Eagle Pass Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Selling Pirated Dvds U.S. Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas Johnny Sutton, U.S. Attorney FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Shana Jones, Special Assistant Daryl Fields, Public Information Officer (210) 384-7452 February 3, 2009 EAGLE PASS MAN SENTENCED TO FEDERAL PRISON FOR SELLING PIRATED DVDS United States Attorney Johnny Sutton announced that in Del Rio this morning, 40-year-old Raul Martinez of Eagle Pass, Texas, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $190,000 restitution to the Motion Picture Association of America for selling illegally copied DVD movies and games. “These artists work hard to produce these films and the rewards of their hard work should not be stolen,” stated United States Attorney Johnny Sutton. According to court records, on June 9, 2007, at a flea market in Eagle Pass, Martinez sold to an individual acting in an undercover capacity illegally copied DVDs of Norbit, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Shrek 3, Hostel II, Knocked Up and Spiderman 3. Approximately two months later at the same location, Martinez sold to the same individual five illegally copied DVDs including the Simpsons, Are We Done Yet, Fracture, 300 and Transformers. In September 2007, federal authorities recovered more than 10,000 pirated DVDs from the defendant’s residence and vehicle. On December 12, 2007, Martinez pleaded guilty to one count of copyright infringement. During this morning’s hearing, United States District Judge Alia Ludlum ordered that Martinez self surrender by May 18, 2009, to begin serving his prison term. This case was investigated by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation with assistance from the United States Anti-Piracy Operations Division of the Motion Picture Association of America. Assistant United States Attorney Rick Bennett prosecuted this case on behalf of the Government. ##### .

  • A Narrative Analysis of the Big, Black and Beautiful Body Subjectivity Constituted on Large African American Women
    THE FATTENING HOUSE: A NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE BIG, BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL BODY SUBJECTIVITY CONSTITUTED ON LARGE AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN Angela Denise Prater A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2008 Committee: John Warren, Ph.D., Advisor Khani Begum, Ph.D. Graduate Faculty Representative Sung-Yeon Park, Ph.D. Thomas Mascaro, Ph.D. © 2008 Angela Prater All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT John T. Warren, Advisor This study examines the ways in which the binaries of a constitutive subjectivity and social reality constrain the identities of large African American women. This constitutive subjectivity is called the Big, Black and Beautiful Body (B4) narrative. The B4 narrative positions large African American women as having high body esteem regardless of current social messages that promote thin body image standards. To explain the operation and power of the B4 narrative, the fattening house, an old Nigerian custom, is used as a metaphor to demonstrate the house’s roots to past racist stereotypes. This dissertation employs narrative analysis to critically access twenty in-depth interviews of large African American women and situate their lived experiences within the metaphorical fattening house. Findings reveal these women simultaneously resist and accept the B4 subjectivity and struggle between the binary of the B4 and their social reality. As such, the constitutive B4 subjectivity constrains their lives through four prominent narratives presented here as rooms within the fattening house. This study suggests large African American females constantly negotiate their identity to fit within the B4 subjectivity, although their social reality is not the same.
