985 OPINION/ORDER
Chief Judge: The fundamental question in this appeal from a district court order of remand is whether we have appellate jurisdiction in light of the limitations of 28 U.S.C. § 1447(d). We hold that we have jurisdiction to review the district court's ruling on substantive issues of controlling law on the merits of the case. Hold that the claims against the U.S. government agencies should have been dismissed rather than remanded to state court. BACKGROUND The underlying consolidated actions are suits arising from the energy crisis of 2000 2001. Both BPA and WAPA are agencies of the United States Government statutorily authorized to promote the development. BC Hydro is a crown corporation of the Canadian province of British Columbia created by the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority Act of 1964. PowerEx is a wholly owned subsidiary of BC Hydro. Arguing that they were entitled to be dismissed from the action because they enjoyed sovereign immunity as agencies of the U.S. government. BC Hydro argued for dismissal on the ground that it was an immune foreign sovereign as defined by the FSIA.

Packaged them for the retail consumer. 3M is a manufacturing powerhouse. It was NicSand's only competing supplier of DIY retail automotive coated abrasives and now. It is a monopolist of what NicSand alleges to be a distinct economic market. The wholesale and retail markets for DIY retail automotive abrasives are small and highly concentrated. Although the retailers were not contractually bound to stay with a particular supplier. The gravamen of the Amended Complaint is that 3M monopolized and attempted to monopolize the abrasives market through the exclusivity provisions of the contracts that the discounts accompanied. It is possible to draw certain conclusions from the allegations. The complaint notes that sales by the six largest retailers accounted for 80% of the retail market and that 3M executed exclusive contracts with four leaving only Wal Mart (which was subject to the wrap around program) and Pep Boys as possible distributors for NicSand's products. This change would have increased 3M's (retail) market share from 20% to 73% (assuming that NicSand and 3M split the Pep Boys's business evenly).

Was a mere pretext. We affirm on the alternative basis that Grosjean failed to make his prima facie case of age discrimination because he was not replaced by a person significantly younger than himself. Over the following two decades he was steadily promoted until in 1990 he joined management as a machine shop supervisor at First Energy's Bayshore. He was reassigned to a position as yard supervisor. Grosjean was instructed in these duties by John Gallagher. Their supervisor during the relevant period was the director of production. There appear to have been no significant problems with Grosjean's performance. Dresner and Grosjean had a series of meetings to discuss what Dresner felt were inadequacies in management style. The common element of these complaints was that Dresner considered Grosjean to be neither sufficiently strict with the workers under his supervision nor loyal to Dresner. Was damning with respect to his management role. Grosjean was reassigned from his supervisory position to a newly created position of planner.

This appeal arises from four state court actions against the defendants that were separately removed to the U.S. The four cases were later consolidated to address the defendants' separately filed motions for judgment on the pleadings after the court denied the separate motions to remand. This was vitally important to Centerior in 1986 because it needed to justify the recent merger of CEI and Toledo Edison. The defendants were required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service reporting payments of dividends aggregating $10 or more made to any person during any calendar year. A company that furnishes an information return is required to give notice to the person who is the subject of the return by written statement under 26 U.S.C. § 6042(c) and is subject to a penalty. The IRS may instruct a corporation to deduct and withhold a specified amount of tax for dividends if the payee underreports or if there is a payee certification failure.

This is an appeal from an order of the District Court ruling on an attorneys' fee application following the settlement of a complicated class action that resulted in a $9.5 million settlement for the benefit of the named plaintiffs and unnamed class members. It is difficult. Such is the case here. The District Court's opinion making the fee award and its subsequent opinion denying 3 reconsideration are vague and conclusory. We will therefore vacate the challenged order and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion. The named plaintiffs as well as the unnamed class members were investors in a series of limited partnerships involving oil and gas interests formed and promoted by the defendants named in the caption. That they were victorious in litigating several key discovery disputes. Counsel submit that their efforts to defend against summary judgment on their clients' RICO claims are noteworthy for.

Circuit Judge: The issue in this case is whether a district court may authorize the rejection of an executory 2 contract for the purchase of electricity as part of a bankruptcy reorganization. The district court held that a FERC proceeding was the proper forum for Mirant to seek relief from any of its power contracts. We find that the district court's jurisdictional ruling is erroneous. I Mirant is one of the largest regulated public utilities in the United States. PEPCO is also a regulated public entity responsible for servicing the power needs of residential and commercial consumers in the District of Columbia and Maryland. The Schedule 2.4 payments relating to these unassigned PPAs are referred to by the parties. The parties agree that the Back to Back Agreement's rate for electricity is higher than the market rate.

Are appellees in these appeals. EIF was the primary creditor of Magnolia Gas Company. The actions were stayed after the debtors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court entered orders submitted by the debtors and EIF and they were sent by general mailing to the other creditors. Four such orders were entered and sent to appellees: (1) Agreed Order Regarding Limited Use of Cash Collateral filed January 21. Nothing in the captions or the lead in statements in the orders suggested that lien priority among creditors was being re established to place EIF's pre petition lien priority in front of the mechanics and materialmen liens. The bankruptcy court found the language contained in the cash collateral orders was insufficient to provide notice to the other creditors and that binding the creditors to the language of those orders would violate their due process rights.
529 ELLIOTT V. U.S.F.E.R.C.

