Early in her employment she learned that she was making less money than a Caucasian male RSC and complained to her boss at a staff meeting. McClain was fired. McClain was fired before the end of her 120 day probationary period. The district court held that McClain was entitled to notice and a hearing prior to her termination under state law but that state law did not create an implied private right of action. (2) her right under Ohio law to due process creates a property interest that is protected by the Federal Constitution. (3) her disparate treatment claims (one for disparate pay and one for termination) should have survived NorthWest's motion for summary judgment. (4) her retaliation claims should have survived NorthWest's motion for summary judgment. Summary judgment was warranted in favor of NorthWest as to McClain's state and federal due process claims. Summary judgment was not warranted on McClain's discrimination claims or her retaliation claims. |

OPINION/ORDER Hargis was disciplined for violating the coercion regulation when he informed a guard that shaving with a razor blade endangered his safety due to his medical condition and that the guard's actions and statements could come up in pending state court litigation. We are asked to decide two questions: (1) whether there is a triable issue of fact as to whether the defendants' application of the coercion regulation in this case violated Hargis's right to free speech and (2) whether the district court abused its discretion in dismissing Hargis's retaliation and Eighth Amendment claims with prejudice. Because the ADA claim was neither alleged nor argued in the district court. We will not consider the ADA claim on this appeal. 721 (9th Cir. 2001) (noting that ordinarily this court will not hear issues raised for the first time on appeal). 3731 I. While the case was pending. Beauchamp responded by explaining that he had discussed Hargis's medical problem with the prison medical staff and was told that Hargis had no diagnosed medical condition that would interfere with his ability to shave. |

OPINION/ORDER We consider a challenge to 2 U.S.C. § 441d(a)'s requirement that a communication expressly advocating the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate disclose whether the communication was authorized by a candidate or candidate's committee. Which appears to be the only federal court of appeals to have addressed the constitutionality of § 441d(a). 65 F.3d 285 (2d Cir. 1995).1 Since we conclude that the candidate authorization disclosure is narrowly tailored to serve the overriding governmental interest in assisting voters in evaluating the candidates. We uphold § 441d(a)'s requirement that a communication expressly advocating the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate disclose whether the communication was authorized by a candidate or candidate's committee. As is evident from the text. Depends upon who paid for the communication and whether the communication was authorized by a candidate. Shall clearly state that the communication is paid for by such other persons and authorized by such authorized political committee. |

OPINION/ORDER Honolulu was among the first municipalities to enact 5642 CENTER FOR BIO ETHICAL REFORM v. The question presented in this appeal is whether the Ordinance may be used to restrict an advocacy group from towing aerial banners over the beaches of Honolulu. We must first decide whether the Ordinance is preempted by federal law. The Ordinance is a reasonable and viewpoint neutral restriction on speech in a nonpublic forum. The banner towing prohibited by the Ordinance is neither a historically important form of communication nor speech that has unique identifying attributes for which there is no practical substitute. BACKGROUND Honolulu's aerial advertising Ordinance is part of a longstanding scheme aimed at regulating outdoor advertising in order to protect the critical visual landscape that has made the area famous.

OPINION/ORDER The attempt to prove concealment was flawed. Because the government produced no evidence that the defendants failed to comply with SEC regulations governing the reporting of such personal use and the jury was never instructed regarding the SEC's reporting requirements. Transmission of a required report can serve as the predicate for a wire fraud offense only if the report is itself false or fraudulent. The government alleged that the reports were deceptive because they failed to disclose the great value to the defendants (about $1 million each) of their personal use of corporate aircraft. Were false. Further prosecution of these charges is barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause. If there was no wire fraud. There was no money laundering. They were based on the failure of the defendants to disclose their personal travel on corporate aircraft in various internal forms used to prepare reports for the SEC. The core issue with respect to these failures to disclose is the defendants' intent. They argued at trial that other Westar officers almost always failed to report such travel and that one could infer that they thought such disclosure was unnecessary. |

