Mr Sundstrom Case
As you are aware, on January 8, 2013, my estranged and mentally son filed a malicious mental health application
against me. I now refer to him as Petitioner. Petitioner, an attorney has a Princeton University Degree and a UVA Law
degree. For this reason FMRS granted Petitioner impunity. According to Mr. Sundstrom, Petitioner touted his first–
class education to insure FMRS employees granted his request. As a result, Mr. Sundstrom granted Petitioner's
request, ignoring many inconsistencies in the application. To quote the late psychiatrist, Dr. Gordon Livingston, If the
map doesn't agree with the ground, the map is wrong. Defying common sense, Mr. Sundstrom chose to believe the
map wrong, Mr. Sundstrom chose to forego asking the right questions and Mr. Sundstrom ignored my goddaughter's

Essay on Legal Writing Graded Project 2
Brown v Board of Ed. Topeka Kansas (1954) by Alexes Mercado http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/early–
civilrights/brown.html The 14th Amendment states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or
enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. In the early 1950's, racial segregation in public schools was normal all
across America. Although all the schools were ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Another main argument was that "separate but equal doctrine" was not effective because the accommodations for
blacks' educational institutions were far inferior to those of white. Expert witness, Dr. Hugh W. Speer testified as
follows: "...if the colored children are denied the experience in school of associating with white children, who
represent 90 percent of our national society in which these colored children must live, then the colored child's
curriculum is being greatly curtailed. The Topeka curriculum or any school curriculum cannot be equal under
segregation." The Board of Education's defense was that segregated schools simply prepared black children for the
segregation they would face during adulthood. The Board further argued that segregated schools were not necessarily
harmful to black children because many great African Americans, such as Booker T. Washington, and George
Washington Carver had overcome more than just segregated schools to achieve what they achieved. They also added
that even though the 14th Amendment did not specifically include a ban on segregated education, at the time it was
enacted, there was no public education system in the country at the time. Therefore, they would argue that the 14th
Amendment would naturally not have addressed

Public Safety Outweigh Petitioner 's First Amendment Right
C. The interest of public safety outweighs Petitioner's First Amendment right to record.
Petitioner's recording posed an unreasonable risk to bystanders, passing motorist, and the police, essentially creating
an inherently dangerous situation. Kelly v. Borough of Carlisle, 622 F.3d 248, 262 (3d Cir. 2010). The Third Circuit
has firmly recognized that traffic stops are especially fraught with danger to police officers. Id. A traffic stop always
poses danger because of its unpredictable nature, but even more so, when a potential suspect is on the loose.
Petitioner was a suspect for a crime of several residential break–ins, which a reasonable office would assume is armed
and dangerous; thus creating a heightened risk to the officers' safety. Furthermore, the Petitioner was stopped on the
side of a road congested with traffic. If the officers do not maintain control of the situation, any unpredictable
movement could result in grave injury; therefore, the police officers acted reasonably by minimizing the unnecessary
danger added by Petitioner's recording during an already dangerous situation.
D. Petitioner's recording is not a matter of public interest that carried any expressive or communicative purpose.
The encounter Petitioner recorded is not a matter of public interest. Although there is a broad First Amendment right
to film matters of public interest, the extend of that right to film public officials have not been explicitly defined by

Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company, Petitioner...
LEGAL ANALYSIS 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Sheila White interviewed with Marvin Brown and obtained a job
as a "track laborer" with Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company. Shortly after her hire date, however, she
assumed forklift operator duties. This new assignment still fell under the "track laborer" position description, and
White occasionally performed those duties although her primary responsibility was operating the forklift. Three
months into her new job, White complained to the company that her immediate supervisor was sexually harassing her
on the job. He was temporarily suspended and required to attend sexual harassment training. White was then
informed that she was being reassigned to track labor duties only. White ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
ETHICAL ANALYSIS 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Please refer to the Statement of Facts under Legal Analysis. 2.
ETHICAL ISSUE STATEMENT: Did Burlington allow one individual, Marvin Brown, to make an unethical business
decision to retaliate against employee Sheila White? 3. SUPPORT FOR ETHICAL ISSUES: As stated in the case,
Burlington did not "question the jury's determination that the motivation for these acts was retaliatory." Inferring that
this is an admission of guilt by Burlington, one can conclude that a deliberate business decision to retaliate
outweighed any legal ramifications. The job for which Sheila White was hired was by her own admission too tough
for her to perform. "I was moving spike cans that weighed 150 pounds; I was unloading plates and loading plates,"
she said. "On the forklift I was pretty much stable because I knew exactly what I was doing. But the date that they
took me off that forklift and put me in the yard to work with the mens, I didn't know the first thing about it. And
everything out there is hot and heavy. You could easily get killed or hurt out there." The facts stated in the case
indicate that White was not a forklift operator immediately upon hire but took on that job role within a few weeks.
(Obviously from her statement above, she was struggling from the outset to perform duties as a track laborer.) The
hiring manager, Marvin Brown, may have

