OPINION/ORDER Vacated that portion of the injunction that prevented the Department from charging the publishers a rental or use fee that was revenue raising. The en banc court also said that the district court should consider any claim the Department might have for fees that it had been enjoined from collecting. The 1996 plan would have governed the placement and allocation among publishers of newsracks in the airport. They were granted a preliminary injunction against its implementation. The preliminary injunction was subsequently clarified. The Department moved to dissolve the preliminary injunction and filed a new plan to be implemented once the injunction was dissolved. While the preliminary injunction was still in force. The district court denied the Department's motion to dissolve the preliminary injunction and declined to consider the 1997 plan because it found that the 1997 4 plan was not properly at issue in the litigation. (2) requiring publishers to pay a fee that was not tied to the Department's costs in administering the newsrack plan but was instead revenue raising. |

OPINION/ORDER Circuit Judge: This case involves two airline pilots who have been charged with violating Florida criminal statutes prohibiting the operation of an aircraft while intoxicated. They assert that the Florida statutes at issue are preempted by federal law. Because we find the preemption claims in the instant case are not facially conclusive. We hold that the district court should have abstained. The pilots were instructed to taxi back to the gate. Whereupon they were interviewed by MiamiDade police officers. Approximately two hours later were taken to a MiamiDade police station where the officers administered breathalyser tests to both appellees. The breathalyser results were 0.084 and 0.081 breath alcohol level for Hughes and 0.091 and 0.090 breath alcohol level for Cloyd. Appellees were subsequently charged with operating an aircraft while intoxicated. Appellees claimed that federal law preempted the Florida state statutes under which appellees were being prosecuted and therefore the district court should. |

Background The Airport is located four miles south of Albuquerque's central business district and is surrounded by residential neighborhoods to the north. The Airport is served by four runways. At the time the Runway 3 21 upgrade was proposed. Runway 8 26 was the primary runway. The other two runways Runway 3 21 and Runway 12 30 were of insufficient width. Which is the proposed action being challenged here. Is closed for reconstruction. 1995 and that remaining aspects of the project were substantially completed on December 17. EA was inadequate because it failed to address the cumulative impacts of the proposed action. We must consider whether Airport Neighbors' appeal is now moot.

OPINION/ORDER Circuit Judge: The question before this Court is which of two competing security interests should be granted priority. Maryland National Bank (later NationsBank) was the first creditor to receive a security interest in the aircraft in exchange for a loan to the Debtors.1 Crestar became the second creditor to receive an interest in the aircraft on February 2. Crestar had forfeited its priority and Blair's interest was now superior to Crestar's. Crestar was not required to refile with the FAA. The sole issue before this Court is a question of law. Was Crestar required under federal and Virginia law to refile with the FAA five years after the day it filed its initial security interest to maintain the priority of its security interest? We conclude that Crestar was not required to refile and affirm the judgment of the district court. Blair argued on appeal that while the perfection of a security interest in an aircraft is governed solely by federal law. The priority of a perfected security interest is governed by state law. |

OPINION/ORDER I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY The Plaintiffs are thirteen aircraft mechanics who were issued airmen certificates pursuant to powers granted by Congress to the FAA. 49 U.S.C. §§ 44702. The FAA was unable to determine which of the mechanics who received their certificates from the implicated school had been fraudulently certified. 000 other mechanics who had been certified at the school during the relevant time period) stating that reexamination of their airmen competency was necessary under 49 U.S.C. § 44709. Requires the FAA to provide each mechanic with an opportunity to be heard as to why he should not have to submit to reexamination. The Plaintiff mechanics maintain that the 3 statutory scheme the FAA relies upon is inapplicable in a case like this. The district court's decision to grant a preliminary injunction is reviewed for abuse of discretion. Its application of law is reviewed de novo. DISCUSSION The outcome of this case is dictated by Supreme Court precedent that the parties never cited to the district court that issued the injunction. |

