at 1179; see also Evola, 421 Pa.Super. at 599 n. 3, 618 A.2d at 971 n. 3 (); McDermott, 377 Pa.Super. at 631, 547 A.2d at ### Response: holding that the court of common pleas had no authority to grant early parole when defendants aggregate sentence for imposed consecutive sentences is two or more years " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: accident insurance.” We are mindful that, in practice, the timing of payment as between the two coverages may differ. A claimant may generally obtain UM benefits (subject to subrogation rights) without first suing the uninsured tortfeasor. See, e.g., State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Galloway, 373 N.W.2d 301, 304 (Minn.1985) (noting that injured claimants commonly collect UM benefits, subject to the insurer’s subrogation rights, before commencing an action against the uninsured motorist). In contrast, because UIM coverage depends upon the tortfeasor’s liability insurance being insufficient to cover a claimant’s damages, a UIM claim does not mature until after liability and damages have been established. See, e.g., Emps. Mut. Cos. v. Nordstrom, 495 N.W.2d 855, 858 (Minn.1993) ().

The trial court asked Nero if she was satisfied with her attorney, if she understood that she was pleading guilty and the sentence recommendation, and if everything put in front of her was explained to her. Nero testified that she has ADHD, but a mental evaluation found she did not suffer from any disability that would prevent her from knowing right from wrong and that she was competent to stand trial. Nero cites to Henderson v. Morgan, 426 U. S. 637 (96 SCt 2253, 49 LE2d 108) (1976), for the assertion that her guilty plea should be withdrawn because it was not explained to her during the plea hearing that she was being charged as a party to the crime or that she was responsible for what the others did during the robbery.

McDaniels, 512 F.3d 193, 197-98 (5th Cir.2007) (per curiam). However, May-field has not alleged any physical injury and his complaint seeks only compensatory damages. As such, Mayfield’s claims for damages are barred by § 1997e(e). See Geiger 404 F.3d at 375 (applying § 1997e(e) to bar prisoner’s claim for damages brought under § 1983 alleging a First Amendment violation); RLUIPA, 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc-2(e) (“Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to amend or repeal the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (including provisions of law amended by that Act).”); Cutter v.

In my opinion, there is. First, as the court of appeals noted, the unprovoked shooting by Salter amounted to evidence sufficient for a jury to infer that there was legal provocation. See State v. Pittman, 373 S.C. 527, 573, 647 S.E.2d 144, 168 (2008) (“This court has previously held than an overt, threatening act or a physical encounter may constitute sufficient legal provocation.”). Second, I agree with the court of appeals that Niles’s testimony that he immediately returned fire out of fear for himself and his fiancee provided evidence from which a jury could find that Niles was acting pursuant to an uncontrollable impulse to do violence. State v. Wiggins, 330 S.C. 538, 549, 500 S.E.2d 489, 495 (1998) ().

If the plaintiffs pleadings are insufficient to demonstrate the court’s jurisdiction, but do not affirmatively show incurable defects in jurisdiction, the proper remedy is to allow the plaintiff an opportunity to amend before dismissal. Brown, 80 S.W.3d at 555; Peek, 779 rson sought to be deposed be a potentially liable defendant in the claim under investigation. Because a portion of the claim under investigation — a claim against Altivia — is under the jurisdiction of the state district court, the court did not err in denying the City’s plea to the jurisdiction. See City of Willow Park v. Squaw Creek Downs, L.P., 166 S.W.3d 336, 340-41 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2005, no pet.) ().

Because Clu-siau dealt with a separate doctrine and was based on different practical considerations, we do not find it controlling here. ¶ 14 Our conclusion in this case comports with the majority of jurisdictions that have addressed the issue. See, e.g., Vincent v. Clean Water Action Project, 939 P.2d 469, 473 (Colo.App.1997) (concluding that judgment in a court of limited jurisdiction “precludes later litigation of the same issues that were or could have been brought”); Orselet v. DeMatteo, 206 Conn. 542, 539 A.2d 95, 99 (1988) (finding claim preclusion prevented a subsequent action for personal injuries when a prior small claims judgment had awarded repair costs); Hindmarsh v.

(noting that famous marks must meet high standard and that marks famous only in specialized segment of market may be protected from dilution, if at all, only when diluting uses are directed narrowly at same market segment). In any event, these issues need not be resolved given the uncontested applicability of § 8.01-328.1(A)(4). 10 . In Bochan, the constitutional prong of the analysis was satisfied by the purposeful direction of the defamatory remarks at a Virginia defendant regarding activities presumably occurring in Virginia.

Our initial step in that determination is to ascertain the appropriate level of generality at which we assess “substantial risk.” Specifically, we must determine whether we consider, for purposes of assessing substantial risk under § 16(b), only the offense as defined by state law, or whether we can take into account the particular conduct alleged. A We conclude that the language of 18 U.S.C. § 16 and our precedents require that the crime of violence analysis be conducted at the level of the statutory definition. See United States v. Reyes-Castro, 13 F.3d 377, 379 (10th Cir.1993) () (citing United States v.

The final three reasonableness factors involve the relationship between the Plaintiff and Ballard and their behavior during the time-period at issue. In this case none of three lead this Court to question the reasonableness of the forum selection clause. The negotiations culminating in the execution of the Agreement were at arms length (there are no allegations to the contrary), and Plaintiff is a sophisticated and successful medical device designer and consultant. Moreover, nothing in the record suggests that Ballard coerced Plaintiff into signing the agreement or that Plaintiff grudgingly acceded to a forum designation demand.

EPA, 566 U.S.-, 132 S.Ct. 1367, 182 L.Ed.2d 367 (2012), that an Environmental Protection Agency “compliance order,” the equivalent of a municipal notice of violation, was a final agency action subject to judicial review because the order affected the use of the property at issue and appeal was the only adequate remedy. Id. at 1372-74; see also Annable v. Bd. of Envtl. Prot., 507 A.2d 592, 595-96 (Me.1986) ().

See id. After reviewing the circumstances of plaintiffs injuries, and the rationales underlying the doctrine, the court finds plaintiffs FTCA suit is barred because his injuries occurred incident to his military service. There is no question that plaintiffs injuries were “at least ‘remotely related’ to [his] military service.” Corey v. United States, 1997 WL 474521, at *5, 124 F.3d 216(10th Cir. Aug.20,1997). B.

The fact that death is inevitable is not sufficient to establish a real and immediate threat of future harm. Appellants did not cite any evidence that any of the eleven named individuals are even charged with the task of purchasing a casket for a friend or relative upon his or her passing. “Such ‘some day’ intentions — without any description of concrete plans, or indeed any specification of when the some day will be — do not support a finding of the ‘actual or imminent’ injury that our cases require.” Summers, 555 U.S. at 496, 129 S.Ct. 1142 (quoting Lujan v.

González, 491 F.3d 18, 21 (1st Cir.2007). The BIA found accordingly here, and there is nothing on this record that would “compel” a contrary result. Instead of a “pattern or practice” of persecution approach, Sugiarto relies on the disfavored group theory, arguing that she need only show a “comparatively low” level of individualized risk because Christians of Chinese ethnicity are a “disfavored group” in Indonesia. It is relevant in this context that country conditions evidence on the record, namely, State Department Human Rights Reports, do indicate some degree of continuing violence against Christians perpetrated by terrorist groups in Indonesia, even if a pattern or practice is not established.

First, nothing in the record indicates that Myers’s participation in the settlement conference was anything but voluntary — a point Myers’s appellate counsel conceded during oral argument. Myers requested the procedure and could have thereafter “unilaterally withdraw[n his] request for a settlement conference at any time,” N.D. Cal.Crim. R. 11 — 1(d), but he simply failed to do so. This failure supports reviewing Myers’s alleged error under our plain-error standard. See United States v. Vonn, 535 U.S. 55, 59, 122 S.Ct. 1043, 152 L.Ed.2d 90 (2002) ().

Although LVNV attached to its pleadings a redacted spreadsheet listing the Debtors’ account information and balance, the Court will not presume that this is the same ""Receivable File” described in the bill of sale between Sherman and LVNV; and this Court will also not presume that the spreadsheet submitted by LVNV came from the elusive ""Disk” supplied to Sherman by Citibank.

City of Mauldin, 308 S.C. 226, 417 S.E.2d 592 (1992). The circuit court held “[u]nder the clear and unambiguous limitations of the statute a third party claim by BPV cannot be paid from the state fund.” We agree. On appeal, Worsley argues BPV had only a beneficial interest in tract # 60 and therefore had no control over the use of the property at the time of the release. At trial, however, the parties did not dispute that BPV was the owner of tracts # 60 and # 79 at all relevant times, including the time when the contamination occurred in 1991. From the record before us, we do not see where Worsley made this argument to the trial court. Accordingly, the argument is not properly before this court. See Wilder Corp. v.

There was no evidence that the prior acts were in any way committed in conjunction with the charged offense, and thus there was no basis upon which to conclude that the prior acts were evidence of a common scheme or plan. The second branch of the “plan” exception in Rule 404(b) relates to questions of identity and motive, and often involve an examination of the similarity of the prior bad acts to the charged offense, or to the relationship between the defendant and the victim as means for showing motive. See Hicks v. State, 690 N.E.2d 215, 221-22 (Ind. 1997). Evidence of prior acts may be probative in that respect. Id. (citing, inter alia, Ross v. State, 676 N.E.2d 339, 349 (Ind. 1996); Price v.

For example, there was no evidence that the officers knew appellant to be a convicted felon, that the shotgun was immediately recognizable as being illegal (i.e., sawed off shotgun), or that the shotgun was suspected of having been used in a crime which the officers were investigating. Furthermore, since appellant was arrested outside of the apartment and immediately handcuffed, and the officers entered the apartment only to check on the welfare of the small child, the safety of the officers was not a concern which would justify seizure of the gun.

In this case, it is evident that VA’s failure to provide notice in accordance with 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(f)(3) did not constitute prejudicial error. Assuming arguendo that the appellant put forth sufficiently specific allegations of prejudice (see Appellant’s Br. at 13), the Court holds that YA has rebutted those allegations and demonstrated that no prejudice resulted from the § 3.304(f)(3) notice error. At several points in the record, the appellant demonstrated his actual knowledge of the amended provisions of § 3.304(f) and his ability to submit supporting evidence thereunder.

In ordering restitution, the district court relied on several different pieces of evidence. The victims submitted affidavits describing the harms that they suffered and estimating the number of sex acts that they were forced to perform during the period in question, and the government submitted evidence from four independent sources to support its estimate of the price that Defendants charged for each sex act. Because we hold that the district court erred by calculating restitution using the market value of the prostitution services that the victims performed, we need not decide whether sufficient evidence supported that calculation.

In this regard, the position of a eourl-appointed trustee is similar to that of a court-appointed master. We stated in State v. Wiegmann, 350 Md. 585, 714 A.2d 841 (1998), that ""[a] master is not a judicial officer, and the Maryland Constitution does not vest a master with any judicial powers.” Wiegmann, 350 Md. at 593, 714 A.2d at 845 (citing In re Anderson, 272 Md. 85, 106, 321 A.2d 516, 527 (1974) ()).

Even the limited focus on injury and cause is subject to reasonable controversy, since this Court, on occasion, has suggested a broader focus on the plaintiffs knowledge of the fact of a cause of action. See, e.g., Pastierik, 514 Pa. at 524, 526 A.2d at 327. Finally, different decisions may be read as suggesting differing litmuses in the application of the terms “injury” and “cause.” Compare, e.g., Caro, 867 A.2d at 538 (), with Fine, 582 Pa. at 272-73, 870 A.2d at ### Response: holding at least under the facts of the case that the statute of limitations in a medical malpractice action did not begin to run until the plaintiff secured a specific medical diagnosis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: whether “special factors counseling hesitation in the absence of affirmative action by Congress” exist, Bivens v.

Here, the key question is should this Court infer the existence of a private right of action from the alleged violations of international law. An implied private action lies under the ATS “only for violations of treaties or customary international law.” Flores, 414 F.3d at 253; see Sosa, 124 S.Ct. at 2761-62. Thus, because Pfizer is not alleged to have violated any treaty, to state a claim under the ATS, Plaintiffs must demonstrate violation of a “clear and unambiguous” rule of customary international law.

In United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co. v. Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co., 896 F.2d 200, 203 (6th Cir.1990), the court interpreted a similar errors or omissions policy to not cover intentional acts. The Fireman’s Fund policy did not specifically exclude intentional acts of the insured. The exclusions in that policy, like the exclusions here, were for dishonest, fraudulent, criminal or malicious acts. The court concluded that the only reasonable construction was that the insurance company “contracted to provide coverage for negligent — not intentional acts ****’’ Id. A willful violation of the FLSA does not constitute a “negligent act or omission.” Cf. City of Fort Pierre v. United Fire & Casualty Co., 463 N.W.2d 845, 848 (S.D. 1990) ().

A party who fails to raise an issue in the trial court has therefore waived the right to do so on appeal.” In re Marriage of Eben-King & King, 80 Cal.App.4th 92, 117, 95 Cal.Rptr.2d 113 (2000); Iliff v.

Furthermore, Defendants claim that Plaintiffs conviction in New York State Supreme Court does not undermine probable cause, but instead provides an alternative basis for the presumption of probable cause.

That opinion was obtained after the issuance of the October 1991 SSOC (R. at 838), and the appellant was not thereafter afforded an opportunity to respond or to submit additional evidence. See Williams, 8 Vet.App. at 138. Moreover, even if such an opportunity had been provided, the very use of the BMAO by the Board without a discussion of compliance with applicable regulations would have raised the same questions raised in Austin and Williams about the process by which the BMAO was obtained and used. However, the Austin violation can result in an unfair adjudication and a remand only if the Court determines that the denial of the § 1310 DIC claim was properly reopened by the Board.

Here, the relevant question requiring factual support is whether DBA’s contracts with debt collectors and law firms are extraterritorial or not. As indicated above, the answer to this question is extremely fact sensitive, resting on where the essential elements necessary for contract formation took place. The record, however, is bereft of such evidence. As defendants point out, Berman’s bald assertion that DBA’s contracts with debt collectors and law firms are entered into “outside of the State of New York” does little more than restate the legal conclusion that these contracts are extraterritorial. As a legal conclusion, it cannot support summary judgment. See Schwapp v. Town of Avon, 118 F.3d 106, 111 (2d Cir.1997) (); Suzy Phillips Originals, Inc. v.

In Cole v. First National Bank of Fort Smith, 304 Ark. 26, 800 S.W.2d 412, 413-14 (1990), the Arkansas Supreme Court held that the plaintiff had completed service for purposes of the savings statute when it sent the complaint and summons by certified mail addressed to the defendant at his post office box, and the defendant’s stepdaughter accepted service and signed the return receipt. Although the trial court found that service had been perfected, the Arkansas Supreme Court held that the defendant’s stepdaughter was not his agent and thus that service had not been perfected. Id. at 414. Nevertheless, the Arkansas Supreme Court held that the savings statute applied. Id. Somewhat similarly, 52 (1994) ().

But the statutory language — defining proceeds to include property obtained “directly or indirectly” from the crime — and our criminal forfeiture cases endorse no such stringent standard. For instance, in Michael and Christopher’s appeal, we held that the investor money that funded the purchase of the cashier’s checks constituted forfeitable proceeds because “the transactions ‘all resulted directly or indirectly from a conspiracy to commit fraud.’ ” Smith, 749 F.3d at 488-89 (citation omitted); see also United States v.

Edison maintains that the City’s interpretation of section 8—402 is contrary to two basic rules of statutory construction: (1) a specific statutory provision controls over a more general provision (Maxwell v.

App. 3d 68, 580 N.E.2d 920 (GOCS)); and (2) no statutory provision should be interpreted so as to render another provision meaningless. In re Application of County Collector (1989), 132 Ill. 2d 64, 72, 547 N.E.2d 107. First, the City seeks to impose a statutory duty through section 1—102, even though that section is merely prefatory in nature. (See GOCS, 220 Ill. App. 3d at 74 ().)

Martin, 252 F.3d 1141, 1143 (10th Cir.2001) (citations and quotation omitted). Applying the Pickering/Connick balancing test, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of Downing. It concluded that the issue of King’s lapsed insurance and his interest in forming a union failed at the first step, because both involved personnel issues, not protected speech that touched on matters of public concern.

See id. at 903-07. The appellants concede that the right to a set off under § 553 is merely permissive and subject to the discretion of the bankruptcy court.

This evidence would support a good faith belief by a reasonable person that the Pellicano-Christensen recordings might contain similar discussions about wiretapping, especially in the context of Christensen’s representation of Kerkorian and the large sums of money Christensen’s firm had paid Pellicano. The affidavit also recounted testimony from former PIA employees that “confirmed the widespread use of wiretapping in Pellicano’s investigations.” We conclude that the government made the requisite “minimal showing” that the Pellicano-Christensen recordings might contain evidence showing the crime-fraud exception applied to any privileged communications within them.

Drawing on the analogous doctrine, the Court noted that “[t]o recover for constructive discharge,... an employee generally is required to quit his or her job.” Id. at 1258. The Court further explained that in both instances, the legal relationship has ended. See id. at 1258-59. Based on this dicta, the plaintiff contends that a cause of action for constructive discharge accrues when the legal relationship ends. We are not persuaded. Though of first impression in New Hampshire, several other jurisdictions have addressed this legal issue. See, e.g., Daniels v. Mutual Life Ins. Co., 773 A.2d 718, 721-22 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2001) (collecting cases); Clark v. State, 754 N.Y.S.2d 814, 817 (App. Div. 2003) (); UTMB v. Hohman, 6 S.W.3d 767, 774 (Tex.

Sarviss involved a class challenge to a military contractor’s employment practices brought by a former helicopter pilot. In Sarviss, the court held that although the employee was a California resident, the fact that he performed the “significant majority of his employment outside of California” rendered California’s wage and hour laws inapplicable to his work. Id. Even though the defendant in Sarviss was a Virginia corporation, the court held that the determinative issue is whether the employee principally worked in California. See also Vendetti v.

This constitutes reversible error, see Heifetz, 475 So.2d at 1282; Rogers, 920 So.2d at 31, and we reject any argument that the APD was justified in its action because it was merely rejecting or modifying a conclusion of law, see Pillsbury v.

Although the court held the statutory subsection did not regulate speech, the opinion states: ""Texas Penal Code section 21.15(b) neither limits photography because of the ideas expressed nor favors one type of photograph over another; therefore, the statute is content-neutral.” See Nyabwa, 366 S.W.3d at 725. As a result, the court seemingly agrees the statute regulates speech, that is, photography, but does it in a ""content neutral” manner. See id. 5 .

In fact, the State of Washington Supreme Court rejected the concept that a railroad easement could constitute a perpetual public easement under Washington law in Lawson v. State, 730 P.2d at 1313. Moreover, no federal court has relied on the holding in Troha that railbank-ing with interim trail use preserves future rail service. In fact, the only court to cite to the Troha decision is the United States Court of Federal Claims. For example, in a footnote in Raulerson v. United States, 99 Fed.Cl. 9, 12 n. 2 (2011), the court cited to Troha and stated: “But see Troha v. United States, 692 F.Supp.2d 550, 559-60 (W.D.Pa.2010) ().” Raulerson v.

Section 32.03(k) regulates no aspect of any protected expressions exhibited in the erotic dancing offered at the Clubs. Even with § 32.03(k) enforced, the Clubs could nonetheless offer erotic dancing, albeit not together with the service of alcohol. Section 32.03(k), however, references SOBs and applies to them, but that a statute references content does not alone mean that it is intended to suppress speech, even without a legislative record to suggest a purpose unrelated to speech.

This Court, however, has previously rejected Looney’s argument that the pecuniary gain aggravator in inconsistent with a concurrent finding of the avoid arrest aggravator. See Thompson v.

The excluded evidence was unquestionably relevant to the issue of injury. Transport assigned no error to the exclusion of the evidence, however. Its only complaint is that the evidence in the bill of exceptions conclusively established Faircloth’s lack of injury. For two reasons, we cannot adopt Transport’s argument as grounds for vacating the jury’s findings on the common-law claims. First, an appellate court generally may not reverse and render a different judgment based on excluded evidence. J.M. Abott Oil Co. v.

La Gard asserts that a “lever moving element” is a known structure in the lock art, but the district court determined otherwise. While true that “[m]any devices take their names from the functions they perform,” Greenberg, 91 F.3d at 1580, 39 USPQ2d at 1786, the “substantially non-resilient lever moving element” of claim 3 is not one of them. The district court determined that a “lever moving element” had not been shown to have a generally understood structural meaning in the art. See Mas-Hamilton, 21 F.Supp.2d at 730-31. We agree.

On the second day that Juarez-Gomez drove to the trailer, Detective Marbrey asked the landlord of the trailer to notify him when the yellow truck left the trailer. The landlord called Marbrey the next morning when the truck had departed the trailer, permitting the jury to draw the reasonable inference that Juarez-Gomez stayed at the trailer overnight. 6 . The government presented both argument and evidence at trial sufficient to permit the jury to conclude that A.G. was Juarez-Gomez’ have rejected such an argument in unpublished decisions.

We agree with the government that the district court did not have jurisdiction to order a new trial on November 5, 2001 for two reasons. First, the district court did not have jurisdiction to order a new trial because there was no motion pending. See United States v. Brown, 587 F.2d 187,189-90 (5th Cir.1979) () {citing FED. R. CRIM.

He appeals, challenging the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress the cocaine. We affirm, because the police officer lawfully seized the cocaine after discovering it in plain view when appellant was ordered out of his vehicle during the course of a lawful traffic stop for obstructing traffic. The trial court properly determined that appellant’s conduct in parking his vehicle in the roadway near an intersection and causing another vehicle to drive around appellant’s vehicle provided probable cause for the traffic stop. The facts in this case show an intent to impede or hinder the free flow of traffic, thus distinguishing this case from Underwood v. State, 801 So.2d 200 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) (). Here, because the deputy had probable cause ### Response: holding that the arresting officer did not have probable cause to stop the defendant for obstructing traffic because there was no evidence of intent to impede or hinder traffic where the vehicle was only briefly stopped in the roadway and the officer approaching the vehicle from behind did not have to stop or drive around the defendants vehicle " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: if believed by a reasonable trier of fact, would allow a finding of no unlawful discrimination, then “ ‘the McDonnell Douglas framework — with its presumptions and burdens’ — disappear[s], and the sole remaining issue [is] ‘discrimination vel non.’ ” Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 120 S.Ct. 2097, 2106, 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000) (citation omitted). At summary judgment in an employment discrimination case, a court should examine the record as a whole, just as a jury would, to determine whether a jury could reasonably find an invidious discriminatory purpose on the part of an employer. See Howley, 217 F.3d at 151; Stern v. Trustees of Columbia Univ., 131 F.3d 305, 314 (2d Cir.1997); cf. Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 242, 96 S.Ct. 2040, 48 L.Ed.2d 597 (1976) ().

Under these circumstances, the Court finds the cause prong satisfied. As for prejudice, if Mr. Johnson were to prevail on this motion, then, inter alia, the § 924(c) counts based on arson (Counts 10, 15, and 21) would be vacated—counts for which he received three life sentences without release. As Mr. Johnson points out, “[wjithout the convictions, [he] could have received a release date.” Reply at 4. Thus, prejudice is clear as well. Because there is both cause and prejudice, the Court now turns to the merits of Mr. Johnson’s motion. C. Johnson II’s Applicability The government acknowledges that, several months ago, this Court held in United States v. Baires-Reyes, No. 15-cr-00122 601 (3d Cir. 2016) (). The Court is not persuaded.

Venango River Corp., 995 F.2d 677 (7th Cir.1993). 9 . Like claims arising from the CBA, claims and allegations predicated upon the Merger and Fragmentation Policy also are subsumed by the federal duty of fair representation. See Nellis v.

Of course, the trial court itself would determine the appropriate amounts for economic, non-economic and loss of consortium as the trier of fact if a jury were not requested. Trial courts also have jurisdiction to accept settlements and to give effect to them. See Bruce W. Higley Defined Benefit Annuity Plan v.

As the Ninth Circuit explained in Ruiz, “in hiring drivers, [defendant] did not require special driving licenses or even any work experience; rather a driver simply had to have a driver’s license, sign a work agreement, and pass a physical examination and drug test.” Id.

Nevertheless, given the strong potential for an accomplice’s confession that implicates the defendant to unfairly infect the trial if considered as substantive evidence of guilt, and given the lack of otherwise overwhelming evidence of guilt, we have serious concerns that the verdict was substantially influenced by the constitutional error. It is only natural that a juror, upon hearing the out-of-court statements from two admitted participants in the robbery saying that Adamson was involved, would consider those statements in assessing guilt, unless instructed otherwise. Cf. Bruton, 391 U.S. at 135-36, 88 S.Ct. 1620 (describing “extrajudicial statements of a codefendant” as “devastating to the defendant”); see also Vazquez v.

Second, even if the probate court would entertain the petition, we view the chances of the churches winning reformation as small. Third, even if the churches were to prevail in reforming the indentures of trust, it is problematic whether that victory would change the ultimate analysis vis-a-vis BRMC’s entitlement to the bequest. After all, at the time of Ms. Krauss’s death, BRMC was functioning as a hospital and, thus, was still capable of applying the bequest to the care of indigent patients. And, finally, even if the churches succeeded in stripping away BRMC’s entitlement to the bequest, it is not certain that they would benefit. Cf., e.g., Town of Brookline v.

Marine Midland Bank involved the seizure of interbank funds under the federal civil forfeiture laws and upon a warrant issued by a federal magistrate judge, who had determined that the government had probable cause to believe that interbank accounts were being used to launder narcotics proceeds. Marine Midland Bank, 11 F.3d at 1121. The banks moved for return of the seized funds by order to show cause pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 41(e). Holding that ""[t]he magistrate judge's probable cause determination should be subject to judicial review,"" this Court found that the warrant had not been supported by probable cause and therefore ordered the release of certain of the interbank funds. Id. at 1125. 11 . See People v. Earley, 244 A.D.2d 769, 770-71, 666 N.Y.S.2d 223, 224 (3d Dep’t 1997) (); Grinberg v.