The Case Of Pope V. Illinois
On July 21, 1983 local police detectives in Rockford, Illinois entered two different local book stores and purchased
six magazines. Soon after exiting the store, police separately arrested clerks Richard Pope and Charles Morrison.
Both men were charged and convicted for selling obscene materials, in accordance with an Illinois statute. On appeal,
both petitioners argued that the Illinois statute was unconstitutional to both the first and Fourteenth Amendments.
They reasoned that the state was required to make the value determination by an objective standard rather than
community standard in conformance with the Miller decision, and the juries in this case had been instructed to judge
whether the material had value as viewed by ordinary adults in the state of Illinois. The Appellate Court rejected the
both petitioners' arguments and the Illinois Supreme court denied requests for further review, but the United States
Supreme Court granted certiorari and merged both cases for reexamination.
The case, Pope v. Illinois, was argued on February 24, 1987. Glenn A. Stanko represented the petitioners whose
argument was: The Illinois Obscenity Statute violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments by allowing the value
element to be determined by community standards and instructing the jury to do so. Therefore, the convictions against
petitioners must be reversed because the statute is invalid. Glenn Stanko made it clear that the petitioners did not

In reality, as other Hearing Officers have found, there is no such distinction. For the sake of this response, the District
responds to the issues generally, and according to the described sub–issues listed by specific letters as follows: (Sub–
issue a): Did the District fail to implement the IEP as written or change the IEP without parental input? No. Under the
IDEA students are entitled to a free and appropriate public education which conforms to the student's individual
education program. Under the IDEA and federal precedent, one of the factors used in determining whether a school
district substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE to a student is whether the services provided to the student
conformed to his or her IEP as it was written. (20 U.S.C. § 1400). Under Rowley and state and federal statutes, the
standard for determining whether a district's provision of services substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE
involves four factors: (1) the services must be designed to meet the student's unique needs; (2) the services must be
reasonably designed to provide some educational benefit; (3) the services must conform to the IEP as written; and, (4)
the program offered must be designed to provide the student with the foregoing in the least restrictive environment.
While this requires a school district to provide a disabled child with meaningful access to education, it does not mean

The Court Of A Public Telephone Booth
On the date of February 4th, 1965, believing that the Petitioner had been using public pay phones to transmit illegal
gambling wagers from Los Angeles to Miami and Boston, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began their
surveillance into the life of the Petitioner, Charles Katz. Fifteen days later on February 19th, 1965 FBI agents
working the case against the Petitioner had gained access to a phone booth within a set of phone booths that the
petitioner frequented on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and summarily recorded the petitioner's side of
conversations he was having on the phone within a booth nearby. This surveillance lasted until the 25th (excluding
February 22, as no evidence was obtained due to technical difficulties) the date of the petitioner's arrest, which took
place immediately after he exited the same set of phone booths (Brief for Respondent 3). In this case there are two
major constitutional questions which need to be addressed: (1) whether evidence obtained by attaching an electronic
listening and recording device to the top of a public telephone booth used and occupied by the Petitioner is gathered
in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (2) whether the search warrant used by the FBI officers in this case
violated the Fourth Amendment to the constitution in that the warrant was (a) not founded on probable cause; (b) an
evidentiary search warrant and (c) a general search warrant. While the Petitioner would like the answer to be yes in

Consulta failed to show that she worked definite hours. The amount of time, the methods and means, the management
and maintenance of her sales division were left to her sound judgment. Finally, Pamana paid Consulta not for labor
she performed but only for the results of her labor. Without results, Consulta's labor was her own burden and loss. Her
right to compensation, or to commission, depended on the tangible results of her work – whether she brought in
paying recruits. The fact that the appointment required Consulta to solicit business exclusively for Pamana did not
mean Pamana exercised control over the means and methods of Consulta's work as the term control is understood in
labor jurisprudence. Neither did it make Consulta an employee of Pamana. Pamana did not prohibit Consulta from
engaging in any other business, or from being connected with any other company, for as long as the business or

similar acts prejudicial to Pamana's business interest. Article 1306 of the Civil Code provides that "[t]he contracting

The act allows for each state to establish its own exchange, or if the state chooses not to establish one, then according
to the ACA, the federal government will establish "such exchange." One of the provisions of the ACA is that
individuals are required to maintain health insurance coverage through an exchange or make a payment to the IRS,
unless the cost of the coverage would exceed eight percent of the individual's income. The ACA also provides tax
credits for any "applicable taxpayer" but as long as they sign up through "an exchange established by the state." The
IRS interpreted the act as allowing tax credits for taxpayers who signed up for either the state–established exchange
or the federal exchange. Virginia is one of the states that is part of the federal exchange. The four residents do not
believe they should receive the tax credits since they are in a state that is part of the federal exchange, and therefore
would not be required to maintain health insurance coverage since their cost would exceed eight percent of their

