River St. Donuts, LLC v. Napolitano, No. 07-2504, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT, March 4, 2009, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Since the administrative appeals office (AAO) proffered a rational reason for its reversal in policy and because it consistently applied that policy since 2003, the court saw no reason to interfere with the AAO's change of policy regarding depreciation and its denial of the company's employment based visa application under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1153(b)(3).

United States v. Alberico, No. 06-1502, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT, March 5, 2009, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: District court properly denied defendant's motion for judgment of acquittal based on her argument that the statute of limitations barred her money laundering conviction under 18 U.S.C.S. § 1956 because the failure to file and report capital gains was directly relevant to the conspiracy, and thus, it affected the statute of limitations calculus.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant deliberately chose not to request a statute of limitations jury instruction under Fed. R. Crim. P. 30(a) at the charge conference as a matter of trial strategy. The informed decision to decline to exercise the right to request a specific jury instruction was a straightforward example of an intentional relinquishment subject to waiver.