OPINION/ORDER This is an appeal from a preliminary injunction enjoining the enforcement of an ordinance of the City of Lincoln. The District Court1 held that the ordinance was facially invalid because it violated the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. I. The plaintiffs are four individuals who have engaged in demonstrations opposing abortion in the vicinity of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Lincoln. The plaintiffs believe that abortion is wrong. The plaintiffs have engaged in protests and demonstrations on the public sidewalk that adjoins the church. Crabb is Unfit to be an Elder. Other protesters (not the plaintiffs) have demonstrated near the church with other kinds of signs. The opinion of the District Court is reported at 23 F. Legislative Intent and Findings. (a) It is the intent of this ordinance to preserve the peace at religious premises in order to protect and secure several significant and compelling interests of this city. Focused picketing disrupts and endangers or outright destroys individual freedom of religion. (e) The mechanism of such injury to individual freedom of religion operates as follows: infants and young children are emotionally vulnerable to focused picketing in close proximity to them. |

OPINION/ORDER These matters are before the court on two separate petitions for rehearing. The petitions were filed separately and correspond to the two opinions issued in these appeals on April 17. The requests for panel rehearing are denied by the original panel which decided these cases. The en banc petitions were transmitted to all of the judges of the court who are in regular active service. A poll was requested. The decisions of the panel will stand. The en banc requests are denied. Judges Lucero and McConnell have filed dissents to the denial. They are attached and incorporated in this order. That response is also incorporated in this order.

We conclude that there is such substantial evidence. The union negotiator indicated that the company would have to come up from its three percent figure if the parties were to reach agreement. The parties went on to discuss an unrelated dispute (whether certain employees were part of the bargaining unit) and tempers flared. While these negotiations were taking place. Included in its new system was a new policy requiring unit employees to pay a five dollar fee for lost timecards. A hearing was held before a Board ALJ.

Liddy asserted that the burglars were seeking a compromising photograph of Dean's fiance that was located in Wells's desk among several photographs that were used to offer prostitution services to outof town guests. The district court determined that Wells was an involuntary public figure who could not prove actual malice by clear and convincing evidence. Because we determine that Wells is not a public figure for purposes of the ongoing public debate regarding Watergate and we also conclude that Louisiana law does not apply to two of Wells's defamation counts.

OPINION/ORDER We hold that the ordinance is constitutional. We do not address the propriety of the district court's award of partial summary judgment to the city based on the district court's determination that the ordinance is not content based. Promoting safety was by regulating the proliferation of newsracks within the special district. Honolulu Weekly was founded as a free weekly publication. Article 15 was designed to regulate newsracks throughout the Waikiki Special District. As was the case along Kalakaua Avenue. Because space (especially the most desirable space within the district) is limited. Although Honolulu Weekly is a free publication. Because the display window for the coin operated newsracks is larger.1 Honolulu Weekly also surmised it would have a better chance of obtaining the locations it desired by bidding with the coin operated group and feared it would not be considered a credible media publication if lumped among the advertising leaflets and tourist promotional papers that constituted most of the free publications. |

OPINION/ORDER The companies are referred to as local exchange carriers or LECs. Is also a LEC to the extent that it supplies local telephone service in many Iowa communities. Qwest is not a member of INS. No longer was the local market to be viewed as a natural monopoly with only one authorized provider of local telephone service. Which was previously operated as a monopoly overseen by the several states. The state commissions in regulating local telephone markets and the competing providers of telephone services in those markets is at the heart of this case. There are two types of charges which one carrier can extract from another for the provision of telecommunication services. One of the primary purposes of the 1996 Act was to promote competition in the local telephone service market. The amount an ILEC can charge for allowing a competitor to use its infrastructure to deliver a local call is to be determined by an interconnection agreement negotiated (or imposed by arbitration) between the ILEC and the interconnecting carrier that has been approved by the state commission. |

OPINION/ORDER Proctor & Hoar LLP were on brief. With whom Laura Steinberg and Sullivan & Worcester LLP were on brief. Ropes & Gray were on brief. P.C. were on brief. We determine that Cablevision is unlikely. We further conclude that Cablevision is unlikely to prevail on its Chapter 93A claim in this action. I. FACTS The facts are largely taken from the opinion of the district court. These are undisputed. The few points of disagreement are noted. Because key aspects of this case involve changes that have occurred over time and actions that are alleged to have been untimely. The electricity and cable television businesses were once entirely distinct enterprises. Cablevision is equally well established in Boston as a provider of cable television. Although its two franchise agreements with the City have been non exclusive. Both Boston Edison and Cablevision have needed to install conduit under the streets of Boston. Which is the division of the City's Department of Public Works responsible for construction projects involving City streets. |

