Andrew Sanchez was a college pitcher for California State University at Northridge (CSUN). During one of his competitions he was struck by a line drive of an aluminum bat. He filed a suit against the bat manufacturer and other organizations stating that the bat design of this specific bat posed a significant increase of inherent risk in the sport of baseball, specifically pitchers. However, prior to the start of the 1999 baseball season, Sanchez signed a disclaimer form recognizing that playing carried a risk of injury. The defendants motioned for a summary judgment proclaiming the primary statement of the risk and that the plaintiff would be unable to prove the exact cause of his injuries. The trials court eventually granted the summary judgment when it

Candidate Genter began his brief strong with an Orientation that included key terrain in the area. However, SNC's Execution paragraph not only lacked detail, but completely omitted Tasks and any executable plan to accomplish the mission. The extent of SNC's Scheme of Maneuver was to utilize the planks to move, causing many questions from his fire team members following his brief. SNC's lack of initial plan significantly hindered the sense of urgency with which his fire team moved, and in his absence of direction, another team member began to make decisions and direct the team leader and the rest of the fire team what to do. When SNC did communicate to his fire team, he did so in a composed and calm tone of voice. However, this did little

Yes, Avila will be successful in this case but it will only be if he has not consented for the touching in the game.Had he consented to the touching, he would not win the case because he is voluntarily participating in the game.This means that the plaintiff consented to the touching. If there was no consent to touch, then this act can be regarded as intentional and harmful as it may be just out of revenge that batter's pitcher hit Avila in the head intentionally. Moreover, in that case the act of pitcher may not only be intentional but also harmful as it caused a serious injury on Avila's head without his consent. Since, batter's pitcher intentionally harmed Avila, batter of the rival team, this would be a case of intentional battery.Battery

On December 23, 2015 Client Tianna Footman called Case Manager requesting EMS to be called due to her too children’s were having a high fever for a few days and also they didn’t want to eat. EMS was called by Case Manger Arias at approximately 3:23pm and they arrive at 3:36PM. The family was escorted by ambulance to Jacoby Medical Center. Assistant Director Ms. Santiago was made aware.

Candidate Merritt briefed all the necessary requirements for his five paragraph order. While briefing, SNC had his entire fire team take a knee conducting security looking away from him and the obstacle while he briefed. Because of this, his fire team was not truly oriented to the problem. SNC did not conduct any type of leader's recon and came up with a plan that was severely lacking in detail and was more of a check in the box. While executing the mission, SNC got stumped and could not figure out how to adapt his plan. He paused for a minute while he tried to figure out a new plan, losing crucial time. While SNC addressed security, he did not enforce it. The candidate on security spent more time watching the problem be executed as

Candidate Pacheco’s brief was delivered confidently, with a slight exception during the Situation paragraph. During this paragraph, SNC took long pauses, and stumbled over his thoughts on the enemy situation. However, upon completion of the situation, he regained composure and bearing and completed the follow on paragraphs well providing elements necessary to execute the operation. As they stepped off on the operation, his speed was consistent with the situation and his non-verbal communication methods kept the team moving forward. Half way to the objective SNC’s control over the team was lost as the terrain began to dictate their movements. Once SNC realized this, he issued follow on signals to push out but immediately took contact. The

Candidate Suarez gave a detailed brief until he missed paragraph four and five in his order. SNC’s tasking statements were clear, detailed, and assigned to specific candidates, however they did not encompass the mission to completion. When faced with failure at his first attempt to complete the obstacle, SNC immediately developed and implemented a new plan, maintaining his team’s momentum and displaying a decisive bias for action. SNC’s ability to immediately develop new plans allowed him to keep his team moving toward mission accomplishment. While SNC had good command and communication with his team, he could have better positioned himself at the point of friction when his team started to become more spread out. Additionally, once the first

Upon issue of his order to his fire team, it was immediately apparent that Candidate Woodgie took time to think about and develop a clear initial plan. SNC briefed a scheme of maneuver that both outlined his plan to negotiate the obstacles from start to finish and included anonymous, sequential, and thorough tasking statements that painted a very clear picture for his team what needed to be done. This was followed by both specific tasking statements but also the assignment of specific roles in the fire team. SNC also briefed very specific coordinating instructions as tactical control measures indicating an keen understanding of the five paragraph order format. More importantly, those clear instructions further amplified the plan for his

Candidate Hamm briefed his order with confidence and displayed an understanding of the OSMEAC orders process and its organization. He briefed a thorough enemy situation by applying DRAWD analysis. His coordinating instructions also included extra information including order of march, base unit, and consolidation instructions. However, SNC did not brief a scheme of maneuver in the order, forcing him to develop a plan after his brief had concluded. His succession of command was a repeat of the order of march instead of who would assume his billet. SNC was confident in his brief and it was apparent throughout execution that he was in control of the team. Even after friction caused the team to falter, SNC was quick to re-focus the team and maintain

The plaintiff can argue that Pacheco’s job as a pastor was to provide counseling and spiritual healing when members are experiencing trials and tribulations. Not to mention, based on his job description and his role in the church, she felt he was reaching out to her to provide spiritual support, guidance and words of encouragement. That unless the job description stated a specific work environment, expected hours of work and days, there is no way for them to state his action weren’t during work hours (SHRM, 2017). She can further add, that based on Society of Human resource and employment laws, a job description must accurately reflect what is required and how much of that individual’s time will be spent doing the duties listed on their job

Candidate McCormick demonstrated a fair understanding of the Five Paragraph Order format. Though SNC mentioned all the paragraphs, the details weren't germaine. SNC briefed the contents of Administration and Logistics as that of Command and Signal and vice versa. SNC was confident during the delivery of the order to the Fire Team but that demeanor weaned at the moment of execution of the exercise. SNC did not formulate a plan prior to execution and blindly commenced the exercise without delegating responsibility to Fire Team members. SNC attempted to perform tasks without communicating to or supervising the Fire Team. Towards the seven minute mark of the exercise, SNC looked exhausted and could not think through the problem. SNC did not maintain

Richard Alvarez is a 17 year old youth who was placed in residential treatment in Tucson, AZ on January 7, 2016. Richard identifies himself as a multiracial, Navajo and Mexican, heterosexual male. Richard reports that he is creative and maintains positive relationships with his father and two younger sisters. He states that he is open to this placement, but indicates little hope regarding the ability for any treatment to relieve the severe depression he reports he is experiencing.

Candidate Watson delivered a sequential, and very informative five paragraph order to his fire team. He informed his subordinates of their specific tasks and movement formations throughout the problem. Additionally, he ensured they all understood the importance of why, and how fast the mission was to be completed. During the execution phase, SNC moved his fire team quickly to the objective as briefed in his order. He was constantly vigilant and aware of his surroundings. Upon enemy contact, SNC quickly delivered an ADDRAC and led his fire team towards the objective. His fire team willingly followed and rushed towards the aggressor. SNC did a good job by accounting for all of the candidates and communicating throughout the entire evolution.

Candidate Steinbach briefed a detailed orientation with all tactical control measures included. His five paragraph order was complete, with the exception of briefing danger areas to his fire team. Though his order was complete, he took a long time to brief, thus wasting time to actually complete the problem. Candidate Steinbach’s Fire Team had an extra member and SNC ensured to engage all candidates to work toward mission accomplishment. Candidate Steinbach set in security and frequently checked on him. SNC’s initial plan was not feasible and failed. Candidate Steinbach did not allow this to distract him from continuing the problem. He quickly developed a new plan with input from his Fire Team. Candidate Steinbach acted with a sense