In recent years, the central government has prioritized reducing the number of petitioners that come to Beijing. In
order to do this, the State Bureau for Letters and Visits has begun to penalize officials that oversee ineffective local
and regional petition offices. These penalties are levied when these officials fail to resolve petitioners' complaints
before they advance them to higher–level offices; the punishments themselves can range from mild reprimands to
career–jeopardizing public criticisms. As a result of these penalties, officials have a financial incentive to curb the
flow of petitioners to Beijing. In response to this financial incentive, local and provincial–level officials have
developed a system of extralegal detention to ensure that petitioners are intercepted and secretly detained before they
are detected seeking legal redress in Beijing. Once petitioners are abducted, they are transported to black jails.
Government employees are sometimes involved in this process, but in most instances, abductions and detentions are
carried out by private security forces that are paid by local and provincial governments. Private enterprises are also

conversations in a public location, but where the reasonable expectation of privacy is apparent. Holding and
Judgment: – Yes, the placement of an electronic listening device in a public location, but where a reasonable
expectation of privacy is upheld is a fourth amendment violation, which will require a warrant "search and seize" the
private conversations. – The conviction was overturned, the evidence against the petitioner was deemed to be a fourth

of privacy in their conversations, the conversations are protected by the fourth amendment. The government will

compensation to be given was fixed as RS.23100. But the Counsel said that the workman had died not because of the
injury sustained in an accident, but it happened while he was under employment and therefore the employer is liable
to pay the compensated amount. The insurer is liable to pay the amount only of the employer becomes insolvent or if
the employer is an organization then at the time of winding up. But in this case no liability is fixed on the insurer to
pay the amount since the risk was covered by a policy. The provisions contained in Section 14 of the Workmen's

The Debate Between Mark Steyn And The Muslim Petitioners...
Under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, everyone is guaranteed certain rights. One that stands out and is essential
to our society is the fundamental freedom of expression. Anyone can speak their opinion in public. However, the
government can in some instances limit these freedoms. The question that causes a lot of debate is in what instances
can the government genuinely limit people's rights while being justified in doing so. I believe the restrictions on
speech in Canada are appropriate. I believe that the government was correct in not intervening with the debate
between Mark Steyn and the Muslim petitioners because his article did not warrant enough to risk the safety of
Muslims, and by coercing Maclean's to post an opposing viewpoint would be a violation of their fundamental
freedom of expression. Per Mill's framework the government should not intervene in this case. Mill's belief is that
government intervention should only occur when there is physical harm. In this case, there is no physical harm, but
there is offence as Muslims are targeted by the article. Mill believes that if something is offensive, society cannot do
anything about it but avoid it or try to persuade the author to believe otherwise. The students attempted to persuade
Maclean's that the opinion stated in Steyn's argument was incorrect and hateful, and to post an opposing view but had
no luck. I believe the students should have then just informed people in Canada that Maclean's is offensive, and

Issues: What is the appropriate standard of review for evaluating on free speech aimed at protecting the rights of
women seeking abortion services? Do the expanded provisions of the injunction protecting the immediate
surroundings of the clinic unconstitutionally restrict petitioner's free speech rights? Do the restrictions establishing a
buffer zone around the homes of clinic staff violated the First Amendment? Answers of Holdings: Due to the
consent–neutral restriction, the Court determined that the terms of the injunction should be in which determining
whether they burden no more speech than is necessary to serve important state interests. The restrictions was upheld
and overturned in some parts. The Court found that the 36 foot buffer zone and the noise restrictions for the private
property around the clinic, then the 300 feet no approach zone, the protections around the clinic staff homes, and then
the objectionable imagery provision, claiming it restricted more speech than was necessary to protect important state

it to be upheld, need only it is limited in such a way to prohibit only enough speech as is necessary to serve some

Katz V. United States

POL 3231 Constitutional Law
17 November 2014
Katz v. United States (1967) On the date of February 4th, 1965, believing that the Petitioner had been using public
pay phones to transmit illegal gambling wagers from Los Angeles to Miami and Boston, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation began their surveillance into the life of the Petitioner, Charles Katz. Fifteen days later on February 19th,
1965 FBI agents working the case against the Petitioner had gained access to a phone booth within a set of phone
booths that the petitioner frequented on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and summarily recorded the petitioner's
side of conversations he was having on the phone within a booth nearby. This surveillance lasted until the 25th
(excluding February 22, as no evidence was obtained due to technical difficulties) the date of the petitioner's arrest,
which took place immediately after he exited the same set of phone booths. In this case there are two major
constitutional questions which need to be addressed: (1) whether evidence obtained by attaching an electronic
listening and recording device to the top of a public telephone booth used and occupied by the Petitioner is gathered
in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (2) whether the search warrant used by the FBI officers in this case
violated the Fourth Amendment to the constitution in that the warrant was (a) not founded on probable cause; (b) an
evidentiary search warrant and (c) a general search

