View this case - free

Stat. § 24-10-109.

View this case - free  

Overview: Objection to the misappropriation jury instruction on the ground that it provided that the company's misappropriation claim required proof that the corporation had profited from the misappropriation was denied where what the company sought was an instruction on conversion, but since its claim was for misappropriation, that argument was unavailing.

View this case - free

Bernate v. Gonzales, No. 06-9540, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT, April 27, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because an alien did not affirmatively argue that any decision he made during his criminal proceedings demonstrated objective reliance on the availability of former § 212(c) relief, and the record revealed nothing about his criminal proceedings except the fact of his conviction, he failed to show that he qualified for relief under Hem v. Mauer.

View this case - free  

Overview: Sentence was affirmed because the record demonstrated that the district court correctly applied the guidelines and considered 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a)'s factors making it procedurally reasonable, and because the sentence was within the guidelines, it was entitled to a presumption of substantive reasonableness that defendant failed to rebut.
