The right-of-way acquisitions for this project include the following: • Total take of a gas station • Eight-Family apartment building • Two single-family residences • A single-family residence which includes a licensed auto body repair shop in a separate building • Two businesses located at the intersection of the expanded roadway and cross street Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled to begin in six months, with a construction letting scheduled one year after r/w acquisition begins. The Agency has completed all interviews except for the business owner of a bar and package store. Your group has received twenty cards listing information that may be relevant to the development of the relocation plan for this project in one of the following categories: Residential interviews (Yellow) • The Smith’s have 6 children; all 8 family members currently live in a 3 bedroom home; they are owner-occupants; low-income and cannot afford higher real estate taxes. • A disabled grandparent may require level entry at the replacement dwelling. • 6 tenants occupy dwellings and receive government rental assistance. • Elderly couple occupies a 5 bedroom, 50 year old house. Business interviews (Pink) • Business disposes of hazardous materials as part of its operation. • Language barrier exists with business owner who speaks little English. • Auto body repair shop has two bays; one with a pit and one with a hydraulic lift – the lift is personal property • Bar and package store will be displaced. Availability of replacement sites (Blue) • Housing Authority says they have no units available for displaced persons receiving government assistance. • There are adequate rental replacement dwellings on the south end of town, which is generally considered less desirable than subject area. • Housing market appears “tight” – especially for 3 and 4 bedroom rentals. • You need to estimate the value of each owner-occupied dwelling to determine if housing of last resort will be needed Concurrent displacements (Salmon) • Proposed second phase of the subject project, possibly two years from now, will displace a large number of tenants • Local airport authority considering runway expansion may affect residential neighborhood area • City has project displacing 20 residences / 3 businesses beginning in 6 months • State is implementing a first-time home buyer program Schedule (Green) • Business with 6 employees will need to build a replacement facility • Phase I environmental studies show that 3 properties need Phase II environmental assessments • Property management section asks for a list of all property owner names and addresses to prepare for demolition • Consultant engineering firm informs DOT they are behind schedule in completing design plans Prioritize the information listed on each card in relation to the relocation plan so that the one your group thinks is the most important to consider when developing a relocation plan for this project will receive a “1” and the least important will receive a “4”. Appoint a spokesperson for the group to explain your group’s reasoning. We will then discuss your reasoning and logic used in prioritizing the items for your relocation plan. Note: Assume the NEPA process is complete.

  • Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States
    Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States Composition of the Supreme Court Tuesday, July 20, 2021 Written Statement of Marin K. Levy Professor of Law, Duke University School of Law Co-Chair Bauer, Co-Chair Rodriguez, and distinguished members of the Commission: Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the subject of Supreme Court expansion and composition. By way of background, I am a Professor of Law at the Duke University School of Law and a faculty advisor to the Bolch Judicial Institute. My research and teaching over the past twelve years have focused on judicial administration and appellate courts. It is a distinct honor and privilege to speak with you on these matters. Court expansion and other changes to the Court’s composition implicate fundamental questions about the role and operation of our nation’s highest court. These include whether expanding the Court would harm the institution’s legitimacy, whether expansion would prompt a series of expansions in the future, whether an expanded Court could function well as a single decision-making body, and whether expansion would contradict existing constitutional norms and conventions. Even if the answers to these questions were known, there is a larger background question to be answered—namely how such considerations should be weighted in assessing any proposal to change the Court’s structure. It is no easy task that the Commission has been given, and I hope that the legal community and public at large is cognizant of this. In contrast to the subject of the panel, my own testimony will be fairly circumscribed.

A person is not required to relocate to the same owner or tenant occupancy status, but has other options as specified under this section. An agency will make one replacement payment for each dwelling unit, except in cases of joint occupancy of a single-family dwelling. 5.5.1 Replacement Housing Payment Eligibility Persons who meet length of occupancy requirements as an owner or tenant occupant displaced from a dwelling are eligible for a replacement housing payment (RHP) if the person occupied the dwelling for not less than 90 days immediately before the initiation of negotiations as an owner or 90 days as a tenant. A less than 90-day owner/tenant may qualify for a tenant replacement payment under hardship circumstances.