OPINION/ORDER Ruling that the County ordinance was constitutional on its face and that the City's enforcement provisions also passed constitutional muster. We note several developments that have affected the issues on appeal and the manner in which we will structure our analysis. The City adopted comprehensive amendments to its noise ordinance that have mooted at least one of the five claims on appeal.3 In count IV of their complaint. Were null and void and to enjoin their use. Since the County noise ordinance is now officially a municipal ordinance. At oral argument on the motions for summary judgment the plaintiffs conceded that the City could cure the constitutional infirmity in its alternate code enforcement provisions if it adopted the County ordinance.4 A change in statute will not always moot a constitutional claim.

Allowed Ortiz to write letters to his sister in Mexico City in Spanish because it was the only way he could communicate with her. While his grievance was pending. Ortiz was then allowed to correspond in Spanish with all of his family members. Ortiz brought suit against FDCF and Conley seeking compensatory and punitive damages stemming from the First Amendment violation he maintains occurred during the three months that he was unable to write or receive letters in Spanish.

OPINION/ORDER This consolidated class action is brought pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. We conclude that there are genuine issues of material fact as to whether the defendants breached section 1104(a)'s fiduciary duties and as to whether the defendants are entitled to section 1104(c)'s protection. We will. Vacate the district court's grant of summary judgment in the defendants' favor and will remand the case to the district court for further proceedings.

OPINION/ORDER Were on brief for appellant. This case presents constitutional issues of first impression in this circuit: whether the CPPA's definition of child pornography is so overbroad as to contravene the First Amendment or so vague as to violate due process. The court was troubled by a perceived difficulty in determining whether a depicted person appeared to be under 18 years old and by its belief that the statute impermissibly criminalizes possession of adult pornography. It neither impinges substantially on protected expression nor is so vague as to offend due process. We must carefully consider fundamental constitutional norms in light of recent technological advances to determine whether Congress's objectives and the statutory scheme it has established are in accord with our constitutional design. Lawmakers wished to improve law enforcement tools to keep pace with technological improvements that have made it possible for child pornographers to use computers to |

OPINION/ORDER I. In 1993 South Dakota enacted a law providing that no abortion can be performed without the patient's voluntary and informed consent unless it is impossible to obtain such consent due to a medical emergency. The patient's consent will be informed only if certain information has been given to her at least 24 hours before an abortion procedure. The information required by the 1993 law includes the name of the physician who will perform the abortion. The probable gestational age of the embryo or fetus she is carrying. The patient must also have been told that medical assistance benefits may be available. All of whom were granted leave to intervene after this appeal was filed. 22 1 fetuses at various gestational ages. A provider's failure to comply with the state's informed consent requirements is a class 2 misdemeanor. In 2005 South Dakota enacted House Bill 1166 (the Act) which is the subject of this action. The disclosures required under the new law are contained in § 7 of the Act. The doctor's written statement provided 2 hours before an abortion must inform the patient: (b) That the abortion will terminate the life of a whole. |

OPINION/ORDER With him on the brief were Adele L. With him on the brief was W. At issue here is a standard governing escapeways from mines: Every mine shall have two or more separate. Properly maintained escapeways to the surface from the lowest levels which are so positioned that damage to one shall not lessen the effectiveness of the others. A method of refuge shall be provided while a second opening to the surface is being developed. A second escapeway is rec ommended. The Commission took the view now espoused by the Secretary as well that the regulation unambiguously required every mine to have at least two escapeways operable at all times that miners (other than ones involved in escapeway repair or maintenance) were in the mine. Which pur chased the Cleveland Mine during the litigation but will henceforth be disregarded). The regulation does not have the supposedly unambiguous meaning assigned it by the Commission (and before us by the Secretary as well). |

OPINION/ORDER This telecommunications appeal involves a question about how the prevailing regulatory regime rooted as it is in legacy technology applies to products and services far from contemplation at the time the regime developed. The current appeal is a direct fallout from the move toward deregulation. Global Local exchange carriers are companies that provide local telephone service. 253 (2006). 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 contends that the Board erred in concluding that Board determined local calling areas2 would continue to control whether a call is a toll call or a local call and in prohibiting Global from offering virtual NXX service.3 The district court affirmed these rulings. I. BACKGROUND An elementary knowledge of telecommunications law and terminology is helpful toward understanding what is at stake in this appeal. Local calling areas are not defined as such in the Code of Federal Regulations or the U.S. A local calling area is a region of service for a particular telephone service plan. Refers to telephone numbers assigned to a customer in a local calling area different from the one where the customer is physically located in circumstances where the telephone company assigning the number is not using facilities of its own to transport the call from the calling area associated with the telephone number to the area where the customer is actually located. |