Donovan v. Mt. Ida College, No. 96-10289 (D.Mass.1997). Even if the measure of harassment in the educational environment is less rigorous than Title VII’s requirement of “severe and pervasive” conduct, the activity alleged in this complaint would miss the hostile environment mark. Holding a university president hable for creating a hostile learning environment solely because of an unpopular speech would also have serious First Amendment implications. See Brown v. Trustees of Boston Univ., 891 F.2d 337, 351 (1st Cir.1989) (), cert. denied, 496 U.S. 937, 110 S.Ct. 3217, ### Response: holding that it was error to permit the speeches of a university president to be admitted as evidence of discriminatory animus because of the chilling effect that admission of such remarks could have on academic freedom " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: intoxicated to the point of losing his or her faculties or sensibilities. Commonwealth v. Reiff, 489 Pa. 12, 413 A.2d 672, 674 (1980). Evidence that the accused ingested alcohol or other intoxicating drug — without more— does not warrant a voluntary intoxication instruction. Id. In Reiff, the evidence showed that the appellant had consumed approximately two and one-half quarts of beer during the several hours before he fatally shot a man, but there was no evidence that the appellant exhibited any signs of intoxication or unusual behavior. Id. at 673. Accordingly, we held that the trial court did not err in refusing to give a jury instruction as to diminished capacity due to voluntary intoxication. Id. at 674; see also Commonwealth v. Marinetti, 547 Pa. 294, 690 A.2d 203, 220-21 (1997) (). Here, Appellant rests his argument as to the ### Response: holding that the trial court did not err by refusing to give a voluntary intoxication charge because even though there was testimony that the appellant had consumed some alcohol prior to the killing there was no evidence that the appellant had been overwhelmed or overpowered by alcohol " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: must focus on the “cause of action” or “claim for relief.” 42 P.S. § 22004(3). This narrows the scope of the-Court’s inquiry significantly. Taking these standards into account, the Court does not hesitate to conclude that Mullin’s argument fails to meet the high threshold for'nonrecognition on public policy grounds. Lloyd’s cause of action in the English Action was for breach of contract. There is no support for any contention that a cause of action for breach of contract is repugnant to Pennsylvania public policy. See Turner, 303 F.3d at 333 (affirming recognition of judgment obtained by Lloyds against a Name, and rejecting argument that breach of contract cause of action contravenes Texas public policy); Southwest Livestock & Trucking Co. v. Ramon, 169 F.3d 317, 321 (5th Cir.1999) (); cf. J.F.Walker Co., Inc. v.

In the main, this appeal presents the question of whether the district court erred in denying Plaintiff-Appellant’s requested Fourth Amendment jury instructions with regard to Kramer. We address that portion of the appeal first. II In granting Kramer’s motion in li-mine to preclude Plaintiff-Appellant from arguing the applicability of the Fourth Amendment, the district court stated that Plaintiff-Appellant had waived her Fourth Amendment claim. Slip Op. at 6 (W.D.Wis. Jan. 9, 2013), ECF No. 643 (“[Pjlaintiff waived any right to a Fourth Amendment claim premised on an objectively unreasonable standard by failing to timely pursue such a claim.

Alabama Farm Bureau Mut. Cas. Ins. Co., 373 So.2d 628, 629 (Ala.1979), or as “unique,” because they contain elements of both contract actions and tort actions, see Preferred Risk Mut. Ins. Co. v. Ryan, 589 So.2d 165, 167 (Ala.1991). Third, Alabama courts have never held that “any defense” that is theoretically available to the uninsured motorist is also available to the insurer. Instead, our courts have stated that the insurer has available to it the “substantive defenses that would have been available to the uninsured motorist.” State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Griffin, 51 Ala.App. at 431, 286 So.2d at 306. Accord Allstate Ins. Co. v. Boynton, 486 So.2d 552, 558-59 (Fla.1986) (); Application of Travelers Indem.

Posner, supra. 8 . The Franchisees cite Carousel’s Creamery, LLC v. Marble Slab Creamery, Inc., a case from a Texas state court, for the proposition that a merger clause does not prevent a plaintiff from showing that he justifiably relied on a UFOC. 134 S.W.3d 385. The Franchisees argue that, because the Federal Trade Commission has promulgated rules governing the disclosures made in a UFOC, prospective franchisees who receive the disclosures are entitled to rely on them for purposes of a negligent misrepresentation claim, notwithstanding a disclaimer of reliance in the franchise agreement. However, this decision was based on an interpretation of the Texas parol evidence rule, which, unlike the Pennsylvania rule, does not bar claims of fraud in the inducement. Id. at 395 () (internal quotation omitted). This rule is ### Response: holding that consistent with parol evidence rule a merger clause can be avoided based on fraud in the inducement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is error. Such error, however, does not automatically require reversal unless it is shown that, but for counsel’s errors, there is a reasonable probability that the sentence would have been different. When reviewing a claim of ineffectiveness based upon failing to present adequate mitigating evidence, we must view the totality of the evidence — both that adduced at trial and that adduced in the postconviction proceeding. Thus, it is undisputed that the guarantee of effective assistance of counsel clearly encompasses the penalty phase of á criminal trial, and this court has recognized that the failure to present any testimony during the mitigation phase of the trial fails to pass constitutional muster. See, e.g., Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 120 S.Ct. 1495, 146 L.Ed.2d 389 (2000) (); see also State v.

For this reason, we find that the County’s suggested interpretation is also reasonable. Thus, contrary to Appellants’ suggestion, it is not entirely clear from the face of the statute whether the Legislature intended unclaimable interest and other accretions to escheat along with the principal in every case. The statute being ambiguous, see Trizechahn Gateway LLC v. Titus, 601 Pa. 637, 653, 976 A.2d 474, 483 (2009) (), we must resolve the question with reference ### Response: recognizing that an ambiguity exists when there are at least two reasonable interpretations of the text under review " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Corp., 363 U.S. 593, 598-99, 80 S.Ct. 1358, 4 L.Ed.2d 1424 (1960); United Steelworkers v.

Thus, we cannot say the district court’s finding was clearly erroneous. 5 . Because we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that Burns did not inform the dispatcher why he suspected the van was carrying undocumented aliens, we do not reach the question of whether Healy had reasonable suspicion to stop the van had this information been provided. That said, under similar circumstances, when the informant conveyed the reasons for her suspicions, we have held that reasonable suspicion existed to stop a vehicle. See United States v. Leos-Quijada, 107 F.3d 786, 788-89, 794 (10th Cir.1997) ### Response: holding that officer had reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle when confidential informant personally observed the vehicle provided a description of the vehicle and its direction detailed the basis for her suspicion that the vehicle was engaged in illegal activity and had previously given reliable information that led to the successful apprehension of individuals engaged in various criminal activity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to avoid prosecution, this Court does not find that based on these facts, substantial evidence supports the Appeals Council’s determination that claimant was fleeing with the intent to avoid prosecution. Additionally, the state of Montana’s failure and unwillingness to extradite claimant though he has volunteered to return lends support to this Court’s determination that the Appeals Council’s decision is unsupported by substantial evidence, particularly when it was police in the state of Montana who initially suggested that claimant depart. In analogous situations involving extradition of an individual from a foreign country to face charges, the government must demonstrate due diligence in seeking that individual’s return. See United States v. Diacolios, 837 F.2d 79, 84 (2nd Cir.1988)(). While this Court does not suggest that in ### Response: holding that while the speedy trial clause does not prevent the government from adhering to its general policy not to seek extradition outside the extradition treaty with a foreign country if the defendant did express a willingness to surrender himself to appropriate authorities the government would be under an obligation to provide transportation to the united states at the governments expense if defendants financial circumstances so warrant " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of The Colony v.

The federal court would have been competent to decide them only if the plaintiff had asked the court to do so and the court, in its discretion, agreed to assume jurisdiction over them. Andujar v.

Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963), applies to enforcement proceedings, and though the Board’s order did not address Jencks v. United States, 353 U.S. 657, 77 S.Ct. 1007, 1 L.Ed.2d 1103 (1957), FDIC counsel assures us that the FDIC has the same view of it. Thus we also assume without deciding that both cases apply. Cf.

Adkins v. Bd. of Educ. of Magoffin County, Kentucky, 982 F.2d 952 (6th Cir.1993). The district court recognized that Plaintiffs complaint did not expressly invoke the First Amendment. The district court would have rejected any First Amendment claim, citing Claybrook v. Birchwell, 199 F.3d 350, 357 (6th Cir.2000) (“[A] section 1983 cause of action is entirely personal to the direct victim of the alleged constitutional tort.”) The district court reasoned that because Plaintiff had alleged that his parents’ rights, rather than his own First Amendment rights, had been violated, the Plaintiff failed to state a First Amendment claim.

The facts do not support this theory. The officers took Cuva’s keys and searched his car even though he was not in or near the ear at the time of his detention.

Here Cuva was never seen in or near the vehicle. Even if he were lawfully in the officers’ custody when they learned where his car was parked, they had no legal basis to search his car without a warrant or his consent. The search was too remote in both place and time to be justified as a search-incident-to-arrest. State v.

The single “issue” presented for our review is, instead, a blend of several claimed errors. The ar gument suffers from a similar lack of organization and specificity, combining various claims of error and their respective standards of review. Consequently, we are left to comb through the briefs and the record to ascertain not only what Ms. Eacret is arguing, but whether the agency committed any error. This is a dangerous practice, because we are not required to speculate on what a party is arguing or to craft her arguments for her. Threet v.

Feiring, 313 U.S. 283, 285, 61 S.Ct. 1028, 85 L.Ed. 1333 (1941)). A tax is generally defined as a source of revenue that provides general benefits to the public. See, e.g., Hager v. City of W. Peoria, 84 F.3d 865, 870 (7th Cir.1996); Diginet, Inc. v. W.

Because the United States has expressly withheld waiver of its sovereign immunity as to claims of libel and slander, and, the court finds, by implication as to claims of defamation, plaintiffs defamation claims could not have been brought in federal district court under the FTCA. Federal prisoners who are injured by fellow inmates by reason of the negligence of federal employees can sue for their injuries under the Federal Tort Claims Act. See United States v. Muniz, 374 U.S. 150, 150, 83 S.Ct. 1850, 10 L.Ed.2d 805 (1963) (); see also Plummer v.

Jiang argues that her failure to mention the bribe at her asylum interview should not count against her because her interviewer wrongly assumed that Jiang stopped attending her checkups. Jiang’s argument ignores the interviewer’s subsequent question about how Jiang was able to hide her IUD removal. Jiang further argues that her omission of the bribe from her written statement was insignificant because the bribe does not -relate to the discovery of her unauthorized pregnancy in September 2012. But Jiang’s claim of persecution rests on China’s coercive birth control policies, of which IUD use is a strictly enforced component, so her evasion of those policies does relate to her credibility. See Xian Tuan Ye v. Dep’t of Homeland Sec., 446 F.3d 289, 295 (2d Cir. 2006) ().

Further more, Garrido-Valdez must rebut the presumption of correctness accorded to the state trial court’s factual determinations of impartiality by “clear and convincing evidence.” 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1). Garrido-Valdez, however, has not presented any evidence other than the voir dire testimony of Juror No. 9 and Juror No. 13 in support of his argument that these two individuals were incapable of being impartial. Thus, in holding that “[although [the two] prospective jurors initially expressed views casting doubt on their ability to be impartial in this case, they each ultimately stated unequivocally that they could be fair,” the state appellate court did not unreasonably apply clearly established federal law. See Patton v. Yount, 467 U.S. at 1040, 104 S.Ct. 2885. (). Ha-beas relief is not warranted on this ### Response: holding that the ambiguity in the testimony of the cited jurors who were challenged for cause was insufficient to overcome the presumption of correctness owed to the trial courts findings " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: means that Congress intended that limitations should be determined either by reference to a six-year period, or alternatively by reference to a measure established by agreement between the taxpayer and the government—in the case at bar, the time established in the waiver agreement. Thus when the alternative measure was established by the waiver agreement, the six-year statutory limitation period became functus officio and ceased to have any relevance in the determination of the timeliness of the government’s action. The district court, therefore, erred when it looked to the six-year limitation period after that period had become functus officio as a result of the waiver agreement. Id. at 197-98.

Such difficulties are “less compelling circumstances” than the statutory examples of “battery or extreme cruelty to the alien or any child or parent of the alien, serious illness of the alien, or serious illness or death of the spouse, child, or parent of the alien.” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(l). We agree with the reasoning of the Fifth Circuit that “[t]he plain language of the statute indicates that this is a difficult burden to meet.” Magdalena de Morales v.

But in this scenario — hopefully merely a hypothetical one — in which the Court’s class-wide causal inference for make-whole surcharge was legal error, unjust-enrichment surcharge might still be available on a classwide basis. For example, the Court could draw the inference, informed by basic economics, that if CIGNA had disclosed that its pension benefits were less valuable, some proportion of employees would have demanded and received higher salaries.

Here, the undersigned has concluded that the GPS Warrant Application did not give rise to probable cause, because it failed to establish a sufficient nexus between the use of Schermerhorn’s car and the suspected drug trafficking activities. The only facts offered were that a known drug dealer (Nguyen) had been a passenger in Schermerhorn’s car, which was driven by a white male, on one occasion, to a known drug supplier’s residence. There is substantial precedent in the Eighth Circuit that officers can reasonably rely on search warrants that lack any connection between a drug trafficker and his home, and that the evidence seized is admissible under Leon. See, e.g., United States v. Pruett, 501 F.3d 976, 982 (8th Cir.2007) (overruled on other grounds) (); United States v. Carpenter, 341 F.3d 666, 671 ### Response: holding that the warrant application at issue did not specifically mention the presence of criminal activity at defendants residence but that the executing officers reasonably relied on the warrant " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: pleading. The only document that had been filed prior to the motion was the notice of appearance filed by the Mesas’ attorney. That notice of appearance did not answer or respond to the complaint, raise any defense, seek any affirmative relief, or by its terms submit the Mesas to the jurisdiction of the court. Rather, it simply served as formal notice that counsel was representing the Mesas in the instant case, and requested that counsel be served with copies of any future pleadings, motions and notices. The trial court erred in determining that counsel’s filing of this notice of appearance waived the right to contest personal jurisdiction, including the right to contest the sufficiency of service of process. See Public Gas Co. v. Weatherhead Co., 409 So.2d 1026, 1027 (Fla.1982) ()(approving this court’s earlier conclusion in ### Response: holding that the filing of a notice of appearance by weatherheads counsel did not waive its right to claim lack of jurisdiction over its person " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: from property of the estate when it filed the instant contested claim — an act not in violation of the automatic stay. Therefore, § 362(c)(2)(C) is applicable in this case at bar, the automatic stay was no longer in effect, and the NPL is not void. On November 28, 1990, the Debtor consented to the denial of his discharge. All of these action taken by IDOR were taken to perfect an interest in property of the Debtor. All these actions occurred in 1991. Accordingly, pursuant to the plain meaning of the statutory language contained in § 362(c)(2)(C), the automatic stay was not in effect as to the Debtor and any post-petition property of the Debtor when these actions were taken. See United States v. Ron Pair Enters., Inc., 489 U.S. 235, 242, 109 S.Ct. 1026, 1030-31, 103 L.Ed.2d 290 (1989) ().

Drug trafficking cases accounted for 22,882 of the 54,785 cases reported by the Commission in the FY 2001 statistics. Id. at 56.

Despite the lies Kessler used to obtain the advances, the majority finds no evidence of intent to defraud because “[t]here is no evidence that at the time defendant obtained the draws from the Hemmers that he deceived them into believing he would repay the loan, when in fact he had no such intent.” Id. This Court, however, when interpreting SDCL 22-30A-3 (including its broader historical origin in the common law of larceny by false pretenses), adopted the law that “intent to repay the loan” is irrelevant when misrepresentations are used to obtain loan advances. State v. Phair, 2004 SD 88, ¶ 7, 684 N.W.2d 660, 662-63 ().

U.C.C. §§ 1-202(b), 9-317. It cannot be seriously argued that “value” was not given under these contracts. Traditional contracts law teaches that a mere peppercorn suffices as consideration. See Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 71 (1981) (stating that all that is required for consideration is a bargained-for exchange); Id. § 79 cmt. C (“[C]ourts do not inquire into the adequacy of consideration.”); First Mortgage Co. of Pa. v. Fed. Leasing Corp., 456 A.2d 794, 797 (Del.1982) ().

Op. at 65 (quoting Appellant Br. 32). Turning elsewhere, the majority posits the hypothetical of a defendant who is tortured, then confesses, then successfully challenges his conviction, then pleads guilty prior to retrial (under no compulsion), and is then released from prison. I have three short responses: • Such a defendant would not need to rely on § 1983 because he could pursue intentional tort claims against the offending officers — state or federal. See N.Y. Ct. Cl. Act § 8 (McKinney) (waiving sovereign immunity); Millbrook v.

In 2011, in an appeal from the denial of a motion to correct an illegal sentence under rule 3.800(a), this court held that Mr. Wilson could not be sentenced as a PRR for the burglary of a conveyance, and we reversed the postconviction court’s order. Wilson v. State, 76 So.3d 332, 335 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011). On remand, the trial court entered an order granting Mr. Wilson’s motion to correct an illegal sentence and removed the PRR designation. In his subsequent motion for postconviction relief, Mr. Wilson argued, in part, that the trial court erred in amending his sentence without ordering a new sentencing hearing and permitting Mr. Wilson and his counsel to be present at that hearing. Mr. Wilson is correct. See Gorham v. State, 988 So.2d 152, 154 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) ().

See Comp. ¶ 28. Therefore, because this case was filed in 2005, six years later, ATAA’s claims are barred by the three-year statute of limitations. Contrary to the ATAA’s contention, this case does not involve an alleged continuing violation of constitutional rights that extends the statute of limitations. Chairman Peyser’s 2005 letter to plaintiffs’ attorney reiterating the board’s explanation for the 1999 removal of the contra-genocide websites from the Curriculum Guide was essentially a refusal to remedy the effects of an alleged earlier constitutional violation and, therefore is not independently actionable as part of a serial violation.

Mickey also claims, as Van Hook did, that his counsel did not conduct a sufficiently broad investigation of his childhood. Van Hook, 130 S.Ct. at 18-19. The Court in Van Hook disagreed with the petitioner, calling this a “gross distortion.” Id. at 18. Counsel, the Court recounted, conducted several interviews with four individuals — Van Hook’s mother and father, a caregiving aunt, and a fam sel who investigated family and life history, drug use, and mental state of defendant, “interviewed a number of witnesses suggested by [the defendant],” obtained various records, and compiled a client history conducted an adequate investigation); Babbitt v.

Tully conceded at oral argument that it did request documents from the Trustee but stated that none were produced. Apparently, Tully did not follow up on its request before the hearing. See J.A. at 46. 5 . We note that we are not faced with the issue of cross-collateralization, whereby a lender obtains a security interest in assets of the debtor not only for a post-petition loan, but also as collateral for pre-petition debt. E.g., In re Saybrook Manufacturing Co., 963 F.2d 1490, 1491-92, 1495-96 (11th Cir.1992) ().

The court also noted that a life sentence for Mendez was in line with the sentences received by Mendez’s co-defendants. The district court carefully considered Mendez’s legal and factual arguments and found none persuasive. The court thus determined that it would have imposed the same sentence had it known the guidelines were advisory rather than mandatory. We have held that a properly calculated guidelines sentence is entitled to a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. United States v. Mykytiuk, 415 F.3d 606, 608 (7th Cir.2005). Mendez has provided no reason to rebut that presumption, and the district court has given a very thorough analysis of the section 3553(a) factors in support of that sentence. See United States v. Dean, 414 F.3d 725, 729 (7th Cir.2005) (). Under the law of this circuit, that is enough ### Response: holding that the sentencing judge need only provide an adequate statement of the judges reasoning consistent with section 3553a for thinking that the sentence selected is indeed appropriate for the particular defendant " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the literal wording of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), matters concerning the administration of the estate, because it involves a claim that arose out of the administrative activities of the debtor-in-possession.” Id. at 168 (citing In re L.A.

The Court similarly concluded that the action “falls within the literal wording of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(0) other proceedings affecting the liquidation of the assets of the estate because the claim arose out of the debtor’s efforts to liquidate estate assets.” Id. (citing In re Franklin Computer Corp., supra at 625-26). In making this determination, the First Circuit observed that the majority of courts considering similar post-petition claims have concluded that they are core. Id.

Guardian’s interpretation is patently incorrect. The plain language of the agreement set a maximum length of the guardianship—until August 29, 2014—but provided that it could end sooner by being revoked prior to that end date. Nothing in the agreement contemplates an extension of Guardian’s appointment beyond August 29, 2014. Thus, the trial court properly construed the agreement as a temporary guardianship. The temporary nature of the guardianship rendered Children’s absence from Texas a temporary absence. M.E.V. v. B.D.V., 57 A.3d 126, 133 (Pa. Super. 2012) ().

The State is correct that the Supreme Court has yet to consider the issue of whether and when a trial court, consistent with constitutional protections, may order a defendant to wear a stun belt during his trial. However, the Supreme Court has decided a series of cases over the past forty years that clearly establish the proposition that a trial court may not impose a physical restraint upon a defendant’s person without an individualized finding of dangerousness or risk of escape. See, e.g., Holbrook v. Flynn, 475 U.S. 560, 568-69, 106 S.Ct. 1340, 89 L.Ed.2d 525 (1986) (noting that shackling is “inherently prejudicial” and is only “justified by an essential state interest specific to each trial”); Illinois v.

Shields v. Wash. Bancorp., 1992 WL 88004, at *4 (D.D.C. Apr. 7, 1992); see also Kowal, 16 F.3d at 1279 n. 3 (observing that Rule 9(b) aims to prevent a claim filed as a “pretext for the discovery of unknown wrongs” (citation omitted)); Vicom, Inc. v.

It is no defense to appellant that investors’ funds were used to purchase and exchange commodities. An investor in a commodities account who establishes that he or she relied solely on the investment advice of a promoter satisfies the “solely from the efforts of others” requirement. See Long v. Shultz Cattle Co., 881 F.2d 129, 138 n. 8 (5th Cir.1989); Securities & Exchange Comm’n v. Continental Commodities Corp., 497 F.2d 516, 522 (5th Cir.1974).

One reason for not considering docket entries on appeal is that they are inherently unreliable. See, e.g., Energo, 722 S.W.2d at 151 n. 2. An exception to this rule is that docket entries may be examined to correct clerical errors in judgments or orders or to determine the meaning of words used in a judgment or order. See N-S-W Corp. v.

Rule 6-171(a). Rule 6-171(a) does not require that each order be set forth on its own separate document. Instead, “in orphans’ courts, an order is a paper writing that is filed in the estate file.” Anthony v. Clark, 335 Md. at 594, 644 A.2d 1070. The hearing sheet clearly stated that the motion had been granted, it included the judge’s signature, it was filed in the estate docket, and it was properly docketed by the Register of Wills. The orphans’ court did more than enough to achieve the entry of that interlocutory order. See id. at 592, 644 A.2d 1070 ().

Because the size of NFL teams is capped, the eligibility rules diminish a veteran player’s risk of being replaced by either a drafted rookie or a player who enters the draft and, though not drafted, is then hired as a rookie free agent.

Statements as to facts that have not been proven amount to unsworn testimony, which is not the subject of proper closing argument.” (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Alexander, supra, 254 Conn. 306. We focus on the prosecutor’s rebuttal closing argument in which he stated that during “a large portion of this trial I was kind of burnt out on what was going on. I was having a hard time focusing.” The prosecutor also remarked that he “probably should have asked [A] why she didn’t scream.” The prosecutor’s own physical or mental condition, the questions that he should have asked, and a lawyer’s trial strategy generally are not permissible subjects of closing argument. See Spiess v. Traversa, 172 Conn. 525, 527, 375 A.2d 1007 (1977) (); Archambeault v.

We conclude, as did the court of appeals in Cereceres, that the legislature intended the words “in custody” to mean actual incarceration in a prison or jail and more than simply a restraint on freedom as onerous as jail or prison would be. Cereceres did not break new ground in reaching this conclusion. Arizona court decisions have consistently interpreted the “in custody” requirement of this statute to mean actual or constructive control of prison or jail authorities. See State v. Ritch, 160 Ariz. 495, 497, 774 P.2d 234, 236 (App.1989) (); State v.

Thus, Defendant Esparza’s double jeopardy rights were not violated. {27} With regard to Defendant Booth, the State likewise complied with the requirement that the criminal prosecution and forfeiture of assets be pursued in a single, bifurcated proceeding. Although the forfeiture motion was not included in Defendant Booth’s indictment, it was filed three days later under the same cause number and was directed to the same district judge. We agree with Defendant Booth that the mere act of assignment of a docket number is insufficient, of itself, to demonstrate that the penalties were sought in a single, bifurcated proceeding.

Durham’s petition can be read to make out two di (8th Cir.2002) (dismissing delegation claim brought under § 2241). Thus, if Durham is to make an improper delegation claim, he must do so through a § 2255 petition filed in the Northern District of Florida.

In this case, the License Agreement states that, “[t]he United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all controversies in connection herewith.” License Agreement, Exhibit C to Motion to Dismiss, at 5. The Second Circuit has held that the phrase “in connection with” is synonymous with the phrases “relating to” and “associated with.” See, e.g., Coregis Ins. Co. v.

The court held that the property owner could not recover damages arising from the total project, but instead was entitled to compensation only for damages caused by the use of the land actually taken from him. Id. at 36-38, 308 A.2d 362; see also, Dikert, supra, 319 N.J.Super. at 324, 725 A.2d 119 ().

Although the courts have stopped short of holding the exemption to provide EPA with complete NEPA immunity under every possible circumstance, they have universally relied on legislative intent to adopt a much broader application than the bare language would suggest. See, e.g., Municipality of Anchorage v. United States, 980 F.2d 1320, 1328-29 (9th Cir.1992) (); see also, e.g., Webb v.

See Martinez, 2009-NMCA-087, ¶¶ 25-26, 146 N.M. 735, 215 P.3d 44 (). {19} Finally, Worker argues that the Tribe’s ### Response: holding that the private right of action to which tribes agreed in the compact pertains only to visitors and is inapplicable to workers compensation disputes " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Id. at 630-31, 510 A.2d 1078. Here, the police officers were executing the search warrant in connection with an investigation that appellant may be in violation of weapons law; thus the officers were not acting to benefit appellant. Under these circumstances, the absence of “actual malice” and the absence of a “special relationship” between the officers and appellant do not eliminate the officers’ entitlement to governmental immunity, or entitle appellant to a civil cause of action for money damages. Finally, because we are affirming the circuit court’s motion to dismiss as to the two police officers on the basis that appellant failed to plead facts of actual malice, the circuit court correctly granted appellee Baltimore County’s motion for judgment. DiPino, 354 Md. at 48, 729 A.2d 354 ().

Audio, the auditors did not establish that any of the unreported hours corresponded to this covered work.

Before we were able to consider the merits of this appeal, we had to deal with the jurisdictional bar presented by Local 159 v. Nor-Cal Plumbing, Inc., 185 F.3d 978, 981-84 (9th Cir.1999) ().

As the record reflects, the state appellate court reasonably determined that the trial court had not observed Juror 016’s demeanor but nonetheless accepted this alternate reason for striking Juror 016 on the basis of the prosecutor’s credibility. Because the trial court did not observe Juror 016’s demeanor, the critical question here is whether the appellate court’s determination that the trial court properly credited the prosecutor’s representation was unreasonable. Notably, the basis for the state appellate court’s determination was its conclusion that there was “nothing in the present record” to indicate that the trial court did not conduct a searching inquiry in giving the prosecutor the bene .1998) ().

Likewise, we conclude that Rule 803(6) was not a basis for admitting the Court Report in this case. Much of the information in the report (which, for the most part, spans a 10-year period, with some information extending as far back as 30 years to the mother’s childhood) was not timely recorded. Rule 803(6) states that a business record will be admissible only if it is made “at or near the time” of the events it reports. See United States v. Kim, 595 F.2d 755, 760 (D.C.Cir.1979)().