Petitioner V. Kulbicki Case Study
the court case Maryland, Petitioner v. James Kulbicki, James Kulbicki fatally shot his 22–year–old–mistress. Kulbicki
shot his mistress on the weekend before he was scheduled for a hearing on unpaid child support, which was tied into a
paternity suit between Kulbicki and his mistress. At Kulbicki's trial, which began in 1995, evidence was presented
that the bullet removed from the head of Kulbicki's mistress matched the bullet fragment that was left in Kulbicki's
truck. FBI Agent Ernest Peele, who represented the CBLA (Comparative Bullet Lead Analysis), presented this
evidence. Peele also examined a bullet taken from Kulbicki's gun. Even though the bullet in the victim's brain was not
an "exact" match to the bullet found in the gun, Peele assumed that the bullet from the gun was similar enough to the
first two bullets found. Using ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Kulbicki's file stayed in the state court until 2006, when Kulbicki added an additional claim that his defense attorneys
did not adequately question the legitimacy of the ballistics evidence presented by the CBLA. Kulbucki lost in the
state courts and then appealed to the Court of Appeals of Maryland. The Court of Appeals then vacated Kulbucki's
conviction based on the fact that Kulbucki's attorneys did not question the legitimacy of the ballistics evidence, thus
the defense attorneys did not provide Kulbucki with effective assistance during the trial. However, the Supreme Court
of the United States held, in a per curiam opnion, that the Court of Appeals based the decision to vacate Kulbicki's
conviction on contemporary views of ballistic evidence. Since there was no reason for counsel to investigate the
validity of the ballistic evidence in 1995, the attorneys provided effective assistance to Kulbicki because effective
assistance did not require attorneys to verify the legitimacy of the ballistic evidence (Maryland v. Kulbicki, 136 S. Ct.

Judicial District Court affirmed the trial court's determination that § 125C.200 violated the Equal Protection Clause of
the Fourteenth Amendment by restricting a custodial parent's fundamental right to travel. The trial court also
concluded that even if § 125C.200 was constitutional, the mother was still permitted to relocate the minor child to

On The Evening Of September 20, 2013, Petitioner, Howard
On the evening of September 20, 2013, Petitioner, Howard Hou, was arrested for violating the City of Aston's
panhandling ordinance and for possession of marijuana with intent to sell or distribute. Historically, a fairly small,
rural city in the state of Famlawdia, composed of an approximate population of 29,000 residents. After many years of
changes to the historically sleepy western city, the historic layout of Aston is preserved in the Aston Downtown

The job market leveled out, and the city was unable to accommodate the number of people looking to work in Aston,
resulting in a drastic increase in the city's homeless and unemployed population. The city's extensive efforts to
revitalize the sleepy city into a thriving metropolitan had gone awry, as many homeless individuals began
congregating in large numbers in and around the Square. Business owners, residents, and visitors to the city began
noticing an increase in the number of homeless people panhandling and begging in the Square. Due to the increase in
homeless people assembling in and around the city's main attractions, local government officials began receiving
numerous complaints that people visiting the Square felt unsafe, particularly in the twilight and nighttime hours. As a
result, the restaurants and shops in the area experienced a sharp decrease in business, something many residents
ascribed to the unwanted harassment patrons experienced from panhandlers. Noticing that the city's panhandling issue
was having an impact on the city, residents petitioned the City of Aston government to enact an ordinance to address
the rising homeless population in downtown Aston. Heeding the residents' concerns, the Aston City Council
("Council") enacted section 06–79 of the Aston City Code ("City Ordinance") as a response to the panhandling
problem and as a means of discouraging the homeless from congregating near the Square.

(2015)
Factual History: Ms. Samantha Elauf is a woman who is a practicing Muslim applied for a job at Abercrombie &
Fitch Co., which is a national chain of clothing stores. Elauf was interviewed by the store's assistant manager Heather
Cooke, and her interview so went well that it appeared to Elauf that she was going to get the job. Heather Cooke, the
store manager who interviewed Samantha liked her and recommended that she be hired. Cooke gave Elauf a rating,
which qualified her to be hired, however, she was concerned that her headscarf would conflict with Abercrombie's
employee dress policy. The headscarf that she wore according to her religious obligations conflicted with the store's
"look policy". Cooke turned to Randall Johnson, the district manager, and informed Johnson that she believed Elauf
wore her headscarf because of her faith. She wanted to determine whether or not the headscarf was in violation of this
policy. Randall Johnson informed Cooke that Elauf's wearing headscarf would violate the "look policy", and therefore
that Elauf should not be hired. As a result, Elauf didn't get hired by Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

case contesting her liability for deficiencies or additions of tax for the year 1987 and 1988. The petitioner started
working in the 1986 as a dietetic director at Kaiser Hospitals and later that year after Kaiser ceased operations worked
for a nursing home as Director of Dieticians. In the year 1987, she started working as a sales representative for