OPINION/ORDER That prejudgment interest is not allowable under the Warsaw Convention. We hold that prejudgment interest is available under the Warsaw Convention and that the district court properly awarded such interest to make full restitution to the injured party. K&N issued a single air waybill covering the entire shipment and stating that there was no apparent damage to the cargo prior to transport. K&N noted that a portion of the cargo was damaged. Motorola was forced to replace the equipment at a cost of $459. The total weight of the shipment was 12. The weight of the damaged crate was approximately 680 kilograms. The liability limitation would be calculated according to the weight of the entire shipment and not just that of the damaged portion if Motorola proved at trial that the damaged portion of the cargo affected the value of the entire shipment.3 The court left for trial the questions of whether the overall shipment was affected and the extent of damage done to the property. The judge and counsel for all parties signed the order and agreed that certain legal issues were resolved by the summary adjudication order and on both the factual and legal issues to be resolved at trial. |

Given the large number of actors with ties to the helicopter it is unsurprising that there are questions about whether the Utah long arm statute permits personal jurisdiction over Copter Lease. Whether there is personal jurisdiction over Copter Lease in Utah determines. Because we find that Copter Lease is not subject to personal jurisdiction in Utah we also find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining jurisdiction over the declaratory judgment action.

OPINION/ORDER Shortly after this action was filed. Louis airport tower was classified as a level IV facility and the full employment level (maximum pay grade) for a controller there was GS 13. Was classified as a GS 13. Hastings should then have appealed to the Office of Special Counsel. The FAA then amended its motion for summary judgment to include the argument that the case was moot because Hastings had already received the relief he was seeking from the court. Now acknowledges that Hastings is foreclosed from appealing to the Office of Special Counsel to do so. The government will not be heard to argue that the district court lacked jurisdiction due to Hastings's failure to exhaust remedies. We need not examine the administrative appeal process because the case is moot. Which is the only relief Hastings sought from the district court. Hastings argues that the case is not moot because the district court could still award back pay. The Supreme Court held that an award of back pay is not an available remedy for a violation of the Classification Act. |

OPINION/ORDER Were the project not implemented. If MAC were to do so. If Richfield is correct that the project in fact will shift very few flights to the southwest. Where most of the noise never will be. Where most of the noise will remain. Richfield contends that the EIS failed to examine the possibility that full implementation of the project will prove infeasible and that the project thus will have no significant impact at all but rather will leave the status quo essentially unchanged. It is axiomatic that. If a project will not significantly affect the environment. Thus if Richfield is correct that this project will not shift a significant number of flights to the southwest. Then the FAA need not have prepared any EIS. Much less one that exhaustively examines all the reasons why the project will leave the environment unaltered. We conclude that the EIS did not need to examine the factors that Richfield believes will prevent the project from shifting a substantial number of flights to the airport's southwest.2 In a related argument. |

Although discovery need not be complete before a case is dismissed. Summary judgment is proper only if the nonmovant has had adequate time for discovery. Nor any showing that a delay was justified.

OPINION/ORDER This disposition is not citable as precedent. It is a public record. Hatton is a veteran with a service connected disability that makes him eligible for civil service veterans' preferences. The FAA distributed an announcement stating that it had positions open for the job of Air Traffic Control Specialist and that interested applicants were required to take an entry level employment examination. Hatton would have been entitled to have ten extra points added to his examination score because of the veterans' preferences for which he was eligible. The administrative judge to whom the case was assigned dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction based on 49 U.S.C. § 40122(g). Hatton failed to satisfy the requirements of section 40122(g)(3) because he was an applicant. The petition was denied. Hatton argues that the Board has jurisdiction over his appeal because he has satisfied the requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 3330a and because that section is one of the exceptions to the FAA's general exemption from title 5. He is entitled to appeal to the Board under 49 U.S.C. § 40122(g)(3). |

One of the FAA's main concerns was with software development. The FAA did not investigate them further at that time because review of an important contract milestone was scheduled for the next month. It was unable to pass the review when it occurred. Wilcox's score was so low. This contract was awarded on a single source basis. That is. Was not in the best interests of the FAA.