Williams noted that, in Cronic itself the United States Supreme Court held that a newly-appointed attorney, who was afforded only twenty-five days to prepare for trial in a case which the government spent four and one-half years investigating and preparing, was not per se ineffective. The fact that counsel was a young real estate attorney trying his first criminal case, the severity of the criminal charges, the complexity of the matter, and the inaccessibility of witnesses to counsel did not, individually or in combination, provide a basis for concluding that counsel could not render adequate stewardship.

However, we do note that there was close cooperation between the defense attorneys in this case. Moreover, any defense attorneys who genuinely were surprised by the proof at trial were free to object or move for a severance at that time. Because appellants failed to do either at any time during the trial, plain error review is appropriate. 83 . In such cases, upon the defendant’s motion, the district court should consider the possibility of redacting the attorney’s name from trial exhibits and from the indictment if they indicate that the attorney may have been criminally involved in the charged offenses.

The Robins holding makes sense in burglary cases because a burglary is complete at the moment an actor “enters or remains unlawfully” in a building with the requisite state of mind, and the State is not required to prove any other conduct, attendant circumstances, or results of conduct. When an offense requires the actual commission of an underlying crime, however, the State is required to prove all of the conduct, attendant circumstances, and results of conduct that comprise the underlying crime. Thus, as the emphasized language above indicates, the Robins holding is limited to cases involving offenses, such as burglary, that require only an intent to commit, L.Ed.2d 996 (1981); see also State v.

In limited circumstances, courts have recognized that an actor may have a duty to warn third parties of the dangerous propensities of another when the actor has a special relationship with the dangerous person and the person threatened is a specific, foreseeable, and identifiable victim of the dangerous person’s threats.

Mohammed changed the legal landscape in two ways. First, it characterized the harm of already-performed FGM as permanent and continuing persecution. Id. at 800.

Perry’s use of his property thus ostensibly comports with the stated purpose of the homestead laws. Neither the Texas Property Code, nor the Texas Constitution, bar a rural resident from operating a business, per se, on the property on which he resides. Because the “business” or “calling” of rural residents has traditionally been agricultural, the Texas Supreme Court has not yet been presented with the opportunity to pass upon a case that involves (a) a rural resident, who claims (b) rural property, that is (c) on the same tract as his residence and (d) is used for non-agricultural business purposes, as part of his homestead.

In the absence of a specific statutory provision, the authority to transfer title to real property for security may not be implied from a general statute authorizing a court to require security for alimony payments. An example of a jurisdiction that does permit such a transfer is North Carolina. Its relevant statutory provision states, ""If the court requires the transfer of real or personal property or an interest therein as part of an order for alimony ... or for the securing thereof, the court may also enter an order which shall transfer title....” N.C.Gen.Stat. § 50-16.7(c) (1990); see Gilbert v.

Known then as the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (“EHA”), and today named the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA, the law “confers upon disabled students an enforceable substantive right to public education in participating States, and conditions federal financial assistance upon a State’s compliance with the substantive and procedural goals of the Act.” Honig v.

The trial was ultimately continued until after July 1, 1994, although obviously not for the purpose of bringing West’s proceeding within the purview of the statute. 3 . Moreover, West waived his ex post facto claims in the very act of requesting that the amendment be applied to him, as well as the act of submitting several jury instructions to the court which invited the jury to return a sentence of life without parole, since a defendant cannot ordinarily appeal any error that he introduced.

We hold that the district court abused her discretion in enjoining Synergy from presenting the letter of credit. Acceleration Clause The district court also temporarily enjoined Synergy from “directly or indirectly attempting to declare [Lone Star] to be in default of its payment obligations under the ... lease.” Lone Star argues that the district court did not abuse her discretion in so enjoining Synergy because Lone Star established a probable right of recovery on its allegation that the lease’s acceleration clause is an unenforceable penalty. See Walling, 863 S.W.2d at 58 (citing Sun Oil Co. v. Whitaker, 424 S.W.2d 216, 218 (Tex.1968)) (); Universal Health Servs., Inc. v.

See id. at 690-91. In response to the difficulties of attempting to apply contract rules to products liability cases in the absence of a contract, courts moved away from the implied warranty theory of recovery and adopted a strict liability in tort theory. A tort theory based on the dangerousness of conduct was considered more appropriate and more adaptable than a contract theory because the policy reasons courts were supplying to justify the imposition of strict lability go far beyond any conventional contract notions. See id. at 692. The California Supreme Court led the way with its decision in Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc., 59 Cal.2d 57, 27 Cal.Rptr. 697, 377 P.2d 897, 900 (1963)(), and the American Law Institute followed with ### Response: holding a manufacturer strictly liable in tort for injury to plaintiff caused by defective power tool " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Prior versions of the children’s code statutorily established the very low standard of “reasonable grounds to believe” that the enumerated crime was com mitted and required simple consideration of whether the child was amenable to treatment as a juvenile. See State v. Doe, 103 N.M. 233, 238^0, 704 P.2d 1109, 1114-16 (Ct.App. 1985). Under the current statute, the trial court must make a specific finding that the child is not amenable. Whatever the current standard of proof is for the trial court to make this specific finding, whether it is preponderance of the evidence as advocated by the State or something higher, we review the trial court’s decision for substantial evidence, see In re Ernesto M., Jr., 1996-NMCA-039, ¶ 15, 121 N.M. 562, 915 P.2d 318, or abuse of discretion 1111 (1983) (); In re Ernesto M., Jr., 121 N.M. 562, 915 P.2d ### Response: holding statute which required consideration rather than a finding of amenability was constitutional " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: U.S. at 249, 106 S.Ct. 2505.

With these principles in mind, the court turns to an analysis of the pending motions for summary judgment. III. APPLICABLE LAW AND DISCUSSION The court will first determine whether the undisputed facts of this case establish that CBC has violated the players’ claimed right of publicity. Only if that right is violated need the court consider whether under the facts of this case federal copyright law preempts the right of publicity and/or whether the First Amendment trumps the right of publicity.

Some of the alternatives may lead to unpleasant consequences. For example, to choose to go to trial may result in greater punishment.... Section 3E1.1 may add to the dilemmas facing criminal defendants, but no good reason exists to believe that 3E1.1 was intended to punish anyone for exercising rights.

HHRG asserts that the Claim and the instant complaint are two totally separate and distinct legal actions with different losses, not joined or linked as part of the Settlement Agreement. HHRG argues that there is no possibility for double recovery because the Underwriters never paid HHRG for its Buyer Damages. HHRG further asserts that, in any event, it retains the right to bring the action for all damages over $18,330,477 as well as the deductible amount (approximately $800,000).

The regulations promulgated under these statutes establish a fiduciary relationship between the United States and the Indians. See Mitchell II, 463 U.S. at 224-26, 103 S.Ct. at 2971-73. Thus, the statutes and regulations “can fairly be interpreted as mandating compensation by the Federal Government for damages sustained” for breach of fiduciary duty.

See Mansell, 490 U.S. at 587, 109 S.Ct. 2023. To preempt state family law, Congress must show its intent by “direct enactment.” See Mansell, 490 U.S. at 587, 109 S.Ct. 2023. The United States Supreme Court held that section 1408 preempted state law and noted that the law is both precise and limited. See Mansell, 490 U.S. at 588, 109 S.Ct. 2023. Thus, the Act grants state courts only limited authority to allocate military retirement benefits. See Mansell, 490 U.S. at 588, 109 S.Ct. 2023; see also Hisquierdo v.

While it is possible that Defendant could point to some portion of a CBA in arguing that it acted reasonably, or to establish that it provided some type of warning as to certain occupational hazards, whether these statements provide a defense (in that they show Defendant acted reasonably, or that Defendant did not breach its duty of care) is a question of fact for the jury.

Accordingly, the Court of Appeals correctly held that the trial court properly denied defendant’s motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence. For the same reasons, the Court of Appeals correctly held that the trial court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant’s motion to set aside the verdict on the basis of insufficient evidence.

RM Kids further contends that the trial court erred in granting Old Republic’s motion for directed verdict as to RM Kids’s claim for prejudgment interest under OCGA § 7-4-15, arguing that whether or not damages were liquidated was an issue for the jury. Again, we disagree. OCGA § 7-4-15 provides, in relevant part: “All liquidated demands, where by agreement or otherwise the sum to be paid is fixed or certain, bear interest from the time the party shall become liable and bound to pay them; if payable on demand, they shall bear interest from the time of the demand.” Under this Code section, “prejudgment interest — which flows automatically from a liquidated demand — is to be awarded upon a judgment for a liquidated amount.” But importantly, a demand is liquid (184 SE 858) (1936) ().

The executrix contends that the will escapes the anti-alienation requirement under Illinois law, falling within the exception, because the second paragraph of the will bequeaths all property to the surviving spouse “absolutely.” This language, according to the surviving spouse, negates any restriction on the use of personal property. This overlooks the third sentence of the will which provides that at the death of the survivor all personal and real property is to go to the Grimeses’ four children, and the Illinois courts have refused to construe the term “absolute” as defeating the distribution plan of the bequest to the children.

We look at the reporter’s purpose at the time the reports were made, not after subsequent events have transpired. See generally Wolcott v. Champion Intern. Corp., 691 F.Supp. 1052, 1059 (W.D.Mich.1987) (). In part, the rationale for looking at the ### Response: holding that the good faith requirement of the whistleblower statute was not met where the purpose of the employee at the time of the making of reports was not to protect the public but to protect the jobs of himself and his coworkers " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the granting of complete relief in the determination of a counterclaim or cross-claim.” O.C.G.A. § 9-11-13(h). Hen-shell argues that he is entitled to invoke res judicata as an indispensable party because: (1) the Akins’ civil conspiracy claim was a compulsory counterclaim in the prior action between PEC and PAFEC; (2) as an alleged co-conspirator, Henshell became an indispensable party to the adjudication of the civil conspiracy claim; (3) once Hen-shell became an indispensable party, PEC was required to assert its fiduciary duty claims against him as compulsory counterclaims against an adverse party; and (4) PEC’s failure to implead Henshell and assert the fiduciary duty claims in the prior action bars the Akins from now asserting these causes of action. See Usher, 278 S.E.2d at 73 (). In light of our determination that the Akins' ### Response: holding that res judicata barred conspiracy claim against defendant even though defendant had not been a party to the prior action because the civil conspiracy claim should have been adjudicated in a prior action and defendant as an alleged participant in the conspiracy would have been indispensable party to that adjudication " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as may be convenient for such counsel; counsel to submit the agenda(s) three calendar days before said conference.

Therefore, while the plaintiff may not necessarily come forward affirmatively with proof that the condition is unchanged, the defendant cannot, in good faith, assert that there is anything amiss. (Footnote omitted.) Given the ad hoc applicability of “substantial change,” it is not surprising that different views have emerged as to the proper distribution of the burden of proof on the issue. Some courts require the plaintiff to affirmatively prove the absence of any substantial change. See Waggoner v. Mercedes Benz of N. Am., Inc., 879 S.W.2d 692, 695-96 (Mo.Ct.App.1994) (); Jasinski v.

On appeal, he does not challenge those convictions or the sentences he received for those convictions. 2 . As further discussed below in section 111(A) of this opinion, the phrase ""crack cocaine” and its equivalent variant ""crack” are commonly used terms for ""cocaine base.” See, e.g., United States v. Kelly, 519 F.3d 355, 363 (7th Cir.2008) (noting that ""crack cocaine” is a “form of cocaine base” and that "" '[cjrack’ is a street term” for crack cocaine). We use the terms ""crack cocaine” and ""crack” interchangeably in this opinion. 3 . Appellant does not claim, nor can he, that he was entitled to a continuance due to any surprise caused by the amendment. See Willis v.

This assumption is wrong as a matter of law. It must be remembered that the Plaintiffs prevailed upon their state-law restraint of trade claim and that such acts, and contracts which are the product of such acts, are “against public policy and illegal.” Okla. Stat. Ann. tit. 79, § 203(A); First Nat’l Pictures v. Pappe, 170 Okla. 279, 39 P.2d 526, 530 (1934) (“[I]f [a] contract was made in violation of the anti-trust laws, it was an illegal and unenforceable contract”); see also United States v.

See Smith, 887 F.Supp.2d at 339. Furthermore, if we were to interpret the FDCPA venue provision as Fox and Adkins do, it would be impossible for a debt collector to enforce a prior judgment through trustee process in Massachusetts unless the judgment debtor happened to reside or to have signed the underlying contract in the same county in which the trustee had a usual place of business. See Smith, 887 F.Supp.2d at 340. We do not read the FDCPA as mandating such a strange result.

Mentz, 840 F.2d 315, 331 (6th Cir.1988) (concluding that delay caused by defendant’s plea vacillation stopped speedy trial clock because otherwise defendant “would have successfully worked both sides of the street lulling the court and prosecution into a false sense of security only to turn around later and use the ... leisurely pace of the case as grounds for dismissal”); United States v.

Even assuming that this “invitation” was non-verbal, Cooper gave officers the type of “implied consent” that we have found sufficiently voluntary in similar circumstances. See Ramirez-Chilel, 289 F.3d at 751-52 (finding a defendant’s “yielding the right-of-way” to officers at the front door to be voluntary consent to enter where four officers were present and no guns were drawn). In contrast to the purported consent at issue in Bautista, Cooper’s consent was not simply the product of compliance with police demands. See Bautista, 362 F.3d at 591-92 (); see also Tobin, 923 F.2d at 1512 (explaining ### Response: holding that opening the door in response to a police demand and then failing to object when officers entered was not voluntary consent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Petitioner Kesar Singh, a native of India, petitions for review from an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals affirming, without opinion, the order of an immigration judge (IJ) denying his applications for asylum, withholding of deportation, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. 1. We assume but need not decide that the IJ’s adverse credibility finding was not supported by substantial evidence. The IJ found, in the alternative, that even if Petitioner were credible, he could relocate safely in the Gujarat province of India. See Melkonian v. Ashcroft, 320 F.3d 1061, 1069 (9th Cir.2003) (); 8 C.F.R. § 208.13(b)(1)(i)(B).

Indeed, State v. Gallup, 500 N.W.2d 437 (Iowa 1993), upon whose reasoning the Government relies, provides no support for the Government’s construction of the drug tax stamp law. There, the defendant received concurrent sentences arising out of his conviction for two crimes: (1) delivery of a controlled substance, and (2) distribution of a taxable substance without a drug tax stamp. Id. at 439. He appealed, arguing that imposition of both sentences violated the Fifth Amendment’s Double Jeopardy Clause. The Iowa Supreme Court agreed that the two convictions involved the same offense, because, in that ease, “[t]he drug tax stamp offense cannot be committed without committing the delivery offense.” Id. at 442; see also State v. Stage, 596 t 717 (). Because we cannot agree with the Government’s ### Response: holding that possession of the specified quantity of a controlled substance is a lesser included offense of failing to affix a drug tax stamp " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: without the burden of invidiously discriminatory disqualifications”); Quinn v.

Additionally, Molina-Crespo alleges that the wealth-based classification is the result of disparate impact. Under the Supreme Court’s disparate impact jurisprudence, however, an individual claiming discrimination based on disparate impact must also show evidence of a discriminatory animus by Congress when it passed the statute. See Washington v. Davis, 426 U.S. 229, 242, 96 S.Ct. 2040, 48 L.Ed.2d 597 (1976); Mobile v. Bolden, 446 U.S. 55, 67, 100 S.Ct. 1490, 64 L.Ed.2d 47 (1980) ().

It is especially important to address and anticipate this potential for abuse when pursuing equality and fairness in criminal trials. “[T]he duties of a prosecutor to administer justice fairly, and particularly concerning requested or obviously exculpatory evidence, go beyond winning convictions.” Tucceri, 589 N.E.2d at 1220. The State has a unique role in the criminal justice process. Although it is indeed the prosecutor of all criminal charges, the State, should not just be in the business of obtaining guilty verdicts. See, e.g., Attorney Grievance Comm’n of Maryland v. Gansler, 377 Md. 656, 835 A.2d 548 (2003) (); Walker v.

In Travis Central Appraisal District v. Signature Flight Support Corp., the Court of Appeals of Texas recognized that the ownership interest at issue in that case was “an ownership interest in a leasehold. Because the City [of Austin] own[ed] the improvements but lease[ed] them to appellees, it is perfectly correct to refer to appellees’ ownership interests in the leased facilities and allow them the right to ‘sell’ that leasehold interest.” 140 S.W.3d 833, 841 (Tex.App.2004); see also Panola County Appraisal Dist. v.

Rather, Noferi contends that “a violation occurs only when a person intercepts or receives or assists in intercepting, not when a person purchases or possesses.” Mem. of Law in Supp. of Summ. J. [Doc. # 34] at 3. Section 553(a)(1) provides that “[n]o person shall intercept or receive or assist in intercepting or receiving any communication services offered over a cable system, unless specifically authorized to do so by a cable operator or as may otherwise be specifically authorized by law.” Section 522 of Title 47 defines specific terms used within section 553(a)(1).

As such, defendant argues, “T Square did not submit a timely version of its proposal through a delivery method authorized in the solicitation—rendering its proposal nonresponsive.” EOF No. 20 at 25 (citing AR at 100, 139-140). Defendant maintains that, absent compliance with the solicitation, the proposal cannot be considered for award. In support of its position, defendant cites two cases in which the court dismissed post-award protests for lack of standing when the disappointed bidder submitted a proposal that did not comply with the solicitation. See A & D Fire Protection, Inc. v. United States, 72 Fed.Cl. 126, 139 (2006) (); Bannum, Inc. v.

Leonard and Lenard Brown, who at that time were still in their early teens, allegedly helped Gibson pack cocaine, cook it into crack, and sell cocaine and heroin on the street along with other children. The defense raised a 404(b) objection at trial. This evidence of Gibson’s drug sales before any of the charged conduct in the indictment is “extrinsic” evidence whose admission is regulated by Rule 404(b). Under that Rule, this evidence was probative of Gibson’s intent on the Count 17 charge of knowingly maintaining a place for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing, and using drugs. United States v. Cardenas, 895 F.2d 1338, 1342 (11th Cir.1990) () (internal quotation marks and citations ### Response: holding that when a defendant charged with conspiracy enters a not guilty plea he makes intent a material issue in the case and imposes a substantial burden on the government thus the government may introduce extrinsic offenses which qualify under 404b to prove defendants state of mind unless defendant takes affirmative steps to remove the issue of intent from the case " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: constitutionally protected speech;” and (3) “a causal relationship exists between [the plaintiffs] speech and the defendant’s retaliatory action.” See, e.g., Suarez Corp., Indus. v. McGraw, 202 F.3d 676, 686 (4th Cir. 2000). Examining these considerations, the Supreme Court repeatedly has struck down as violative of the First Amendment government actions that burden or penalize an individual or group for engaging in political speech. See, e.g., Rutan v. Republican Party of Ill., 497 U.S. 62, 65, 110 S.Ct. 2729, 111 L.Ed.2d 52 (1990) (concluding that First Amendment prohibits government employers from making “promotion, transfer, recall, and hiring decisions involving low-level public employees ... based on party affiliation and support”); Elrod, 427 U.S. at 373, 96 S.Ct. 2673 ().

This Court notes it is clear that Ford’s engines and transmissions were not eligible for “PD” status unless Ford paid duties on the merchandise before the merchandise entered the FTSZ and specifically elected “PD” status for the entries. (See Pl.’s Br. at 8; supra n. 2.) This Court also notes while Ford may have intended to elect “PD” status and to pay the duties as the engines and transmissions were entered into the FTSZ, as Ford itself admits, “for some inexplicable reason,” Ford failed to do so. (Pl.’s Br. at 27.) This Court does not find Ford was mistaken as to the ultimate nature of the merchandise, and so cannot find Ford made a mistake of fact in this case on that basis.

Lack of Supporting Evidence The Forest Service states that the purpose of Phase 1 is to “protect[ ] local communities from catastrophic wüdfíres and extended exposure to smoke” by “re-ducting] fuels.” (See AR 246.) According to the Forest Service, the Phase 1 project wül reduce the intensity of future wüdfíres by removing the “fuels” that help to spread the fires. Plaintiffs assert that the EIS violates NEPA by faffing to disclose the lack of scientific evidence supporting the Forest Service’s belief that the Phase 1 logging project wül reduce the intensity of future wüdfíres and by faffing to address reports that contradict the Forest Service’s belief. See Seattle Audubon Society v. Lyons, 871 F.Supp. 1291, 1318 (W.D.Wash.1994) ().

Scary’s delay in paying the filing fee was not due to mere “excusable neglect.” He did not delay because he was too busy or preoccupied with other matters, or even because there was a miscommunieation as to the due date. Rather, he failed to pay the fee in a timely manner because of the misperception — created by the court — that he had done everything that was required of him. In Scary’s mind, he had been completely diligent at all times, and he had not neglected his claim at all. Cf. Irwin, 498 U.S. at 96, 111 S.Ct. 453 (denying equitable tolling where the complaint was filed 14 days late because the plaintiffs attorney was out of the country); New Castle County v. Halliburton NUS Corp., 111 F.3d 1116, 1126 (1997) ().

If the statute is intended to prevent the appearance of wrongdoing, as the Supreme Court has repeatedly declared, it is hard to see why the public would regard the former as worse than the latter. This court has certainly assumed that § 209(a) prohibits lump-sum payments, see United States v. Muntain, 610 F.2d 964, 969 (D.C.Cir.1979) (declaring that “there can be no dispute that defendant ... received a contribution from a source outside the Government when he accepted [a one-time payment of $800] for the Ireland trip”), as has the Seventh Circuit, see United States v. Oberhardt, 887 F.2d 790, 793-94 (7th Cir.1989) ().

Subsequent statements by Suttles and Hayward put the estimate at “somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000” or at a “guesstimate” of 5,000, while the second document from April 27 clearly shows that BP’s best estimate was actually over 5,000 and as high as 14,000 barrels per day. The documents support Plaintiffs’ contention that BP was lowballing the estimate numbers in an attempt to keep stock prices from falling. Whether the facts will actually establish that BP intentionally gave the public lower estimates is an issue for trial. See, e.g., Joffee v.

Similarly, courts examining § 506(b), which allows interest on secured claims, in conjunction with Section 502, have concluded that it is necessary to examine 11 U.S.C. §§ 101(5) and 502(b) to determine whether a claim may be allowable as an unsecured claim, eventually finding the term ""claim” is broad enough to encompass an unliquidated, contingent right to payment even though the triggering contingency does not occur until after the filing of the petition (Woburn Assoc. v.

The statutory privilege is not a legal defense to a discovery dispute, but the rationale of the privilege provides an important perspective in gaining a full understanding of the privacy interest at stake. The competing fundamental interest at stake in this case is derived from constitutional protections provided to an accused to confront witnesses in a criminal trial and to be given a fair trial. A defendant in a criminal case not only has a right to confront witnesses with effective cross-examination, but due process and the right to a fair trial also demand an accused be given a full and fair opportunity to present a claim of self-defense. See Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 315, 94 S.Ct. 1105, 1110, 39 L.Ed.2d 347, 353 (1974) (); see also Chambers v.

This burden is minor and no greater than the filing of a tax return required of all taxpayers. Therefore, Taylor’s Plan is not res judicata as to the amount of his liability on the Marshall Mill § 6672 penalty, and the IRS is not barred from proceeding against him to collect that penalty. Taylor’s reliance upon the fact that the IRS filed a proof of claim for income taxes as support for his claim that res judicata should apply is misplaced. The § 6672 penalty is a completely separate debt and a separate type of tax which is not determined by the consideration of an income tax proof of claim. Cf. Grynberg, 986 F.2d at 371-72 ().

It is clear that Egilman violated the protective order by failing to inform Eli Lilly of the second subpoena, which required an earlier production date. See In re Zyprexa Injunction, 474 F.Supp.2d at 395. Egilman would also appear to have contravened CMO-3 by failing to provide Eli Lilly with a reasonable opportunity to object to production with respect to the first subpoena. 3 . As he testified, Gottstein understood Egilman's reluctance to send him a copy of the order as an effort to avoid his later being charged with knowledge of its contents. Gottstein did not try to convince Egilman to provide him with a copy of CMO-3. 4 . See, e.g., U.S. Catholic Conference v.

In particular, he alleged that the officers failed to announce that they were there to execute a warrant and that they did not wait for a reply to their knocks before forcibly entering his residence. Based upon these allegations, Reynoso met his initial burden of making a showing that his Fourth Amendment rights were violated by the officers’ alleged failure to properly announce their purpose and to wait a reasonable length of time before entering under color of warrant. Thus, at the suppression hearing, the State had the burden to show that the officers’ actions were reasonable. See Holmes, 175 F.Supp.2d at 73-76; of. Richards v.

The court ruled a gift regularly received from a dependable party may be considered in determining a parent’s child support obligation. Barnier v. Wells, 476 N.W.2d 795 (Minn.Ct.App.1991). An opposing view is found in other jurisdictions. There, the courts have refused to consider gifts as income to a parent for purposes of calculating child support obligations. The rationale for refusing to include gifts for this purpose is that the donors have no legal obligation to continue with the practice of making gifts. See In Re Marriage of Harmon, 210 Ill.App.3d 92, 154 Ill.Dec. 727, 568 N.E.2d 948 (1991); True v. True, 615 A.2d 252 (Me.1992); Ikard v. Ikard, 819 S.W.2d 644 (Tex.Ct.App.1991) ().

Perhaps with respect to other types of drug offenses — about which we express no opinion — but the record shows us nothing about this jail (or any other jail’s) experience with those arrested on § 11550(a) charges. We do not disagree that in some cases, the charge itself may give rise to reasonable suspicion; indeed, we so held in Thompson, where the felony charged was grand theft auto and the offense was “sufficiently associated with violence to justify a visual strip search.” 885 F.2d at 1447. We have also been careful to distinguish charges that involve drugs and contraband as well as violence when invalidating blanket strip search policies applied in other contexts.

We do not find that answer compelling. There is no impediment to engaging in further study, and further study may advance the goals of the CWA. Thus, EPA could have well found that onshore treatment was “available.” Indeed, EPA’s failure to consider onshore treatment is inconsistent with the CWA’s mandate that TBELs be technology-forcing.

For example, upon request, an administrator must provide a participant with a copy of the plan description, the latest annual report, any terminal report, the bargaining agreement, or trust agreement. See 29 U.S.C. § 1024(b)(4). These documents all provide participants with direct information about the plan and its benefits. The requested mailing list, in contrast, provides no information about the plan or its benefits. Cf. Lee v. Dayton Power and Light Co., 604 F.Supp. 987, 1002 (S.D.Ohio 1985) ().

The benefit of five years does not justify upholding the plea agreement mandating a forty-year sentence to be served consecutive to the thirty-year rape sentence when it is clear that the sentences could not have been consecutive. The result is that Badger is forced to serve a total sentence of seventy years as opposed to forty years (thirty for the rape plus the ten that would remain on the murder). The fact that he might have also faced five years for the probation revocation had he not pled guilty does not persuade us that a manifest injustice has not occurred here. We reluctantly conclude that the erroneous sentence constitutes fundamental error. See Rhodes v. State, 698 N.E.2d 304, 307 (Ind.1998) (); Jennings v.

