Berryhill v. Calbone, No. 05-5144, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 20, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: State appellate court considered the inmate's Fourth Amendment claim and, applying appropriate Supreme Court precedent, rejected the claim on its merits. Based on that record, the inmate had multiple opportunities to litigate the Fourth Amendment issues fully and fairly, and thus was not entitled to a COA under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253(c)(2).

Overview: Where a lessee was awarded damages for its negligence claim against a contractor regarding a fire, the district court did not err in submitting a comparative negligence instruction to the jury under Colo.

Green v. Whetsel, No. 05-6300, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 20, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Pretrial detainee was denied COA under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2253(c)(2) because he did not make substantial showing of denial of constitutional right, as district court's decision to dismiss 28 U.S.C.S. § 2241 petition based on abstention doctrine was not reasonably subject to debate and detainee's claims were not adequate to deserve further proceedings.

Kirtley v. Sovereign Life Ins. Co. (In re Durability, Inc.), No. 04-5133, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 20, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: The bankruptcy court erred in holding that an insurance policy had lapsed prior to a bankruptcy filing against the insured because, although a premium was not paid in advance due to a returned draft, the next month's draft by the insurer was paid and should have been applied to the unpaid premium because it was accepted within the grace period.

Parker v. Simmons, No. 05-3194, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 20, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Court of appeals refused to issue COA so state inmate could appeal district court's judgment denying his petition for habeas relief under 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 because reasonable jurists would not debate district court's ruling that inmate's rights to a speedy trial and effective assistance of counsel were not violated during his trial in state court.

View this case - free  

Overview: The dismissal of an action was affirmed because an inmate's guilty plea in Oklahoma state court precluded his claims under 42 U.S.C.S. § 1983 and RICO challenging the legality of his arrest since his civil claims sought to undermine the validity of a conviction that had not been reversed, declared invalid, or otherwise called into question.

View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: The denial of defendant's application for a writ of coram nobis was affirmed because his assertion that his 30-month sentence, which he stipulated to as part of his plea agreement, was inconsistent with Blakely and Booker was not sufficient to fall within the extremely narrow scope of coram nobis.
