|||||
Overview: Counsel identified a litany of potential arguments but concluded that all of them were frivolous; in particular, the appellate court agreed that challenging the sufficiency of the evidence would have been frivolous and the district court did not err in denying defendant's pro se motion for appointment of substitute counsel, among other claims.

|||||
Overview: Because sentencing courts were not free to reject the 100:1 powder cocaine to crack cocaine sentencing ratio that Congress had mandated, such an argument would have been frivolous, and because the district court properly considered the relevant 18 U.S.C.S. § 3553(a) factors, the appellate court granted counsel's motion to withdraw.

Overview: Substantial evidence did not support the denial of an asylum application submitted under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1158 by aliens, a husband and wife, who claimed to have fled Cameroon because the wife's mother insisted that she undergo female genital mutilation; the BIA disregarded key evidence that was specific to the aliens' case.

|||||

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT, May 25, 2007, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Police investigator's report to his supervisors of suspected misconduct by members of a gang task force was not protected speech under the First Amendment, as his speech was part of his official duties and he was not speaking as a citizen; the investigator therefore failed to state a claim for retaliation under § 1983.