Defendant thus had the obligation to exercise reasonable care to ensure that the fire, or any potential fire created by the dangerous condition, did not spread to the building. There was evidence here that the mulch was up • against the building’s siding and next to the gas meter. Inspector DiFranco testified that the proximity to the gas line caused the fire to spread more quickly. A reasonable jury could have found, based on this evidence and their common knowledge, that it was more likely than not that the proximity of the mulch to the building, which included the gas line, was a cause of the fire spreading and ultimately engulfing the entire building.

But we are dealing here with gradations. On one end of the scale, a nuisance can be established by a physical fact that is beyond dispute. If the nuisance consists of hazardous chemicals in the ground, the nuisance begins when the landowner knows or should have known that the chemicals were there. See Tenn. Gas Transmission Co. v.

Here, Schonberg has not styled his suit as one against a government official, but rather as one against the United States.

Appellee further argued that the doctrine of “after-acquired title” barred Appellant from regaining his interest in the property and entitled Appellee to the interest she claimed. The trial court issued an Order of Subsequent Summary Administration and distributed the property held by the estate. Appellee received a one-half interest, and Appellant’s sister received the other one-half interest. As to Appellant, the court found that he would take nothing “because he conveyed away all of his interest therein to [the father and Appellee] by his QuitClaim Deed executed” in 1990. Analysis The court’s ruling on this issue was an application of uncontested facts to the law; thus, our review is de novo. See Aills v. Boemi, 29 So.3d 1105, 1108 (Fla.2010) ().

Indeed, it is not clear that the state has yet received full reimbursement for its Medicaid payments, in which case Harris’s claim would relate only to some future receipt of funds by the state. 7 . We assume, without deciding, that a portion of the claims settled in the Master Settlement Agreement were for Medicaid claims, because the settlement agreement explicitly included health-related claims and Colorado’s complaint sought damages that included amounts for ""increased Medicaid payments. ” But see Watson, 261 F.3d at 443-45 ### Response: holding that texas did not settle individual medicaid claims " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: this argument because we can affirm on an alternative ground. 5 . Sanchez argues that this approach has been adopted in other jurisdictions and cites cases in support of his proposition. See Alam v. State, 776 P.2d 345, 348-49 (Alaska Ct.App.1989); State v.

But only Adams seems to explicitly allocate the merger issue to the jury rather than the trial court. 205 N.W.2d at 424. The other cases Sanchez cites simply underscore the idea that, if not construed narrowly, some kidnapping statutes pose a real risk of doubly punishing a defendant who has been charged with both kidnapping and another offense involving some form of detention in its commission.

Mr. Webber argues that, when Wheat was decided, a defendant was required to file a Form 40 while his or her direct appeal was pending, whereas now a defendant is required to file a Form 40 after the mandate issues from , the direct appeal. Accordingly, in his view, .under current Rule 29.15, a defendant cannot be considered to have waived claims in a direct appeal that were not raised in a Form 40, because the defend ant cannot even pursue a Rule 29.15 action until the direct appeal is complete. In Wheat, the defendant conceded that he failed to file a motion to vacate in the trial court under Rule 29.15, and he recognized “the nominal effect of this failure.” Wheat, 775 S.W.2d at 157.

Hughes, 948 F.2d at 920. Thus, the threshold question we must resolve is whether appellants’ actions in voting to deny appellees’ development plan were functionally legislative. For the reasons that follow, we conclude they were not. We note initially that the mere fact that the complained-of action occurred by way of a vote does not automatically mean the action is legislative. A number of federal appellate courts have recognized that “[a]l-though a local legislator may vote on an issue, [the act of voting] alone does not necessarily determine that he or she was acting in a legislative capacity.” Brown, 970 F.2d at 437; Crymes v. DeKalb County, Ga., 923 F.2d 1482, 1485 (11th Cir.1991); see also Roberson v. Mullins, 29 F.3d 132, 134 n. 3 (4th Cir.1994) ().

It was within the trial judge’s discretion to formulate phrasing that explained to defendant the possibilities of deportation or denial of U.S. citizenship.

Indeed, he exceeded the statutory minimum by further informing defendant of the possibility of exclusion from the country. This case is therefore unlike those in other states in which trial courts have erred by not sufficiently specifying the possible immigration consequence as required by law. See State v.

(quoting Rustici, 673 S.W.2d at 768), we find the public duty doctrine does not render section 537.600 meaningless, as argued by Appellant. In the next prong of her point relied on, Appellant asserts the public duty doctrine is an affirmative defense and, in the instant matter, has no bearing on whether a petition states a cause of action. We again disagree. The public duty doctrine is not an affirmative defense, but rather serves “to delineate the legal duty which the defendant official owes to the plaintiff.” Scher v. Purkett, 847 S.W.2d 76, 78 (Mo.App.1992). Here, Appellant bore the burden of pleading facts in her petition which were sufficient to support the existence of a legal duty. Claxton v.

The Supreme Court caution[ed] against using a declaratory judgment action to challenge or review administrative actions if such an approach would foreclose any necessary fact-finding by the administrative entity, discourage reliance on any special expertise that may exist at the administrative level, disregard an exclusive statutory scheme for the review of administrative decisions, or circumvent procedural or substantive limitations that would otherwise limit review through means other than a declaratory judgment action.

Crawford’s complaint asserted the following racially discriminatory actions: his October 2011 annual performance rating of “zero,” his five-day suspension finalized' in December 2011, and his denial of promotion in November 2011. The complaint also raised the eight incidents identified in Toledo’s email. On the Department’s motion, the district court first dismissed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) the eight claims identified in Toledo’s email for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. See Crawford v. Johnson, No. 14-cv-00436-KBJ (D.D.C. Feb. 9, 2015), J.A. 41-42. Crawford does not challenge the dismissal of those claims here.

(See Doc. 18, pp. 7-8 of 16.)

(See Doc. 19, pp. 11-12 of 17.) The majority of courts that have reviewed extensions of FMLA leave beyond twelve weeks have interpreted the twelve-week leave period strictly and found that employees are not entitled to the protections of the FMLA after the statutory leave has expired, even where the employee has received permission to extend their leave from the employer. See, e.g., Conoshenti v. Pub. Serv. Elec. & Gas Co., 364 F.3d 135, 148 (3d Cir. 2004) (); Hofferica v. St. Mary Med.

She argues that her negligent retention claim failed based solely on the failure to establish an underlying tort.

Under Georgia law, “a defendant employer has a duty to exercise ordinary care not to hire or retain an employee the employer knew or should have known posed a risk of harm to others where it is reasonably foreseeable from the employee’s ‘tendencies’ or propensities that the employee could cause the type of harm sustained by the plaintiff.” Munroe v.

On September 3, 2015, the chancellor denied the Berlins’ motion without specifically addressing the issue of attorneys’ fees. ¶ 33. The Berlins do not dispute that a prevailing party in an action to enforce the covenants is entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees, and section 14.01 makes clear that a prevailing party is entitled to such an award. See Journeay v. Berry, 953 So.2d 1145, 1162-63 (¶¶ 63-66) (Miss. Ct. App. 2007) ().

Mootz, III, New Appleman on Insurance Law Library Edition 2-23 (2011) (stating “[b]rokers are typically insurers’ agents with respect to issuing policies, issuing certificates of insurance, collecting premiums and the like”). Other cases have held that, as a result, a broker’s role as agent of the insured normally ends upon procurement of the insurance. See, e.g., Hecker, 891 S.W.2d at 816 (); Morrow v.

Third, the majority notes that Pinho obtained a vacatur of his conviction before the agency had to take action in his case, whereas Rumierz obtained a vacatur after a final order of removal was reached in his case.

The record supports the Commonwealth’s contention in this regard.

The Injunction applies to all persons not related to the children by blood or adoption and effectively would prevent William from separating from any of the children during his periods of possession without Lacey’s permission. The second item of the Injunction, regarding pick up and return of the children for periods of possession, seems unnecessary in light of the first item of the Injunction, regarding care by any unrelated person. In any event, the Injunction is broader than the Restriction and is not justified by the evidence in the record, which does not show that such an onerous ban is in the best interest of the children. We conclude that the trial court abused its discretion by issuing the Injunction. See Moreno, 368 S.W.3d at 739-40 ().

Based on this information, trial counsel searched the college’s records, but was unable to find Patricia. But given Howard’s lack of sufficient information regarding this alleged witness’s full name, her whereabouts, or how to find her, trial counsel’s failure to locate her certainly (722 SE2d 705) (2012) (punctuation omitted). 39 Id. 40 See id. ### Response: holding that defendant failed to show that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by not objecting to the states leading questions when there was no evidence that such failure was not based on trial strategy " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: See Rhind, 289 F.3d at 695.

Id. (citing United States v. Young, 115 F.3d 834 (11th Cir.1997)). We held, in interpreting analogous guideline provisions, that, in circumstances where it was reasonable to assume that the defendant possessed a firearm to prevent the theft of property related to the underlying offense, mere possession of a firearm could be enough to satisfy the “in connection with” requirement.

Beyond the First Amendment analysis, there exists a common law right of access to judicial proceedings and docu ments that does not rise to a constitutional dimension and is left to the sound discretion of the trial court. Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597-99, 98 S.Ct. 1306, 55 L.Ed.2d 570 (1978). Distinguishing between access to judicial proceedings and access to judicial documents, the Sixth Circuit has addressed whether there is a First Amendment right to inspect and copy judicial documents, or only a common law right of access.

Based on the presumption, application of the doctrine turns on the answer to the query: “Is there good reason to believe that Congress did not want the equitable tolling doctrine to apply?” (Emphasis in original.) United States v. Brockamp, 519 U.S. 347, 350 (1997) (citing Irwin, 498 U.S. 89). Congress is presumed to draft limitations periods in light of this presumption (Young v. United States, 535 U.S. 43, 49-50 (2002)), which operates in suits against private parties, as well as in suits against the federal government {Irwin, 498 U.S. at 95-96). Equitable tolling is not applied exclusively to tradi tional limitation periods for filing suit. The doctrine has also been applied to other statutory and administrative deadlines.

Even though the letter may have been technically true—a finding that I do not necessarily endorse—it may still constitute a false representation given the context. That is a question that should be resolved by the trier of fact after hearing the evidence. 1 . See Cross v.

B. Next, we reject Banclnsure’s argument that the parties successfully drafted around the concurrent-causation doctrine in the Bond. Banclnsure argues that the language in Bond exclusions 2(bb)(4) and 2(bb)(12) contracted around the concurrent-causation doctrine because those exclusions also apply to “indirect” causation. Parties may include “anti-concurrent causation” language in contracts to prevent the application of the concurrent-causation doctrine; however, in those cases where courts have found the contract contains an anti-concurrent causation clause, the language used is clear and specific. See Ken Johnson Props., LLC v. Harleysville Worcester Summary Ins. Co., No. 12-1582, 2013 WL 5487444, at *12 (D.Minn. Sept. 30, 2013) (). As a matter of law, the Bond’s reference to ### Response: recognizing language that an exclusion applies regardless of any other cause or event that contributes concurrently or in any sequence to the loss constitutes an adequate anticoncurrent causation provision and evidences the parties intent to contract around the concurrent causation doctrine " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: here, it is universally recognized that such agreements are typically interpreted using ordinary contract principles.

Other circuits have either eviscerated or eliminated the potency of a multiple conspiracy defense to a RICO conspiracy indictment. See United States v. Carrozza, 4 F.3d 70, 79 (1st Cir.1993) (stating that a series of agreements that under pre-RICO law would constitute multiple conspiracies could under RICO be tried as a single enterprise conspiracy if the defendants have agreed to commit a substantive RICO offense); United States v.

United States, 225 Ct.Cl. 593, 593 (1980) (emphasis added). In disputes concerning military decisions, the plaintiff must “overcome the strong, but re-buttable, presumption that administrators of the military, like other public officers, discharge them duties correctly, lawfully, and in good faith.” Doe v.

In reaching our holding, we are mindful of the State’s alternative rationale for affirming on this point. Citing Rule 608(a) of the Arkansas Rules of Evidence, the State argues that admission of Neighbors’s testimony was permissible because appellant attacked the credibility of the victim in his opening statement. We observe, however, that Rule 608(a) allows the credibility of a witness to be “supported by evidence in the form of opinion or reputation,” but “the evidence may refer only to character for truthfulness or untruthfulness.” Here, Neighbors’s testimony did not fall within the strictures of Rule 608(a), as it was not limited to the victim’s “character for truthfulness.” See Collins v. State, 11 Ark. App. 282, 669 S.W.2d 505 (1984) ().

Wife argues that her decision to waive alimony unambiguously demonstrates the insurance obligation is not an incident of support. However, alimony is not the only form of support available in a divorce. See S.C.Code Ann. § 20-3-130 (Supp.2009) (discussing the different forms of alimony and “[s]uch other form of spousal support ... as appropriate under the circumstances”); Whitfield v.

In other words, in order to obtain a COA, the petitioner must show that the district court’s resolution of the constitutional claims was either “debatable or wrong.” Slack, 529 U.S. at 484, 120 S.Ct. 1595. In assessing whether to grant a COA, the “threshold inquiry does not require full consideration of the factual or legal bases adduced in support of the claims.” United States v.

But they differ in important ways, not the least of which is their treatment of factual material within documents. Factual portions of documents covered by the deliberative process privilege must be segregated and disclosed unless they are “so interwoven with the deliberative material that [they are] not[segregable].” United States v. Fernandez, 231 F.3d 1240, 1247 (9th Cir. 2000). The same is not true for documents withheld pursuant to the attorney work-product privilege. See id.

Mr. Elliot[t] said something like, 'Don’t be so Vic. Just a quick hello ... how-are-ya ... okay, are you ready for the case number.' ” Because this evidence is disputed, we take Gardner's version of events as true for purposes of our review. 12 . Gardner also objected to some of the State’s summary-judgment evidence, but he failed to obtain a ruling on those objections. To the extent we could infer that the trial court implicitly overruled ■ his objections, Gardner does not complain on appeal that the trial court erred in overruling the objections. Therefore, the issue is waived. See Secure Comm, Inc. v. Anderson, 31 S.W.3d 428, 430-31 (Tex.App.-Austin 2000, no pet.) (). 13 .

We hold that it was not. Although a delay resulting from the exhaustion of applicable administrative remedies may be a reasonable ground for delay, see Reder, 116 F.3d at 1263, an attempt to exhaust the wrong remedy is not. That is, a delay stemming from the filing of a petition or complaint with the wrong court is not, in general, a reasonable ground for delay. See Sierra Club, 885 F.2d at 593.

Additionally, allowing a protracted period for recovery of arrearages is contrary to the policy underpinning spousal maintenance, namely, to encourage and assist a spouse’s independence within a limited timeframe. See Schroeder v. Schroeder, 161 Ariz. 316, 321, 778 P.2d 1212, 1217 (1989) (explaining the purpose of spousal maintenance “is to achieve independence for both parties and to require an effort toward independence by the party requesting maintenance”); Rainwater v.

Consequently, I agree with the defendants that the storage agreement represents a modification to the Purchase Order.

Several courts, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, have noted that the term “action,” as referenced in the aforementioned standard for awarding attorney’s fees to defendants, refers to the underlying lawsuit itself; it does not refer to individual actions or conduct committed during the pendency of a lawsuit.

Considering the Court’s action in Aviles and its reasoning and statements in McNeely, we hold that an implied consent statute such as Washington’s and Idaho’s does not justify a warrantless blood draw from a driver who refuses to consent, as did Aviles, or objects to the blood draw, as did Defendant in this case.

Finally, LBM’s refusal to provide 219 Forest with payoff figures in 2005 ensured that default interest, at a rate of 41%, would continue to accrue on the March and December Notes.

Therefore, the contract is not reasonably susceptible to more than one interpretation. Accordingly, as a matter of law we find the phrase “that is beyond the reasonable control of that party” modifies all the events enumerated by the parties in the force-majeure clause. Consequently, we find that Wells is not entitled to summary judgment based on the force-majeure clause, and we reverse the district court’s ruling on this issue. Although our ruling on the force-maj-eure clause is the law of the case, we will not consider whether Pillsbury is entitled to judgment on this issue because it did not move for summary judgment.

I did not agree with this movement to create courts of equity, not of law, in our subordinate court system. United States v. Claxton, supra at 165 (Sullivan, C.J., concurring in part and in the result). More recently, in United States v. Quiroz, 55 MJ 334, 338-39 (2001), a majority of this Court even went so far as to permit the appellate court below to ignore the law of multiplicity in granting findings relief while vaguely citing the service appellate court’s power under Article 66(e), UCMJ. This aberrant line of decisions should not be extended here to hold that the Courts of Criminal Appeals may also flout the law on post-trial delay in discharging their sentence approval function. See United States v. Hutchison, 57 MJ 231 (2002)(). Article 66(c), UCMJ, was not intended by ### Response: holding a court of criminal appeals may not exercise its sentence approval powers to criticize a state court conviction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: shed light on the magnitude of Allen’s incentive to cooperate with authorities and would have revealed that he had much more at stake than was already known to the jury. Beyond facing serious criminal charges, the newly-disclosed information shows Allen was very distressed at the prospect of his alleged sexual misconduct becoming public. In an FBI interview, Allen said he would “become unglued” if the allegations were published in the media). Even though the information does not run afoul of Rule 403, the question remains as to whether it would have been admissible or whether Kohring could have used it to impeach Allen. We conclude that, at a minimum, Kohring could have used the information on cross-examination to impeach Allen. See, e.g., Lindh v. Murphy, 124 F.3d 899 (7th Cir.1997) (). The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth ### Response: holding that a defendant was denied his sixth amendment right to crossexamination when he was barred from questioning an expert witness about potential bias stemming from accusations of sexual impropriety with several patients that resulted in criminal charges and the loss of his medical license and faculty position " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: During the suppression hearing, J.P.'s mother testified that she did not believe that J.P. had done ""anything wrong with that barn fire"" and told the officers that she thought it was a good idea if the truth came out during the interview.

Aside from J.P.'s testimony during the suppression hearing that he ""felt that [he] had to"" answer Officer Bickel's questions, the record does not contain any evidence of police force, coercion or improper inducement to secure J.P.'s statement. Id. at 72. Under the totality of the cireumstances, J.P.'s statement was voluntary and was properly admitted into evidence. See, e.g., Borton v.

Williams, 124 F.3d 411, 420 (3d Cir. 1997) (citation omitted). We have previously identified several factors to consider in making a staleness determination, including the “[a]ge of the information supporting a warrant application,” “the nature of the crime,” and “the type of evidence” sought. United States v. Harvey, 2 F.3d 1318, 1322 (3d Cir. 1993) (citation omitted) ().

Bowen, 842 F.2d 595, 597 (2d Cir.1988)). The record before the ALJ contained no evidence of mental impairment other than the psychiatric evaluation ordered by the ALJ. The progress notes and psychiatric evaluation by plaintiffs treating psychiatrist sought to be added to the record, therefore, are new evidence. Thus, plaintiff satisfies the first part of the test. The second part of the test is whether the new evidence is material and probative. The court need not address this element, however, because plaintiff fails to satisfy the third part of the test, nam ll.1984) ().

II. After a review of all arguments presented and consideration of all relevant case law, the Court agrees with the EPA that RCRA precludes judicial review of pre-enforcement agency orders issued under § 3013 of that Act. For this conclusion, the Court relies heavily on the analysis set forth in United States v. Mobil Oil Corp., No. 96-CV-1432 (JG), 1997 WL 1048911 (E.D.N.Y. Sept.ll, 1997) (dismissing counterclaims asserting a pre-enforcement challenge to a § 3013 order on grounds, inter alia, that RCRA precludes such review). The Court also relies, by analogy, on the authority of Southern Ohio Coal Co. v. Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement, 20 F.3d 1418, 1426 (6th Cir.1994), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 927, 115 S.Ct. 316, 130 L.Ed.2d 278 () and J.V. Peters & Co., Inc. v.

Accordingly, Plaintiff does not dispute that his negligence claim seeks solely economic damages, but alleges that he should be permitted to go to trial on both his contract and tort causes of action regardless of the lack of economic injury. Defendants respond, and the Court agrees, that Plaintiff is precluded from pursuing his negligence claim because it seeks recovery in tort for purely economic loss, and is thus barred by California’s economic loss doctrine. See KB Home v. Super. Ct., 112 Cal.App.4th 1076, 1079, 5 Cal.Rptr.3d 587 (2004) ().

Several lower federal courts relied on Justice Marshall’s approach to expand Rooker-Feldman, holding that federal claims were barred because they were “inextricably intertwined” with state-court judgments. Indeed, Rooker-Feldman tripped up plaintiffs in our circuit even though they did not seek relief from a state-court judgment and their claims were not identical to claims asserted in state court. See, e.g., Prince v. Ark. Bd. Exam’rs in Psychol., 380 F.3d 337, 340 (8th Cir.2004) (quoted ante at 754-55); Ace Const. v. City of St. Louis, 263 F.3d 831, 833 (8th Cir.2001) (); Lemonds v.

However, that Court further observed: None of this implies that debtors in bankruptcy may violate federal law with impunity, selling patented products or, say, going into the cocaine distribution business. Damages for wrongs done during the bankruptcy proceeding are administrative claims, and thus paid in full most of the time. The bankruptcy judge may enjoin ongoing wrongs, or release the automatic stay to allow another court to consider claims that debtors are violating the law. Public agencies may seek redress under § 362(b)(4). But the bankruptcy court is the clearinghouse for private actions .... Id. at 977 (citations omitted) (emphasis added).

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 ¶ 4; cf. United States v. Ready, 82 F.3d 551, 559-60 (2d Cir.1996) ().

Therefore, it is important for the courts to ensure that any identification made or influenced by a defendant’s presence at the deposition does not create a situation where the procedure has the likelihood of violating a defendant’s right to due process of the law as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In other words, courts should not permit unnecessarily suggestive identification procedures as a matter of good policy. The seating of a defendant next to his or her counsel at the deposition of an eyewitness is so clearly suggestive as to be impermissible. Cf. United States v. Archibald, 734 F.2d 938, 942-43 (2d Cir.1984) ().

D'Alessio's fraudulent deceit and concealment claim arises out of the NYSE’s alleged misinterpretation and purposeful concealment of the federal securities laws and various regulations and rules applicable to D'Alessio's trading activities, which were the basis of the charges brought by the government. The negligent misrepresentation claim is based on allegedly false statements made by the NYSE to D’Alessio in connection with their SRO-member relationship. See, e. g., Pappas v. Harrow Stores, 140 A.D.2d 501, 504, 528 N.Y.S.2d 404, 407 (2d Dep't 1988) ().

Blanket certification cannot elimi nate all genuine issues of material fact with regard to Experian’s liability. C. Experian’s Motion to File Dom-ments Under Seal Two standards generally govern motions to seal documents like the one at issue here.

Landowner Houston argues that the controversy is still live because the wells are an ongoing taking for which she is entitled to damages. Although landowner admits that damages were not explicitly requested at trial, she suggests that a request for damages was inherent in her original complaint. Landowner’s claim for a damage reward at this stage in the legal process does not create a live controversy that can avoid the mootness of the case. See Dorian v. Unin of Vt., 156 Vt. 114, 119, 589 A.2d 317, 320 (1991) ().

The plaintiff objected to the report’s conclusion that he did not plead his fraud claims properly, but, for the reasons already discussed, those objections lack merit. Schneiderman & Sherman objected to Judge Randon’s conclusion that the law firm violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by failing to mail Mr. Lewis a debt validation letter. The defendant believes that the statute does not require a debt collector to mail a debt validation letter to a consumer if another debt collector previously mailed the consumer a letter validating the debt. District courts are divided on this question and the Sixth Circuit has yet to provide guidance. Compare Paris v. Steinberg & Steinberg, 828 F.Supp.2d 1212, 1221-22 (W.D.Wash.2011) () with Wright v.

III. Increased Sentence on Resentenc-ing Weingarten raises a number of additional challenges to his new sentence, all predicated on the notion that, even though his original sentence and new sentence both amounted to an effective sentence of thirty years’ imprisonment, the new sen tence should nevertheless be treated as an increased sentence. The government does not dispute that Weingarten’s new sentence should be treated as more severe. Under the “remainder aggregate” analysis outlined in United States v. Markus, when reviewing a sentence imposed on remand after one or more counts have been reversed, we compare the defendant’s new sentence to his previous sentence without the vacated count(s). 603 F.2d 409, 413 (2d Cir.1979) (); see also United States v.

The district court erred, however, by failing to inform the jury of this legal finding.

Thus, the district court must tell the jury which incidents of expression deserve First Amendment protection to enable the jury to apply the third and fourth steps of the Pickering/Connick analysis to Gardetto’s legally protected expression.

See Nelson, 826 S.W.2d at 485; see also Patterson, 665 S.W.2d at 100. Tennessee courts generally hold that an attorney’s negligence, without more, does not constitute excusable neglect.

See Adams v. State, 283 Ga. 298, 301 (3) (d) (658 SE2d 627) (2008); Dewberry v. State, 271 Ga. 624, 625 (2) (523 SE2d 26) (1999) (). 19 Carter v.

Id. at 60-61, 118 S.Ct. 469. Limiting its holding to the facts of the case, the Court stated that: We need not consider whether the statute requires some other kind of connection between a bribe and the expenditure of federal funds, for in this case the bribe was related to the housing of a prisoner in facilities paid for in significant part by federal funds themselves. Id. at 59, 118 S.Ct. 469. Consequently, the Court left the door open regarding whether or not some nexus must exist between the alleged theft or bribe and the federal funds. As a result of the Supreme Court’s holding in Salinas, a circuit split has developed on the issue of whether some sort of nexus or connection must be shown. See, e.g., United States v. Dakota, 197 F.3d 821 (6th Cir.1999) (); United States v.

Moreover, IF the detariffing provisions of the Telecommunications Act subject the terms of nationwide long-distance form contracts to state law attack, the transactional costs and litigation expenses would also increase. Carriers would then face the continuous cost of court challenges and the added expense of revising and distributing modified CSAs which conform with new state court rulings. Consumers would bear the brunt of this through higher prices for telephone service. This too is at odds with Congress’s intent. It also belies the FCC’s belief that the transactional costs of detariffmg would be fixed and short-lived. See, 11 FCC Red. at 20,736 (¶ 57) (). 8 .

We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a) and deny the petition for review. Because the effective date of Huang’s petition is January 21, 2004, we only have jurisdiction to consider her challenge to the BIA’s order dated December 23, 2003.

We note as well the relatively short span of time a student spends in high school compared to the amount of time often required for institutional policies to change. These factors all point to the propriety of judicial scrutiny of IHSAA decisions with respect to student challenges. But what should be the standard of review? This Court has never applied de novo review to IHSAA decisions and emphatically rejects it here. Rather than de novo review, since Sturrup, the appellate courts of this state have applied an “arbitrary and capricious” standard in reviewing the decisions of the IHSAA. Sturrup, 261 Ind. at 470, 305 N.E.2d at 882; see also Avant, 650 N.E.2d at 1171 (); Kriss, 180 Ind.App. at 609, 390 N.E.2d at 202 ### Response: holding the ihsaa did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in granting student limited eligibility " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: occurring before July 1, 2012, shall be governed by the statute in effect at the time of such offense).]” See Ga.

