Alexander v. Addison, No. 05-6062, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: A procedural ruling that a prisoner's habeas petition was time-barred was undebatably correct and did not warrant a COA because the petition was not timely filed within one year after AEDPA's effective date and the tolling provision of 28 U.S.C.S. § 2244(d)(2) did not apply when the convictions were final before the Blakely decision.

Brereton v. Bountiful City Corp., No. 05-4067, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Although a seller did not have standing to challenge the restrictions of Bountiful City, Utah, Code § 13-1-103(4)(a), (b), a dismissal with prejudice was inappropriate since it was based on jurisdictional grounds; moreover, a denial of leave to amend under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) based on futility also did not warrant a dismissal with prejudice.

Ellsworth v. Gibson, No. 05-7047, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: District court did not abuse its discretion in granting Fed. R. Civ.

Henderson v. Ray, No. 04-6391, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: District court correctly dismissed an inmate's motion for an extension in which to file a motion for rehearing on the ground that the notice of appeal from the denial of habeas relief divested it of jurisdiction because the motion was not filed within the Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 time period and, thus, he did not file a jurisdiction-divesting motion.

View this case - free  

Overview: Court of appeals found that inmate was not entitled to take advantage of prison mailbox rule because he did not allege that he made timely use of prison's legal mail system or that he gave documents to prison authorities, postage prepaid, and it upheld district court's judgment denying inmate's motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal.

View this case - free  

Overview: A judge's failure to accurately quote a witness's testimony and reference to video testimony of a witness who testified in person did not suggest bias or prejudice or justify relief from judgment in an SEC enforcement action; therefore, there was no abuse of discretion in the denial of defendant's motion to recuse and Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion.

Stepnay v. Goff, No. 05-3203, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, January 26, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because pro se litigants were to be given reasonable opportunity to remedy the defects in their pleadings, and because amendment was not futile, the district court erred when it dismissed the inmate's Eighth Amendment complaint under 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915(e) without first giving him an opportunity to amend his complaint to cure any deficiencies.

View this case - free  

Overview: Dismissal of a prisoner's personal injury complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C.S. § 1915(e)(2)(B) was proper because the prisoner presented no intelligible argument that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing the complaint after finding that it consisted of unintelligible ramblings and did not rest on a cognizable legal interest.
