View this case - free  

Overview: Because school district was not "business" in the ordinary meaning of the word, it could not be the teacher's category two statutory employer, and was not entitled to immunity from tort suit under Idaho Code § 72-223. There was an issue of fact as to whether the teacher was a borrowed employee; therefore, summary judgment was improper on the issue.

Garcia v. Windley, Docket No. 32274, 2007 Opinion No. 102, SUPREME COURT OF IDAHO, July 31, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: The denial of a motion for summary judgment on mitigation was not reviewed because it was an interlocutory order from which no direct appeal could be taken. A proximate cause instruction that used a "but for" test was erroneously given because a "substantial factor" test needed to be employed in a case with multiple possible causes of injury.

State v. Field, Docket No. 33654, 2007 Opinion No. 101, SUPREME COURT OF IDAHO, July 31, 2007, Filed

Overview: Joinder of defendant's sexual offenses under Idaho Crim. R. 14 was erroneous because the similarities that both girls were only temporarily in the household, that the acts occurred in defendant's home, and that the abuse began with "innocent" touching were insufficient to prove a common scheme or plan.

Straub v. Smith, Docket No. 33348, 2007 Opinion No. 99, SUPREME COURT OF IDAHO, July 31, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because buyer and sellers agreed to dismiss buyer's action under Idaho R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii), sellers relinquished claim for attorney fees and costs. Had parties wished to reserve issue of fees from dismissal, they had the opportunity to expressly agree to such a provision. Buyer was awarded attorney fees on appeal under Idaho Code § 12-120(3).

State v. Smith, Docket No. 31830, 2007 Opinion No. 51, COURT OF APPEALS OF IDAHO, August 1, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Under Idaho Code §§ 18-2403(1), 18-2407(1)(b), district court did not err in sentences for grand theft to balance need for deterrence and rehabilitation with need for restitution. Idaho Crim. R. 35 motion was properly denied as sentences were not excessive. Under Idaho Code § 19-5304, awarding victim restitution for non-invoiced items was improper.

State v. Perry, Docket No. 33062, 2007 Opinion No. 52, COURT OF APPEALS OF IDAHO, August 3, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Statement from one minor victim did not show that she totally invented entire prior sexual incident with defendant; thus, evidence was not relevant either to rebut foster mother's statement that victims had never lied to her about a significant matter, or to impeach victims. Thus, under Idaho R. Evid. 401-403, and 412, evidence was inadmissible.

View this case - free  

Overview: Summary judgment in favor of prison officials was proper as prison inmate had no Fifth Amendment claim where statements after conviction did not implicate right against self-incrimination and were not used against him in criminal proceeding. Defendant's complained-of conditions were not sufficiently serious to amount to Eighth Amendment violation.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was not required to pay victim restitution for forfeited tuition and supplies because Idaho Code Ann. § 19-5304(2) prohibited restitution beyond that authorized by the victim restitution statute and prohibited victim restitution as a condition of probation in excess of that authorized by Idaho Code Ann. § 19-5304.

View this case - free  

Overview: Consideration of defendant's indigence in denying him probation did not violated the U.S. Constitution's Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses because such denial was related to the State's strong interest in disallowing probation for an offender who could not be adequately supervised or whose release would present an undue risk.

Overview: Even if officers had unlawfully arrested defendant under the Fourth Amendment and Idaho Const. art. I, § 17 when she fled the scene of a consensual encounter, a motion to suppress was properly denied because there was no causal connection between the arrest and the discovery of drugs inside of a car.