The investigation brought about the dissolution of the firm. Mr. Lomanno became fearful that this investigation would
expose his embezzlement scheme. He decided to seek legal advice and he contacted a criminal attorney. The matter
was taken up with the office of the US Attorney. He confessed for all his wrong doings and was offered a plea bargain
which had a condition that he file his returns for the year 1986, 1987, and 1988 which had not being filed. The
income from embezzlement was reported as "other income" and was in tunes of $45,007 for 1987 and $15,005 for
1988. Because he did not want the petitioner to know about this, he prepared the returns alone and tried to hand them
in unsigned. The officers saw the unsigned part and wanted it signed. He went ahead and forged the signature of the
petitioner. The petitioner came to learn of her husband's embezzlement in the year 1990 through a probation officer
and through a letter received from IRS revenue agent. The couple divorced in 1991. Mrs. Lomanno petitioned to be
exempted from the tax return payments. In this case, the petitioner filed a subject motion for attorney's fees and
litigation costs.

God Is An All Loving By Michael J. Murray And Kurt Myers
Theists, people who believe in the existence of God, often are required to pray to God in order to obtain certain
benefits and provisions. It is believed that these things wouldn't come to God's believers unless they take the role as a
petitioner and pray. These believers know God to be an all–loving being. However, if this is the case, a major problem
arises for both atheists and theists alike; "Why would God bestow the good only if asked to bestow it" and "Why does
God not grant the good irrespective of whether some person ask for it?" Michael J. Murray and Kurt Myers attempt at
answer these questions in support of theism through "Ask and I Will Be Given to You." Although they do a great job

They do this through a peculiar example of a very dirty child who obviously has not had a bath in a while. When a
teacher speculates why this child is so dirty they are surprised to find out it is because the parents will not give their
children anything unless the children directly ask for it. So, unless the child asks for a bath, they will never receive
one. Why do the parents, our in our case God, require requests for certain benefits? Murray and Meyers explain that
there are two major reasons as to why petitionary prayer is required. Firstly, they explain that there is good that comes
from petitionary prayer that would not come about otherwise. Secondly, they explain that there is harm that would
come about without petitionary prayer that is worse then any harm caused by it.
Firstly, Murray and Meyers proposed that there are some serious benefits that come as results of petitionary prayer
that couldn't come about any other way. The first positive effect discussed in this article is that petitionary prayer
keeps the petitioner from worshipping idols. This is because, even if the petitioner's needs, such as the need for food,
could be met by sources other than God, such as a grocery store, God still is the ultimate provider. This is true given
that God created the foods that the grocery store provides. Therefore, the petitioner cannot look solely at nature and
other resources of provisions as their providers, but at God. Secondly, petitionary prayer allows

Petitioner attended night law school classes and deducted the cost of the classes explaining the cost of classes was to
retain his status of a lawyer which was originally attained in a foreign country. The Internal Revenue Service
disallowed the deduction of the education expenses stating they are not ordinary and necessary expenses under Code
Section 162(a). The Tax Courts held that the petitioner was not considered a lawyer until the "completion of a formal
law school curriculum and passing Ohio's bar examination". In so holding, the Tax Court stated as follows: "In
essence, petitioner has commendably invested much of his time to meet the minimum requirements for qualification
in a new trade or business in this country, and the expenses thereof, being of a personal nature, cannot properly be
deducted from his taxable income for any of the years in question."

pleaded guilty towards his indictment of taking liberties with a child, which he committed when he was seventeen
and was sentenced to serve thirty–one to thirty–eight months in prison. Upon being released after serving his sentence
for the crime committed in 2006 the petitioner was called to a hearing on May 14, 2013 North Carolina to determine
whether or not he would be subjected to join a global positioning system monitoring program. Under North Carolina
General Statutes 14–208.40 it requires any individual found to be a recidivist sex offender must be ordered to partake
in the sex offender monitoring system. Grady raised objections to the program arguing because of the unreasonable
searches the structure of the program allows that his Fourth Amendment rights would be violated. The purpose of the
GPS monitoring program enforced by the Division of Adult Correction is to manage the risk assessment of
individuals who enter into public society after having been imprisoned. As participants in the Satellite Based

Please add the below names, addresses, emails, and fax numbers to TEA's proof of service regarding this case. BISD hereby files its Notice of Insufficiency and Plea to the Jurisdiction/Motion to Dismiss the Complaint in the instant matter. PETITIONER'S COMPLAINT IS INSUFFICIENT The IDEA regulations require a due process complaint to contain a description of the nature of the problem resulting in the complaint, including facts relating to the problem.