OPINION/ORDER 761.48 made by Debtor to David Huddle and the Bank was an avoidable preferential transfer. The Trustee argues that the bankruptcy court erred in holding that the money paid by Debtor to Huddle and the Bank was held by the Debtor as an agent for its principal. It was therefore not property of the estate which the Trustee could recover under § 547. Background The underlying facts are summarized as follows. Debtor was a corporation in the business of auctioning personal property for its customers. Huddle's business assets were the security for a loan which had been made by the Bank to Huddle. Which was deposited in Debtor's general bank account. Seeking to set aside the payment made by Debtor to the Bank and Huddle on grounds that the payment was an avoidable preferential transfer under 11 U.S.C. § 547(b).2 The Trustee maintained that Huddle was a creditor and the money in dispute was property of the bankruptcy estate which should be distributed in the normal course of the bankruptcy proceedings.

OPINION/ORDER Both Thomas and Guin were in the cockpit piloting the plane. Guin was the flying pilot. Thomas was the nonflying pilot. Guin stated he was lowering the gear and moved the gear handle. Thomas saw the handle was in the down position. When the plane was near landing. Thomas noticed the gear down indicator light was not illuminated. A gear up landing was avoided. Thomas contends 14 C.F.R. § 91.13(a) is unconstitutionally vague and ambiguous as applied to him. Thomas argues there are no duties or responsibilities for acts or omissions of a second pilot on a single pilot aircraft. A regulation is unconstitutionally vague if it fails to give a person of ordinary intelligence a reasonable opportunity to know what is prohibited. The regulation was clear enough to give Thomas notice that any careless conduct on his part was prohibited. Thomas does not challenge the ALJ's finding that he was actively involved in the aircraft's operation. Thomas also argues that even if this was a two pilot operation. He was entitled to rely on Guin's statement that he had lowered the landing gear. |

OPINION/ORDER The Trustee argues that the bankruptcy court erred in holding that the auction proceeds were held by Debtor as an agent for its principal. Therefore the funds were not property of Debtor's estate. We have simultaneously filed an opinion in an appeal from another adversary proceeding arising out of Debtor's bankruptcy filing. Background The underlying facts are summarized as follows. Debtor was a corporation in the business of auctioning personal property for its customers. Debtor deposited the proceeds from the sale in an account at the First National Bank of Omaha (hereinafter the First National account) which Debtor had specifically created for the purpose of holding auction proceeds. 2 The net proceeds from the Natkin auction sale were not remitted to Natkin within ten days after the sale. Since the date on which the proceeds from the Natkin sale were deposited in the First National account. Was $32. The balance in the First National account on the date of Debtor's bankruptcy filing was $45. The bankruptcy court stated that the relationship between an auctioneer and its customer is that of an agent and principal. |

OPINION/ORDER This disposition is not citable as precedent. It is a public record. The condition of the appointment was that Mr. From which he was terminated on May 6. Goss alleged that the Board had jurisdiction because his claim was based on discrimination with respect to his marital status. Goss failed to identify the names of any married or divorced employees that were treated differently than him. Even if the clerk typist position was substantially similar to the electronics worker position. Goss (who is single) did not meet this standard. We have Our scope of review of an appeal from a decision of the Board is limited to whether the Board's decision is arbitrary. Whether the Board has jurisdiction over an appeal is a question of law. The Board's jurisdiction to review adverse personnel actions taken against probationary government employees is extremely narrow. There is no statutory basis for jurisdiction.

OPINION/ORDER 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. Who is not an attorney. Was the only plaintiff to have signed the pleadings and motions. Arzipe claimed that the FAA's selection processes were used during the realignment to discriminate on the basis of race. They were barred under the doctrine of res judicata. An action is barred under res judicata if the parties are identical in both actions. The prior judgment was rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The prior judgment was final on the merits. The court determines whether the claims in this case are based on the same nucleus of operative facts as the claims brought in the prior case. Since these claims arise out of the same nucleus of operative facts as the prior case and the claims could have been brought as part of the prior case. Their relitigation is barred by the transactional test. This argument is frivolous. 3 1 Arizpe also challenges the district court's denial of his motion to order the FAA to reprioritize his job duties so that he could more ably prosecute this case. |

It concluded that the federal statute of limitations applicable to the plaintiffs' claims was not tolled during the pendency of certain state class actions in the California courts. Which were necessarily based on state rather than federal antitrust law. Whether viewed as a question of the time when the plaintiffs reasonably could have discovered that Morgan had anything to do with their injuries or viewed as a question of equitable estoppel and fraudulent concealment. The facts taken in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs could support a finding that their suit was timely. That the plaintiffs' claims against Sumitomo and Global were correctly dismissed. We therefore limit our discussion of the facts (taken for present purposes in the light most favorable to plaintiffs) to those that are of particular relevance.

