(California Court of Appeal) - In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, held that when the nature of a debt is such that its discharge will directly and adversely impact the finances of the debtor's spouse or former spouse, it is nondischargeable in bankruptcy, even if it is not directly payable to the spouse. Affirmed the district court.

(United States Ninth Circuit) - In a case involving the City of Stockton's municipal bankruptcy, dismissed an appeal filed by a person who objected to confirmation of the city's Chapter 9 plan. Held that his appeal was equitably moot. Also held that his claims failed on the merits.

(United States Ninth Circuit) - Held that a bankruptcy debtor who sought damages for willful violation of the automatic stay was entitled to attorney fees on appeal. When an appeal is necessary to secure such damages, appellate attorney fees and costs should also be granted to a successful debtor, regardless of which party brings the appeal. Reversed the district court's order.

(United States Fifth Circuit) - Reversed, vacated, and remanded. Holding that a creditor can establish that its expenses are attributable to the actions of the bankruptcy estate through evidence of either a direct request from the debtor-in-possession or other inducement via the knowing and voluntary post-petition acceptance of desired goods or services.

(United States Fifth Circuit) - Affirmed. A bankruptcy court's denial of a request to discharge a 60 year-old disabled former student's debt was affirmed. She failed to establish a showing of undue hardship. She had shown an inability to maintain a minimal standard of living because expenses exceeded income, but couldn't establish that her current condition would persist for a significant portion of the loan repayment period.

(United States Fifth Circuit) - Affirmed. The bankruptcy court's rejection of a Texas Port Authority's claims of sovereign immunity and fraud in their gambit to invalidate a bankruptcy sale that extinguished an easement they held was affirmed because there was no Eleventh Amendment violation or basis to claim fraud.

If the season does restart, what do you think would be the ideal situation? Straight into the playoffs? Time is running out.

Are the two offensive tackles who will start for the Broncos in 2021 on the current roster? It seems increasingly unlikely.

Colorado lawmakers may forgo raises next year as they anticipate having to make major changes in the overall state budget -- including eliminating raises for all state employees.

The state's budget writers are now planning for a shortfall that's measured in billions rather than millions -- taking the possibility of new spending off the table and threatening existing programs.

This is not your mama's mani.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirming the district court's denial of qualified immunity regarding alleged due process violations in the case of the firing of emergency personnel officers involved in a group text-message chain that questioned the competence to perform various emergency services, workout tips, sexual gibes, and other inappropriate content, but concluding that the district court erred in holding that officials were not entitled to qualified immunity as to First Amendment retaliation claims and reversing and remanding on those grounds.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Summary judgment reversed. A municipal employee who was fired a single day after threatening to file a formal racial harassment grievance was entitled to a trial on her retaliation claim under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirming in part the dismissal of an African-American police officer's discrimination and retaliation claims against a state prosecutor for reading aloud criminal suspects' letters containing racial epithets at a trial preparation meeting that the officer attended. The Fourth Circuit held that the police officer did not state a claim for racial harassment or retaliation as no reasonable employee could believe that the prosecutor's conduct violated civil rights law and because the prosecutor was protected by absolute prosecutorial immunity.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed an order enjoining the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from enforcing a Medicaid reimbursement policy that was set forth in a Frequently Asked Questions document. The plaintiff, a hospital, contended that the reimbursement policy was not validly promulgated because there was no formal rulemaking as required by the Administrative Procedure Act. Agreeing, the Fourth Circuit held that the FAQ document was insufficient and that notice-and-comment rulemaking was necessary.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed that a school district did not deprive a former student of his rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The student claimed he should have been identified as a candidate for special education and that the school district failed to provide him a free appropriate public education. While agreeing that the school district had committed a procedural violation of the Act, the Fourth Circuit agreed with the district court that the violation did not actually deprive the student of a free appropriate public education.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed in part and reversed in part a judgment that three police officers were terminated because they blew the whistle on what they viewed as corruption within a police department. After a jury found in the officers' favor, they appealed certain pre-trial and post-trial rulings. The Fourth Circuit held that the trial judge should not have dismissed the officers' First Amendment claims against the town, and also reversed the judge's conclusion that the town's insurance policy covered only $1 million of the aggregate damages.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Held that the United States should be substituted as a party defendant in a lawsuit in which two defendants were tobacco industry businesspeople who had agreed to perform undercover work for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The question before the Fourth Circuit was whether the United States should be substituted as a party defendant. The panel held that the answer was yes, and thus reversed the district court's ruling on the matter.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Held that plaintiffs bringing three wrongful death nursing home malpractice claims were entitled to punitive damages. The nursing homes argued that they were not liable for punitive damages because there was no aggravating factor justifying such an award, and the trial court granted their JMOL motion. Reversing, the Fourth Circuit held that the plaintiffs had presented evidence sufficient for a reasonable jury to award punitive damages under North Carolina law.

Gotta gotta be down because I want to hike.

Look at that face!

You can reduce water use not by forgoing the recommended eight daily glasses of water, showering less often, or draining the fishbowl but by cutting back on grass, the turf kind, that is.

Coloradans must take COVID-19, the pandemic illness caused by a new coronavirus, seriously.

Our leaders are making difficult, life-and-death decisions without a complete picture of the severity of this threat or a timeline for how long it could last. It’s easy to second-guess the new rules, suggestions and regulations coming.

The world has been thrust into an unprecedented time. The White House has estimated that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die in the coming months as a new virus sweeps through the nation and that’s if we implement and execute the recommendations from our doctors and scientists. About 700,000 jobs were lost in the U.S. in March as mayors and governors across the nation responded responsibly by forcing all but the most essential businesses to close.

We understand why unrest is bubbling among those who are unemployed and entrepreneurs who could lose their businesses. But the alternative to stay-at-home orders is allowing the highly contagious new coronavirus to rip through our communities.

(United States Second Circuit) - Reversed. The court reversed a district court denial of the City's and grant of the company's motions for summary judgment in a case involving a ban on advertisements in Uber and Lyft vehicles because the limited taxicab exception allows the ban on advertisements to survive First Amendment scrutiny.

(United States Second Circuit) - Partially affirmed, partially vacated and remanded. Affirming the dismissal of Americans with Disabilities Act claims arising from events in 2010-2011 that were untimely, but vacating the dismissal of 2013-2014 claims and Title IX claims.

(United States Second Circuit) - Affirmed in part, vacated in part. Affirming that a court is not barred from considering additional attorney fees in cases involving settlement agreements, but disagreeing with the application of the standard in the instant case.

(United States Second Circuit) - Reversed and remanded. The court concluded the 44 articles at issue were not works made for hire under the Copyright Act of 1976. District Court’s summary judgement in favor of RIT and denying the motion for partial summary judgement by the Estate reversed. Remanded for further proceedings.
