1000 UNITED STATES CELLULAR INV. CO. V. SOUTHWESTERN BELL MOBILE SYS.

Background The Oklahoma City SMSA Limited Partnership (OKC Partnership) was formed among competing applicants to operate a cellular telephone system within the five county area of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Statistical Area (Oklahoma City MSA). SBMS was the sole and managing general partner with a 40% interest as a general partner and a 22% interest as a limited partner. The remaining 38% interest was held by three other limited partners. The primary issue in this lawsuit is whether SBMS could expand into these rural areas on its own behalf. Or whether instead it was obligated to do so on behalf of the limited partnership. The central sections of the Agreement in dispute are 8.8 and 7.2(f).

1000 01-9009 -- KATZ V. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE -- 07/07/2003

Aron Katz (Taxpayer) was a partner in a number of partnerships that suffered substantial losses during a year in which he filed for bankruptcy. The question before us is whether the Commissioner of Internal Revenue can challenge that allocation in a proceeding involving only the Taxpayer. We hold that a partnership level proceeding is necessary.
  1. Background

Taxpayer's partnerships did not do well in 1990. Although he could have elected to bifurcate his 1990 tax year into two short years. The remaining partnerships of which Taxpayer was a member did not distinguish between pre petition and post petition items in the K 1 forms they prepared. Are not subject to the federal income tax.

Is amended as follows: On slip opinion page 11556. Wright is distinguishable because. No assessment was made against the individual partners. Although an action against the partnership would have been timely. The only relevant question in Wright was whether the statute of limitations applicable to the partners should be tolled while the limitations period was tolled with respect to the partnership. Judges Kleinfeld and Graber have voted to deny the petition for rehearing en banc. The petition for rehearing and petition for rehearing en banc are DENIED. The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed proofs of claim against Debtors for unpaid employment taxes assessed against a partnership in which Debtors were general partners. The IRS's claims were properly disallowed because (1) the IRS cannot collect a partnership's tax deficiency directly from the partners without first making individualized assessments against the partners or obtaining judgments against the partners holding them jointly and severally liable for the partnership's tax debts.

All the partners were family members and/or close friends of Bailey's. The Partnership consisted of Bailey and eleven partners.

The Partnership Agreement was year to year. The Managing Partner shall have no authority to invest in and shall be specifically prohibited from investing Partnership funds in real estate. None of these transactions were authorized by the Partnership Agreement or the other partners. Bailey also apparently used funds transferred from the Partnership accounts to his personal accounts to pay for a new home he built for his family.

Bailey was required by the Partnership Agreement to provide quarterly reports to the partners. They also failed to reveal that Bailey was investing in futures. The Partnership capital was something less than $2000. The suit sought termination of the Partnership and to have an accounting. The two suits were certified as class actions and were consolidated.

The civil suits resulted in a settlement. Bailey was indicted in a twenty two count indictment.

898 OPINION/ORDER
The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed proofs of claim against Debtors for unpaid employment taxes assessed against a partnership in which Debtors were general partners. The IRS's claims were properly disallowed because (1) the IRS cannot collect a partnership's tax deficiency directly from the partners without first making individualized assessments against the partners or obtaining judgments against the partners holding them jointly and severally liable for the partnership's tax debts. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Debtors were general partners of Marina Cabrillo Partners (the Partnership). The IRS argues that its timely assessment of taxes against the Partnership allows it to collect taxes directly from the individual partners even though no separate assessment of tax liability was made against them. Only if the levy is made or the proceeding begun (1) within 10 years after the assessment of the tax[.]. So long as the IRS brings an action to collect the taxes within three years after the taxpayer's return was filed.

The tax court held that this argument was barred by the doctrine of the duty of consistency. The taxpayer is placed under a duty of consistency when: (1) the taxpayer has made a representation or reported an item for tax purposes in one year.

BACKGROUND

537 JAMES BARLOW FAMILY LTD. PARTNERSHIP V. MUNSON

Over whether the Barlows are entitled to royalty payments from the federal leases. I. The leases at issue in this case cover federal lands in western Colorado on which unpatented oil shale claims were located. Oil shale claimants and the Department of the Interior were involved in disputes over the claimants' rights to mineral patents on these and other lands where oil shale claims were located. The government contended that many oil shale claims were void for lack of valid discovery and for failure of the claimants to perform required annual assessment work. Since the mineral claims were staked prior to 1920. The government issued federal oil and gas leases on some of the lands which were involved in oil shale disputes. The Barlows (or their predecessors in interest) acquired in the early 1970s federal leases which were subject to outstanding oil shale claims. Since much of the area of interest was covered by disputed oil shale claims. Munson was uncertain how to lease oil and gas rights. Both of which were successors in interest to oil shale claimants.