For the Office of the President is a part of the federal government. The Supreme Court and this court have held that even the constitutionally based executive privilege for presi dential communications fundamental to the operation of the government can be overcome upon a proper showing of need for the evidence in criminal trials and in grand jury proceed ings. There is no basis for treating legal advice different ly from any other advice the Office of the President receives in performing its constitutional functions. The extent to which the communications of White House Counsel are privileged against disclosure to a federal grand jury depends. The main focus of Independent Counsel Starr's inqui ry had been on financial transactions involving President Clinton when he was Governor of Arkansas. |

OPINION/ORDER District Judge.** Opinion by Judge Fisher *Debra Bowen is substituted for her predecessor. Circuit Judge: The 2000 presidential election was one of the closest in our nation's history. Their importance was magnified by the closeness of the election. Even if his share of the vote is less than an outright majority. It was in this highly charged political atmosphere that Appellants created two websites. Was to improve Gore's odds of winning the Democratic pledged electors in the swing state without reducing Nader's share of the national popular vote (which needed to exceed five percent in order to qualify his party for federal funding in future elections). The owners of voteswap2000.com were threatened with criminal prosecution by then California Secretary of State. Because the letter does not assure that California will not threaten to prosecute vote swapping websites in the future. We conclude that this appeal is not moot. The websites' vote swapping mechanisms as well as the communication and vote swaps they enabled were constitutionally protected. |

OPINION/ORDER We find that none of the factors relied on by the district court is sufficient to warrant a finding of state action by Memphis in May under the nexus test. We hold that the district4 court erred in finding that Memphis in May was a state actor. Because the plaintiff is no longer the prevailing party. There is no basis for assessing attorney's fees against the defendant. The district court's order to the contrary is hereby VACATED. The case is REMANDED to the district court for further orders. If this were all that was required to find state action. It is the best evidence the record provides to show that Memphis in May and the city were operating as independent decisionmakers during the festival. The letter is quite emphatic in communicating to city police officers the clear boundary between public forums controlled by the city. In which officers were directed to permit protected expressive activity. They are permitted to engage in protected expressive activities. |

OPINION/ORDER On appeal we consider three questions: (1) whether Reschini's appeal is moot. (3) if jurisdiction in the district court is not precluded. Whether dismissal of this suit was nevertheless required on the ground that the complaint failed to state a cognizable cause of action. Depositors in a federally chartered mutual savings association are. [fn1] notwithstanding that the proprietary interest of a depositor member in a mutual savings association is a chimera. It is ownership in name only. A special meeting of Association members was held. The conversion plan was approved by the members. The proposed conversion was pending before the OTS but had not yet been approved. Or set aside the order of the OTS Director approving the proposed conversion.[fn3] We are. At pains to point out that the petition for review ¾ an invocation of this court's appellate authority with respect to certain decisions of the OTS Director ¾ has not yet been briefed and argued and is not the subject of this opinion. We address the contention of the Association and France that this appeal is moot because the special meeting that Reschini sought to enjoin has already occurred and the Association has already converted to a Pennsylvania chartered savings bank. |

OPINION/ORDER The primary issue in this case is whether Benton County. Violated the First Amendment by enacting an ordinance prohibiting live nude dancing entertainment when there was evidence presented to the County Commissioners suggesting that existing adult entertainment establishments had not adversely affected nearby property values or crime rates. The issue is surprisingly complex because it lies at the intersection of two related but distinct lines of Supreme Court First Amendment decisions. Commits public indecency and is guilty of a misdemeanor under Minnesota law and upon conviction thereof. The district court held that the Ordinance is constitutional. Non obscene erotic and sexually explicit speech are entitled to some First Amendment protection. Businesses that market sexually explicit speech and expressive conduct may be regulated to the extent their activities are perceived as having adverse social and economic effects on society. A law prohibiting the sale of sexually oriented materials to minors was upheld against a First Amendment challenge in Ginsberg v. |

OPINION/ORDER The Park Service's decision was made pursuant to a Park Service regulation that opened certain areas of the Park to snowmobiling (including the eleven frozen bays at issue in this case).

