Bankruptcy – Unsettled Trustee Claims
MMR has appealed; Rose has not. (Matt Rose also purports to appeal, but he was not a party in the district court.)
Proper Venue
Wine and Canvas Development, LLC, Anthony Scott, Tamara McCracken, and Donald McCracken sued Christopher Muylle, Theodore Weisser, YN Canvas CA, LLC, Art Uncorked LLC, and Weisser Management Group LLC, bringing federal trademark and state law claims.
Statutory of Interpretation
The sole question before us is whether an “intoxicating liquor” dealership, as defined by Wis. Stat. § 135.02(3)(b), includes one that involves wine.
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
In 2012 a jury convicted Franchie Farmer of armed bank robbery, see 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and (d), and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence, see id. § 924(c)(1)(A)(ii).
Abuse of Discretion
Union Pacific Railroad challenges the legal authority of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to continue an enforcement action after issuing a right to sue letter and subsequent resolution of the underlying charges of discrimination in a private lawsuit.
Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995
The plaintiff here is a rail carrier, Chessie Logistics, which claims it was injured when its neighbor Krinos damaged its railroad tracks.
Court Error – Jury Instructions and Sufficiency of Evidence
The plaintiff in this case wants a new trial based on a jury instruction he agreed to and admission of two exhibits to which he did not object on the grounds he argues on appeal.
Abuse of Discretion
Plaintiffs are former arbitrators for the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission. In 2011, plaintiffs and another arbitrator brought a due process action challenging the implementation of House Bill 1698, a workers’ compensation reform statute that had terminated their six‐ year appointments under prior law.
Jurisdiction
Regency Corporation operated for‐profit cosmetology schools in 20 states. Each Regency Beauty Institute offered both classroom instruction and practical instruction in a “Regency Salon,” where members of the public could receive cosmetology services at low prices.
Bankruptcy – Post-Petition Transfer
This is our fifth appeal dealing with Sentinel. In a pair of cases decided in 2013 and 2016, we addressed the priority of a claim against the bankruptcy estate by the Bank of New York, Sentinel’s largest (but no longer secured) creditor.
Motion to Suppress Evidence Denied
Police officers searched Chad Hansmeier’s home based on a search warrant and found various drug-dealing paraphernalia.
Abuse of Discretion
By all accounts, Michele DiCosola was, until 2007, a legitimate business owner.