OPINION/ORDER Judge Hilton dismissed Pueschel's FTCA suit on the bases that it (1) should have been brought under Title VII. (2) was barred. By the doctrine of res judicata because in a prior Title VII action brought by Pueschel the FAA was found not to have discriminated against her on the basis of her gender and work disability or to have retaliated against her for filing prior complaints. (3) failed to state a claim in light of the fact that Virginia employers do not have a common law duty to ensure that their employees are not subjected to sexual harassment and retaliation. Specifically his conclusion that Pueschel was precluded from bringing a Title VII action asserting discrimination and retaliation claims arising out of her FAA employment. Pueschel further contends that she was not afforded an opportunity to respond to the FAA's motion to dismiss her FTCA suit because the district court did not hold a hearing prior to ruling on the FAA's motion. Pueschel argues that Judge Wexler erred by concluding that her Title VII suit was barred by Judge Hilton's dismissal of her FTCA suit. |

The FAA advised Megaflight that the Phoenix design modifications were deficient. TDI pointed out that it is a Florida corporation. It is not authorized to do business in Georgia. Does not have a registered agent for service of process in Georgia. The plaintiffs conceded that TDI's only contact with Georgia was the submission of its application to the FAA's Atlanta. Argued that this contact was sufficient. Plaintiffs' theory is that TDI's disclosure of the Phoenix proprietary modification in its application to the FAA constituted a tort under the Georgia Trade Secrets Act. |

OPINION/ORDER This diversity case presents the following question of law: is a non resident subject to personal jurisdiction under the Georgia long arm statute when he improperly discloses another non resident's trade secret to a federal agency at its Georgia office? We certify this question to the Georgia Supreme Court because there is no controlling Georgia authority. I. Plaintiffs are the former shareholders of Phoenix Corporation (Phoenix). Which was involved in the development of a modification to the Beechcraft King Air aircraft. While the application was pending. The FAA advised Megaflight that the Phoenix design modifications were deficient. TDI pointed out that it is a Florida corporation. It is not authorized to do business in Georgia. Does not have a registered agent for service of process in Georgia. Actually there was a proliferation of litigation at this point. Since jurisdiction in Georgia will. Require a tort to have been committed there. It appears that ultimately the determination of the jurisdictional issue will depend upon the ownership of the design modification at the time it was disclosed to the FAA. |

Count I of the indictment was based on a fax transmission Garlick sent to a prospective buyer in which he misrepresented the age of the blades. Count II was based on a fax transmission the buyer sent to Garlick agreeing to purchase the blades. 2402 Garlick argues these two counts of the indictment were multiplicitous. The two counts of the indictment were not multiplicitous. This concept is well established in the context of mail fraud.

Most of the arbitrary and capricious claims raised by NACAA are not properly before the court. Because they were never raised with 3 EPA. Because we find that none of NACAA's claims are meritorious.

OPINION/ORDER Holding that plaintiff Elizabeth Fedorczyk did not provide any evidence to support her claim that Royal Caribbean's failure to provide adequate abrasive strips in its bathtub was the proximate cause of her injuries. Which is an essential element of the tort of negligence. We will affirm the June 26. I. The following facts are not disputed. The tub in her cabin was about five and one half feet long and two feet. Fedorczyk has no recollection whether her feet were on or off the abrasive strips at the time of her fall. The tub was also equipped with a grab rail which Fedorczyk made a failed attempt to reach when she fell. She re entered the tub and discovered that there was sufficient space between the abrasive strips so that her feet could just fit in between them. She does not know where her feet were at the time of the accident. There were seven as opposed to four abrasive strips. This standard specifies that for any surface that is textured or treated with appliques. There is no definite way of preventing slips altogether. |

OPINION/ORDER Was damaged when a fire broke out in its engine compartment. Southern Pine had a property damage insurance policy on the helicopter that was issued by Old Republic Insurance Company through Phoenix Aviation Managers. Which was the insured value of the damaged helicopter. The district court held that Southern Pine was entitled to prejudgment interest and certain costs. That it was not entitled to attorneys' fees or the twelve percent penalty because it had failed to meet the requirements of the Arkansas statute that authorizes fees and penalties in insurance cases. It states that when an insurer liable for a loss fails to pay it within the time specified in the insurance policy after demand is made. The insurer is liable to pay the policyholder. The availability of such damages and attorneys' fees is.