The Park Service was again sued. This time the suit was brought by a group of snowmobilers. The suit alleged that the bay closures were improper and legally defective.

OPINION/ORDER OPINION PER CURIAM: Joseph and Judy Pauly are farmers who entered into a tenyear agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) whereby the USDA agreed to restructure the Paulys' debt in exchange for a portion of the appreciation in the value of their farm during the term of the agreement. The Paulys argue that the Government or its agents are liable for tort damages arising from fraud in the inducement. The district court affirmed the USDA's determination that appreciation was due under the agreement and granted in part the USDA's motion for summary judgment. The district court was correct in enforcing the agreement according to its terms and in conformity with the statute governing the USDA's loan program. Held a portfolio that was severely threatened by the declining net worth of U.S. farmers. The vast majority of FmHA's outstanding farm debt was delinquent. Which allowed farmers who were delinquent in payments to restructure their debts. Joseph and Judy Pauly are farmers who were delinquent in their loans from the USDA. |

The IJ further found Morales would have been eligible for asylum but for her conviction. Which the IJ determined was a particularly serious crime. Holding that Morales had not shown it was more likely than not she would be tortured if she were returned to Mexico. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction to review the IJ's finding that Morales was removable because Morales had been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude. We have jurisdiction to review the denial of Morales's applications for asylum. The IJ determined that Morales's conviction was for a particularly serious crime. I.

OPINION/ORDER Appellant Mumia Abu Jamal was convicted of murdering a Philadelphia police officer and is currently on death row at the State Correctional Institute at Greene. Jamal alleges that this rule is unconstitutional and that the Department used this rule as a pretext to retaliate against him for the content of his writings. Jamal was serving a prison disciplinary sentence for engaging in the profession of journalism at S.C.I. The court held that the disciplinary proceedings and the Department's decision to open Jamal's mail were not motivated by retaliation for Jamal's writings. The district court found that the Department's justifications for denying media access to Jamal were not credible. Concluded that this action was clearly retaliatory. This order is not challenged on appeal. 3 We conclude that Jamal has a reasonable probability of demonstrating that the Department's actions violated his rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. That Jamal has demonstrated that he will be subject to irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted. |

[by] the physician who is to perform the abortion. The district court concluded that the higher cost will reduce by 10% to 13% the number of abortions performed in Indiana. Some of these women will travel to states that do not require two trips. Others will forego an abortion. Some who do have an abortion in Indiana will delay that procedure until the second trimester. The judge also thought that experience in Indiana showing that the demand for abortion did not decline when information was provided on paper or over the telephone implies that the reduction in the number of abortions is attributable to higher cost (a bad reason) rather than to the statutory information (a valid reason). No. 01 2107 Indiana's statute reads as follows: 3 An abortion shall not be performed except with the voluntary and informed consent of the pregnant woman upon whom the abortion is to be performed. |

OPINION/ORDER I. Background Singh is a Sikh and a native and citizen of India. Singh was interrogated and beaten repeatedly during each of these detentions. He was repeatedly assured that the appeals process was lengthy and that he should be patient. The BIA's discussion was devoted to Singh's failure to file a brief. The BIA wrote: The appeal is dismissed. Block 6 is immediately followed by a clear warning that the appeal may be subject to summary dismissal if the appellant indicates that such a brief or statement will be filed and. The appellant was granted the SINGH v. We are not persuaded that the Immigration Judge's ultimate resolution of this case was in error. We find that summary dismissal is appropriate pursuant to the provisions of 8 C.F.R. § 3.1(d)(2)(i)(D). We have jurisdiction to review the BIA's denial of a motion to reopen under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b).

