Alphonse Hotel Corporation v. Tran

(United States Second Circuit) - In an action concerning a property lease and a purported joint venture agreement entered into between a son and his father, the now-deceased former president and majority shareholder of a real estate development corporation, seeking damages for the son's use and occupancy of the property and a judgment declaring that the lease and joint venture agreement were void, the District Court's rulings denying the son's discovery requests and granting summary judgment to corporate-plaintiff are affirmed where: 1) the lease was void as a gift or act of corporate waste; and 2) the parol evidence rule applies in this case and the integration clause in the lease retains its preclusive effect, thus the purported joint venture agreement is unenforceable.

Sihotang v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Granted an Indonesian national's petition for review of a decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. The evangelical Christian, who alleged he would be persecuted based on his religion if returned to his homeland, argued that the Board of Immigration Appeals should have granted his motion to reopen his decade-old removal proceedings, because he had shown a material change in country conditions and had made a prima-facie showing of eligibility for asylum. Finding some merit in his arguments for reopening, the First Circuit vacated and remanded for further proceedings.
