Records included in this search vary by state, and can include statewide convictions, arrests, court records, and inmate records from an array of sources including County Clerk of Court records county courts as well as statewide sources such as the Department of Corrections. Records are continually expanding and building this national database on a daily basis. The Criminal SuperSearch is recommended in a variety of circumstances, particularly when an applicant’s Social Security Number indicates residence in several states and it is more cost effective to run the SuperSearch as opposed to a statewide or single county search in each state of residence. The following states have sufficient levels of criminal data to consider the Criminal SuperSearch an adequate data source without further investigation at a county/statewide level: 1 Alaska 11 Oregon 2 Arizona 12 Pennsylvania 3 Connecticut 13 South Carolina 4 Hawaii 14 Texas 5 Maryland 15 Washington 6 Missouri 16 West Virginia 7 North Carolina 17 Wisconsin 8 North Dakota 9 Ohio 10 Oklahoma A coverage area template has been included on the following pages to further detail the type of information available from each state. Note: The attached template includes some level of criminal coverage from 44 states nationwide; however, the level of coverage is not sufficient for this product to be the recommended search from Rental History Reports. If a record match is found in any of the states not included in the table above, you will still see the findings. Results are returned within minutes via our website application.

Browne: Browne: Missouri Courts Side with Employees Missouri Courts Side with Employees Against the Eighth Circuit: Continued Employment Does Not Constitute Acceptance and Consideration for Mandatory Arbitration Agreements Frye v. Speedway Chevrolet CadillacI I. INTRODUCTION The question of whether continued employment constitutes acceptance and consideration for an employment contract, particularly applied to mandatory arbi- tration clauses, has split the authorities who decide on cases arising out of Mis- souri. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, while purporting to apply Missouri law in cases arising out of Missouri, holds that an employee who continues to work for his or her employer after an arbitration program has been implemented is bound by it by the virtue of his or her continued employ- ment.2 Missouri courts, however, disagree with this interpretation of Missouri law and held in Frye v.

No. 18-92JJM : TERRYANN SMITH and : KIRSHENBAUM AND KIRSHENBAUM, : Defendants. : REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION PATRICIA A. SULLIVAN, United States Magistrate Judge. On February 26, 2018, Plaintiff Andrew Smith filed pro se a complaint (ECF No. 1) along with an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) (ECF No. 2). The IFP motion has been referred to me pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Because Plaintiff is currently an incarcerated prisoner serving a recently-imposed sentence for child pornography,1 pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PLRA”), codified at 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b), even if he is eligible for IFP status, he is still required to pay the statutory filing fee of $350 in increments based on the deposits and funds available in his prisoner trust fund account statement.2 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Because his IFP application did not include a certified copy of the statement showing his transactions for the period (up to six months) preceding the filing of the action, the IFP motion cannot be considered unless and until the statement is received. 1 This information is a matter of public record. State of Rhode Island Department of Corrections, Inmate Search, http://www.doc.ri.gov/inmate search/search.php (last visited Mar. 6, 2018). 2 A prisoner seeking to file IFP must pay as an initial filing fee the greater of twenty percent (20%) of the average monthly deposits to his account or the average monthly balance for the six months prior to the filing of his complaint.

  • Review of 09LPHB Initiative Application A.G
    October 22, 2009 The Honorable Craig E. Campbell Lieutenant Governor P.O. Box 110015 Juneau, Alaska 99811-0015 Re: Review of 09LPHB Initiative Application A.G. File No: JU2009-200-798 Dear Lieutenant Governor Campbell: You have asked us to review an application for an initiative entitled “An Act recognizing the legal personhood of all human beings including unborn children.” In brief, while we conclude there may be legal issues with the bill, it is not clearly unconstitutional. Therefore, we recommend that you certify the application. Consideration of legal issues that do not rise to the level of “clearly unconstitutional” must be deferred until after the election. Alaskans for Efficient Government, Inc. v. State, 153 P.3d 296, 298 (Alaska 2007). Our detailed analysis follows. I. SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED BILL The bill provides: That all human beings, from the beginning of their biological development as human organisms, including the single-cell embryo, regardless of age, health, level of functioning, condition of dependency or method of reproduction, shall be recognized as legal persons in the state of Alaska. II. ANALYSIS Under AS 15.45.070, the lieutenant governor is required to review an application for a proposed initiative and either “certify it or notify the initiative committee of the grounds for denial” within 60 days of receipt. The grounds for denial of an application Hon. Craig E. Campbell October 22, 2009 A.G. File No: JU2009-200-798 Page 2 are that (1) the proposed bill is not in the required form; (2) the application is not substantially in the required form; or (3) there is an insufficient number of qualified sponsors.

RECENT DECISIONS CARRIERS - INTERSTATE COMMERCE - No LIMITATION OF LiABILITy PossBI. WHEN GOODS ARE PREcious METALS, EVEN THOUGH SHIPPER UNDERSTATES VALUE. - Defendant, the Railway Express Agency, lost a 50-pound shipment of raw platinum, of declared value $50. Shipper, in a suit for actual value, contended that the limitation of liability to declared value included in defendant carrier's standard express receipt was inoperative to limit shipper's recovery to $50, even though his agent had intentionally misstated the value, knowing that the shipment was actually worth over $56,000. The Appellate Division" indorsed the shipper's contention by modifying the trial court's 2 $50 verdict for the shipper. The Court of Appeals affirmed the modified judgment, awarding the shipper the full value of the shipment. Held: a special contract limiting a carrier's liability for loss or damage caused by it to goods shipped in interstate commerce is invalid to reduce shipper's recovery to agreed amount, less than the actual value of the goods, where the limitation is not based on the shipper's choice between a rate for full value liability and a lower rate for limited liability.

The layman and, indeed, the lawyer unfamiliar with child custody problems might be refreshed to know that here at least is one area of the law where a simple, noble, human precept will guide the courts in resolving the problems presented to them.

  • Baker V. Carr MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN Delivered the Opinion Of
    Baker v. Carr MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN delivered the opinion of the Court. This civil action was brought under 42 U.S.C. 1983 and 1988 to redress the alleged deprivation of federal constitutional rights. The complaint, alleging that by means of a 1901 statute of Tennessee apportioning the members of the General Assembly among the State's 95 counties, 1 "these plaintiffs and others similarly situated, [369 U.S. 186, 188] are denied the equal protection of the laws accorded them by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States by virtue of the debasement of their votes," was dismissed by a three-judge court convened under 28 U.S.C. 2281 in the Middle District of Tennessee. 2 The court held that it lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter and also that no claim was stated upon which relief could be granted. 179 F. Supp. 824. We noted probable jurisdiction of the appeal. 364 U.S. 898 . 3 We hold that the dismissal was error, and remand the cause to the District Court for trial and further proceedings consistent with this opinion. The General Assembly of Tennessee consists of the Senate with 33 members and the House of Representatives with 99 members. The Tennessee Constitution provides in Art. II as follows: "Sec. 3. Legislative authority - Term of office. - The Legislative authority of this State shall be vested in a General Assembly, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives, both dependent on the people; who shall hold their offices for two years from the day of the general election.