529 OPINION/ORDER
Circuit Judge: The issue in this case is whether a district court may authorize the rejection of an executory 2 contract for the purchase of electricity as part of a bankruptcy reorganization. The district court held that a FERC proceeding was the proper forum for Mirant to seek relief from any of its power contracts. We find that the district court's jurisdictional ruling is erroneous. I Mirant is one of the largest regulated public utilities in the United States. PEPCO is also a regulated public entity responsible for servicing the power needs of residential and commercial consumers in the District of Columbia and Maryland. The Schedule 2.4 payments relating to these unassigned PPAs are referred to by the parties. The parties agree that the Back to Back Agreement's rate for electricity is higher than the market rate. The PPAs are long term fixed rate contracts to purchase electricity from outside suppliers that PEPCO used to supplement its energy needs before deregulation. 4 1 First.

We reverse because the district court abused its discretion when it determined that Hansen is likely to succeed on the merits. The court stated that a preliminary injunction was warranted because Hansen had shown a probability of success on the merits. DISCUSSION [1] The central issue in this appeal is whether the grant of a preliminary injunction constitutes an abuse of discretion because Hansen failed to demonstrate probable success on the merits. In an Hansen later added a count for trademark infringement that is not pertinent to this appeal. 2 HANSEN BEVERAGE v. Probable success on the merits is established by a showing that the movant's trade dress is protectable (nonfunctional and distinctive). Is whether the district court erred in finding that Freek's trade dress creates a likelihood of confusion.5 [2] National contends that the district court erred in finding a likelihood of confusion because it improperly refused to give preclusive effect to findings by the District Court for the District of Nevada in Hansen Beverage Co. v.

That FERC's approval of monthly netting for NYISO was unlawful and unreasonable. The vast majority of electricity generation in the state of New York is now performed by independent wholesale generators. New York state's transmission grid today is operated and controlled by the not for profit New York Independent System Operator. It is transmitted across the state over NYISO's transmission facilities (or grid). It is then stepped down and delivered to a retail user over a utility's local distribution lines. 4 Jurisdiction over this sale and delivery of electricity is split between the federal government and the states on the basis of the type of service being provided and the nature of the energy sale. The actual unbundling of the New York electric energy market after 1996 was made possible by FERC's Order 888.

(1) This order and judgment is not binding precedent. Because the parties are familiar with the facts as set forth in the Tax Court's memorandum and opinion. Walford's deduction for losses in 1981 arising from the Sav Fuel investment was properly disallowed because the partnership did not have the requisite profit motive under 26 U.S.C. 183.(2) The court further found that Mr. Walford was liable for an addition to tax and increased interest. Walford does not argue that these penalties were erroneously assessed. We will consider only his arguments challenging the Tax Court's conclusion that the Sav Fuel partnership was not engaged in a profit making activity. We affirm.(3) Whether Sav Fuel was intended as a profit making venture is a question of fact that this court will not disturb unless clearly erroneous. A finding of fact is clearly erroneous only when. We are definitely and firmly convinced that a mistake has been made. We conclude that the Tax Court's finding that Sav Fuel lacked an actual profit objective is not clearly erroneous. </TD> </TR> <TR CLASS="swhit"> <TD CLASS="swrank"><IMG SRC="/usca/images/score-5.gif" ALT="510"></TD> <TD CLASS="swtitle"><A HREF="http://www.law.emory.edu/11circuit/july97/95-6850.opa.html">STONE & WEBSTER ENG'G CORP.

At ultimate issue is the defendant employers' failure to hire the employees engaged at the site from the plaintiff union's hiring hall. The parties have been ceaselessly embroiled in this matter for over eight years. During this time they have appeared before the district court thrice and an arbitrator once. They are now before this Court for the third time. Given what appears to us to be the relatively modest stakes and the fact that the primary point of contention in the case will probably never recur. [fn2] it is unfortunate that their litigation strategies have prevented them from settling. We can only hope that the opinion that follows will edge them toward a swift resolution of their remaining disputes instead of propelling them back to the arbitrator for another round of pugnacious battle. One we will answer in the affirmative. Is whether the district court erred in not applying retrospectively the National Labor Relation Board's decision in John Deklewa & Sons. A host of other questions is also before us.

Test the controls to ensure that no energy is flowing to the equipment. Eilerman was aware that the lockout/tagout procedure was part of the plant's safety rules and expected to be disciplined if he did not follow it. 2 Eilerman had personally performed the lockout/tagout procedure every time he performed maintenance on a piece of equipment. Eilerman and Danzig were responsible for loading rail cars with meal. So the only evidence in the record of the relevant events is Danzig's deposition testimony.

The proposed line was to run from Block 207 to an onshore station in Garden City. Required a comparative hearing because its application and the Nautilus application were mutually exclusive. Since it contended the capacity of the Manta Ray system was not sufficient to supply gas to both projects. The Commission denied ANR's motion for consolidation and a comparative hearing because in its view the two pro jects were not necessarily mutually exclusive and the public interest could best be served by allowing market forces to channel demand. At the same time it issued a preliminary determination that ANR's application was also in the public interest.
