Oxford University Bank v. Lansuppe Feeder, Inc.

(United States Second Circuit) - Affirmed. Financial institutions that hold junior notes issued by the defendant, as trustee, appeal the grant of summary judgement. The district court erred in holding that ICA § 47(b) does not give rise to a private right of action. However, the district court ordered distribution of the assets of the trust according to the terms of the trust’s governing indenture, so summary judgment affirmed.

(United States First Circuit) - Reinstated an employee's claims that she was harassed based on her age and retaliated against in violation of both federal and Puerto Rico law, claims which had been dismissed on summary judgment.

US v. Madera-Rivera

(United States First Circuit) - Affirmed the denial of a medically ill defendant's request for a downward departure under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. The defendant, who had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess five kilograms or more of cocaine with intent to distribute, sought a shorter sentence due to his chronic liver ailments. However, the First Circuit found no abuse of discretion in the sentence of 180 months.

Sexual Minorities Uganda v. Lively

(United States First Circuit) - Held that a defendant who won a summary judgment motion could not appeal to challenge unflattering statements found in the trial judge's opinion. In this tort lawsuit brought by a Ugandan gay-rights organization, the defendant religious leader successfully obtained summary judgment by arguing lack of extraterritorial jurisdiction but then appealed. The First Circuit concluded that a winner cannot appeal a judgment merely because there are passages in the court's opinion that displease him or her.

US v. Rivera-Berrios

(United States First Circuit) - Affirmed a district court’s decision regarding sentencing in a case where the defendant plead guilty to illegal possession of a firearm and was sentenced to probation. In 2016, defendant’s home was searched and a massive cache of weapons was found. Defendant pleaded guilty to the 2016 charges, but before he could be sentenced his probation from the 2013 charges was revoked and he was sentenced to prison for those charges. This action slotted defendant into a criminal history category that generated increased prison time under the sentencing guidelines. Defendant argued that the 2013 sentence should not be considered for the 2016 sentence. The court held that the district court properly considered the factors for sentencing.

Rivera v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Dismissed an alien's petition for review of a decision denying his request for cancellation of removal. The Board of Immigration Appeals had found that the citizen of Guatemala was ineligible for cancellation of removal, due in part to criminal charges pending against him of child molestation of his ex-wife's then-twelve-year-old granddaughter. On appeal, the First Circuit dismissed his petition for review.
