RULINGS

by Daniel Conrad


CHOICE OF LAW

The Fifth Circuit ruled that a Louisiana federal court improperly found an
Indian citizen’s claims are governed by the Jones Act and general maritime law.
He says he contracted malaria while working on a Liberian ship managed by a
Singaporean company. The shipworker suffered gangrene and had several toes
amputated, but he has not shown the relevant portions of Singaporean or Indian
law conflict with Liberian law. The law of the ship’s flag prevails.




PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT

The Hawaii Court of Appeals ruled that a prosecutor misrepresented blood and
witness evidence during closing arguments against a man accused of stabbing a
teen girl unprovoked. The prosecutor conflated defendant with a person who was
seen washing blood, though testimony did not establish these were the same
person, and alluded to stains on defendant’s shirt as being blood, though this
was not established. This amounts to prosecutorial misconduct and a new trial is
ordered.




SETTLEMENT STOLEN

A federal court in Maryland granted a motion to enforce the settlement agreement
in a subrogation action between an insurer and a company whose alleged
negligence caused damage to the insurer’s property. The parties agreed to a
$240,000 settlement, but at the time of the transfer, an imposter intercepted
the funds by posing as the insurer’s counsel. The company must pay the insurer
$240,000 and denies the insurer’s request for costs, attorney fees and interest.




DEFAMATION LEAGUE

A federal court in Texas declined to dismiss John Sabal’s defamation lawsuit
against the Anti-Defamation League. Sabal, who owns the conservative publication
The Patriot Voice, argues the ADL falsely connected him with anti-Semitic
statements and conspiracy theories. The statements rise above the level of
inference or opinion because they could be interpreted as factual by readers.




CONTAMINATION SETTLEMENT

A federal court in California issued a text-only minute order indicating that a
settlement has been reached between the nonprofit group California Open Lands
and a solid waste facility managed by Butte County’s Department of Public Works.
The nonprofit had accused the county of allowing contaminants to seep out of its
facility and into the nonprofit’s wetland preserve. A consent decree is expected
to come by mid-July.

HOT CASES

HUNTER BIDEN APPEALS

Hunter Biden filed an interlocutory appeal with the Ninth Circuit on Friday,
arguing a federal judge improperly rejected his bid to dismiss tax evasion
charges because a plea agreement barred the special counsel from charging him.


ALASKA, HAWAIIAN AIRLINES

Airline passengers and former travel agents seek to stop Alaska Airlines from
acquiring Hawaiian Airlines Inc., saying the deal creates a monopoly, shrinks
competition in multiple passenger airline markets and threatens Hawaii's
economy.


LEAD IN LUNCHABLES

Popular Lunchables meal kits contain lead, cadmium and phthalates, two mothers
say in a class action that accuses Kraft Heinz of deceiving customers. A recent
report showed that Lunchables — often consumed by children — contained over 60%
of the maximum allowed levels of the toxic chemicals that can cause brain damage
and other health issues.


IRON MIKE AIRPLANE ASSAULT

Mike Tyson punched out a fellow JetBlue passenger after he declined the former
heavyweight boxing champ's offer of magic mushrooms on the flight, the passenger
says in a lawsuit that looks to also hold the airline accountable for Tyson's
behavior.


UNFAIR BAIL HEARINGS

Those who are arrested in Travis County aren't provided counsel for initial bail
hearings, one arrestee says in a class action that accuses the county of
creating a "two-tier" system that favors those who can afford to hire an
attorney.