  • 3. Mr Sundstrom Case As you are aware, on January 8, 2013, my estranged and mentally son filed a malicious mental health application against me. I now refer to him as Petitioner. Petitioner, an attorney has a Princeton University Degree and a UVA Law degree. For this reason FMRS granted Petitioner impunity. According to Mr. Sundstrom, Petitioner touted his first– class education to insure FMRS employees granted his request. As a result, Mr. Sundstrom granted Petitioner's request, ignoring many inconsistencies in the application. To quote the late psychiatrist, Dr. Gordon Livingston, If the map doesn't agree with the ground, the map is wrong. Defying common sense, Mr. Sundstrom chose to believe the map wrong, Mr. Sundstrom chose to forego asking the right questions and Mr. Sundstrom ignored my goddaughter's information regarding the application's motive. My goddaughter, a therapist with FMRS's ACT team met me at the Judicial Building on January 8, 2013. For the record, my goddaughter took personal time to attend the meeting with Mr. Sundstrom. I ...

As a result, I called Mr. Sundstrom the following morning. After asking about the promised documents, Mr. Sundstrom responded, "Chermette can access the records. I said, "Chermette does not work in the department that handles mental hygiene applications. More importantly, unauthorized access represents a HIPPA violation. I plan to file a complaint with the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel, unauthorized access would taint the documents." Realizing Mr. Sundstrom did not offer to provide me the documents, I said, " I will stop by your office and pick up the documents."

  • 7. Essay on Legal Writing Graded Project 2 Brown v Board of Ed. Topeka Kansas (1954) by Alexes Mercado http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/early– civilrights/brown.html The 14th Amendment states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. In the early 1950's, racial segregation in public schools was normal all across America. Although all the schools were ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Another main argument was that "separate but equal doctrine" was not effective because the accommodations for blacks' educational institutions were far inferior to those of white. Expert witness, Dr. Hugh W. Speer testified as follows: "...if the colored children are denied the experience in school of associating with white children, who represent 90 percent of our national society in which these colored children must live, then the colored child's curriculum is being greatly curtailed. The Topeka curriculum or any school curriculum cannot be equal under segregation." The Board of Education's defense was that segregated schools simply prepared black children for the segregation they would face during adulthood. The Board further argued that segregated schools were not necessarily harmful to black children because many great African Americans, such as Booker T. Washington, and George Washington Carver had overcome more than just segregated schools to achieve what they achieved. They also added that even though the 14th Amendment did not specifically include a ban on segregated education, at the time it was enacted, there was no public education system in the country at the time. Therefore, they would argue that the 14th Amendment would naturally not have addressed ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. Public Safety Outweigh Petitioner 's First Amendment Right C. The interest of public safety outweighs Petitioner's First Amendment right to record. Petitioner's recording posed an unreasonable risk to bystanders, passing motorist, and the police, essentially creating an inherently dangerous situation. Kelly v. Borough of Carlisle, 622 F.3d 248, 262 (3d Cir. 2010). The Third Circuit has firmly recognized that traffic stops are especially fraught with danger to police officers. Id. A traffic stop always poses danger because of its unpredictable nature, but even more so, when a potential suspect is on the loose. Petitioner was a suspect for a crime of several residential break–ins, which a reasonable office would assume is armed and dangerous; thus creating a heightened risk to the officers' safety. Furthermore, the Petitioner was stopped on the side of a road congested with traffic. If the officers do not maintain control of the situation, any unpredictable movement could result in grave injury; therefore, the police officers acted reasonably by minimizing the unnecessary danger added by Petitioner's recording during an already dangerous situation. D. Petitioner's recording is not a matter of public interest that carried any expressive or communicative purpose. The encounter Petitioner recorded is not a matter of public interest. Although there is a broad First Amendment right to film matters of public interest, the extend of that right to film public officials have not been explicitly defined by the Supreme Court or any other ...

  • 11. Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company, Petitioner... LEGAL ANALYSIS 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Sheila White interviewed with Marvin Brown and obtained a job as a "track laborer" with Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company. Shortly after her hire date, however, she assumed forklift operator duties. This new assignment still fell under the "track laborer" position description, and White occasionally performed those duties although her primary responsibility was operating the forklift. Three months into her new job, White complained to the company that her immediate supervisor was sexually harassing her on the job. He was temporarily suspended and required to attend sexual harassment training. White was then informed that she was being reassigned to track labor duties only. White ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... ETHICAL ANALYSIS 1. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Please refer to the Statement of Facts under Legal Analysis. 2. ETHICAL ISSUE STATEMENT: Did Burlington allow one individual, Marvin Brown, to make an unethical business decision to retaliate against employee Sheila White? 3. SUPPORT FOR ETHICAL ISSUES: As stated in the case, Burlington did not "question the jury's determination that the motivation for these acts was retaliatory." Inferring that this is an admission of guilt by Burlington, one can conclude that a deliberate business decision to retaliate outweighed any legal ramifications. The job for which Sheila White was hired was by her own admission too tough for her to perform. "I was moving spike cans that weighed 150 pounds; I was unloading plates and loading plates," she said. "On the forklift I was pretty much stable because I knew exactly what I was doing. But the date that they took me off that forklift and put me in the yard to work with the mens, I didn't know the first thing about it. And everything out there is hot and heavy. You could easily get killed or hurt out there." The facts stated in the case indicate that White was not a forklift operator immediately upon hire but took on that job role within a few weeks. (Obviously from her statement above, she was struggling from the outset to perform duties as a track laborer.) The hiring manager, Marvin Brown, may have ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 13. The Case Of Pope V. Illinois On July 21, 1983 local police detectives in Rockford, Illinois entered two different local book stores and purchased six magazines. Soon after exiting the store, police separately arrested clerks Richard Pope and Charles Morrison. Both men were charged and convicted for selling obscene materials, in accordance with an Illinois statute. On appeal, both petitioners argued that the Illinois statute was unconstitutional to both the first and Fourteenth Amendments. They reasoned that the state was required to make the value determination by an objective standard rather than community standard in conformance with the Miller decision, and the juries in this case had been instructed to judge whether the material had value as viewed by ordinary adults in the state of Illinois. The Appellate Court rejected the both petitioners' arguments and the Illinois Supreme court denied requests for further review, but the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari and merged both cases for reexamination. The case, Pope v. Illinois, was argued on February 24, 1987. Glenn A. Stanko represented the petitioners whose argument was: The Illinois Obscenity Statute violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments by allowing the value element to be determined by community standards and instructing the jury to do so. Therefore, the convictions against petitioners must be reversed because the statute is invalid. Glenn Stanko made it clear that the petitioners did not argue whether the materials were ...

