Onwuamaegbu v. Gonzales, No. 05-1181, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT, December 6, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because an IJ failed to pinpoint with sufficient clarity a precise rationale for denying a waiver of removability under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1182(h) to a lawful permanent resident (LPR), and because the BIA summarily affirmed the IJ's decision, the court lacked an adequate basis upon which to determine if the BIA properly denied reconsideration to the LPR.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's fraud conviction was upheld because district court appropriately allowed the jury to consider the government's summary charts during its deliberations under Fed. R. Evid. 611(a) and 703, although prior introduction of the underlying documents would not have barred the district court from admitting the summaries under Fed. R. Evid. 1006.

View this case - free  

Overview: Judgment, which pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

View this case - free  

Overview: District court properly denied the children's claim under 29 U.S.C.S. § 1132(a)(3) for equitable relief on the ground that delay in furnishing the insurance forms was a breach of fiduciary duty where sending the forms within a week or so after employment, where no promise or plan deadline was violated, did not comprise unreasonable conduct.

View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment for defendants was affirmed in a § 1983 action because D. Me. R. 56(b) and (c), like Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 itself, did not violate the Seventh Amendment; excessive force was not used in handcuffing and booking plaintiff; and claims first discussed in opposition to the summary judgment motion had not been properly pleaded.

View this case - free  

Overview: Motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3582(c) was properly denied because amendment adding application note to USSG § 3B1.1, which stated that an upward adjustment was appropriate only if a defendant managed one or more other participants in crime, did not qualify defendant for reduction. Defendant's record indicated such management.