Finally, plaintiff cites Doe v. Kohn Nast & Graf, P.C., 862 F.Supp. 1310 (E.D.Pa.1994). Doe found that reproduction was a major life activity under the ADA for a person infected with HIV by relying on Congress’ use of the broad terms of “life” and “major life activities.” Doe, 862 F.Supp. at 1320. Although the terms “life” and “major life activities” are broad, the EEOC regulations on this provision of the ADA, as discussed earlier, necessitate a finding that “procreation” and “caring for others” are not “major life activities” under the statute. See Department of Treasury, I.R.S. v. FLRA, 494 U.S. 922, 931-33, 110 S.Ct. 1623, 1629, 108 L.Ed.2d 914 (1990) ().

Without scientific proof that the second test result is more accurate than the first test result, the trial court erred in finding the Director carried his burden. Our decision does not cause a hardship to the Director because if an officer is dissatisfied with the results of the breath test, under section 577.020 the driver must submit to a second type of chemical test: either a blood, urine, or a saliva test. See Smith v. Dir. of Revenue, 260 S.W.3d 896, 902-03 (Mo.App. S.D.2008) (finding the officer was authorized under section 577.020.2 to ask a driver to submit to blood test despite the result of the breath test); State v.

Dorozhko, 606 F.Supp.2d at 328. The District Court further observed that the scheme was ""in connection with” the purchase or sale of securities because the close temporal proximity of the hacking to the trading (everything occurred in less than twenly-four hours) and the cohesiveness of the scheme (establishing the trading account, stealing the confidential information within minutes of its availability, and trading on it within minutes of the next day’s opening bell) suggest that hacking into the Thomson computers was part of a single scheme to commit securities fraud. See id. at 328-29; see also SEC v. Zandford, 535 U.S. 813, 822, 122 S.Ct. 1899, 153 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002) ().

Coleman’s testimony alone, and so th ow the charge immediately after the last exchange between the State and the defense concerning the definition of intoxication, and Orsag fails to direct us to any evidence that the jury disregarded the court’s charge. The mere assertion that the jury “could” have been influenced does not rise to the level of evidence rebutting the presumption that the jury followed the charge. Therefore, we conclude that the State’s misstatement of the law to the jury, if any, did not have a substantial and injurious effect or influence in finding Orsag guilty. See Tex.R.App. P. 44.2(b); Herrera v. State, 11 S.W.3d 412, 415-16 (Tex.App.Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, pet. ref d) (). We overrule Orsag’s third issue.

We therefore reverse the Court of International Trade’s dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction of Ford’s claims concerning entries that CBP liquidated post-complaint.

The court concluded that Ford “abandoned” certain claims with a dispositive concession in one of its briefs. Dismissal Op., 716 F.Supp.2d at 1310-11. Although the Court of International Trade did not use the term, we view this dismissal as rooted in the well-recognized rule that if its underlying controversy disappears, a case is moot and non-justieiable. See, e.g., Kaw Nation v. Norton, 405 F.3d 1317, 1322 (Fed.Cir.2005) ().

It is clear that the declaratory relief sought by Powers is equivalent to a request for a declaration of liability. The declaratory judgment count serves the ultimate goal of monetary restitution and is designed primarily to facilitate and ensure the satisfaction of monetary relief. Therefore, class certification under Rule 23(b)(2) is inappropriate. See In re Jackson National Life Insurance Company Premium Litigation, 183 F.R.D. 217 (W.D.Mich.1998) (); Goldberg v.

That section imposes the same requirements as § 1129(a), except for (a)(8), but requires that the plan: 1) “not discriminate unfairly”; and 2) be “fair and equitable, with respect to each class of claims or interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted the plan,” and further requires that at least one impaired class vote in favor of the plan. Debtor seeks approval of its Plan under § 1129(b)’s “cram down” provision. MSHDA, as the sole holder of the impaired Class 2 claim, has stated its intention to vote in favor of th (In re Bryson Properties, XVIII), 961 F.2d 496, 502 (4th Cir.1992) (); Phoenix Mut. Life Ins.

The note and the evidence indicate that Hohenwald then ran upstairs, forced open the upstairs bedroom door, and stabbed Lois repeatedly. Hohenwald then returned to the basement and continued his attack on Larry, eventually retrieving the wooden-handled knife after damaging the black-handled knife. When Hohenwald finally left the Steenerson residence, he was concerned only with escaping, as evidenced by the fact he told J.S., “let’s go,” when he reached the car. These reasonable inferences indicate that Hohenwald engaged in calculated decision-making fueled by anger, not terror. See Van Keuren, 759 N.W.2d at 40 (stating that anger alone is insufficient to form the basis for heat-of-passion manslaughter); State v. Richardson, 398 N.W.2d 657, 664 (Minn.1986) ().

The False Claims Act created a comprehensive scheme designed to protect federal whistleblowers while discouraging frivolous suits by limiting available remedies. See 31 U.S.C. § 3730(h). California’s wrongful discharge tort is inconsistent with this latter objective because it allows recovery of punitive damages. Several of the federal statutes the False Claims Act was modeled after have been found to preempt, state tort remedies for wrongful discharge. See S.Rep. No. 345, 9th Cong., 2nd. Sess. 73 (1986), reprinted in 1986 U.S.C.C.A.N. 5266, 5299 (stating Section 3730(h) was modeled in part after the whistleblower protections, found in 42 U.S.C. § 5851), and Snow v. Bechtel Const. Inc., 647 F.Supp. 1514, 1518-19 (C.D.Cal.1986) (). See also S.Rep.

If we were to accept the Joint Venture's logic, there would be a period of almost a month during which the Corporations were members of the Joint Venture and were responsible for the venture's debts, but not entitled to share in the venture's assets. Such an outcome is not consonant with Alaska partnership law. See AS 32.05.030; see generally Winther v. Samuelson, 10 P.3d 1167, 1171 (Alaska 2000) (). 31 .

Id. An appellate remedy is adequate when any benefits to mandamus review are outweighed by the detriments. In re Prudential Ins. Co. of Am., 148 S.W.3d 124, 136 (Tex.2004) (orig. proceeding). When the benefits outweigh the detriments, we must conduct further analysis. Id. An appeal is inadequate for mandamus purposes when parties are in danger of permanently losing substantial rights, such as when the appellate court would not be able to cure the error; the party’s ability to present a viable claim or defense is vitiated; or the error cannot be made part of the appellate record.

It is a debt collector covered by [the] FDCPA.” (FAC, ¶ 78; October 5 Opposition, at 7:24-27.) In fact, therefore, by Plaintiffs own direct allegation, Defendant is not a debt collector covered by the statute at all. See also Rowe v. Educ. Credit Mgmt.

not be judicially enforced unless it is so conditioned that the lender will be assured of receiving its legal due rudisell v fifth third bank 622 f2d 243 254 6th cir1980 tila clearly does not require the debtor to tender first it contemplates the creditor tendering first but upon the creditor fulfilling its obligations under the statute the debtor then must tender since rescission is an equitable remedy the court may condition the return of monies to the debtor upon the return of property to the creditor citations omitted emphasis added fdic v dev co 938 f2d 889 890 8th cir1991 tila generally provides that the creditor shall perform first ie return monies paid by the debtor and release its security interest however the act gives courts discretion to devise other procedures 15 usc 1635b including conditioning rescissions upon the debtors prior return of the principal defendant also cites to luciano v weyerhaeuser mortg co 200 fedappx 628 630 9th cir2006 however that opinion is not citable in this context pursuant to ninth circuit rule 3634 the fac alleges that the tender demand requested an itemization of the loan disbursements the loan charges the current principal balance and all payments received so that we may determine the exact amount needed for tender see fac 52 ex 7 and that because wachovia did not respond plaintiff was not able to tender the exact and definite amount even though the court chooses to assume on this motion that such information would not also be in the hands of a typical reasonable borrower there is still no allegation in the fac of any ability to tender any amount whatsoever5 the full relevant paragraph of the yamamoto opinion statesas rescission under 1635b is an ongoing process consisting of a number of steps there is no reason why a court that may alter the sequence of procedures after deciding that rescission is warranted may not do so before deciding that rescission is warranted when it finds that assuming grounds for rescission exist rescission still could not be enforced because the borrower cannot comply with the borrowers rescission obligations no matter what such a decision lies within the courts equitable discretion taking into consideration all the circumstances including the nature of the violations and the borrowers ability to repay the proceeds if as was the case here it is clear from the evidence that the borrower lacks capacity to pay back what she has received less interest finance charges etc the court does not lack discretion to do before trial what it could do afteryamamoto 329 f3d at 11736 see also in re wepsic 231 br 768 776 sdcal 1998 the court finds that wepsics proposal of treating josephsons claim as unsecured and paying her over the course of three or more years cuts against the purpose of rescission which is to return both parties to the status quo ante quenzer v advanta mortgage corp usa 288 br 884 888 dkan2003 within the meaning of tila rescission does not mean an annulment that is definitively accomplished by unilateral pronouncement but rather a remedy that restores the status quo ante7 of course that does not mean that we limit ourselves to the provision in perfect isolation we must instead construe that provision with the statutory scheme in which it is embedded in re bce west lp 319 f3d at 11708the court notes that language in a great many cases appears garbled admittedly because cases speak of equitably conditioning the rescission even though what they really are talking about is equitably modifying the conditioned procedural order in which tila says a rescission will place see eg fdic v hughes development co inc 938 f2d 889 890 8th cir1991 but as previously discussed while not a model of clarity in some respects the statutory and regulatory language at issue do seem to state fairly clearly irrespective of whether or not a security interest is terminated before or after a tender that money received by borrowers shall be tendered back at some procedural point9 one allegation by plaintiff deserves a more detailed response in this regard first plaintiff makes a serious allegation that the promissory note and the deed of trust for the mortgage transaction listed different amounts see fac 21 stating the amount of the loan in the note dated february 21 2008 was 44000000 the amount secured by the deed of trust dated february 21 2008 was 55000000 see also fac 19 62 this might appear to rise to the level of fraudulence required for equitable tolling though it is unclear whether it would represent a tila violation still plaintiff calls this the most glaring tila violation of defendants october 5 opposition 615 even to the extent such a discrepancy would relate to a tila violation and even to the extent if so that it would not have been apparent at the consummation of the transaction hubbard 91 f3d at 79 plaintiff has attached the purported note exhibit 2 and the purported deed of trust exhibit 3 to her fac and these documents controvert the alleged facts in the fac a court may disregard allegations in the complaint if contradicted by facts established by exhibits attached to the complaint see eg sumner peck ranch 823 fsupp at 720 the attached deed of trust in fact shows an original principal amount of us 44000000 plus accrued and deferred interest and such other amounts as stated in the note fac exhibit 3 deed of trust part 1d the note likewise is a promise to pay us 44000000 called principal plus interest and any other charges incurred during the course of the loan fac exhibit 2 page 1 the 55000000 referenced by the deed of trust is the maximum aggregate principal balance secured by this deed of trust which is 125 of the original principal note amount fac exhibit 3 deed of trust p 1 this is the analogue provision to paragraph 3f of the note which provides my unpaid principal balance can never exceed 125 of the principal i originally borrowed fac exhibit 2 p 3 paragraph 3f consequently even to the extent a plaintiff would not notice such a discrepancy at the time of consummation of the transaction the facs allegations thus contradicted do not give rise to the sort of fraud that might toll the limitations period10 plaintiff also cites nonbinding outofstate and outofcircuit authority in the fac rather than in her opposition for the proposition that the oneyear statute of limitations does not apply when tila claims are asserted as a defense to a nonjudicial foreclosure claim at least one district court in this circuit has recently reached the opposite conclusion see ortiz v accredited home lenders inc 639 fsupp2d 1159 116465 sdcal200911 there is no 15 usc 1692a6fiii and the court assumes generously to the plaintiff that she meant to make

But the District advances no such argument, and we join the Eighth Circuit in holding that retroactivity concerns are not implicated when the statute is applied to work performed after April 26, 1996, the date of passage of the PLRA. See Williams v. Brimeyer, 122 F.3d 1093, 1094 (8th Cir.1997). When it is applied to work performed after the effective date of the Act, the PLRA raises none of the retroactivity concerns that require the analysis used by the district court because the statute creates present and future effects on present and future conduct, and has no effect on past conduct. Compare Jensen, 94 F.3d at 1203 () with Williams, 122 F.3d at 1094 (holding that ### Response: holding that the plra did not apply to preact work " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: $5,864. 7 The agreement also provides that if Dalmida has not paid the full contract price by July 15,2007, installments will increase to $3,450.

That clause is not triggered because Rasmussen sold the daycare center to a third party on April 14,2007. 8 Rasmussen seeks prejudgment interest on $41,800 from February 28, 2006 until entry of judgment. Granting that request, however, would result in a windfall for Rasmussen because she was not yet owed the full $47,000 at the time the contract was repudiated. Moreover, she mitigated her damages by selling the daycare center to a third party. Given these circumstances, Rasmussen’s calculation of prejudgment interest is inappropriate. See, e.g., Knapp v.

Regarding petitioners’ third claim — that the BIA failed to adhere to one of its prior unpublished decisions — this apparent inconsistency is of no moment because unpublished opinions of the BIA have no precedential value. Douglas v. INS, 28 F.3d 241, 245 (2d Cir.1994).

The clear rationale behind the state-created danger theory is that “when the State by the affirmative exercise of its power so restrains an individual’s liberty that it renders him unable to care for himself, and at the same time fails to provide for his basic human needs — e.g., food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and reasonable safety — it transgresses the substantive limits on state action set by the Eighth Ame ed a triable issue of fact regarding whether a police officer’s act of stranding the female passenger of a drunk driver in a high crime area at 2:30 a.m., resulting in her being raped by a stranger, constituted affirmatively placing her in a position of danger); D.R. by L.R. v.

Similarly, section 1001 requires proof of a false statement, a fact that section 287 does not require, because a false claim against the government can be made without making a false statement — such as by endorsing and cashing a check to which one is not entitled, see, e.g., United States v.

Thus, in analyzing whether the pro se litigant was entitled to a new trial based on the equitable principles established in Carpenter and Wheeler, the Court applied the Craddock test, including its second element inquiring whether the defendant established a meritorious defense. Id. at 346-47. However, the Texas Supreme Court subsequently clarified in Marino that Wheeler did not apply the Craddock test; rather, it applied the two-pronged test from Carpenter for determining whether a trial court should allow a late-filed summary judgment response.

In Furr’s Supermarkets, Inc. v. Arellano, 492 S.W.2d 727 (Tex.Civ.App.—El Paso 1973, writ ref'd n.r.e.), another spilled-macaroni ease, the court held that testimony that the dried macaroni noodles that caused the plaintiffs fall were “soiled, scattered and appeared as though other persons had passed through the area and had been run over presumably by another cart or carts” was no evidence of the length of time the macaroni noodles had been there. Id. at 728; see also H.E. Butt Grocery Co. v. Rodriguez, 441 S.W.2d 215, 217 (Tex.Civ.App.—Corpus Christi 1969, no writ) (); H.E. Butt Grocery Store v.

Such limitation arises under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(5)....”). The exclusion of personal injury tort claims from the purview of the bankruptcy court stems from Congressional recognition that such claimants stand in a different relationship with the bankruptcy debtor because they did not voluntarily enter into dealings with the debtor. Adams, 1996 WL 228567, *3. The purpose of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(5) is to prevent bankruptcy courts from trying personal injury tort actions. In the Matter of Poole Funeral Chapel, Inc., 63 B.R. 527, 532 (Bankr.N.D.Ala.1986).

We conclude that because there is no written cumulation order, there is nothing for this court to reform. Appellant has failed to show any error. Accordingly, we overrule appellant’s second issue. C. Is appellant’s punishment cruel and unusual? In his third issue, appellant contends his sentences were not proportional to the offenses committed, and thus violate his state and federal rights against cruel and unusual punishment. Appellant did not raise these complaints in the trial court, and thus has failed to preserve them for appellate review. See Tex.R.App. P. 33.1(a); Curry v.

There are numerous decisions from other jurisdictions, however, on which such an adverse inference has been drawn. See, e.g., Newman v. Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co., 100 A.D.2d 538, 538-539 (N.Y. 1984) (“[a] reasonable inference could be drawn that the puddle was formed by a slowly dripping overflow of melting ice from the troughs located under the freezer case, and that such a process would take sufficient time to accumulate so that the defendant could be charged with constructive notice”); Taylor v. Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co., 209 Va. 64, 66-67 (1968) (). Contrast Hill v.

Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337, 338, 90 S.Ct. 1057, 25 L.Ed.2d 353 (1970). In addition, the concept of a jury trial, fundamental to this country’s constitutional system of criminal justice, includes the idea that the jury conducts its deliberations under the supervision of a judge who instructs them on the relevant law. Capital Traction Co. v. Hof, 174 U.S. 1, 13-14, 19 S.Ct. 580, 43 L.Ed. 873 (1899). One of the basic tenets of the right to a trial by jury, in turn, is that the defendant is entitled to be present when the jury receives instructions regarding the law. See United States v. U.S. Gypsum Co., 438 U.S. 422, 462, 98 S.Ct. 2864, 57 L.Ed.2d 854 (1978) ().

See United States v. Sanchez, 89 F.3d 715, 718 (10th Cir.1996) (stating that the “threatening presence of several officers” and the “absence of other members of the public” are factors that could indicate that a reasonable person would not feel free to ignore an encounter with the police). The police officers did not ask to speak to the boys, but rather demanded that they approach. See Smith v.

Although the express preemption clause in the FRSA speaks in terms of preemption of state law, and the plaintiffs action here is brought pursuant to FELA, a federal law, at least one court has held that in reconciling the two federal statutes, “the FRSA will supersede the FELA based on the policy embodied in the FRSA to ensure uniformity in law relating to railway safety.” Rice v. Cincinnati, New Orleans & Pacific Ry. Co., 955 F.Supp. at 740 (citing 49 U.S.C. § 20106); accord Waymire v. Norfolk & Western Ry. Co., 218 F.3d 773, 776-777 (7th Cir.2000) (); Thirkill v. J.B.

In affirming the district court’s FIFRA rulings, the court of appeals recognized that “the district court did not determine that those claims [of negligent misrepresentation and negligent testing] were preempted by FI- FRA.” Goeb, 1999 WL 561956, at *7. We also affirm and hold that appellants’ claims of negligent misrepresentation and negligent testing are not preempted by FIFRA.

Nevertheless since the rules do establish standards of conduct by lawyers, a lawyer’s violation of a rule may be evidence of a breach of the applicable standard of conduct. (Emphasis added). Plaintiffs assert that the last sentence above mandates the admission of any rule of professional conduct claimed to have been violated by a defendant, and therefore, our standard of review is de novo. We previously have observed that “a [violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility does not prove negligence per se, ... but it may be used as some evidence of negligence.” Oberon Invs., N.V. v. Angel, Cohen & Rogovin, 492 So.2d 1113, 1114 n. 2 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986), rev’d on other grounds, 512 So.2d 192 (Fla.1987). See also Pressley v. Farley, 579 So.2d 160, 161 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) ().

The Second District holds that a trial court commits reversible error by dismissing a habeas corpus petition without giving defendant notice and an opportunity to respond to the trial court’s action and this court cannot look beyond this error to assess the merits of the petition.

Turning to the remaining claims, we review the rejection of Yuman’s withholding of removal and CAT claim and Yocari’s asylum claim under the substantial evidence standard, and must affirm even.if it is possible to draw differing conclusions from the evidence. Pedro-Mateo v. I.N.S., 224 F.3d 1147,1150 (9th Cir.2000). In light of the detailed country reports in the record below, we conclude substantial evidence supported the rejection of those claims on the grounds that changed country conditions in Guatemala rebutted any claims of potential future persecution.

As previously referenced, the social stigma attached to any form of branding, whether for criminal offense, moral indiscretion, religious belief, or the mere fact of being different, has historically been a lifelong albatross around the necks of those so branded. However, in generation after generation, the majority in society has found ample justification for continuing such practices. Some of those courts which have found registration acts not to be punitive have recognized that “registration has traditionally been viewed as punitive.” Noble, 829 P.2d at 1222.

The majority interprets the modifier “civil or criminal” as indicating that crash reports must be excluded from literally “any trial,” whereas the omission of that modifier from the traffic citation provision indicates that citations need only be excluded from traffic-related trials. The majority claims that to conclude otherwise would be “to imply this missing language where the Legislature has obviously intended that it be omitted.” Majority op. at 447.

And, insofar as the August search satisfied the requirements of the Fourth Amendment, i.e., it was conducted pursuant to a warrant based on probable cause issued by a neutral and detached magistrate, we perceive no basis for concluding that the 45-day delay in notice rendered the search unconstitutional.

In this case, if Hernandez’s allegations fail to establish a violation of a clearly established constitutional right, Jarman and Tarrell will be entitled to qualified immunity for their actions. See Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 201, 121 S.Ct. 2151,150 L.Ed.2d 272 (2001) ().

The limitation on Congress to legislatively supersede the Bill of Rights has its counterpart in the limitation on a state legislature to legislatively supersede the Bill of Rights or its own state constitution. In this case, Minnesota’s relevant constitutional guarantee against improper stops and seizures is in the Minnesota Constitution, Article 1, Section 10. Minn.Stat. § 168.0422 is a statute authorizing a “mark” or a “brand” to be placed on a citizen’s vehicle license plate. That mark labels that vehicle’s driver as one who can be stopped, not for articulable suspicion of criminal activities, but rather because of the “mark.” That is impermissible. See United States v. Cortez, 449 U.S. 411, 417-18, 101 S.Ct. 690, 695, 66 L.Ed.2d 621 (1981) ().

F.3d at 8 (citing Sustache-Rivera v. United States, 221 F.3d 8, 18-19 (1st Cir.2000)). That is, if the evidence overwhelmingly proves the factual basis underlying the sentence enhancement; we will find no plain error for the judge’s failure to submit the facts to a jury. We simply fail to see how a judicial finding for sentence enhancement, explicitly sanctioned by the Sentencing Guidelines; and overwhelmingly proved at trial, would seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings., See. Johnson v. United States, 520 U.S. 461, 470, 117 S.Ct. 1544, 137 L.Ed.2d 718 (1997)().

Congress has often explicitly included a required mental state in other hoax statutes. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 35(b) (requiring that a false bomb threat on an airplane be made “willfully and maliciously, or with reckless disregard for the safety of human life”); 18 U.S.C. § 844(e) (requiring that a hoax about a “fire or an explosive” be made “willfully” or “maliciously”). Instead of including these specific terms of art in § 1038(a), Congress crafted this statute using the language “under circumstances where” and “may reasonably be believed.” 18 U.S.C. § 1038(a)(1). This is a noticeable difference, and we have read statutes with language similar to § 1038(a)(1) as containing an objective reasonableness standard. See Roy v. United States, 416 F.2d 874, 877-78 (9th Cir.1969) (); see also United States v.

When the case has been dismissed for want of prosecution, there is no presumption that the dismissal order also disposed of issues in an independent cross-action or counterclaim. See Id.

The fact that a new version of the Open Meeting Law took effect on July 1, 2010—see St. 2009, c. 28, §20—does not affect the mootness calculation in this case. The statutory exception allowing public bodies to meet privately to discuss litigation strategy has not substantively changed. Compare G.L.c. 30A, §21{a)(3) (effective July 1, 2010) with G.L.c. 39, §23B(3) (in effect prior to July 1, 2010). Since this case raises an issue of ongoing public importance that is “capable of repetition in a manner that might again evade review,” Plaintiffs are entitled to have the Court resolve their claims even though the parties’ dispute over the Board’s discussions of the prior HDC litigation is now moot.

An exception exists when the claims against debtor and non-debtor parties are “inextricably intertwined.” See Carway v. Progressive County Mut. Ins. Co., 183 B.R. 769, 775 (S.D.Tex.1995) (citing A.H.

Ga. Underwriting Ass’n, 202 Ga. App. 610, 611 (1) (414 SE2d 915) (1992). 9 As we have previously noted, a delay in paying costs of more than 30 days is prima facie unreasonable and inexcusable; however, this is a rebuttable inference. See, e.g., Morrell v. W. Servs., LLC, 291 Ga. App. 369, 372 (1) (662 SE2d 215) (2008); McCorvey Dev., Inc. v. D.G. Jenkins Dev. Corp., 260 Ga.

At no point did appellant, the State, or amici analyze whether “otherwise introduced” excludes a passive bodily function. Nor did appellant raise at trial the argument that “otherwise introduced” could not include a passive transfer through the umbilical cord post-delivery. Instead, she limited her argument concerning post-delivery transfer to the insufficiency of the evidence. We have re.peatedly held that we will not address an issue not raised and ruled on by the trial court and to otherwise would be to issue an advisory opinion, which we will-not do!

Under the second interpretation, tied to the slightly more flexible “impede” or “avert” definition of “prevent,” an agreement would have to effectively counteract — without necessarily eliminating — price suppression. Id. The Court finds that Commerce’s interpretation of the statute is reasonable because it is in accord with the interpretation tied to the latter definition of “prevent,” and because, contrary to U.S. Steel’s suggestions, this interpretation creates a reviewable standard. How much price suppression is “significant” may be determined on a case-by-case basis. See SEC v. Chenery Corp., 332 U.S. 194, 203, 67 S.Ct. 1575, 91 L.Ed. 1995 (1947); see also Fabrique De Fer De Charleroi S.A. v. United States, slip op. 01-82, at 21 (CIT July 3, 2001) ().

C. Estoppel In their Opposition, Defendants Tokuda and Shen argue that Plaintiff cannot pursue its claims because of the doctrine of estoppel.

The debt- or represented in its bankruptcy schedules that it had no assets, the state court proceedings were stayed against the debtor, and the trustee of the debtor’s estate gave no indication that the state court action might otherwise affect the estate. Scott never articulated a plausible argument why the bankruptcy court could have had jurisdiction over the state proceedings in spite of those circumstances. It was therefore not an abuse of discretion for the bankruptcy court to find Scott’s notice of removal frivolous and filed in bad faith to delay the state court proceedings, thereby warranting the imposition of sanctions.

Because the facts before Officer O’Brien at the time of Plaintiff’s arrest do not satisfy the elements of child abuse under N.M.S.A. § 30-6-1, the Court finds that Officer O’Brien arrested Plaintiff without probable cause. Finally, the Court notes that Defendants argue that the question of whether Officer O’Brien had probable cause to arrest Plaintiff is a factual question for the jury. The Court disagrees. Probable cause for arrest is a proper issue for the jury “when there is no genuine issue of material fact.” Keylon, 535 F.3d at 1215 (citing Bruner v. Baker, 506 F.3d 1021, 1028 (10th Cir.2007)) ().

Edwards, 235 Ga. App. 48, 50 (508 SE2d 708) (1998). And while “a concurrence of actual residence and intent to remain is necessary to acquire a domicile,” the same is not true to establish residence. Id. Indeed, “a person may have several residences which are not necessarily permanent or in the same locale as the domicile.” Id. Thus, regardless of whether Thornburg’s domicile remains in Georgia, she has been an Arizona resident since early October 2010. See id. at 49-50 ().