OPINION/ORDER Is withdrawn. Insurance companies are required to send adverse action notices to consumers whenever they increase the rates for insurance on the REYNOLDS v. 1681m(a).1 The principal question before us is straightforward: Does FCRA's adverse action notice requirement apply to the rate first charged in an initial policy of insurance? We hold that the answer is yes: The Act requires that an insurance company send the consumer an adverse action notice whenever a higher rate is charged because of credit information it obtains. Regardless of whether the rate is contained in an initial policy or an extension or renewal of a policy and regardless of whether the company has previously charged the consumer a lower rate. We hold that FCRA's adverse action notice requirement applies whenever a consumer would have received a lower rate for insurance had his credit information been more favorable. Regardless of whether his credit rating is above or below average. The requirement covers those whose credit information is disregarded and replaced for purposes of a rate computation by an average or neutral credit figure. |

OPINION/ORDER Alleges in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action that his First Amendment rights were violated by Pelican Bay's enforcement of its policy prohibiting inmates from receiving mail containing material downloaded from the internet. After reviewing staffing levels and security issues internet mail will not be allowed. The policy prohibits only mail containing material that has been downloaded from the internet but is not violated if information from the internet is retyped or copied into a document generated in a word processor program. TERHUNE At least eight other California prisons have adopted similar policies. Prisoners are not allowed to access the internet directly. So Clement asserts that the policies effectively prevent inmates from accessing information that is available only on the internet. Or is prohibitively expensive and timeconsuming to obtain through other methods. There is record evidence that several non profit groups. That many legal materials are readily accessible only on the internet. Agents and those in privity with them are enjoined from enforcing any policy prohibiting California inmates from receiving mail because it contains Internet generated information. |

OPINION/ORDER Some have said. Is an engine of technological development. The telephonic system at dispute in this appeal is an example of that phenomenon it was designed and implemented to ensure that consumers paid charges for accessing pornography and other adult entertainment. The system identified the user of an online adult entertainment service by the telephone line used to access that service and then billed the telephone line subscriber 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 for the cost of that service as if it was a charge for an international phone call to Madagascar. It had a problem as well: It was possible for someone to access an adult entertainment service over a telephone line without authorization from the telephone line subscriber who understood herself contractually bound to pay all telephone charges. If the computer was connected by modem to a telephone line. Charges for accessing the adult entertainment appeared on bills sent to the consumers whose telephone lines were used. This billing system did not have a mechanism to ensure that a telephone line subscriber authorized the computer user to access a given adult entertainment service. |

OPINION/ORDER The question before us in this appeal is a narrow procedural one: can this court review the district court's decision to remand the case to the state court in which it was originally filed? We conclude that the best way to interpret the district court's order is as one finding that it had no subject matter jurisdiction over the claims that were 2 Nos. 01 3081 & 01 3418 remanded. Even if we are wrong and the order was simply a decision to remand all supplemental state claims to the state court. We would exercise our jurisdiction to find that there was no abuse of discretion in that decision. Was filed in Illinois state court by injured passengers and the estates of those killed as a result of the collision. The additional defendants were the manufacturers. Two from that group are relevant to this appeal: Illinois Central. GE claimed that any lawsuit these plaintiffs were bringing was inevitably and necessarily based on a federal question. Thus removal was available under 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a) and (b).). Which is a federal instrumentality. |

OPINION/ORDER Wendy Faustin is an abortion protester. Denver points to what it asserts is its unwritten. The policy is broader and unconstitutionally bans all expression on all overpasses. Both sides originally filed motions for summary judgment below and argue summary judgment is the proper vehicle for deciding this case. This is the second appeal in this case. Before us now are Faustin's facial challenges to the city's policy as overly broad and vague. This factual dispute is not material and so will not preclude summary judgment. Even giving the policy the broadest interpretation the record will allow. Is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. As they were stated in our prior panel decision. The police officers were unable to cite a specific law proscribing Faustin's display. A Denver police officer did inform Faustin she could not display the banner because to do so was a violation of a Denver posting ordinance. Faustin was cited by Sergeant W.P. This charge was dismissed in open court when the Denver city prosecutor realized that. |

OPINION/ORDER Is amended as follows: At slip op. page 8075. The mirror port was installed at PacBell's connection facility in San Diego. Circuit Judge: Defendants appellants Mark Stephen Forrester and Dennis Louis Alba were charged with various offenses relating to the operation of a large Ecstasy manufacturing laboratory. Were convicted on all counts following a jury trial. The omission and the misstatement compel us to hold that Forrester's waiver of his right to counsel was not knowing and intelligent and that the Sixth Amendment was violated when he was allowed to proceed pro se. We conclude that this surveillance was analogous to the use of a pen register that the Supreme Court held in Smith v. Alba is not entitled to the suppression of the evidence obtained through the surveillance because there is no statutory or other authority for such a remedy.1 I. Forrester and Alba were indicted on October 26. Forrester was charged with one count of conspiracy to manufacture and distribute 3. Alba was also charged with that Alba's remaining arguments are addressed in a concurrently filed memorandum disposition. |

