View this case - free  

Overview: The appellate court concluded that the evidence established a prima facie case under the Michigan Whistleblowers' Protection Act, MCL § 15.362, and that the question of whether the employer acted on the basis of a legitimate, non-retaliatory reason in the discharge was a disputed question of fact that precluded summary judgment.

United States v. Pettie, No. 06-3458, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, June 19, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: District court's imposition of a 77-month sentence for defendant's violation of 18 U.S.C.S. § 922(g)(1) was procedurally reasonable; grounds for sentence were adequately articulated. Although defendant cared for his parents, the district court was not required to explicitly discuss the impact that the sentence would have on defendant's parents.

Williams v. McLemore, No. 05-2678, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, June 19, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Prisoner failed to show that the employees and guards were subjectively aware of the prisoner's alleged threat of harm, but there were sufficient facts to support a finding that the warden acted unreasonably in returning the prisoner to the correctional facility without investigating the prisoner's claims that he would be harmed.

Wogoman v. Abramajtys, No. 05-2296, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT, June 19, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: When the case on which a state prisoner's 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 petition was denied was overruled, his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion was properly denied because Rule 60(b)(5) did not apply when a later precedent overturned a rule that was relied upon by a prior case, and the change regarding time limitations was insufficient to invoke Rule 60(b)(6).
