Alberto San, Inc. v. Consejo De Titulares Del Condominio San Alberto, No. 07-1605, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT, March 28, 2008, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Given the congressional intent to limit § 1983 claims brought under federal question jurisdiction to situations of state action, it was inappropriate to grant such relief in the owner's case because there was no joint participation by the board with the state or its agents, and there was no coercion or significant encouragement by the state.

Overview: Certification of injunctive class under 15 U.S.C.S. § 26 was reversed because plaintiffs lacked standing to sue for injunctive relief under the federal antitrust laws. Circumstances had changed such that there was no longer a live controversy between named plaintiffs and car manufacturers to bolster plaintiffs' standing to seek injunctive relief.

United States v. Soares, No. 07-1479, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT, March 28, 2008, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Reasonable view of evidence supported denial of defendant's motion to suppress a gun found in pat-frisk warrantless search because officers had justification under the Fourth Amendment to pat-frisk defendant, who refused repeated orders to remain still and keep his hands in officer's view and became increasingly agitated as traffic stop progressed.

View this case - free  

Overview: Petition for review was denied because court found that inconsistencies about the funding and selling of alien's home raised issues of credibility regarding alien's reasons for fleeing to the United States, which went to the heart of his application. Denial of the asylum claim also effectively disposed of his withholding of removal claim.

Five Star Transp., Inc. v. NLRB, No. 07-1316, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT, March 31, 2008, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: NLRB properly found the school bus drivers to be protected by the NLRA because the letters they sent to the school district were "concerted activity" under 29 U.S.C.S. § 157 of the NLRA since the fact that the drivers' letters spoke to the same concerns raised at their union meeting gave credence to the NLRB's finding that they did not act alone.

View this case - free  

Overview: U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1 enhancement was proper where that the name of a fictitious person was used on one of the checks, in addition to the account number and payor name of two actual entities, was immaterial since the definition of "means of identification" included any name or number that may be used, alone or in conjunction with any other information.