NAT'L PARTNERSHIP INV. CORP. V. NAT'L HOUS. DEV. CORP. (9/10/1998, NO. 97-5178) The appeal raises two narrow questions of law: (1) whether the appointment of a receiver by a federal court exercising diversity jurisdiction is governed by state or federal law. BACKGROUND NHDC is the operating general partner of Mangonia Residence I. The Partnership is a Florida limited partnership that was organized in 1994 to build and lease a 252 unit apartment complex for low income elderly persons in West Palm Beach. (NAPICO) is the managing general partner of National Corporate Tax Credit Fund V (NCTCV). NCTCV is a limited partner in the Partnership with a 98.9% ownership interest. I(NTC) is a special limited partner in the Partnership with a 0.1% interest. ANALYSIS NHDC contends that the appointment of a receiver in a diversity case is governed by state substantive law in accordance with Erie Railroad Co. v.

OPINION/ORDER We also decide that an arbitrated dispute that is based on the breach of a construction contract growing out of a territorial housing project financed by federal funds does not establish federal question jurisdiction.

Funding for the project was supplied by a program that receives part of its funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program. The contract was executed on September 29. No notice to proceed was issued. Contending that it was entitled to compensation for the work it had performed before the termination. The Housing Authority asserted that consideration of the amended claim was unfair and prejudicial. The two cases were consolidated by an order that was originally limited to discovery. Based on evidence that some of the expenses claimed by Coastal might have been inflated or completely false. The district court reasoned that the Housing Authority may have been prejudiced. |

Discerning the law in this area is far from easy. We are constrained to reverse in part and to remand for further proceedings. The basic facts of the case are not in dispute. The captain and owner 2 2 were fined a total of $30. 000 of which was to be available to compensate individuals. The claimants in the present appeal are a group of shellfish dealers who allege severe economic losses arising from the two week hiatus in shellfishing activities. Which held that compensation for economic losses standing alone is unavailable in admiralty cases. The dealers assert that their businesses were injured 4 4 when the World Prodigy spill prevented local fishermen from harvesting shellfish in Narragansett Bay and thereby precluded the dealers from purchasing the shellfish and reselling them to restaurants and other buyers. The dealers' maritime law claims are thus purely for economic losses. |

OPINION/ORDER Roitman & Coleman were on brief for appellant. With whom O'Reilly & Grosso was on brief for appellees. The circumscribed role of federal courts reviewing arbitration awards in labor contract disputes is now well established. Courts must confine themselves to determining whether the arbitrator's construction of the contract was in any way plausible. The issue in this case is whether any plausible reading of a collective bargaining agreement supports an arbitrator's ruling in a dispute over fringe benefit contributions. |

OPINION/ORDER Is amended as follows: On page 2. Domenico was on brief for appellants.

Concluded that a carrier's duty to warn passengers of on shore hazards was so intimately related to traditional carrier passenger relationships that the tort in this case was maritime in nature even though occurring at the resort. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW OF ANY STATE OR COUNTRY TO THE CONTRARY. 4 Our own view is that this case does not require us to delve into either the locality or nexus requirements for a maritime tort under Executive Jet Aviation. Whether the injuries were suffered on ship or shore. Whether or not the tort were maritime in nature. The salient question in our minds is whether this particular ticket contract limitations provision applies to claims based on injuries suffered on shore after the passenger clearly has left the ship. |

