View this case - free  

Overview: District court properly denied attorney's fees to law firm for its post-judgment representation of company, given unlikelihood that appellee would be able to recover full amount of judgment owed by company. The firm should have been allowed to withdraw, given stage of litigation, lack of prejudice, and unreasonable financial burden that firm faced.

View this case - free  

Overview: In awarding attorney fees under 42 U.S.C.S. § 1988, district court did not abuse its discretion by concluding that landowners' unsuccessful claims were so closely related to their successful First Amendment retaliation and their mandamus claims that no reduction in fees was warranted because all claims held common core of operative facts.

View this case - free  

Overview: Alien's claims for asylum and withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C.S. §§ 1158 and 1231(b)(3) were remanded because an IJ's adverse credibility determination was not supported by substantial evidence; the IJ's finding that the alien was not credible based on, inter alia, a failure to make eye contact was speculative and based on personal opinion.

Safeguard Lighting Sys. v. N. Am. Specialty Ins. Co., NO. 05-3866, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT, January 25, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Insureds' motion for reconsideration of denial of their motion to vacate and strike judgment entered under E.D. Pa. Civ. R. 41.1(b) dismissing with prejudice their action against insurer was properly denied because under settlement, insurer was to pay insureds sum in exchange for executed settlement agreement, so dismissal of action was proper.

United States v. Wynn, No. 05-4775, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT, January 25, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's 210 month sentence for 21 U.S.C.S. § 841(a)(1), 846, offense was not unreasonable. District court could consider hearsay evidence in adopting managerial/supervisory role enhancement under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3B1.1(b). District court sufficiently explained why disparate sentence under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a)(6) was proper.
