Overview: Denial of a supplemental security income to a claimant for benefits, under 42 U.S.C.S. § 1383(c)(3), was affirmed as an administrative law judge properly disregarded a determination of antisocial personality disorder by one psychologist, and properly disregarded a vocational expert's responses to hypothetical questions by the claimant's counsel.

|
Overview: Because modifications made were not material and adverse, and therefore the bankruptcy court could properly deem plaintiff's vote in favor of a prior plan to be a vote in favor of the modified plan, and because the interim distribution provision did not violate the equal treatment provision, 11 U.S.C.S. § 1123(a)(4), the modified plan was upheld.

|

|
Overview: Where a sentence in a drug case was remanded for resentencing, the law-of-the-case doctrine precluded review of arguments not raised prior to the remand, except those based on a reasonableness argument under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a), since new law had been decided regarding the discretionary application of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual.

|
Overview: Because a reasonable jury could have found that Medicare claims were fraudulent because there was insufficient supervision of technicians by a physician, a motion for a judgment of acquittal under Fed. R. Crim. P. 29 was improperly granted. However, since this conspiracy theory was supported only by a tenuous inference, a new trial was appropriate.

|
Overview: Delegating to probation office discretion to require defendant to undergo drug or alcohol treatment and/or to require mental health counseling and treatment was a delegation of a judicial function, which violated U.S. Const. art. III. Error was plain error, and relief was warranted because delegating treatment decision affected substantial rights.