  • Clearinghouse Loan Certificates in the Banking Panic of 1907
    ATLANTA Liquidity Creation without a Lender f o of Last Resort: Clearinghouse Loan Certificates in the Banking Panic of 1907 Ellis W. Tallman and Jon R. Moen Working Paper 2006-23b October 2007 FEDERAL RESERVE BANK WORKING PAPER SERIES FEDERAL RESERVE BANK of ATLANTA WORKING PAPER SERIES Liquidity Creation without a Lender of Last Resort: Clearinghouse Loan Certificates in the Banking Panic of 1907 Ellis W. Tallman and Jon R. Moen Working Paper 2006-23b October 2007 Abstract: We employ a new data set comprised of disaggregate figures on clearinghouse loan certificate issues in New York City to document how the dominant national banks were crucial providers of temporary liquidity during the Panic of 1907. Clearinghouse loan certificates were essentially “bridge loans” arranged between clearinghouse members that enabled and were issued in anticipation of monetary gold imports, which took a few weeks to arrive. The large New York City national banks acted as private liquidity providers by requesting (and the New York clearinghouse issuing) a volume of clearinghouse loan certificates beyond their own immediate liquidity needs. While loan certificates were a temporary solution at best to the liquidity crisis in 1907, their issuance allowed the New York banks to serve their role as central reserve city banks in the national banking system. JEL classification: N11, N21, E42, D71 Key words: clearinghouse, financial crisis, panic, lender of last resort The authors thank Elmus Wicker for graciously sharing data on New York Clearinghouse loan certificates outstanding during late 1907 and early 1908, which he calculated from the records of the New York Clearinghouse.

  • Central Banks As Regulators and Lenders of Last Resort in an International Context: a View from Theunited Kingdom
    Central Banks as Regulators and Lenders of Last Resort in an International Context: A View from theUnited Kingdom C.W. McMahon* The implications of national sovereignty constitute a characteristic, and evolving, twentieth century problem. The nation-state, developed over previous centuries, has proved capable of horrific abuse; but at its best it has produced a legal, administrative, economic and financial framework in which its citizens have been able to prosper as never before. A natural counterpart of these developments was the emergence of at least potential conflicts with the world outside; and it has been common for people, in attempting to reconcile these conflicts or solve the problems they pose, to draw on successful domestic national experience and suggest that this should be analogically extended beyond the frontier. There have been various kinds of challenge posed this century to the competence of a single nation-state to solve its problems alone. First, po- litical conflicts with other nation-states, of which the first and most spec- tacular example was the 1914-18 war. Secondly, economic conflicts with other nation-states -- particularly virulent between the wars when many countries suffered the intended or unintended effects of other countries’ tariff regimes, exchange-rate movements and fiscal and monetary policies. Thirdly, and especially in the last two decades, there has been the drama- tic development of private institutions large enough to affect the economic sovereignty of even quite major countries -- the multinational companies and banks. It has been tempting to many people to meet these different demon- strations of the limitation of the power of the single state by trying to en- visage and bring about the development of a sovereignty over and above that of individual nations.

THE TIME HAS COME TO TALK OF MAJOR CURTAILMENT IN THE SUPREME COURT'S JURISDICTION FRANK R. STRONG* "The Time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes-and ships-and sealing wax-Of cabbages-and kings-And why the sea is boiling hot-And whether pigs have wings." Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass By commencing with this familiar quotation the writer does not mean to concede any close likeness to his fellow mammal even though he does admit to inhabiting the murky waters of the law. Nor is he concerned with the items that were of moment to Alice's friend. Yet the quote is apt, for in the writer's considered opinion the time has definitely come for serious talk of major curtailment in the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States.

  • Katz in the Age of Hudson V. Michigan: Some Thoughts on “Suppression As a Last Resort”
    Katz in the Age of Hudson v. Michigan: Some Thoughts on “Suppression as a Last Resort” Sharon L. Davies* and Anna B. Scanlon** In its landmark decision of Katz v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court reconfigured the framework in which Fourth Amendment violations are defined and analyzed by rejecting the notion of constitutionally protected areas and adopting a new emphasis on the individual expectation of privacy. In doing so, the Court extended the Amendment’s previously circumscribed reach to protect “people, not places.” But the force of Katz’s protections was, and still is, ultimately predicated on the remedy of exclusion. Unquestioned at the time of Katz, the exclusion of evidence was once a near-certain consequence of unconstitutional searches. In the forty years since Katz, however, the Court has carved out numerous exceptions to the exclusionary rule, thereby limiting both its effectiveness and its protective reach. The Court’s most recent retraction of the exclusionary rule in the facially innocuous Hudson v. Michigan threatens to undermine the Katz remedy. This Article explains how Justice Antonin Scalia’s 5-4 majority opinion in Hudson misstates and diverges from traditional exclusionary rule jurisprudence, and it warns of the ramifications of such divergence. * John C. Elam, Vorys Sater Professor of Law, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. I would like to thank the UC Davis Law Review for including us in its fine Symposium marking the Katz anniversary. ** Juris Doctor, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. Thanks are due to Sharon Davies for her continued mentorship; to United States District Court Judge Algenon Marbley, Professors Douglas Berman, Joshua Dressler, Alan Michaels, Bob Krivoshey, and Ric Simmons, Assistant United States Attorneys Rhonda Redwood-Ray and George Varghese, Joseph Dipierro, and members of the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law for furthering my criminal law education; and to my friends and family for all their support.