In any event, this court believes that, even without this supporting authority, a presumption of propriety should accompany a court interpreter in the performance of his or her official duties. The law recognizes many presumptions that place the onus to adduce rebuttal evidence on the party attacking the presumption. See, e.g., Landgraf v.

The last time Stephanie went to see Defendant, she had just given birth and she was not producing breast milk. Defendant had told Stephanie’s mother that he could help the problem by massaging an area under Stephanie’s arm. When Stephanie came in, Defendant had her undress and remove her bra. Then, without explaining why he was doing so, he proceeded to massage her full breast, pinching her nipples the way a baby would suckle them. This made Stephanie feel very uncomfortable. Defendant then told Stephanie that when his wife was pregnant, he would suckle her breasts to try to bring in her milk. He offered to suck on Stephanie’s breasts for the same reason.

III. DE FACTO AUTHORITY However, because the circuit court to which the commissioner was assigned had jurisdiction to decide this matter, we must address Commissioner Peuler’s authority to hear this case as a “judge de facto” of the third circuit court. A judge de facto is defined as: One who holds and exercises the office of a judge under color of lawful authority and by a title valid on its face, though he has not full right to the office, as where he was appointed under an unconstitutional statute, or by an usurper of the appointing power, or has not taken the oath of office.

While not explicitly on point with this issue, the court in Industrial Risk Insurers held that grounds not enumerated in the Convention do not provide valid cause to vacate an award; namely, that an award cannot be vacated under the Convention on the ground that it is “arbitrary and capricious.” Indus. Risk Ins., 141 F.3d at 1443 ().

These decisions also influence the third factor, because they damage plaintiffs ability to “show[ ] a significant possibility of success on the merits.” Hill, 547 U.S. at 584, 126 S.Ct. 2096. Moreover, the pleadings filed by plaintiff provide minimal support for his assertions that the DOC’s protocol is not substantially similar to Kentucky’s procedure or that his execution will be carried out in a cruel and unusual fashion. Nor does the fact that the same or similar issues are pending before the Fourth Circuit increase the likelihood of irreparable harm, or likelihood of success, in the matter pending before this Court. See Jones v. Allen, 485 F.3d 635, 641 n. 4 (11th Cir.2007) ().

Section 3663A makes restitution mandatory in this case “[njotwithstanding any other provision of law.” 18 U.S.C. § 3663A (2000) (emphasis added). Thus, even if 11 U.S.C. § 727 purported to discharge Defendant’s debt to U.S. Bank and the exception in 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(7) did not apply, Defendant would still be liable for restitution under § 3663A. See, e.g., Cisneros v. Alpine Ridge Group, 508 U.S. 10, 18, 113 S.Ct. 1898, 123 L.Ed.2d 572 (1993) (“[I]n construing statutes, the use of such a ‘notwithstanding’ clause clearly signals the drafter’s intention that the provisions of the ‘notwithstanding’ section override conflicting provisions of any other section.”); see also United States v.

While some of the discrepancies in petitioner’s testimony appear relatively minor, we afford “ ‘particular deference’ ” in applying the substantial evidence standard when a factual challenge pertains to a credibility finding made by an IJ and adopted by the BIA.

At the very least, petitioner’s testimony, coupled with petitioner’s wife’s rebuttal affidavit, did not establish the type of consistent, complete, and plausible explanation necessary for overcoming the IJ’s finding with regard to the fabricated documents — a finding that, as discussed above, is supported by substantial evidence.

But if the district court determines that the plaintiffs action, even if successful, will not demonstrate the invalidity of any outstanding criminal judgment against the plaintiff, the action should be allowed to proceed, in the absence of some other bar to the suit.” Id. at 487, 114 S.Ct. 2364. Defendants contend that the relief Grier seeks would necessarily implicate or undermine the validity of his criminal convictions. Previously, several appellate courts were split as to whether a § 1983 claim to compel state officials to release evidence for postconviction DNA testing is a claim seeking to undermine a plaintiffs conviction. Compare Kutzner v. Montgomery County, 303 F.3d 339, 340 (5th Cir.2002) (), Harvey v.

KG.S. attaches to her motion to dismiss a proposed order granting KG.S.’s adoption petition; that order is not signed by Druhan, and there is no indication that that order was actually entered. On November 10, 2015, Druhan also filed a motion to dismiss KR.’s mandamus petition. Druhan states that he denied KR.’s motion contesting KG.S.’s adoption petition on October 28, 2015. As a result, Druhan argues, KR.’s petition before this Court is moot. Druhan states that, “save for this Court’s stay,” he would have entered the proposed order submitted by KG.S.

Although both Allen and the Appellees agree that the district court has jurisdiction over Allen’s claim, we must determine the issue because jurisdiction cannot be conferred by agreement. Burke v.

Civic Ass’n of the Deaf of New York City v. Giuliani, 915 F.Supp. 622, 634 (S.D.N.Y.1996) (internal citations omitted). NY-CHA does not dispute, that it is a “public entity” within the meaning'of the statute. Because the standards for discrimination against the disabled are interpreted similarly in the Rehabilitation Act, ADA, and FHAA, Plaintiffs’ Disability Rights Statutes claims can be analyzed together. See Toyota Motor Manuf., Ky. Inc. v. Williams, 534 U.S. 184, 193-94, 122 S.Ct. 681, 151 L.Ed.2d 615 (2002); Shapiro v.

While we do not have a record of appellant’s Spanish statements, we assume that had appellant's Spanish statements risen to the level of criminal contempt, the district court would have stopped appellant, had her comments translated for the record, and made a contempt finding. In the absence of such action by the district court, we assume that appellant said nothing which rose to the level of criminal contempt. 6 . Because we hold that there was no alteration under Rule 35(c), we find it unnecessary to address the complicated question of exactly when a sentence is imposed for purposes of Rule 35(c). Currently, there is a circuit split on this issue. Many circuits look to the oral imposition of sentence. Compare United States v. Aguirre, 214 F.3d 1122, 1125 (9th Cir.2000) (); see also United States v. Morrison, 204 F.3d ### Response: holding that oral imposition of sentence begins seven day clock for rule 35c " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: this exception. This exception is limited, however, “to those procedures without which the likelihood of an accurate conviction is seriously diminished.” Id. The rule at issue here has no bearing on the accuracy of the defendant’s criminal conviction. As such, the second exception to non-retroactivity is inapplicable in this case. In supplemental briefing on this issue, petitioner also argues that retroactive application is appropriate because the rule of law which Garcia invokes is substantive, rather than procedural. Petitioner’s argument is premised upon a third exception, which provides that, in contrast to new constitutional rules of criminal procedure, substantive rules of criminal law are applied retroactively. See United States v. McClelland, 941 F.2d 999, 1000 (9th Cir.1991) (). Under this substantive law exception, when a ### Response: holding that the decision in aguon ii 851 f2d 1158 9th cir1988 finding that inducement is an essential element of extortion was fully retroactive " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: administration company, sued defendants Robert Dube, an underwriter, and Lafayette Life Insur-anee Company, alleging, among other claims, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. Excess Risk, 208 F.Supp.2d at 1312. In defendant Dube’s motion to dismiss, he claimed that the economic loss doctrine barred ERU’s breach of fiduciary duty claim. The court agreed and granted Dube’s motion to dismiss. Id. at 1316. The court reasoned that “ERU’s breach of fiduciary duty claim against Dube is barred by the economic loss rule because ERU has not alleged facts independent from the contract” and because the breach of fiduciary duty claim arose solely as a result of the existence of the contract. Id.; see also McCutcheon v. Kidder, Peabody & Co., Inc., 938 F.Supp. 820, 824 (S.D.Fla.1996)(); Hilliard, 125 F.Supp.2d at 1080 (economic ### Response: holding that economic loss rule barred claim for breach of fiduciary duty where plaintiffs claim arose solely as a result of the existence of a contract between the parties " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Green, 411 U.S. 792, 802-04, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973); Texas Dep’t of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U.S. 248, 252-53, 101 S.Ct. 1089, 67 L.Ed.2d 207 (1981). Once this prima facie case has been established, there is a presumption of discrimination, and the burden shifts to the defendant to articulate some legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the challenged employment action. McDonnell Douglas, 411 U.S. at 802-04, 93 S.Ct. 1817. If such a showing is made, the burden shifts back to the plaintiff to demonstrate that the articulated reason was merely a pretext for intentional discrimination. Id. The third step of the McDonnell Douglas test has been altered by the Supreme Court’s decision in Desert Palace, Inc. v. Costa, 539 U.S. 90, 123 S.Ct. 2148, 156 L.Ed.2d 84 (2003) ().

As in Buckley and McConnell, the provisions involved here have only a marginal impact on the ability of contributors to engage in effective political speech. As such, they are not subject to strict scrutiny, but to the lesser standard of intermediate scrutiny applied in Buckley and McConnell. See Ohio Right to Life Society, Inc. v.

As such, the court cannot find that the state appellate court unreasonably applied the prejudice prong of the Strickland framework to the facts of this case. See United States v.

As such, an unresolved proceeding, one that is not final and has not reached a definitive end, does not meet the accepted general definition of “terminate” or its past-tense equivalent “terminated.” In this case, the generally accepted definition of “terminated” would appear to support Mother’s position — where a termination proceeding remains unresolved on appeal and has not yet ended formally or definitely, parental rights to a sibling have not been terminated under Section 32A-4-2(C)(4). However, our Supreme Court has recognized that the application of the plain meaning rule does not end an analysis. See State v. Rivera, 2004-NMSC-001, ¶ 13, 134 N.M. 768, 82 P.3d 939 ().

Defenders accorded the Secretary's interpretation of the statutory phrase ""in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range” no deference. 258 F.3d at 1145 n. 11. The court explained that the Secretary had entirely ignored an aspect of the phrase (the use of the disjunctive ""or”), and thus there was no interpretation to defer to. See id. Here, we owe the Secretary’s interpretation of the statute deference under Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984), because he offers an interpretation of an ambiguous statutory phrase, and offers that interpretation via formal notice and comment rulemaking. See United States v. Mead Corp., 533 U.S. 218, 230-31, 121 S.Ct. 2164, 150 L.Ed.2d 292 (2001) (). 11 .

We also reject Appellants’ contention that consideration of conduct from dismissed counts would severely undermine the plea bargaining process and threaten the proportionality in sentencing that the guidelines seek to foster. Reality does not bear out their argument. There is little difference between utilizing uncharged, dismissed, or even acquitted conduct as a basis for departure and employing it as relevant conduct under U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3 to determine the base offense level or adjustments to it. And, the propriety of using uncharged, dismissed, and acquitted conduct for these purposes is well settled. See, e.g., United States v. Watts, — U.S. -, -, 117 S.Ct. 633, 636-38, 136 L.Ed.2d 554 (1997) (per curiam) (); United States v.

Mem., pg. 15.) Indeed, as Judge Posner of the Seventh Circuit explained in Sarchet v. Chater, 78 F.3d 305, 307 (7th Cir.1996), “[fibromyalgia’s] cause or causes are unknown, there is no cure, and, of greatest importance to disability law, its symptoms are entirely subjective. There are no laboratory tests for the presence or severity of fibromyalgia.” Id. Thus, any focus by the Defendant or by ALJ Cohen on the absence of objective evidence is misplaced, because “its absence is no more indicative that the patient’s fibromyalgia is not disabling than the absence of headache is an indication that a patient’s prostate cancer is not advanced.” Id., see also Green-Younger v.

Potter v. Norwest Mortgage, Inc., 329 F.3d 608, 613-14 (8th Cir.2003). We emphasized that a stipulation in a settlement agreement, by which a plaintiff reserves the right to appeal the denial of certification, is not sufficient in and of itself to satisfy Article III. Id. at 614 n. 3. Rather, we said that when individual claims are fully satisfied, the court of appeals, in determining whether a case or controversy remains, “need only address whether [the plaintiff] retains an interest in shifting costs and attorney fees to the putative class members.” Id. at 614. But cf. Cameron-Grant v. Maxim Healthcare Servs., Inc., 347 F.3d 1240, 1246-47 (11th Cir.2003) (per curiam) ().

See id. § 262.201(b), (c). This order named DFPS K.N.D.’s temporary managing conservator, but it did allow A.D. visitation with K.N.D. Thus, the trial court specifically found danger to KN.D.’s physical health or safety caused by “an act or failure to act” of A.D., as “the person entitled to possession.” A.D. did not challenge these findings at the time the trial court made them or at any other time in the year that this case was pending in the trial court. At trial, she did not present an argument regarding the sufficiency of 59, at *4 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] Aug. 30, 2012, no pet. h.) (mem. op.) (); L.Z. v. Tex.

Plaintiffs refused, as was their right at that time. While the paving requirement was eventually removed by the board due to plaintiffs’ efforts, Hatt served notice of forfeiture on the plaintiffs before that requirement had been satisfied and before he presented the abstract to plaintiffs for inspection. From that point forward, Hatt refused to cooperate with plaintiffs in any way despite their repeated requests. In essence, Hatt breached the contract by anticipatory repudiation. By serving upon plaintiffs the notice of forfeiture, Hatt repudiated the contract. See Williams v. Clark, 417 N.W.2d 247, 250 (Iowa App.1987); accord Bitzes v. Sunset Oaks, Inc., 649 P.2d 66, 70 (Utah 1982) (); Blue Lakes v.

This constitutes a statutorily authorized, direct attack on a land use decision by the City under Section 31-2-9. See also § 3-19-8; § 3-21-9; § 39-3-1.1 (providing for an appeal to the district court by any person in interest dissatisfied with an order or determination of a planning commission after review of the order or determination by the governing body of the municipality). Although the City, Wal-Mart, and the dissent assert that Petitioner was required to intervene in the litigation between them in order to protect his right to challenge the development, they cite no New Mexico authority to support this position, and we decline any invitation to create such author o., 92 N.M. 237, 241, 586 P.2d 318, 322 (Ct.App.1978) ().

Id. The court found, however, that “[t]he Government’s last-minute change of tactic, although advanced prior to the issuance of the Court’s Opinion, was too late.... ” Id. It followed, therefore, that the government’s new theory could not “in fairness be regarded as an appropriate ground for reconsideration of th[e] Court’s prior decision.” Id. In affirming the lower court’s finding of waiver, the Second Circuit stated: Under these circumstances, we believe that the court acted within its discretion in finding that the government raised the “traceable proceeds” theory too late to be considered by the court. Ruiz v. Commissioner of Dep’t of Transp. of the City of New York, 858 F.2d 898, 902 (2d Cir.1988) ().

See Lovett, 327 F.3d at 1182; see also O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. The events in Fortson’s federal complaint occurred in April 2011, when his state complaint was dismissed. Fortson knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to his federal claims at the time his state complaint was dismissed; therefore, the limitations period began to run in April 2011. See Lovett, 327 F.3d at 1182. Nonetheless, he did not file his federal complaint until January 2014, nearly three years later, after the limitations period had expired. See id. To the extent Fortson requested the district judge to void any state judgments, his claims were barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. See Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Saudi Basic Indus. Corp., 544 U.S. 280, 284, 125 S.Ct. 1517, 1521-22, 161 L.Ed.2d 454 (2005) ().

See id. Thus, ambiguity determined by the judge’s view of “clear meaning” is a troublesome concept that often obstructs the court’s proper and primary function in this area — to enforce the meaning intended by the contracting parties. See 3 Corbin § 542, at 122-24; Gottsfield, supra, at 385. Recognizing these problems, we are hesitant to endorse, without explanation, the often repeated and usually oversimplified construct that ambiguity must exist before parol evidence is admissible. We have previously criticized the ambiguity prerequisite in the context of non-negotiated agreements. See State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Wilson, 162 Ariz. 251, 257, 782 P.2d 727, 733 (1989) (); Darner, 140 Ariz. at 389, 682 P.2d at 394 ### Response: recognizing the lack of logic in requiring ambiguity which may be fortuitous to prove the true terms of an agreement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 289 N.Y.S.2d 12, 14 (N.Y.

On appeal, defendants fail to point to any evidence submitted on summary judgment suggesting that plaintiff is a party to the arbitration agreement between Liberty Mutual and Frankenmuth, that he adopted the agreement, or that he sought to benefit directly from the arbitration. See Hartford Acc. & Indem. Co. v. Maryland Cas. Co., 75 Misc.2d 410, 412, 347 N.Y.S.2d 380, 383 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1973) ().

If the amount of security provided by the LOU is insufficient to satisfy a judgment, the court ordinarily may authorize the re-arrest of the vessel only if the amount of the original security was obtained through fraud or mistake. See Moore v. M/V ANGELA 353 F.3d 376, 385-386 (5th Cir.2003) (“While it is true that a district court may require ‘further security’ at any time, we interpret the phrase to mean substitute or replacement security (e.g., when a surety has become insolvent) rather than additional security, except where the vessel was released by fraud, misrepresentation, or mistake of the court.” (internal citation omitted) (emphasis in original)); Industria Nacional Del Papel, CA. v.

The fifth of these exceptions provides orney has a right to fair notice of the charges against her). It follows that reciprocal discipline based on an attorney’s resignation must be based only on those allegations of which the attorney had fair notice at the time of resignation. Cf. In re Bielec, 755 A.2d at 1024 ().

Subsequently, the plaintiff submitted two responses essentially reiterating his prior allegations and attached copies of his previously submitted FOIA and Privacy Act requests and a copy of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The defendant filed a response indicating that it did not wish to submit any additional information. Therefore, this Court will examine the plaintiffs claims pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) and Rule 56. (1) Rule 12(b)(1) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) requires that the plaintiff bear the burden of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the court has jurisdiction to entertain his claims.

Id. § 38.04(a), (b)(2)(A). The language in section 38.04(b)(2) that makes the offense of evading arrest a third degree felony is presented as an element of the felony offense itself, rather than as an enhancement provision, such as can be found in section 12.42 of the penal code. See id. § 12.42 (providing penalties for repeat and habitual felony offenders); State v. Atwood, 16 S.W.3d 192, 196 (Tex.App.-Beaumont 2000, pet. refd) () (emphasis added).

Probationers, howev er, have a diminished expectation of privacy and are subject to limitations to which ordinary citizens are free, such as home visits by probation officers. Id. at 1367-68. We have not addressed the question of whether a probation condition so completely diminished a probationer’s reasonable expectation of privacy that a search without reasonable suspicion would satisfy the reasonableness requirement of the Fourth Amendment in the criminal context. We and the Supreme Court have held that the Fourth Amendment is not violated when a probationer’s home is searched based on only reasonable suspicion, absent consent and absent a warrant. See, e.g., United States v. Knights, 534 U.S. 112, 114, 121-22, 122 S.Ct. 587, 589, 592-93, 151 L.Ed.2d 497 (2001) (); United States v.

See id. This Court cannot hold, therefore, that appellee’s e-mails contained subject lines that had the capacity, tendency, or effect of deceiving the recipient. In addition, from these facts, we cannot draw a reasonable inference that a consumer would likely be deceived or misled by the e-mails. We hold that appellant’s pleading is legally insufficient to support a valid cause of action, because the statements were conclusory without any factual allegations to support them. We further hold that the exhibit attached to the complaint, which merely listed e-mails sent by Network Solutions, is, without more, insufficient to support an allegation that the subject lines were misleading or had a tendency to deceive. See Cont’l Masonry, 279 Md. at 481-82, 369 A.2d 566 (). We, therefore, affirm the circuit court’s ### Response: holding plaintiffs pleading was insufficient to state a valid cause of action because plaintiffs characterization of defendantjs conduct was nothing more than a conclusory expression of opinion without factual allegations to support it and mere conclusions and general averments of a breach of a contractual duty do not suffice in complex matters such as where the breach is not readily apparent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: verdict that conflated liability and damages.

Federal law governs the decision whether or not to grant a new trial, but an issue of the sufficiency of damages awarded for a state claim is decided under state law. Hattaway v. McMillian, 903 F.2d 1440, 1451 (11th Cir.1990). A motion for a new trial under Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 must be granted “when the issues of liability and damages were tried together and there are indications that the jury may have rendered a compromise verdict.” Mekdeci, 711 F.2d at 1513 (quoting Lucas v.

Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, 194 F.R.D. 66, 69 (E.D.N.Y.2000). Nevertheless, a plaintiff seeking class certification “ ‘must show some evidence of or reasonably estimate the number of class members.’ ” Pecere, 194 F.R.D. at 69 (quoting LeGrand v. New York City Trans. Auth., 1999 WL 342286 *3 (May 26, 1999)). Where the plaintiffs assertion of numerosity is pure speculation or bare allegations, the motion for class certification fails.

In so doing, we applied the test set forth in Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 92 S.Ct. 2182, 33 L.Ed.2d 101 (1972). Pursuant to Barker, the court first considers whether the delay itself is sufficient to trigger further inquiry. Second, the court must evaluate the reason for the delay. Thirdly, the court must ascertain the timeliness of the defendant’s assertion of his right; and lastly, the court must decide if there exists any resulting prejudice to the defendant. Burkett, 5 A.3d at 1276. The 21-month delay herein is clearly sufficient to trigger further inquiry; thus, the first prong of the test is satisfied. Id., 5 A.3d at 1279 ().

The Government is similarly entitled to excuse a member. Defense, any peremptory challenge? At the outset I acknowledge that these issues arise from the lower court’s attempt to deal with a difficult and complex issue — what the military judge must do when there is a factual dispute relating to the race-neutral explanation for the exercise of a peremptory challenge governed by Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986). This issue implicates the fundamental concern of how to prevent use of a subterfuge race-neutral explanation. See Ford v.

Moreover, our independent review of the entire statute confirms that nowhere does it confer such an unconditional right of intervention.

Command had the burden of identifying “hard facts” to support its allegations of a conflict of interest or bias on the part of MICC that gave HCS unequal access to information or an unfair competitive advantage in obtaining the contract award. The court has determined that Command failed to meet this burden. See PAI Corp., 614 F.3d at 1352 (“To demonstrate that such a determination is arbitrary or capricious, a protester must identify ‘hard facts’; a mere inference or suspicion of an actual or apparent conflict is not enough.”); see also C.A.C.I., Inc.-Fed. v.

As in the case of a discrimination claim under Title VII or the ADA, once the plaintiff establishes a prima facie case, the defendant must provide a legitimate, non-retaliatory reason for the adverse action.

The Estate points to the opinions of some lay witnesses that Waterman's vehicle did not appear to be a threat to the officers ahead and to expert testimony that the officers’ use of deadly force was unreasonable. Neither precludes Appellants' entitlement to summary judgment. Even ignoring the conclusory nature of the lay opinions, those opinions do not create a genuine issue. of fact because the witnesses were unaware of tire fact most critical to the probable cause analysis: that Waterman had reportedly attempted to use his vehicle as a weapon in order to avoid being captured only minutes before entering the toll plaza.

The Court holds today that, with regard to removal under 12 U.S.C. 1819, one of the applicable federal rules continues to be set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b), requiring timely removal by the FDIC. As stated above, Defendant FDIC’s removal was required on or about August 17, 1989, and its September 8, 1989 notice was therefore untimely. III.

Because Gordon has not met the requirements for Rule 11(a)(2), we find that Gordon is foreclosed from appealing the denial of his motion to suppress. Gordon also waived his right to appeal sentencing issues in the plea agreement. At Gordon’s second guilty plea hearing, to which the plea agreement is applicable, the district court explicitly noted the agreement’s appellate waiver provisions and Gordon reaffirmed his agreement to them. We conclude the waiver is valid and enforceable and that the Sixth Amendment issues raised on appeal fall within the scope of the waiver. See United States v.

In so holding, we noted that, in Padilla, the United States Supreme Court stated it had never applied the distinction between direct and collateral consequences to define the scope of constitutionally professional assistance required under Strickland. We then concluded in Abraham that it was unclear whether the direct/collateral analysis is still viable as it relates to issues concerning the ineffective assistance of counsel.

But the constitutional basis for objecting to intentionally discriminatory application of laws is the Equal Protection Clause, not the Fourth Amendment.

Therefore, if the plaintiffs can show that they were subjected to unequal treatment based upon their race or ethnicity during the course of an otherwise lawful traffic stop, that would be sufficient to demonstrate a violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Cf. United States v. Montero-Camargo, 208 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir.)

On the merits, I note that this Court has previously interpreted statutory provisions governing the training of police officers that are analogous to those in issue here as extending to officials who were not technically subject to their terms but nevertheless were cloaked with authority on a par with the police officers that the statute directly covered.

Details of private equity funds’ investment and management practices are outside the domain of an ordinary person’s knowledge, and might be helpful to a decisionmaker. However, the plaintiffs have a valid point when they challenge Adams’s testimony that holding the defendants accountable would have a detrimental effect on the private equity industry. Such policy-type arguments fall outside of the scope of expert testimony sanctioned by Rule 702, and are irrelevant to issues at hand. Cf. Chavez v.

Thus, because Nationwide’s payment of $100,000 was less than the $492,155.82 in accrued interest on the judgment as of February 23, 2011, the $100,000 partial payment did not' reduce the principal amount and did not abate the accrual of additional interest on that' amount.

App. 3d at 1003, 350 N.E.2d at 20. This analysis comports with earlier decisions of this court. In Armond v. Sawyer (1990), 205 Ill. App. 3d 936, 563 N.E.2d 900, the plaintiffs liquor license was renewed semi-annually for 12 years in violation of a referendum, the existence of which was known to the plaintiff. In holding that the city was not estopped from revoking the plaintiffs license, despite the unauthorized renewals, we refused to characterize the renewals as affirmative acts by the city, especially since the plaintiff was aware of the referendum. Armond, 205 Ill. App. 3d at 939, 563 N.E.2d at 902-03; see also Leong v. Village of Schaumburg (1990), 194 Ill. App. 3d 60, 69, 550 N.E.2d 1073, 1079-80 (); People ex rel. Satas v.

The crucial consideration in Cotton was that, because the evidence at trial was overwhelming and uncontroverted, “the error did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings.” Id. at 632-33, 122 S.Ct. 1781. Here, because Lewis’s case does not involve review for plain error, the issue of whether the error seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings is not before us.

We acknowledge that the Commission appears not to have considered the amount of the rate increase Minnesota Power received in 1987. But that failure does not make its decision arbitrary and capricious when the record reflects that in Minnesota Power's two most recent rate cases, those in 1994 and 2008, the utility received only 45 percent and 56 percent respectively of its initial rate request.

It therefore follows that the term 3% elasticity as used in claim 5 refers not to the spontaneous return of a component to its original shape, but rather to the ability of a component to “spring back” by an amount equal to 3% of its original length. Moreover, the term is used in claim 5 precisely as it is used in claim 1, and there is no reasoned basis to apply different definitions to the same term used in two claims of the same patent. See Southwall Technologies, Inc. v. Cardinal IG Co., 54 F.3d 1570, 1579 (Fed.Cir.1995), petition for cert. filed, 60 U.S.L.W. 3250 (Sept. 19, 1995) (No. 95-475); Fromson v.

