View this case - free  

Overview: Tax assessment by the United States Tax Court was affirmed as money that a taxpayer received from his employer was gross income rather than payments under an accountable plan under 26 U.S.C.S. § 62 and 26 C.F.R. § 1.62-2. Further, payments that the taxpayer received for tools he sold to his employer were a return of capital with a zero cost basis.

Overview: In a very brief order, without stating its factual analysis, the court held that defendant could not show that the trial court's Booker error--sentencing defendant based in part on a judge-made drug quantity finding--constituted plain error; defendant could not show that he probably would have received a more favorable sentence absent Booker error.

Overview: Appellate court lacked jurisdiction to consider a decision denying a lobbyist summary judgment on a public employee's First Amendment claims as his Noerr-Pennington defense was not inextricably intertwined with a legislator's and the trustee's claims of immunity. The legislator and trustees were entitled to qualified immunity.
