View this case - free  

Overview: Because a "more than one organ of the same type" exclusion was not reasonably susceptible to more than one interpretation, no uncertainty existed as to the meaning of any term, and an insured received a second liver transplant within days after the first one failed, the decision to exclude coverage under an ERISA plan was reasonable.

View this case - free  

Overview: Because jurists of reason would not find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its procedural ruling based on a prisoner's failure to exhaust his state remedies, the court denied the prisoner's request for a COA to challenge the dismissal of his § 2254 petition and dismissed the matter.

View this case - free  

Overview: In light of the significant shift in the evidentiary burden on whether a prisoner failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as required by 42 U.S.C.S. § 1997e(a) following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Jones v. Bock, the court remanded to the district court all rulings on exhaustion for further proceedings in keeping with the new law.

View this case - free  

Overview: The district court held that a prisoner's § 2254 habeas petition was time-barred. On appeal, petitioner did not even address that conclusion and thus, he completely failed to carry his burden of demonstrating that the ruling was subject to debate. The appeals court denied his request for a COA and dismissed the appeal.

View this case - free  

Overview: A slightly flawed transcript did not prejudice an alien's ability to appeal the denial of cancellation of removal to the BIA or to seek court review; since the alien failed to show that his ability to present his argument was prejudiced, he failed to establish his claim for a due process violation.