Barnard worked as a fish spotter for Zapata and was found disabled for work by his family physician and a Federal Aviation Administration medical examiner. He was grounded on November 8. Plaintiff filed a claim for compensation benefits under the LHWCA and a hearing was held on July 28. An Administrative 2 2 Law Judge (ALJ) ordered Zapata to pay Barnard compensation for temporary total disability and to provide medical treatment.1 Payments were made regularly until October of 1988. Barnard contends that the liability sought in this case is not on account of his work related injury but arises from injuries caused by defendants' intentional. Barnard claims to have suffered permanent psychological damage as a result of defendants' actions. This court held the failure to honor a draft issued as part of the benefits paid constituted an independent wrong and that plaintiff was not precluded under the LHWCA from pursuing independent state law remedies.2 We must respectfully disagree with the district court's ruling. |

We will remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. The following facts are undisputed. A mercury processing plant was operated at the Site. The plant was the largest domestic producer of intermediate inorganic mercury compounds. The compounds were formulated. The plant was owned by F.W. It was transferred to Wood Ridge Chemical Corporation (its parent company is Velsicol Chemical Corporation) in 1960. The plant was closed in 1974. Velsicol and Morton were held strictly liable. That judgment was upheld following numerous appeals and successive litigation. Various other entities were required to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study for the Site. Morton is trying to recover from other allegedly responsible parties some of the costs it has incurred and will continue to incur to clean up the Site.

OPINION/ORDER Appellant Craig Vukich appeals the dismissal of his complaint following the District Court's determination that his present claims were compulsory counterclaims to a previous lawsuit. Vukich argues that his allegations of breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation by Nationwide are not logically related to the prior action. We review de novo the District Court's determination that Vukich's suit should have been pursued as a compulsory counterclaim in the Fleming action. We will affirm the District Court. 2 I. Vukich accumulated certain deferred earnings as a form of benefits and was entitled to received those earnings in the event of a disability. There are tw o com panion lawsuits. Vukich alleges that Nationwide was contractually permitted to either withhold his deferred compensation and allow competition. It is clear that both the Fleming lawsuit and this case arise from the same factual predicate and relate to the proper interpretation of the employment agreement. If it arises out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing party's claim and does not require for its adjudication the presence of third parties of whom the court cannot acquire jurisdiction. |

OPINION/ORDER BACKGROUND The parties are familiar with the facts of this case. We will provide but a brief summary of those facts at the outset. The plan states that it will pay life insurance benefits to the beneficiary of the basic policy named on the proper form. The optional policy is not among those listed that he could have checked off or circled. 2 In 1990. The decedent was laid off by GM. He was purportedly required to resubmit documentation to reinstate his group life insurance benefits. Stated: In addition I have asked on more then [sic] one occasion for a copy of my conformation [sic] of my benificiary [sic] designation to be sure my wife Patricia Kubichek is my sole benificiary [sic] on all policies. Please forward this to the correct department and person so I may have a copy for my records. GM was unable to locate its copy of this letter. The letter does not indicate who the beneficiaries of these policies are. 300.00 in proceeds from the basic life insurance policy was paid to Brennan. Kubichek moved for summary judgment on the ground that no documentation was produced showing that the decedent ever changed the beneficiary of his optional policy from her to Brennan. |

Defendant insisted that payment was contingent on plaintiff successfully obtaining managed care contracts for the defendant. Dwyer asserted at trial that plaintiff was not entitled to payment because it did not obtain managed care contracts for defendant. Was to pay the remaining $20. The District Court ruled that plaintiff was entitled to recover $51. The Court concluded it was entitled to recover on the settlement agreement. No additional findings were necessary. We have appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Taxation of costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(1) is reviewed only for abuse of discretion.

OPINION/ORDER We will affirm. It is not necessary to recite the facts of this case in detail. It is sufficient to note that Gorini was employed for more than four years by AMP Incorporated. Was terminated in April 1999 following Tyco's acquisition of AMP. Gorini thereafter sued Tyco under ERISA for benefits he was allegedly due under two employment severance plans that Tyco maintained. He claimed that he was entitled to relief under WARN for Tyco's failure to timely notify him of this layoff. Tyco was granted summary judgment on Gorini's claim that Tyco had failed to disclose an annual report for one of the severance plans as required under ERISA. Gorini was granted summary judgment on claims that Tyco did not disclose other documents relating to the plans. It found that Gorini was entitled to damages under WARN and to a portion of the claimed vacation pay. We exercise plenary review over a partial summary judgment when it is appealed as part of a final judgment. We therefore review any point on which summary judgment was granted to ensure that the party granted judgment was entitled to it as a matter of law and that there was no genuine issue of material fact. |

