View this case - free  

Overview: The summary dismissal of a former employee's Title VII claim was affirmed because there was no mention of Title VII in her administrative charge and thus, it was not exhausted. A district court did not err in denying the employee's Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(a) motion because she improperly sought to blame the court for the jury's adverse decision.

Pond v. Comm'r, No. 06-9002, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 4, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although a 1040 Form was a collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act, whether a taxpayer's challenged forms were excepted from the requirements of 44 U.S.C.S. § 3512 could not be addressed because he did not include the forms in the record; a Code provision that provided a specific exemption amount defied his other argument.
