Ernest N. Finley, Jr. v. City of Montgomery, Steven L. Reed
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment and denial of a motion to stay in a civil rights and employment dispute involving a former police chief. The appellate court held that the appellant failed to challenge material facts or the lower court's reasoning, rendering the appeal frivolous under the summary affirmance standard.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. LORI ANN NADEMUS
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Lori Ann Nademus's fraud convictions and 110-month sentence, ruling that the district court did not abuse its discretion regarding competency or sentencing delays. The court held that Nademus's own statements during the hearing confirmed her competence and that her plea agreement waived her right to appeal the sentence.
Ulusemre v. Dombrosky
The Tenth Circuit affirmed the denial of a preliminary injunction on the alternate ground that the motion was moot. Because the school district modified the access ban to match the relief sought, there was no longer a live controversy to resolve.