  • 15. Argument Against The Affirmative Defenses Without waiving the previous Objections and Motion to Dismiss and the Affirmative Defenses, the District provides the following Response. Petitioner has filed a 28 page document. Only seven pages address Petitioner's actual issues. In responding only to the allegations and proposed resolutions, the District reserves the right to contest any relevant factual contentions during the hearing in this matter. The District also reserves the right to contest the sufficiency of the Complaint within the applicable timelines. The District disagrees with many of the statements and allegations presented in the Complaint. At this time the District will only generally respond to the factual issues presented and the related requirements of the IDEA for ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In reality, as other Hearing Officers have found, there is no such distinction. For the sake of this response, the District responds to the issues generally, and according to the described sub–issues listed by specific letters as follows: (Sub– issue a): Did the District fail to implement the IEP as written or change the IEP without parental input? No. Under the IDEA students are entitled to a free and appropriate public education which conforms to the student's individual education program. Under the IDEA and federal precedent, one of the factors used in determining whether a school district substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE to a student is whether the services provided to the student conformed to his or her IEP as it was written. (20 U.S.C. § 1400). Under Rowley and state and federal statutes, the standard for determining whether a district's provision of services substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE involves four factors: (1) the services must be designed to meet the student's unique needs; (2) the services must be reasonably designed to provide some educational benefit; (3) the services must conform to the IEP as written; and, (4) the program offered must be designed to provide the student with the foregoing in the least restrictive environment. While this requires a school district to provide a disabled child with meaningful access to education, it does not mean that the school district is required to guarantee ...

  • 17. The Court Of A Public Telephone Booth On the date of February 4th, 1965, believing that the Petitioner had been using public pay phones to transmit illegal gambling wagers from Los Angeles to Miami and Boston, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began their surveillance into the life of the Petitioner, Charles Katz. Fifteen days later on February 19th, 1965 FBI agents working the case against the Petitioner had gained access to a phone booth within a set of phone booths that the petitioner frequented on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and summarily recorded the petitioner's side of conversations he was having on the phone within a booth nearby. This surveillance lasted until the 25th (excluding February 22, as no evidence was obtained due to technical difficulties) the date of the petitioner's arrest, which took place immediately after he exited the same set of phone booths (Brief for Respondent 3). In this case there are two major constitutional questions which need to be addressed: (1) whether evidence obtained by attaching an electronic listening and recording device to the top of a public telephone booth used and occupied by the Petitioner is gathered in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (2) whether the search warrant used by the FBI officers in this case violated the Fourth Amendment to the constitution in that the warrant was (a) not founded on probable cause; (b) an evidentiary search warrant and (c) a general search warrant.

The act allows for each state to establish its own exchange, or if the state chooses not to establish one, then according to the ACA, the federal government will establish "such exchange." One of the provisions of the ACA is that individuals are required to maintain health insurance coverage through an exchange or make a payment to the IRS, unless the cost of the coverage would exceed eight percent of the individual's income. The ACA also provides tax credits for any "applicable taxpayer" but as long as they sign up through "an exchange established by the state." The IRS interpreted the act as allowing tax credits for taxpayers who signed up for either the state–established exchange or the federal exchange. Virginia is one of the states that is part of the federal exchange.

This paper analyzes the conditions that caused these detention facilities to appear, assesses the abuses and rights violations perpetuated by these jails, and offers several potential steps that American policymakers can take to address this issue.Introduction In 2003, China abolished a state–sanctioned system of extrajudicial detention known as "shourong."