537 OPINION/ORDER
Have brought this RICO class action on behalf of all individuals who played NHL professional hockey during the time in which defendant R. Count II of the complaint alleges that Eagleson and certain companies with which he was affiliated conspired to pilfer NHLPA funds over the course of many years. The principal issue on this appeal is whether the district court correctly granted Eagleson and the NHL defendants summary judgment on Count I on statute of limitations grounds. Thus is not at issue on appeal. We nevertheless have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Alan Eagleson was executive director of the NHLPA. Which would otherwise have been prohibited by the players' contracts. The participation of the best NHL players was essential to the success of the tournaments. Hockey Canada was to be paid the first $600. All other net revenues were to be split equally between the NHL clubs and the NHLPA. The NHL players earned little additional pay for playing in the tournaments and were induced to participate on the understanding that they would be benefitting their pension fund.

The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. (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.

Petitioners Appellants have been assessed tax deficiencies (including penalties against Ballard) totaling $1. (2) that the evidence adduced at trial is insufficient to support the Tax Court's 1 Mary B. Ballard is a participant in this dispute solely as a result of having filed joint tax returns with her spouse Claude M. All references will be to Claude M. We find that the application of Rule 183 did not violate Petitioners Appellants' due process rights and that the evidence is sufficient to support the Tax Court's finding that Ballard received and fraudulently failed to report income. Both Ballard and Lisle worked in Prudential's real estate department which was divided into two divisions: equity operations and mortgage operations. Prudential was one of the largest owners of commercial real estate in the United States. Their offices were located next to one another.

Kuntz was severely injured when a metal rod he was removing from a billboard came in contact with an electric transmission line operated by defendant Kootenai Electric Cooperative. Because some of its members are citizens of Washington. As is Kuntz. The Cooperative claims that complete diversity of citizenship is lacking. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm the judgment of the district court in all respects. Kuntz was an independent contractor in the business of removing and replacing advertising placards on billboards. This billboard had a vinyl sign that was secured by 14 metal rods. The Cooperative is a cooperative marketing association organized to generate and distribute electric power to its members. The Cooperative is incorporated in the State of Idaho and has its principal place of business there. After the reconstruction project was completed. The conductor nearest to the billboard was eight feet from the billboard.1 The Cooperative did not warn Lamar or Kuntz that a conductor was closer to the billboard than before the reconAnother. </TD> </TR> <TR CLASS="swhit"> <TD CLASS="swrank"><IMG SRC="/usca/images/score-3.gif" ALT="388"></TD> <TD CLASS="swtitle"><A HREF="http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/ca9/newopinions.nsf/1EE2602A384FB58188256D7C0077B4E1/$file/0015474.pdf?openelement">OPINION/ORDER</A><BR> I. Facts and Procedural History Appellee EBI is in the business of repairing and maintaining sewer pipes and other structures that convey sewage. EBI then learned that Riley and Kunimitsu were the sole partners of Kamaaina Pumping and terminated their employment. It concluded that the appropriate remedy for the employees' breach of the duty of loyalty was disgorgement of profits Riley and Kunimitsu made while competing with EBI. Breach of the Duty of Loyalty The primary issue on appeal is whether EBI may bring a claim under Hawaii law against its employees for directly competing against it. We conclude that Hawaii law would recognize EBI's claim against Riley and Kunimitsu for their breach of the duty of loyalty. [1] It is clear under Hawaii law that employees owe their employer a duty of loyalty. Hawaii courts have recognized the authoritative nature of the Restatement (Second) of Agency. We thus believe that the Hawaii Supreme Court would follow the Restatement in finding that such a cause of action exists.

Advised her that there was no set track to partnership but that Byrd likely would be considered for partnership within two to three years provided she met the performance standards. She was its highest paid associate. During her two year tenure she was responsible for generating almost $100. Her areas of practice with H & M were concentrated principally in commercial loan workouts and federal banking regulation. By the fall of 1989 her responsibilities included all H & M bankruptcy cases as well.2 A major client during this period was Boston Five Cents Savings Bank. Told Ronayne that she and others in her department were dissatisfied with Byrd's work and doubted that she had the bankruptcy law knowledge she claimed.

New West is trying to litigate the tenants' rights rather than its own. The district court held that this defensive use is the exclusive remedy. That would be so if defendants were private actors. §1983 allows a suit against state actors when the objective is to obtain a declaration that a rule of federal law supersedes the rules that the state actors are implementing. Dismissing this claim was especially inappropriate. As the suit in which preemption would be offered as a defense is itself in federal court.
