Overall I found Kinsale’s claims department to be an average claims operation; as a matter of practice, Kinsale has instructed their claim staff, as a protective measure, not to document their claim files with any opinion related statements with regards to liability, damages, file direction and-or claim value. Kinsale is of the opinion; Bad Faith litigation is occurring with greater frequency against insurers. That all insurers, are under a constant threat by the plaintiff’s bar, who are looking to expose carriers through discovery to Bad Faith litigation and seeking to identify any missteps in the claims handling process. Consequently, Kinsale has a heighten sensitivity to Bad Faith litigation, restricting their claims staff from posting any
The Alva family enrolled their son, Sergio, at Paradise Cove, a behavioral modification program for troubled youth which was operated by the Defendants. The Alvas then initiated a suit against Teen Help Worldwide Association of Specialty Programs, R & B Billing, Dixie Contract Services, Robert Lichfield, Karr Fransworth, and Brent Facer, alleging a number of tort claims which arose from the enrollment of their child. This initial suit was made in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah on February 25, 2000. On August 5, 2003 the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted after hearing arguments regarding the motion on December 16, 2003. The motion for summary judgment was granted and filed on December 17, 2003. The Plaintiffs then did not file their notice of appeal until January 17, 2004, which was after the deadline to file such notice. The court then required the Plaintiffs to show reason as to why the appeal should be honored even though it was late.

While at GPM, I attended a session of Treatment Accountability Court (“TAC”) (formerly Mental Health Court) and DUI/Drug Court. Both Courts operate similarly. Several hours before the court session, members of the legal community meet to discuss the progress of each participate scheduled to appear that day.

Plaintiff claims false arrest and malicious prosecution. Plaintiff states he was arrested for criminal possession of marijuana however no marijuana was recovered. PO Hernandez, PO Bonet, and PO Heredia were members of the anti-crime in PSA 6. Officers observed via Viper camera plaintiff and two other apprehended individuals smoking marijuana in the park behind a housing project. Officers approached plaintiff and two individuals and conducted a stop and frisk. Officers did not recover any contraband or marijuana was recovered.

In this paper, I will explore the case of 10th Circuit: Employee Fresh out of Drug Rehab Not Protected by ADA Safe Harbor (Harrison & Wager, 2011) and discuss the following questions; The longer an individual refrains from drug use, is it more likely he or she will qualify for ADA protection? In close cases, an employee would be well-advises to consult with and obtain opinions from qualified professionals. Who are some of these professionals? Did the court follow the definition of the ADAA when it stated, “an individual is currently engaging in the illegal use of drugs” if the drug use was sufficiently recent to justify the employer’s reasonable belief that the drug abuse remained an ongoing problem”? Why or why not? And based upon you
Ms. Chaker to separately create duplicative sets of discovery to each of the Defendants is unnecessary here. Given their trustee-beneficiary relationship, defendants are of an aligned interest in this matter. Ms. Chaker seeks to assert her rights against both Ms. Lindstrom and Ms. Lindstrom-Blech under the same claims, and would provide identical discovery to each defendant even if they were served separately. Thus, even if Ms. Chaker separately served Defendants with discovery defining “you” and “your” for each individual, but otherwise identical, Defendants would provide the same responses as already furnished, and would most likely answer provide answers applicable to Defendants collectively.

The first issue is whether the court err in denying Wright’s motion to transfer for improper venue. The purpose of venue rule is to protect local trial courts from having to entertain claims that have little or no connection with the locality. Venue is proper in a county where the defendant resides or the transaction giving rise to the cause of action occurred. A partnership organized or transact business in IL is a resident for venue purpose of any county in which it has its registered office or other office or is doing business.
In a report I read from a source about the 1999 civil suit, Coretta Scott King, who was the wife of Dr. King. She was sure that Jowers, Mafia, local, state, and federal government agencies were connected with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. She as well powerfully believed that James Earl Ray was not the shooter and he was just set up to take the blame for what happened.
