Petitioner, V No. 18-____ IN THE Supreme Court of the United States ———— MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, Petitioner, v. MANUEL DE JESUS, ORTEGA MELENDRES, et al., Respondents. ———— On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ———— PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI ———— RICHARD K. WALKER Counsel of Record WALKER & PESKIND, PLLC 16100 N. 71st Street, Suite 140 Scottsdale, AZ 85254 (480) 483-6336 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioner December 6, 2018 WILSON-EPES PRINTING CO., INC. – (202) 789-0096 – WASHINGTON, D. C. 20002 QUESTIONS PRESENTED In the Ninth Circuit, the precepts of federalism often count for very little. They are, at most, but minor hurdles to be vaulted over by federal courts on their way to superimposing on State and local governmental institutions the courts’ preferences as to how those institutions should be structured and run. Here, the Ninth Circuit and the District Court have disregarded and misapplied Arizona law and this Court’s precedents to find Arizona’s sheriffs to be “final policymakers” for their respective counties and hold Maricopa County, Arizona (“the County”) responsible for law enforcement actions over which the County had no control. The courts below have saddled the County with substantial cost and other burdens for conduct of former Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio (“the Sheriff”) and his deputies found to have been contumacious, without regard to limitations on the County’s authority to provide such funding and without regard to legally condoned processes by which such funding could be obtained. Further, massive usurpations of the prerogatives of the Sheriff have been engineered and imposed, apparently on the theory that constitutional constraints on federal judicial disappear whenever the courts exercise their contempt powers. The questions presented are: 1. Applying the analytical mandates of McMillian v. Monroe County, Alabama, 520 U.S. 781 (1997), to county-level governmental institutions established under Arizona law, are sheriffs “final policymakers” under 42 U.S.C. § ii 1983 for their counties with regard to the conduct of law enforcement matters? 2. May federal courts, consistent with the Guarantee Clause and the Tenth Amendment, compel local governmental institutions to do things they are not authorized to do under State law? 3. Are federal courts at liberty, in exercising their contempt powers, to ignore the precepts of federalism, notwithstanding this Court’s decision in Rizzo v. Goode, 432 U.S. 362 (1976)? PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDINGS Defendants below were former Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio (later replaced by Sheriff Paul Penzone), and Maricopa County, Arizona. Plaintiffs below were Manuel de Jesus Ortega Melendres; David and Jessica Rodriguez; Velia Meraz and Manuel Nieto, Jr.; Somos America/We Are America, a non-profit membership organization; and a class of individuals described as “[a]ll Latino persons who, since January, 2007, have been or will be in the future, stopped, detained, questioned or searched by [Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office] agents while driving or sitting in a vehicle on a public roadway or parking area in Maricopa County, Arizona.” Ortega-Melendres v.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

  • 1 Forever Alone in a Crowd, Arthur Fleck Seeks Connection. Yet, As He
    Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck seeks connection. Yet, as he trods the sooted Gotham City streets and rides the graffitied mass transit rails of a hostile town teeming with division and dissatisfaction, Arthur wears two masks. One, he paints on for his day job as a clown. The other he can never remove; it’s the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel he’s a part of the world around him, and not the misunderstood man whom life is repeatedly beating down. Fatherless, Arthur has a fragile mother, arguably his best friend, who nicknamed him Happy, a moniker that’s fostered in Arthur a smile that hides the heartache beneath. But, when bullied by teens on the streets, taunted by suits on the subway, or simply teased by his fellow clowns at work, this social outlier only becomes even more out of sync with everyone around him. Directed, co-written and produced by Todd Phillips, “Joker” is the filmmaker’s original vision of the infamous DC villain, an origin story infused with, but distinctly outside, the character’s more traditional mythologies. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fractured society. Longing for any light to shine on him, he tries his hand as a stand-up comic, but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty, allegorical character study.

CHAP TER 6 } Public Service Entertainment HBO’s Interventions in Politics and Culture Shayne Pepper When one thinks of “public service,” HBO is not typically the media entity that comes to mind. However, in examining HBO’s forty-year history, one notices an extensive list of socially conscious, politically engaged, and even outright public service programs. Over the years, HBO has brought a great deal of thoughtful (and sometimes controversial) cultural programming into American households. This group of films explores topics such as poverty, AIDS, women’s rights, and global injustice, often fiercely critiquing systems of inequality and oppression. Sometimes these programs even provide potential solutions and avenues of hope for some of today’s most important social problems. For example, the documen- tary Pandemic: Facing AIDS () and the romantic comedy The Girl in the Café () come in two very different forms but are clearly meant to be direct inter- ventions in efforts to fight AIDS and global poverty.

Pourtant, tandis qu'il arpente les rues sales de Gotham City et emprunte les rames de métro couvertes de graffiti, dans une ville où monte une colère de plus en plus palpable, Arthur porte deux masques. C'est lui qui peint le premier po ur son boulot de clown publicitaire. Mais il ne peut jamais ôter le second : c'est le visage qu'il présente aux autres dans sa tentative futile d'appartenir au monde qui l'entoure – loin de l'homme incompris systématiquement malmené. S'il n'a jamais connu son père, Arthur a une mère fragile, sans doute sa meilleure amie, qui l'a rebaptisé "Happy" – surnom qui explique ce sourire sur ses lèvres qui, chez lui, dissimule une souffrance morale. Mais quand il est brutalisé par des adolescents dans la rue, raillé par des types en costard-cravate dans le métro et moqué par ses collègues clowns au travail, ce paria social se retranche de plus en plus de son entourage … JOKER de Todd Phillips s'attache au personnage maléfique légendaire et s'affirme comme un récit original et indépendant de toute saga, inédit au cinéma.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. ———— On Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ———— PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI ———— RICHARD K. WALKER Counsel of Record WALKER & PESKIND, PLLC LAW FIRM NAME 16100 N. 71st Street, Suite 140 Scottsdale, AZ 85254 (480) 483-6336 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioners October 15, 2018 WILSON-EPES PRINTING CO., INC. – (202) 789-0096 – WASHINGTON, D. C. 20002 QUESTION PRESENTED In McMillian v. Monroe County, Alabama, 520 U.S. 781 (1997), this Court held that counties cannot be liable in actions brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for the actions of sheriffs acting in their law enforcement capacities, unless the sheriffs are found to have been acting as “policymakers” for the counties within the meaning of Monell v. Dept. of Social Services of the City of New York, 436 U.S. 658 (1978). Here, the Ninth Circuit has misconstrued Arizona law to find sheriffs to be policymakers for Arizona’s counties in the area of law enforcement, took the unprecedented step of applying that concept to claims arising under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. § 12601, and the held Maricopa County (“the County”) bound by findings in a collateral case from which the County had been dismissed years before trial and entry of judgment in that case.