OPINION/ORDER Is amended as follows: Insert footnote 9 to Section II slip op. at 15673. How harmless error review is to be conducted is therefore squarely presented. I believe I should address the issue so that future panels confronted with it will have an expression of each of our views on this question. I cannot agree with Judge Clifton's analysis because he relies on the ALJ's and the district court's findings that the placement made by the procedurally defective IEP team was. Harmless because it was the best placement for M.L. This approach rewards procedural non compliance and is at odds with the Supreme Court's holding that the IDEA seeks to achieve its substantive ends largely through procedural means: [T]he importance Congress attached to [the Act's] procedural safeguards cannot be gainsaid. . . . He appears to have jumped to the substantive second step to resolve the procedural first step. It is my view that loss of an educational opportunity cannot be determined by considering the merits of the placement identified in the IEP. |

OPINION/ORDER Circuit Judge: Richard Ceballos filed this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 contending that he was subjected to adverse employ 3448 CEBALLOS v. Qualified immunity was not available to the individual defendants because the law was clearly established that Ceballos's speech addressed a matter of public concern and that his interest in the speech outweighed the public employer's interest in avoiding inefficiency and disruption. Is entitled to such immunity depends on whether he was performing a state or a county function when he took the alleged actions with respect to Ceballos. We hold that in most respects he was acting in the latter capacity. He is not entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity. Neither is the County. In 1997 or 1998 he was assigned to the District Attorney's CEBALLOS v. GARCETTI 3449 Office's Pomona Branch and about a year later was promoted to calendar deputy. Told Ceballos that he believed that one of the arresting deputy sheriffs may have lied in a search warrant affidavit. Ceballos was supervising the deputy district attorney assigned to the case. |

OPINION/ORDER Summary judgment in favor of Philip Morris was granted. B. District Court Proceedings This action was timely and properly removed from state to federal court under diversity jurisdiction. On grounds that (1) the strict product liability claim was preempted by the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965. (2) the fraudulent concealment claim was preempted by the same federal statute. Evidence was lacking that the decedent would have acted differently if Philip Morris had disclosed material information concerning the health effects of smoking. (3) the fraud claim was not preempted under federal law but evidence was absent that the decedent saw. (4) the conspiracy claim necessarily failed because it was a derivative of other underlying claims. A grant of summary judgment is appropriate only where the moving party has demonstrated that there is no genuine issue of material fact. Material facts are those which might affect the outcome of the suit. An issue is genuine if a reasonable trier of fact could find in favor of the nonmoving party. |

OPINION/ORDER We will not restate the facts below. The effect of the preliminary injunction is to allow the plaintiffs to operate The Montauck Theater while they challenge the denial of their application for an 2 entertainment license. The entertainment license was denied because the theater refused to employ an off duty police officer as part of the security team. I. Orders granting or denying a preliminary injunction are reviewed for abuse of discretion. The appropriate constitutional standard is a question of law. Is therefore subject to plenary review. The statute of limitations for any Section 1983 claim is determined by referring to the state statute governing actions for personal injuries. The action was therefore timely under the applicable two year Jersey statute of limitations. This case is legally distinct because it was filed under Section 1983 and specifically asserts violations of the federal Constitution. Although the District Court will address the matter in due course. Therefore the resolution is properly viewed as a regulation directed against the secondary effects of speech. |

OPINION/ORDER Dismissed counts one through eight of the counterclaim on the basis that it did not have subject matter jurisdiction to entertain them. Ryals argues that summary judgment was improvidently granted because the applicable statute of limitations had expired prior to the Government's suit. Ryals had not shown he had overpaid any tax and was not entitled to exemption from levy. Ryals was liable for deficiencies in income tax and statutory additions for the 1977 and 1978 tax years. Notices of the assessment and demand for payment were issued to Mr. Statutory additions and interest assessed was $526. The first offer in compromise was presented on August 18. The offer in compromise was presented on a form that provided that the statute of limitations on an assessment would be suspended during the period that the offer was pending and for one year thereafter.
