The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of a pro se employment discrimination appeal. The court held that the appellant forfeited appellate review because her objections to the magistrate judge's recommendation lacked the required specificity.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the denial of a motion to suppress evidence found in a backpack seized during an arrest in a public parking lot. The court held that the inventory search exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement authorized the officers' actions under the circumstances.
The Fourth Circuit dismissed in part and affirmed in part the appeal of a defendant who pled guilty to drug conspiracy charges. The court enforced the defendant's appellate waiver and found no meritorious grounds for appeal outside its scope.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the sentence imposed on Marcius Haywood following his guilty plea to a drug offense. The court granted counsel's motion to withdraw after finding no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a Voting Rights Act claim due to the plaintiff's lack of Article III standing. The court held that the plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts showing a substantial likelihood of future injury from the sheriff's conduct.
The Fourth Circuit affirmed a criminal judgment where a defendant challenged the substantive reasonableness of a below-Guidelines sentence. The court found the district court properly applied the abuse-of-discretion standard and adequately weighed the statutory factors.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed the conviction of Ricardo Davalos Martinez for drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy. The court found sufficient evidence that Martinez knowingly participated in a prison-led narcotics organization.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed a federal firearms offender's prison sentence but vacated two conditions of supervised release. The court held that the district court erred by imposing a GED requirement and a computer search condition without pronouncing them at the sentencing hearing.
The Fourth Circuit affirmed the defendant's convictions for assault resulting in serious bodily injury on a commercial aircraft. The court vacated two special conditions of supervised release because the district court failed to adequately explain them.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment to an insurance company denying coverage for flood damage to a jewelry store. The court held that the backup of a sewer system was caused by a flood, triggering a policy exclusion, and that the insured failed to provide reliable evidence of wind damage to the building's walls.