OPINION/ORDER These consolidated interlocutory cross appeals before us pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) (1993) present an interesting and important question of maritime law: whether state wrongful death and survival statutes are displaced by a federal maritime rule of decision concerning the remedies available for the death of a recreational boater occurring within state territorial waters. [fn1] which are explicitly excluded from the reach of the Death on the High Seas Act. The remedies at issue are loss of society. Was killed in a boating accident in the waters off Puerto Rico. Fashioned a federal common law rule applicable to cases involving the death of a non seaman in territorial waters under which future earnings and punitive damages are not recoverable but damages for loss of society or support are.

Our analysis of the Supreme Court's maritime wrongful death jurisprudence reveals that there is no federal substantive policy with which state wrongful death or survival statutes conflict here. |

OPINION/ORDER It was improper for the DEA to use administrative forfeiture instead of judicial forfeiture. We will deny CIGNA's Petition for Review. That agreement was not filed with the FAA (as required by law) until after seizure of the plane more than three years later. CIGNA insured the jet under a standard policy which was later amended at Yskamp's request to cover losses caused by war or confiscation. Which was granted. Yskamp conceded that this flight and a prior one with the same suspects were odd. Because the bulk of the payment was in cash. The turn around time was short. Pilots for Yskamp stated initially (but later retracted when Yskamp was present) that they had informed him of their suspicions. Even though Haldan was not named on the policy. Included with this notice was a petition for expedited release of the jet. Confirming its understanding that the DEA would proceed on the petition for expedited release and stating that CIGNA's decision whether to post bond was still pending. That neither Yskamp nor CIGNA had taken reasonable steps to assure that the jet was not used for conveying illegal drugs. |

OPINION/ORDER With him on the brief were Kenneth L. Chief Judge: Rasheed Rashad appeals the decision of the district court rejecting his claim to have received ineffective assistance of counsel. Rashad alleged his trial counsel never told him his sentence might have been reduced for accepting responsibility if he had pleaded guilty rather than going to trial. The district court ruled that Rashad suffered no prejudice because he could not have pleaded guilty while maintaining his innocence to some of the charges against him. Because the district court seems not to have realized that it had the discretion to accept a guilty plea in these circumstances. I. Background Rashad was arrested after selling crack cocaine to a government informant in two separate transactions. One of which was captured on videotape. Government attorneys showed Rashad the videotape and recounted all their evidence of his drug offenses with the goal of convincing him to plead guilty and to supply information regarding other individuals whom the Government was pursuing. |

OPINION/ORDER Senior Circuit Judge ORDER It is. McGrail Deputy Clerk Notice: This opinion is subject to formal revision before publication in the Federal Reporter or U.S.App.D.C. Users are requested to notify the Clerk of any formal errors in order that corrections may be made before the bound volumes go to press. With him on the briefs were Roscoe C. Specifically at issue is Treasury's selection of a ``weighted national average'' methodology to calculate locality pay increases under the Federal Law Enforcement Pay Reform Act of 1990 (``FLEPRA''). The conceptual difficulty arises because locality pay increases are geographically fixed while the DCRA's equalization provision is based on the salary of an agent in active service. Notwithstanding the fact that Secret Service agents have postings throughout the United States and overseas. No issue is before the court regarding the entitlement of those retirees to locality pay adjustments. Treasury's methodology is fair and valid. That Treasury as opposed to the District of Columbia is the proper locus of decisionmaking for calculating the amount of locality pay for Secret Service retirees who have opted to retire under the DCRA. |

Who argued all along that the case was ripe and who still maintains the case is ripe. To argue that the case is ripe not for the reason we gave but for another reason. We are utterly baffled. Since our ripeness concern was a prudential one we did not wish to devote judicial resources when it might not be necessary it. Was obviated once we had prepared our opinion. Petitioner's second concern is our holding that it lacked prudential standing to assert the FAA's alleged violation of NEPA. |
