The Seventh Circuit affirmed a district court order extending a consent decree by one hundred eighteen days due to substantial noncompliance by immigration officials.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of a preliminary injunction sought by a plaintiff under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The panel held that the district court properly applied the legal standard and found the requested accommodation would hinder treatment and fundamentally alter the state hospital's services.

The Seventh Circuit affirmed a conviction for child pornography, ruling that a user's consent to a cloud storage provider's terms of service validly authorized a search of their files.