In order to do this, the State Bureau for Letters and Visits has begun to penalize officials that oversee ineffective local and regional petition offices. These penalties are levied when these officials fail to resolve petitioners' complaints before they advance them to higher–level offices; the punishments themselves can range from mild reprimands to career–jeopardizing public criticisms. As a result of these penalties, officials have a financial incentive to curb the flow of petitioners to Beijing. In response to this financial incentive, local and provincial–level officials have developed a system of extralegal detention to ensure that petitioners are intercepted and secretly detained before they are detected seeking legal redress in Beijing. Once petitioners are abducted, they are transported to black jails. Government employees are sometimes involved in this process, but in most instances, abductions and detentions are carried out by private security forces that are paid by local and provincial governments.

One that stands out and is essential to our society is the fundamental freedom of expression. Anyone can speak their opinion in public. However, the government can in some instances limit these freedoms. The question that causes a lot of debate is in what instances can the government genuinely limit people's rights while being justified in doing so. I believe the restrictions on speech in Canada are appropriate. I believe that the government was correct in not intervening with the debate between Mark Steyn and the Muslim petitioners because his article did not warrant enough to risk the safety of Muslims, and by coercing Maclean's to post an opposing viewpoint would be a violation of their fundamental freedom of expression. Per Mill's framework the government should not intervene in this case. Mill's belief is that government intervention should only occur when there is physical harm. In this case, there is no physical harm, but there is offence as Muslims are targeted by the article. Mill believes that if something is offensive, society cannot do anything about it but avoid it or try to persuade the author to believe otherwise. The students attempted to persuade Maclean's that the opinion stated in Steyn's argument was incorrect and hateful, and to post an opposing view but had no luck.

The job market leveled out, and the city was unable to accommodate the number of people looking to work in Aston, resulting in a drastic increase in the city's homeless and unemployed population. The city's extensive efforts to revitalize the sleepy city into a thriving metropolitan had gone awry, as many homeless individuals began congregating in large numbers in and around the Square. Business owners, residents, and visitors to the city began noticing an increase in the number of homeless people panhandling and begging in the Square. Due to the increase in homeless people assembling in and around the city's main attractions, local government officials began receiving numerous complaints that people visiting the Square felt unsafe, particularly in the twilight and nighttime hours. As a result, the restaurants and shops in the area experienced a sharp decrease in business, something many residents ascribed to the unwanted harassment patrons experienced from panhandlers. Noticing that the city's panhandling issue was having an impact on the city, residents petitioned the City of Aston government to enact an ordinance to address the rising homeless population in downtown Aston.

She wanted to determine whether or not the headscarf was in violation of this policy.

  • 62. God Is An All Loving By Michael J. Murray And Kurt Myers Theists, people who believe in the existence of God, often are required to pray to God in order to obtain certain benefits and provisions. It is believed that these things wouldn't come to God's believers unless they take the role as a petitioner and pray. These believers know God to be an all–loving being. However, if this is the case, a major problem arises for both atheists and theists alike; "Why would God bestow the good only if asked to bestow it" and "Why does God not grant the good irrespective of whether some person ask for it?" Michael J. Murray and Kurt Myers attempt at answer these questions in support of theism through "Ask and I Will Be Given to You." Although they do a great job showing the benefits that arise from the use ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They do this through a peculiar example of a very dirty child who obviously has not had a bath in a while. When a teacher speculates why this child is so dirty they are surprised to find out it is because the parents will not give their children anything unless the children directly ask for it. So, unless the child asks for a bath, they will never receive one. Why do the parents, our in our case God, require requests for certain benefits? Murray and Meyers explain that there are two major reasons as to why petitionary prayer is required. Firstly, they explain that there is good that comes from petitionary prayer that would not come about otherwise. Secondly, they explain that there is harm that would come about without petitionary prayer that is worse then any harm caused by it. Firstly, Murray and Meyers proposed that there are some serious benefits that come as results of petitionary prayer that couldn't come about any other way. The first positive effect discussed in this article is that petitionary prayer keeps the petitioner from worshipping idols. This is because, even if the petitioner's needs, such as the need for food, could be met by sources other than God, such as a grocery store, God still is the ultimate provider. This is true given that God created the foods that the grocery store provides. Therefore, the petitioner cannot look solely at nature and other resources of provisions as their providers, but at God.

Petitioner attended night law school classes and deducted the cost of the classes explaining the cost of classes was to retain his status of a lawyer which was originally attained in a foreign country. The Internal Revenue Service disallowed the deduction of the education expenses stating they are not ordinary and necessary expenses under Code Section 162(a). The Tax Courts held that the petitioner was not considered a lawyer until the "completion of a formal law school curriculum and passing Ohio's bar examination". In so holding, the Tax Court stated as follows: "In essence, petitioner has commendably invested much of his time to meet the minimum requirements for qualification in a new trade or business in this country, and the expenses thereof, being of a personal nature, cannot properly be deducted from his taxable income for any of the years in question." In O'Connor v. Comm. , petitioner studied law in Germany, but was a U.S. citizen.