To correct this error, the Government dismissed Count I and (with Rhodes’ consent) filed a direct information charging her with a misdemeanor for violating that section. In this opinion we refer to the direct information and Count I of the indictment collectively as “Count I.” 2 . After the court denied Rhodes’ motion to strike Browe for cause, Rhodes used her last peremptory challenge to remove Browe from the venire. Thus, Rhodes contends that the district court’s error was prejudicial because it impaired her statutory right to exercise ten peremptory challenges. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 24(b); United States v.

Va. Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 1.7 cmt. Loyalty to a Client. In addition, as we noted in the preceding section of this opinion, a lawyer is expected to deal with his/her clients fairly, honestly, and with integrity. See, e.g., W. Va. Standards of Professional Conduct, Preamble; In re Brown, 166 W.Va. at 232, 273 S.E.2d at 570. Implicit in such dealings is the sense that, because of a lawyer’s various professional responsibilities, there exists a relationship of trust between an attorney and his/her client. See, e.g., Kopelman & Assocs., L.C. v. Collins, 196 W.Va. 489, 496 n. 7, 473 S.E.2d 910, 917 n. 7 (1996) (). See also Lawyer Disciplinary Bd. v.

Second, the root principles at work here — the principle that courts must be consistent with one another and the principle that governmental entities may in some circumstances be treated as private when taking on a private role or function— have a venerable lineage.

The PCR court did not make any findings or conclusions directly on this point. However, the court did find that the mitigation specialist, Barb Bumpus, had never worked on a capital case and was not qualified to do so; the Legal Defender’s Office restricted counsel’s ability to perform mitigation; and counsel had no supervisory authority over mitigation personnel. ¶ 60 Although both Shriver and Sinclair testified that the mitigation specialist was unqualified, defendants do not have a stand-alone right to a mitigation specialist.

Plaintiff speculates that, in denying the summary judgment motion, Judge Duffy merely found that the default judgment did not establish the Bank’s responsibility for Ozman’s actions. Relying heavily on Judge Duffy’s statement that “[t]he default taken establishes nothing,” the Bank argues that Judge Duffy has already ruled that the default judgment cannot be used against the Bank. In addition, the Bank argues that a default judgment, as a matter of law, has no effect on a co-defendant. Finally, arguing that it has been prejudiced by Ozman’s actions, the Bank argues that the default judgment is not admissible because it is irrelevant hearsay. But see Zaken v. Boerer, 964 F.2d 1319, 1323 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 113 S.Ct. 467, 121 L.Ed.2d 375 (1992) ().

The issue has never been framed as a challenge to any specific restrictions in the release plan.

And it is in no way necessary that we resolve this issue in order to address the issue that is properly presented in this case. Thus, we should follow our typical practice of moving the law forward incrementally and wait for a case that requires us to craft a test for determining when specific conditions of release violate due process.

Rather, Smith discusses physical restraints as only one kind of possible restraint a criminal law might impose. Smith, 538 U.S. at 100, 123 S.Ct. 1140. In fact, our society regularly punishes wrongdoers without actually imposing physical restraints on them, most commonly, with criminal fines. And Supreme Court decisions tasked with applying the Mendoza-Martinez factors to ascertain the penal or regulatory nature of a particular sanction have regularly found non-physical sanctions to be affirmative disabilities or restraints. See, e.g., Kurth Ranch, 511 U.S. at 774, 114 S.Ct. 1937 ().

As for the error Knight raises, any question as to whether it is, or ever was, per se reversible was answered by the supreme court in Galindez: Finally, in [Washington v. Recuenco, 548 U.S. 212, 126 S.Ct. 2546, 165 L.Ed.2d 466 (2006) ], the Supreme Court reversed the Washington Supreme Court’s holding that harmless error analysis does not apply to [Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000),] error. Accordingly, to the extent some of our pre-Apprendi decisions may suggest that the failure to submit factual issues to the jury is not subject to harmless error analysis, Re-cuenco has superseded them. See, e.g., State v. Estevez, 753 So.2d 1, 7 (Fla.1999) (); State v.

If a suit requires deep inquiry into military decisions or would strongly impact military discipline, the Feres doctrine will bar it. These considerations that prohibit servicemen’s suits against the government also prompt the extension of the Feres doctrine to prohibit non-servicemen’s suits against the government which are derivative of or ancillary to servicemen’s injuries. See Kendrick v. United States, 877 F.2d 1201, 1206-07 (4th Cir.1989) (); Gaspard v.

State claims remain unexhausted if state proceedings remain pending at the time the petition is filed. Nonetheless, we have held that unjustified delay by a state court in adjudicating a direct criminal appeal may give rise to both a due process violation and relief from the exhaustion requirement itself.

B. The Secretary of Transportation Has Discretion Over Cargo Liability Insurance Although Congress’ aim was to eliminate the separate registration requirements for common and contract carriers, we do not believe that fact is dispositive in this case. Rather, what is most important is the method by which Congress saw fit to implement the Termination Act. With respect to insurance, Congress left it to the Secretary of Transportation’s discretion to require cargo liability insurance. As we have stated, § 13906(a)(3) replaced former § 10927(a)(3) and gave the Secretary discretion over whether “a registered motor carrier,” including carriers once classified as common or contract, must insure cargo.

Though the Legislature could have stated this authority expressly in Chapter 156, its failure to do so is not disposi-tive. The Legislature stated in section 156.401 that trial courts may modify a child-support order under circumstances such as those presented in the case under review.

Objectively viewed, Evans’s claims for her own alleged Hepatitis A and the loss of consortium and emotional distress resulting from her family’s allegedly coming down with the disease could be valued at $75,000 or more. See Stewart, 356 F.3d at 340 (concluding that married couple’s claims for slight “permanent impairment to their total bodily functions” in addition to mental anguish and loss of consortium not worth less than $75,000 per plaintiff); cf.

State v. Roby, 463 N.W.2d 506, 509 (Minn. 1990). Because DeVerney and Greenleaf are unavailable due to their refusal to testify, their statements are necessary. See Byers, 570 N.W.2d at 494. In addition, the same guarantees of trustworthiness that rendered the prior testimony admissible under the catchall exception to the hearsay rule satisfy the requirements of the Confrontation Clause. See Idaho v. Wright, 497 U.S. 805, 822, 110 S.Ct. 3139, 3150, 111 L.Ed.2d 638 (1990) ().

Intervenors’ Standing As noted above, Public Lands Council and American Farm Bureau Federation intervened on behalf of the BLM in the district court and now pursue this appeal. Although the BLM filed a notice of appeal, it subsequently abandoned its appeal. The end result is that Intervenors seek to defend the 2006 Regulations — regulations that the BLM itself no longer seeks to defend. While this situation presents an unusual circumstance, it is not one without precedent, and it is well established that the government is not the only party who has standing to defend the validity of federal regulations. See, e.g., Kootenai Tribe of Idaho v. Veneman, 313 F.3d 1094, 1110 (9th Cir.2002) (); see also Didrickson v.

Defendant therefore argues that the trial court did not err in excluding Dr. Frost’s testimony. I agree. In Purvis, this Court held that an expert’s testimony was properly excluded where the expert’s only knowledge of the locality came four years after the alleged injury. Id. at 480-81, 624 S.E.2d at 385. We r s testimony was properly excluded per Purvis and thus plaintiff has failed to produce sufficient expert testimony to defeat defendant’s motion for a directed verdict, and I would affirm the ruling of the trial court on that ground. 3 . The fact that plaintiff’s expert relied on internet research is not a sufficient ground to exclude an expert’s testimony. See Coffman v. Roberson, 153 N.C.

Under the first rule, a presumption arises that a party who deliberately destroys evidence does so because it is unfavorable to the party’s case. Id. Under the second, the same presumption arises because the party who controls the missing evidence is unable to explain its failure to produce the evidence. Id. at 722. Though we have never expressly adopted these two rules, both derive from our nineteenth-century precedent.

While Fitzwater’s estimate is based on the entire basement square footage, on remand the district court should adjust the damages awarded by: (1) deducting an appropriate amount for the southern portion of the basement deconstruction and remodeling necessitated by the sewer back-ups and not caused by the undisclosed water problem; (2) deducting an appropriate amount for any basement bathroom deconstruction and remodeling; and (3) adjusting the mold remediation damages if the court deems it necessary. These steps will allow the court, while admittedly using some speculation, to arrive at a reasonable approximation of damages. See Metropolitan Transfer, 328 N.W.2d at 538 ().

United States v. Erwin, 155 F.3d 818, 822 (6th Cir.1998). If Jones’s stop of the car was based neither on probable cause to believe that it was involved in a traffic violation nor reasonable suspicion that the occupants were engaged in illegal activity, the ensuing search was illegal and the evidence obtained is inadmissible against Humphrey unless the government can demonstrate that the evidence was obtained independently of the illegal search. See Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 485, 83 S.Ct. 407, 9 L.Ed.2d 441 (1963). Here, if the Defendant was illegally stopped, then the consent obtained was likely a product of that illegal stop and was vitiated. See e.g. United States v.

Moreover, the Board specifically noted that Mr. Lin failed to identify “evidence of record that corroborates” his allegations of physical harm. AR at 4. Mr. Lin produced no evidence other than his own testimony and his November 2010 affidavit suggesting his own past persecution.

He supports this argument with citations to cases involving direct review of removal orders. See, e.g., Pelayo-Garcia v. Holder, 589 F.3d 1010 (9th Cir. 2009). We disagree. First, such an interpretation would require the IJ to inform an alien about relief for which the alien is apparently in eligible during the hearing. It would also require an IJ to give an alien the “opportunity to make application” for relief that was not available “during the hearing.” See § 1240.11(a)(2). This interpretation is plainly illogical and inconsistent with the unambiguous language of § 1240.11(a)(2). See also United States v. Garza-Sanchez, 217 F.3d 806, 810 (9th Cir.2000) ().

These charges also have not been paid by the debtors. Thus, while the debtors have resumed making their monthly payments, it is unquestionable that the debtors remain in default on their obligation. Clearly, there is a factual distinction between Belanger and the instant case. American National Bank contends that this distinction is sufficient to remove the instant ease from the purview of Belanger. The Bank argues that because of the default in this case the debtors must either reaffirm their obligation or redeem the debt in order to retain the collateral under § 521(2). I agree with American National Bank that the holding in Belanger is not directly applicable to the instant case.

Hence, the former serves as a disqualifying conviction under Section 922(g) of the Gun Control Act, whereas the latter does not. The PSP challenges the validity of the trial court’s partial expungement order and places heavy emphasis on the fact that it was not notified of, nor was it a party to, Rush’s expungement proceedings before the trial court.

Rather, the Fourth Amendment claim appears to be simply a repackaged claim for malicious prosecution. Our circuit doesn’t permit, this maneuver; we’ve held that a federal claim for malicious prosecution implicates (or at most may implicate) the right to due process, not the Fourth Amendment, and that no federal malicious-prosecution claim is available if state law provides a similar cause of action. Newsome v. McCabe, 256 F.3d 747, 750-51 (7th Cir. 2001). Indiana does provide a remedy for malicious prosecution, but the Indiana Tort Claims Act confers on public employees a broad immunity' from suit for acts committed within the scope of their employment. Ind. Code § 34-13-3-3(6); see also Serino v. Hensley, 735 F.3d 588, 593-95 (7th Cir. 2013) ().

In this case, the petition for review was filed within 60 days of the Clarification but not within 60 days of the Supplemental Order. Respondent argues that it is timely only as to claims that arose from the Clarification, not as to ones essentially aimed at the Supplemental Order. But the Clarification radically changed the Supplemental Order in a way we have not yet mentioned. In the Supplemental Order the Commission said that it would issue a final decision on the EELs restriction in the Fourth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“FNPRM”), which notice “will occur on or before June 30, 2000.” Supplemental Order, 15 FCC Red 1760 at Comm’n, 720 F.2d 958, 961 (7th Cir.1983) ().

Second, the Court finds Defendant proffered a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for terminating Plaintiffs employment, Plaintiffs repeated performance problems as a Kmart Store Manager, but Plaintiff failed to establish that this reason is merely a pretext for discrimination. Each shortcoming in the Plaintiffs case — his failure to establish a prima facie case and his failure to prove pret en as to three prongs of the prima facie case. He demonstrated he was born in 1950, and so was over age 40 when he was terminated in April 2010. (Complaint ¶ 7). He demonstrated he suffered an adverse employment action, when he was fired as a Kmart Store Manager. And he also presented evidence that he was replaced by two significantly younger employees — first (3d Cir.1995) ().

Judge Finch concluded that the plaintiffs’ had failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits of this claim, because, as FEMA had adequately considered the environmental impact of the housing project and provided for mitigation measures to reduce “to an insignificant level” any adverse effects on the Tree Boa, its Environmental Assessment satisfied NEPA’s requirements. In disposing of plaintiffs’ ESA claims in turn, Judge Finch concluded that FEMA and FWS had conducted an adequate § 7 consultation, as requir d 1396, 1399 (3d Cir.1990) (); Restatement of Judgments, supra, § 20, cmt. ### Response: holding that everything after denial of jurisdiction is dicta pure and simple " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in the law.

Moreover, as discussed below, the Court concludes on the pleadings before it that there is no basis to hold IBM liable under theories of respondeat superior or vicari ous liability for the actions of the John Doe defendant, even if the attacks were actually carried out by an IBM employee or agent. Under District of Columbia law, an employer cannot be held liable for its employees’ intentional conduct solely on the basis of an employer-employee relationship. See Haddon v.

Chase, 9 A.3d at 1256. It is also true, however, that the trial justice assumed, without deciding, an element of a claim in a summary judgment proceeding, which we have held is “consistent with the summary judgment standard of viewing all facts in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, here, [the] plaintiff.” See Daniels v. Fluette, 64 A.3d 302, 305 (R.I.2013). We consistently have agreed with the United States Supreme Court that a plaintiffs burden to establish a prima facie ease of discrimination is “not especially onerous.” See Barros, 710 A.2d at 685; see also St. Mary’s Honor Center v.

The Court leaves this difficult question to the discretion of the Supreme Court, but highlights that the Second and Third Restatement provisions regarding a contractor’s nondelegable duties must be analyzed as a collective scheme which attempts to consolidate the application of these many nuanced and overlapping common law principles. 56 Black’s Law Dictionary, Instrumentality (9th ed. 2009) (“A thing used to achieve an end or purpose.”). 57 Restatement (Second) of Torts § 428 cmt. a (emphasis added). 58 See Reith, 22 Ill.

The Sellers’ proposed counterclaims seek much greater and varied damages than Premier’s counterclaims. In addition, the facts underpinning Premier’s counterclaims are distinct from those needed to sustain the Sellers’ proposed counterclaims. To allow the Sellers’ amendments now would unfairly obligate the Buyers to defend against these belated counterclaims, causing them to incur significant additional expenses by extending an already protracted discovery period. Given that the trial of this matter is less than two months away, to allow the proposed amendments at this late stage would impose undue hardship on the Buyers. See, e.g., Serrano Medina v.

The PCRA court’s ruling is supported by the record and is free from legal error. As recognized by the PCRA court, appellate courts review a trial court’s ruling on the admissibility of evidence for an abuse of discretion. Commonwealth v. Dillon, 592 Pa. 351, 925 A.2d 131, 136 (2007). A trial court may exclude evidence that is irrelevant to the issues presented.

The plaintiffs do not argue that their negligence claim falls into one of the three recognized exceptions, but they attempt to fashion a duty from the note-and-mortgage contract, from common law, and from GMAC Mortgage’s obligations under RES-PA. See PI. Reply Br. 8-15. However, each duty that the plaintiffs identify has its root in the note-and-mortgage contract itself. No matter GMAC Mortgage’s failings, the contract itself cannot give rise to an extra-contractual duty without some showing of a fiduciary relationship between the parties. See Judd v.

In identifying the conduct of the first attorney and the investigator as a basis of its order, the circuit court implicitly found that an attorney-client relationship, or some other fiduciary relation, existed between Stender and her first attorney and that the relationship included representation with respect to the accident.

Further, the complained-of acts that allegedly caused the decedent’s emotional distress and pain and suffering took place prior to his death, and the decedent eould have filed an FHA claim before he died. Even in the “unusual” event where the emotional distress and pain and suffering occurred at a time close to his death, following the Eleventh Circuit’s reasoning in Estate of Gilliam, the Court finds that the operation of Florida’s survival law to preclude recovery for the decedent’s pain and suffering and emotional distress under'the FHA in this case is not inconsistent with the purposes of the FHA, which is remedial in nature.

The rental contract stated that no other drivers were permitted. Ramirez was injured when Roach struck her with the rental car and she obtained a default judgment against him. Ramirez then sued State Farm in an attempt to recover the judgment. Ramirez first contends that the district court erred in holding that the rental car was not a “temporary substitute car” covered by the policy. A “temporary substitute car” as defined in the policy is a car replacing a car that is unable to be used. This rental car was intended to be an additional car to serve the convenience of the renter. It was not a “temporary substitute car” within the meaning of the policy. See State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. O’Brien, 14 Cal.3d 96, 98-99, 120 Cal.Rptr. 692, 534 P.2d 388 (1975) ().

The Disciplinary Panel adhered to the court’s own rules in denying Mr. Smith readmission. See Mattox, 758 F.2d at 1364 (stating that proper question on appeal is “whether the district court has adhered to its own rules”). Mr. Smith has not been reinstated to the Colorado Supreme Court and his membership in that bar is required before he can be reinstated to the district court’s bar. The district court therefore did not abuse its discretion in denying his petition for reinstatement. Cf. In re Kandekore, 460 F.3d 276, 280 (2d Cir.2006) (per curiam) ().

Since jurisdiction under the UCCJEA is exclusive and continuing, the courts of North Carolina still had jurisdiction over H.D. to enter an order terminating respondent’s parental rights, even though H.D. resided in Alabama with the custodial guardians, because the requisites of “substantial connection” jurisdiction pursuant to Section 201 were met.

(Pl.’s Opp’n at 12-13). The Court therefore GRANTS Allstate’s motion to the extent it seeks to preclude Plaintiff from recovering attorney’s fees and costs under the breach of contact claim. (CompLf 14). Plaintiff may, of course, pursue attorney’s fees under his implied covenant claim as permitted by Brandt v. Superior Court, 37 Cal.3d 813, 819, 693 P.2d 796, 800, 210 Cal.Rptr. 211, 215 (1985) (). III. Conclusion and Order For the foregoing ### Response: holding that insured may recover attorneys fees from insurer where insurer acts in bad faith " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: behavior after the accident was due to intoxication and not due to trauma from the accident. Appellant directs us to Officer Trusler’s cross-examination testimony in which the officer testified he was unsure what types of behavioral and neurological problems might be exhibited by someone who had recently been involved in an accident as opposed to someone who was intoxicated. Section 577.010 sets out in pertinent part that “[a] person commits the crime of [DWI] if he operates a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated or drugged condition.” “[A] person is in an ‘intoxicated condition’ when he is under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or drug, or any combination thereof.” § 577.001.2. “ ‘Intox requested sobriety tests.

Additionally, Officer Trusler testified at ### Response: holding that a refusal to perform field sobriety tests was admissible as evidence of intoxication " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the estates would be better off litigating the claims than negotiating their resolution through a plan of reorganization. In fact, the Committee itself recognizes the possibility that “nego tiations might consensually resolve” its challenges. (Bankr. Dkt. No. 2740 at 25). If the motion is granted, the Committee says, the court should not require the proposed amended complaint to be filed right away or by a certain date. The Committee instead asks leave to file the complaint at its discretion—“to potentially avoid unnecessary litigation if it appears its discussions with the parties may yield progress.” (Id.). That the litigation could prove unnecessary given the parties’ settlement discussions is justification enough for the debtors’ not to pursue it. Cf. Caesars, 808 F.3d at 1188-89 (). The debtors’ justification, though, might not ### Response: holding that this court could enjoin litigation in another court if doing so would promote settlement of disputes in these bankruptcy cases " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (reasonable to believe suspect would be at home at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday morning); Edmonds, 52 F.3d at 1248 (entry at 6:45 a.m. was “early enough that it was unlikely someone living in the apartment would have already departed for the day”); Anderson, 104 F.3d 367, 1996 WL 731244 (“the officers came to the home at 8:45 p.m., on a cold, snowy evening, a time when a person would reasonably be expected to be at home”); observing the operation of lights or other electrical devices, Route, 104 F.3d at 63 (officers heard television set left on inside residence after third person left residence); Magluta, 44 F.3d at 1538 (observations that “the lawn was manicured and a porch light was on” gave “no indication that Magluta departed, such as for work or the like”); Morehead, 959 F.2d at 1496 (); and the circumstances of a suspect’s ### Response: holding that an illuminated light provided a reasonable basis for officers to believe the subject of an arrest warrant was within the building " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988, ""an appropriate ad justment for delay in payment-whether by the application of current rather than historic hourly rates or otherwise” is permissible. 491 U.S. 274, 283-84, 109 S.Ct. 2463, 105 L.Ed.2d 229 (1989). The Seventh Circuit in Brandt v. Schal Assoc., Inc. upheld a district court’s award of interest on attorney’s fees for the ""delay factor” and affirmed the district court’s holding that awarding delay damages does not violate Cooter & Gell v. Hartmarx Corp. 960 F.2d 640, 645, 649 (7th Cir.1992) (citing 496 U.S. 384, 110 S.Ct. 2447, 110 L.Ed.2d 359 (1990)). 171 . The FDIC disputes that it acted as a receiver here. See supra note 158. 172 .

As the medical examiner testified that the basis for her time-of-death estimation was her investigator’s liv-idity test, she clearly set forth the facts or data on which her opinion was based, and an objection grounded on Pa.R.E. 705 would have been futile. Further, to the extent the PCRA court found counsel ineffective for failing to challenge the time-of-death testimony as speculative because it was based on the investigator’s notes, we find such legal conclusion to be in conflict with our ruling on direct appeal. See Elliott, 700 A.2d at 1252 (). Thus, there is no arguable merit to a claim ### Response: holding that it was proper for the medical examiner to estimate the victims time of death based on the results of her investigators lividity test as it was standard procedure for her to rely on tests performed by members of her office " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: elements of these “independent torts.” Koffman, 574 S.E.2d at 261. The Court explained that the “tort of assault consists of an act intended to cause either harmful or offensive contact with another person or apprehension of such contact, and that creates in that other person’s mind a reasonable apprehension of an imminent battery.” Id. The Court defined the tort of battery as “an unwanted touching which is neither consented to, excused, nor justified.” Id. In moving for summary judgment with respect to these claims, the Sheriffs Office defendants argue that the deputies’ actions were justified in light of the circumstances that they faced in this case, and thus, that the claims for assault and battery are without merit. See, e.g., McLenagan v. Karnes, 27 F.3d 1002, 1009 (4th Cir.1994) (). In response to the defendants’ motion, the ### Response: holding that the plaintiffs claims for assault and battery were patently without merit since the officers actions under the circumstances were justified " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Castillo-Rodríguez, 23 F.3d 576, 581 (1st Cir.1994); the nonmovant has a “corresponding obligation to offer the court more than steamy rhetoric and bare conclusions.” Lawton v.

Furthermore, “the nonmovant must ‘produce specific facts, in suitable evidentiary form’ sufficient to limn a trial-worthy issue.... Failure to do so allows the summary judgment engine to operate at full throttle.” Id.; see also Kelly v. United States, 924 F.2d 355, 358 (1st Cir.1991) (warning that “the decision to sit idly by and allow the summary judgment proponent to configure the record is likely to prove fraught with consequence.”); Medina-Muñoz, 896 F.2d at 8, (quoting Mack v.

Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984)). Counsel is presumed to be competent; ""[iJsolated poor strategy, inexperience, or bad tactics do not necessarily amount to ineffectiveness of counsel."" Id. Defendant first argues that defense counsel's performance was deficient when he failed to object to Jacob's testimony concerning Tanelle's Fourth of July statements. Defendant argues that this could not have been a strategy decision, since defense counsel already had objected to Darlene's testimony on the same topic. However, since the objection to Darlene's testimony already had been overruled, we cannot say that failure to object once again was deficient performance. See Drake v. State, 563 N.E.2d 1286, 1290 (Ind.1990) ().

Nor are the District and taxing entities attempting to assess taxes on property within the federal enclave that constitutes the Depot. Those aspects of a “state” within the federal system of these United States are not implicated. The tax is assessed solely on inventory while it is located on Aviall’s private property at its distribution center in Irving, Texas. See Tex. Tax Code Ann. §§ 11.01, 23.01, 32.01 (Vernon 2008). Moreover, Aviall’s interpretation would reverse the long-standing rule to strictly construe tax exemptions against the taxpayer. See River Oaks Garden Club v. City of Houston, 370 S.W.2d 851, 854 (Tex.1963); ICAN Enter., Inc. v. Williamson County Appraisal Dist., No. 03-06-00594, 2009 WL 1025084, *3 (Tex.App.Austin April 17, 2009, pet. denied) ().

Overton’s posteonvietion counsel conceded that these were purely legal issues that did not require an evidentiary hearing. Moreover, as previously developed, no prejudice resulted from the introduction of the burglary charge, which the trial court correctly recognized in denying the evidentiary hearing. Additionally, the claim that Overton’s death sentences violated Ring was clearly without merit because this Court has previously held that Ring cannot receive retroactive application. See Johnson v. State, 904 So.2d 400, 412 (Fla.2005) (). Thus, these claims were legally insufficient ### Response: holding that ring does not apply retroactively in florida postconviction proceedings to cases that were final on direct review at the time of the ring decision " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of the Debtor’s bad acts does not mandate that this Court restrict the scope of its findings. In determining whether appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee was warranted, this Court was required to consider the totality of the circumstances. Each of the findings contained in the Trustee Order were relevant to this Court’s determination that the Debtor’s conduct manifested the extreme circumstances that are a prerequisite to appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee pursuant to both § 1104(a)(1) and § 1104(a)(2). Accordingly, this Court believes that its decision to include all of its relevant findings, rather than some subset, does not constitute indisputable error. The Debtor’s appeal to equity is without merit. See, e.g., In re Combustion Engineering, Inc., 391 F.3d 190 (3d Cir.2004) ().

See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 161.001(1)(E). a. Placing and Allowing RA. to Remain with Akin For the same reasons detailed in our analysis of section D, we conclude the evidence supports the trial court’s determination that Jordan’s voluntary and knowing placement of R.A. with Akin and her voluntary and knowing decision to allow R.A. to remain with Akin by opting not to use earnest efforts until after September 2007 to regain custody of R.A., endangered the physical and emotional well-being of R.A.

Plaintiffs contend that DHS’s discipline policies entitled them to due process protection and that Arkansas has waived its sovereign immunity to ADEA suits. After reviewing the relevant discipline policies, we agree with the District Court that they did not alter plaintiffs’ at-will employment status to create property interests in their jobs. See Singleton v. Cecil, 176 F.3d 419, 424-25 & n. 6 (8th Cir.) (finding that an at-will employee has no property interest in job), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 966, 120 S.Ct. 402, 145 L.Ed.2d 313 (1999); Ball v. Ark. Dep’t of Cmty.

However, in context it is clear Matlock intends this reference to demonstrate that imposing any such restrictions constitutes a significant deprivation of liberty. Matlock makes no argument that the breadth of the release conditions somehow violates due process. Correspondingly, he offers this court no guidance as to the parameters of release that would satisfy due process. State v. Iowa Dist. Ct., 828 N.W.2d 607, 619 (Iowa 2013) (Appel, J., dissenting) ().

To support its argument, defendant quotes 28 U.S.C. § 1495: “ ‘[t]he United States Court of Federal Claims shall have jurisdiction to render judgment upon any claim for damages by any person unjustly convicted of an offense against the United States and imprisoned.’ ” Id. (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 1495). Defendant then states that “[f]or the Court of Federal Claims to have jurisdiction pursuant to [Section 1495, a plaintiff must allege that his conviction has been reversed or set aside for one of the reasons listed in [Section] 2513.” Def.’s Mot. 4 (citing Salman v.

Jones, 932 So.2d at 1105 (emphasis added). Vallejos improperly relies on Jones because Jones dealt with waiving the right to pursue an action under an intentional tort theory. All Jones means for Vallejos is that he can still pursue a civil action based upon an exception to the exclusivity of the workers’ compensation statute because none of those claims were litigated in the workers’ compensation case. See Petro Stopping Ctrs., L.P. v.

Because the Ohrt-Heinold No. 1 Well was the only well in the unit, if appellants had prevailed on their claims seeking cancellation of the unit, appellants would have received all royalties from that well, and other unit lessors, including the McAdams and Chilcoats, would be entitled to no royalties on the Unit’s production from the well. Appellees further assert that the evidence showed that the Ohrt-Heinold Well was draining gas from under the McAdams’ and Chilcoats’ lands, entitling them to a share of the production from the well. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing joinder of the third-party defendants. See Royal Petroleum Corp., 332 S.W.2d at 316-17 (); Veal v.

See Ross, 487 U.S. at 88, 108 S.Ct. 2273. The deprivation that remains in this cireumstance is the loss of the peremptory challenge.

Neuendorf, 509 N.W.2d 743, 746 (Iowa 1993). 1 25 Second, in Novotny, the court appears to have regarded the error at issue in a case such as this as the deprivation of a peremptory challenge. See Novotny, I 14 (referring to the ""erroneous ruling on a challenge for cause adversely impacting the defendafit’s ability to shape the jury through peremptory challenges""), 122 (same), 128 (referring to the ""violation of our statutes and rules prescribing the use of peremptory challenges""), 1 27 ().

Id. Most importantly, however, Hatcher did not present a timely, cognizable claim in his habeas petition. Because he presented an untimely claim, no purpose would be served by inquiring into the defaulted claim by way of an evidentiary hearing. The judgment of the District Court is affirmed. 1 . The Honorable Warren K. Urbom, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska. 2 . Nor did Hatcher's 1997 federal habeas petition toll the limitation period for his 1999 petition.

In re Int’l Nutronics, Inc., 28 F.3d 965, 969 (9th Cir.1994). The doctrine bars all grounds for recovery that could have been asserted, regardless of whether they actually were asserted, during the prior action. Id. Defendant MTC argues that the present suit is barred by res judicata because of this Court’s final judgment in the Sierra Club/CBE litigation. See Citizens for a Better Env’t v. Wilson, No. C89-2044 TEH, Judgment (N.D.Cal. Aug. 27, 1992). The Court was a court of competent jurisdiction, thereby satisfying the first res ju-dicata requirement. CBE I, 731 F.Supp. at 1454-58 ().

Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court did not err in awarding McElroy a fee from the proceeds derived from the wrongful-death claim. Rodgers also argues that the fee of $15,750 that the trial court awarded to McElroy was excessive. The fee is 9% of the $175,000 in wrongful-death proceeds collected. Rodgers did not file a post-judgment motion challenging the amount of the award. “The long-established precedent in Alabama caselaw is that an appellate court cannot reverse a trial court’s judgment on an argument that was not first presented to the trial court.

Nor do we believe that the “except as otherwise provided” language is so “incorporated with the language describing and defining the offense” that all other potential exceptions or exemptions become elements of the offense. In light of the Segovia decision, and the subsequent enactment of I.C. § 37-2745, we deem it clear the Legislature intended that absence of an “exemption or exception,” such as a “valid prescription” or other “authority” to deliver, shall not be an element of the crime of possession or delivery of a controlled substance. Rather, the existence of a valid prescription or other “exemption or exception” must be placed in issue by the accused. Compare, e.g., State v. Huggins, 105 Idaho 43, 665 P.2d 1053 (1983) ().

Id. at 791-92. Bound by that precedent, we affirm Johnson’s conviction on Count Five. For similar reasons, we hold that the jury instructions regarding Count Five adequately reflected the law as set forth in Salas-Camacho and, therefore, were not erroneous. The prosecutor’s statements in closing argument regarding the officers’ lack of motivation to lie constituted improper vouching. See United States v. Combs, 379 F.3d 564, 574-76 (9th Cir.2004) ().

In a case like this, where Lee is asserting that he never had a gun on the day in question, it is important to know that he had a personal motivation to possess a gun. Indeed, someone who is involved in an ongoing feud — a feud during which guns have been used — is far more likely to have a gun in his possession than someone who is not involved in such a feud.

Although a jury determined the issue of mental retardation in this case, it is important to note at the outset that a jury determination of mental retardation is not required. See Schriro v.

The primary issue in this case is whether Murkeldove and the Vinning Plaintiffs incurred fees as contemplated by the EAJA. Here, the parties entered into contingency-fee agreements with their attorneys for the payment of an EAJA award. Thus, as a threshold matter, we must determine whether contingency-fee agreements are allowed under the EAJA. The Commissioner and Plaintiffs agree that Plaintiffs have incurred fees, and our analysis in United States v. Claro, 579 F.3d 452 (5th Cir.2009), supports this determination. The plaintiff in Claro sought attorney’s fees and expenses pursuant to the Hyde Amendment, which incorporates the requirements articulated in section 2412 4th Cir.1992) (); Phillips v. Gen.

The district court permitted only seven of the nine Logan skycaps to pursue both theo fies at trial. During discovery, two skycaps asserted their privilege against self-incrimination to withhold their tax records; those two skycaps were precluded from presenting evidence of damages that would have been required to make out a claim for tortious interference. The district court also made clear to the jury that no duplicative recovery would be permitted for skycaps who prevailed on both theories. 3 . See Brown v.

To date, the English Judgment remains unsatisfied, and led to the instant matter. On March 8, 2002, Lloyd’s filed its Complaint in this Court, seeking enforcement of the English Judgment against Mullin. Lloyd’s moved for summary judgment thereafter, and the motion is now ripe for a decision. This Court’s jurisdiction is premised on diversity of citizenship, and Pennsylvania law governs.

In these circumstances, where plaintiff cannot demonstrate compliance with the procedural requirements precedent to a valid mortgage foreclosure action, a conclusion to the contrary in respect of the applicability of the doctrine of laches lacks rationality, inexplicably departs from established policies, and rests, therefore, on an impermissible basis. Thus, despite the deference rightly owed to the Chancery Division in this context, its decision cannot be sustained. See, e.g., Assoulin v. Sugarman, 159 N.J.Super. 393, 397, 388 A.2d 260 (App.Div.1978) (); Orange Land Co. v.

However, at sentencing the government sought a two-point enhancement for obstruction of justice based upon McKnight’s alleged attempt to convince a co-defendant to withdraw his guilty plea. This particular claim was not included voluntarily pleaded guilty to the charge, and that he failed to show a “fair and just” reason for withdrawal of his guilty plea. See United States v.

Similarly, Williams’ holding is inapposite in the context of the reasonable relationship inquiry. Williams mandates that juries receive proper instruction on harm to nonparties, an instruction that is essential if the jury is to calculate the proper amount of punitive damages. But the reasonable relationship inquiry is markedly different from the jury’s determination of a specific amount of punitive damages; its purpose is to aid in ascertaining the constitutional ceiling. Unlike the initial damage calculation, determining the constitutional ceiling on a punitive damage award is a question of law, properly reserved for the court. See Bains LLC v. Arco Prods. Co., 405 F.3d 764, 777 (9th Cir.2005) ().

Accordingly, the court limits its analysis of Plaintiffs' claim for rescission to the allegation that the required copies of the notice of their right to rescind were not provided. 9 . Courts are split over whether a borrower can recover damages and attorney's fees against an assignee who fails to honor a valid rescission notice. Compare Brodo v. Bankers Trust Co., 847 F.Supp. 353, 359 (E.D.Pa.1994) (""Neither § 1641 nor any other section provides for a statutory penalty or an award of attorney’s fees to a plaintiff should an assignee fail to respond to a valid rescission notice.

Mesdaq did not file a motion seeking determination or redetermination of the deposit amount under section 1255.030, subdivision (a). Immediately prior to trial, the court determined that the date of trial, not the statutorily determined date of deposit, would be the date of valuation. The court reasoned rising property values and delays in concluding the proceedings necessitated a later valuation date to enforce the constitutional mandate of just compensation, citing Saratoga Fire Protection Dist. v. Hackett (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 895, 905-906 [118 Cal.Rptr.2d 696] ().

We uphold the district court’s deficiency findings for 1993 through 1996, and its penalty finding for 1992, because the government submitted Forms 4340 in support of these determinations, see Hughes, 953 F.2d at 535 (), and the Collinses did not produce evidence ### Response: holding that official certificates such as forms 4340 can constitute proof of the fact that the assessments were actually and properly made " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Blackstone’s Commentaries make clear that the legislature could compel a property owner to give up his property but only “by giving him full indemnification and equivalent for the injury thereby sustained.” 1 William Blackstone, Commentaries at 139. {44} The New Mexico Constitution addresses the power of eminent domain in two provisions. Article II, Section 18 provides that “[n]o person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law,” and Article II, Section 20 provides that “[pjrivate property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation.” The “or damaged” provision of Section 20 serves to allow compensation even when an actual taking has not occurred.

Commonwealth v. Matthews, 406 Mass. 380, 548 N.E.2d 843, 848 (1990) (considering exclusion of “suburban parents” and “caretakers of adolescent children”). Other courts have skipped the distinctive-group analysis and have simply held the government had a legitimate reason to exclude the occupational group under consideration. E.g., United States v.

In State v. Casaretto, 818 S.W.2d 313 (Mo.App.1991), the court, referring to § 547-200.2, said: Double jeopardy is an issue which is always raised 98 S.Ct. 2187, 2198, 57 L.Ed.2d 65, 79 (1978), the court held that a defendant who, after the introduction of evidence, deliberately chooses to seek termination of the proceedings against him by a motion to dismiss, unrelated to factual guilt or innocence, suffers no injury cognizable under the Double Jeopardy Clause if the State is permitted to appeal and seek reversal of the dismissal. See also United States v. Kehoe, 516 F.2d 78, 86 (5th Cir.1975) ().

Kays, 893 F.2d 1225 (11 Cir.1990); Matter of Guglielmo, 897 F.2d 58 (2 Cir.1990). In this regard, the operation of a motorized jet ski, like a small motor boat, sufficiently implicates traditional maritime activities. Foremost, supra, 457 U.S. at 676, 102 S.Ct. at 2659. As plaintiffs' complaint essentially alleges that decedent was killed as a result of “a collision between two vessels on navigable waters ...

The fact that the co-conspirators agreed to a plan that did not involve carjacking or abduction does not preclude the district court from finding that carjacking and abduction were reasonably foreseeable if “the original plan went awry” and the police became involved.

The question remains, however, whether the government violated the plea agreement when it introduced evidence at trial that Garton was carrying firearms when he was pulled over in Rawlins. Both Officer Ford and Officer Palmer testified about the Rawlins traffic stop, and the firearms themselves were introduced into evidence. A review of the rec ord reveals this evidence was offered to prove that Garton engaged in drug trafficking activities and that he carried a firearm during and in relation to those activities. See United States v. Martinez, 938 F.2d 1078, 1083 (10th Cir.1991) ().

We have considered all of Baldwin’s remaining arguments and find them to be without merit. For the foregoing reasons the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 1 . Because Goddard did not raise the issue as a defense to Baldwin's claim under Title VII, we do not address whether opposition to housing discrimination qualifies as protected activity for a Title VII retaliation claim. See 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2, 20000e-3 (prohibiting retaliation for opposition to employment practices made unlawful by Title VII); of. Wimmer v. Suffolk Cty.

Locurto, 157 N.J. 463, 471, 724 A.2d 234 (1999), an appellate court may not “engage in an independent assessment of the evidence as if it were the court of first instance.” We frequently have observed that findings of fact made by a trial judge “are considered binding on appeal when supported by adequate, substantial and credible evidence,” Rova Farms Resort, Inc. v. Investors Ins. Co., 65 N.J. 474, 484, 323 A.2d 495 (1974), and that standard is equally applicable to reviews of administrative decisions, see Close, supra, 44 N.J. at 599, 210 A.2d 753 ().

Without jurisdiction to act, the orders and judgment of the court are void ab initio. Id. at 521. “In order for the trial court to have jurisdiction in these contempt proceedings, personal service upon [defendant] under the provisions of SDCL 15-6-4 was mandatory.

Reasonable probability of a different result means a probability “sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.” Id. at 1299 (citation and punctuation omitted). Under the fourth prong, we consider the plain error’s affect on the judicial proceedings and look for such factors as the district judge’s express desire to impose a sentence different than that imposed. Shelton, 400 F.3d at 1333-34. We have consistently held that a sentence even at the low end of the guideline range, standing alone, is insufficient to carry a defendant’s burden demonstrating a reasonable probability of a lesser sentence under advisory guidelines.

The petitioners objected to 38 C.F.R. § 3.159(b) on the ground that it was inconsistent with section 5103(a), in part because it did not require VA to provide specific notice to claimants. Paralyzed Veterans, 345 F.3d at 1347. In refusing to hold the regulation invalid for this reason, we stated that “the regulation is clearly consistent with the statute, and its requirements are both reasonable and sufficient.” Id. at 1348. Finally, while we think that section 5103(a) must be interpreted as requiring only generic notice at the outset, even if the statute were ambiguous, we would be required to defer to the VA’s interpretation under Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 843-44, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984) ().

Ferguson, 111 S.W.3d 589, 598 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2003, pet. denied). B. Whether Valentina’s petition has a basis in law and fact In her petition, Valentina conceded that she signed the settlement agreement and that the agreement granted McCulloch the ability to sell the homestead. Even a liberal construction of the petition demonstrates that Valentina’s request to enjoin the sale of her homestead has no basis in law or in fact because the petition acknowledges that she signed an agreement permitting the sale, and it does not ask the court to revoke that agreement. Therefore, a rule of law (waiver) bars Valentina’s cause of action to enjoin the sale, and the facts pleaded refute that cause of action. See, e.g., In re Essex Ins. Co., 450 S.W.3d 524, 527 (Tex.2014) (per curiam) (); Dailey v.

We agree with this reasoning and hold that, for purposes of 1.C. § 5-14-38-4(a)(8), FERPA is a federal law which requires education records to be kept confidential. See also U.S. v. Miami Univ., 294 F.3d 797, 809 (6th Cir.2002) (noting that onee federal funding and the conditions of FERPA are accepted by a school, the school is ""indeed prohibited"" from systematic non-consensual release of education records).

The majority goes on, however, to conclude that the order of the first circuit court (the court) “to pay ten percent of his gross income satisfies the [restitution] requirement better than ordering [Defendant] to pay specific monthly payments[,]” majority opinion at 15, because “[depending on [Defendant’s] income, a specific monthly payment could be too much or too little.” Id. I respectfully disagree. First, I think it is premature to determine whether the percentage method of payment is “reasonable” until after the court has sufficiently determined whether Defendant can actually pay $20,000 in restitution.

But the analogy does not fit.”). Whether the Court can find a more fitting analogy is beside the point: both precedent and the statute itself direct us to treat much of the process as we would a civil trial, and “an order vacating an arbitration award and directing a rehearing is the functional equivalent of an order granting a new trial.” Stolhandske, 14 S.W.3d at 814; see also Bison Bldg.

A.R.S. § 6-702(9)(f). If, as JHass argues, the phrase “receiving money,” as it is used in § 6-701(4) means “taking actual possession of,” then this exemption would be redundant; bill paying service providers who merely control, but do not actually possess, debtors’ funds would not constitute debt management companies within the language of § 6-701(4) and would not require a license to operate anyway. Likewise, if the legislature intended “receiving” to mean only actual physical possession, then presumably it would have used “receiving money” in § 6-702(9)(f), or it would have used “take physical possession” in § 6-701(4) to create a mirror image of the rule and the exception.

Petitioner does not make any argument as to whether testimony about the messages are hearsay or whether this testimony would be admissible under an exception. Rather, Petitioner focuses his discussion on the allegation that the Complainant’s testimony was inadmissible hearsay because the Complainant read aloud from an inadmissible police report about the messages. Respondent also does not address whether the testimony about the text messages is hearsay. Momentarily setting aside the issue of whether the Complainant testified from her memory or from a verbatim reading of the police report, in general, testimony about the text messages is hearsay. If evidence is hearsay, then testimony about the evidence is also hearsay. See Bueno v. State, 677 S.W.2d 261, 265 (Tex.Ct.App.1984) ().

Barker filed her original answer forty-five, days after Hendricks filed his original petition, and nine days after that, she moved to disqualify Proctor. The motion was filed well in advance of discovery, and it cannot be characterized as a dilatory trial tactic. See EPIC Holdings, 985 S.W.2d at 52-53 (concluding that the delay in filing the motion to disqualify was not prejudicial because “almost no discovery” had been conducted at the time of filing); Spears v.

However, the summary, when considered alone, gives voters the impression that a first-time offender who committed two qualifying offenses as the result of a single criminal episode (e.g., a defendant charged with possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia resulting from a single lawful search of her pocket), would only qualify once for treatment under this amendment. Thus, the summary’s use of “first two offenses” does not accurately describe the wide scope of the amendment’s text.

These claims were previously rejected by Judge Turner. See United States v. Gurley, No. 93-2775-TUA, slip, op. at 5-6. As a result, Gurley is es-topped from arguing these same claims a second time. Moreover, even if Gurley was not estopped, the EPA has the authority to seek information from Gurley even if the EPA already possessed-from other sources-some of the information it was seeking from Gurley.

Oregon law makes no special exception relieving manufacturers from punitive damages if they issue product warnings. Second, Crown refers us to evidence properly excluded by the district court at trial, such as the military specifications and independent engineering reports. The jury cannot be said to have reached an erroneous verdict because of evidence that was not before it at trial. Evidence not admitted at trial cannot be used in a review of the district court’s denial of judgment as a matter of law. Elbert v. Howmedica, Inc., 143 F.3d 1208, 1209 (9th Cir.1998) ().

The district court properly dismissed Hayes’ Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and Rehabilitation Act (“RA”) claims against defendants in their individual capacities because Title II of the ADA and Section 504 of the RA do not authorize claims against State officials in their individual capacities.

Cf. Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1, 139, 96 S.Ct. 612, 46 L.Ed.2d 659 (1976) (“Legislative power, as distinguished from executive power, is the authority to make laws, but not to enforce them or appoint the agents charged with the duty of such enforcement.

Specifically, Appellees challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the second two elements of joint enterprise: (3) a community of pecuniary interest in the common purpose of the enterprise among the members; and (4) an equal right to a voice in the direction of the enterprise, which gives an equal right of control. The Texas Supreme Court has addressed legal sufficiency challenges to the third element, the eommunity-of-pecuni-ary-inter est-in-the-common-purpose-of-the-enterprise element, of a jury’s joint enterprise finding in several cases.

The delegation clause appears on the eleventh page of a form agreement, without a separate header or any other indicator (e.g., bold or relatively larger typeface) that would call a reader’s attention to the provision. Put simply, Gillette and other drivers would have no reason to know or suspect that arbitrability would be decided by an arbitrator under the 2013 Agreement. Thus, the delegation clause specifically is procedurally unconscionable. 2. Substantive Unconscionability Substantive unconscionability arises when a provision is overly harsh, unduly oppressive, so one-sided as to shock the conscience, or unfairly one-sided.

Michael’s argument that the circuit court’s award of permanent alimony should be reversed “as a matter of law” is not well taken. While Michael is correct that there is no such animal as “permanent” alimony, the nomenclature employed by the circuit court does not constitute error. As set forth in the case above, “permanent”—or as in the present case “lifetime”—alimony is just another way of saying that the circuit court has chosen not to limit the amount of time a spouse should receive alimony. We find no error, and we affirm. Michael also contests the amount of the alimony award: Our court has never reviewed an award of alimony solely on a mathematical-formula analysis. Kuchmas v. Kuchmas, 368 Ark. 48, 46, 243 S.W.3d 270, 272 (2006) ().

Abdullahi III, 2005 WL 1870811, at *15. Having found that they had not, it concluded that Nigeria was an adequate forum. Id. at *16-18. In so doing, the district court omitted an analysis of whether Pfizer discharged its burden of persuading the court as to the adequacy and present availability of the Nigerian forum and improperly placed on plaintiffs the burden of proving that the alternative forum is inadequate.

Following Russell, the Sixth Circuit has provided that, pursuant to Section 502(a)(2), participants [and beneficiaries] are authorized to sue on behalf of a plan for breach of fiduciary duty and “[p]ermit-ting such suits ... is the mechanism which Congress established to enforce the plan’s right to recover for a breach of fiduciary duty.” Smith v. Provident Bank, 170 F.3d 609, 616 (6th Cir.1999). Thus ERISA grants four categories of plaintiffs the right to sue a fiduciary of an ERISA plan, on behalf of the plan, for injuries incurred by the plan due to a breach of the fiduciary’s ERISA duties, regardless of whether the plaintiff individually suffered any injury as a result of the breach.

Rhoten’s testimony would have indicated that Helen had admitted to sexual intercourse with her boyfriend, but falsely claimed it was nonconsensual. Defendant, however, claimed that Helen made up claims that they had had sexual intercourse in order to retaliate against him. Thus, in one instance, Helen was covering up consensual intercourse with her boyfriend, while, in the other, she was alleged to have been lying about intercourse with her stepfather. Because of the different circumstances, the trial court could reasonably determine that Rhoten’s testimony was not highly probative when compared to the potential for unfair prejudice if the jury perceived Helen as promiscuous.

The operative question here — whether Nash’s conviction was an adult conviction — was simply not addressed in Orlando-Mena. Admittedly, the court did take a somewhat more holistic approach to analyzing the nature of the conviction, which, at least in part, considered the nature of the sentence. This is consistent with Second Circuit precedent. See United States v. Cuello, 357 F.3d 162, 168-69 (2d Cir.2004) (considering the “substance” of the prior youthful offender adjudication for the purposes of U.S.S.G. § 2K2.1 and concluding it constituted an “adult conviction” because “defendant was indisputably tried and convicted in an adult forum, and [ ] defendant served his sentence in an adult prison”); United States v.

The NFL asserts that the Supreme Court’s holding in Copperweld Corp. v. Independence Tube Corp., 467 U.S. 752, 104 S.Ct. 2731, 81 L.Ed.2d 628 (1984), controls the facts of this case and overturns prior caselaw holding that NFL clubs do not constitute a single enterprise but rather, are separate entities which were capable of conspiring with each other under § 1. See L.A. Coliseum, 726 F.2d at 1387-90; NASL, 670 F.2d at 1256-58. We do not agree that Copperweld, which found a corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary to be a single enterprise for purposes of § 1, Copperweld, 467 U.S. at 771, 104 S.Ct. at 2741, applies to the facts of this case or affects the prior precedent concerning the NFL.

This is especially true given that the evidence did not exist at the time of White’s sentencing, so there is no argument that it would have been included but for some constitutional defect. Finally, this evidence would not satisfy the elevated Schlup standard, even if it were to be admissible. See, e.g., Hughes v. State, 897 S.W.2d 285, 294 & n. 13 (Tex.Crim.App.1994) ().

See Hometown Fin., Inc. v. United States, 409 F.3d 1360 (Fed.Cir.2005). The Federal Circuit in Hometown recognized that a similar provision in a forbearance letter “clearly sets forth the understanding of the parties that regulatory change was possible because it refers to calculating the [regulatory capital] requirement in accordance with ‘any successor regulation.’ ” Id. at 1367-68. However, a proviso excepted the five-year period following consummation of the acquisition, during which the regulatory capital requirement was required to take into account the forbearances granted.

We have already referenced the multiple crimes committed by Bain and the testimony about their impact on those victims and their families, as well as Bain’s own admissions about his actions. Although the State addressed the impact of the sexual attack on the girl, that aspect of the testimony was not emphasized in closing argument. Under these circumstances, and after our review of the entire record, we conclude the erroneous admission of brief testimony about the impact of Bain’s actions on the child was not of such a nature as to affect the jury’s assessment of punishment. See Lindsay v. State, 102 S.W.3d 223, 229 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.], 2003, pet. filed); Boston, 965 S.W.2d at 550 (). We affirm the judgment. 1 .

V. The appellant’s fifth argument is that he was denied a fair trial because several jurors failed to disclose crucial evidence and because the jury improperly considered extraneous evidence. In relation to this claim, his entire argument in his petition consisted of the following: “During voir dire, several jurors failed to disclose critical evidence, despite unambiguous questioning. Additionally, the jury looked beyond the evidence and testimony presented at trial, and thereby denied Mr. Duncan a fair trial and reliable sentence. “... It has been long-recognized that a defendant is entitled to receive truthful answers from jurors, and when a juror fails to truthfully respond during voir dire, reversible error occurs. See State v.

None of the excerpts of the letters submitted to the Court indicate if the amounts past due are derived from lack of royalty payments by Defendants. However, this is irrelevant in that the termination provision Papa John's relies upon only states three notices of default, not necessarily three notices of default for royalty payments. 3 . Because the ""Without Notice” provision is at Papa John’s discretion, Papa John's may or may not terminate the franchise agreements, and the rights pursuant to such, once three notices of default occur. Once they receive three notices of breach, even if cured,.

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.

At the time, W2E’s most recent SEC filing did not indicate the possible devaluation of the company’s intangible assets and stated only that they were worth over $10 million. After an audit, W2E filed a Form 8-K reporting total impairment of its intangible assets and valuing its total assets at $370,552.

The Federal television Tort Claims Act (FTCA) waives sovereign adenine immunity in specific situations, and the plaintiff bringing an FTCA claim bears the burden of showing his claim falls within such situations. The FTCA also contains a “judgment bar” provision that precludes a plaintiff from bringing additional claims concerning the “same subject matter” as an FTCA claim after a judgment is entered on the FTCA claim. The district court found that King failed to prove one of the sensed six requirements for FTCA to apply, and therefore that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to hear King’s claim against the United States. The court further held that the defendant agents were entitled to qualified immunity and granted summary judgment in their favor. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed, finding the FTCA judgment bar does not preclude King’s remaining claims because the court did not reach the merits of the FTCA claims and that the defendants were not entitled to qualified immunity. ### Response: The winner of this case is Douglas Brownback, et al..
