US v. Tosi

(United States First Circuit) - Affirmed a sentence for possessing a firearm while subject to a qualifying court restraining order. The defendant, who had pleaded guilty, argued that the district court failed to properly consider mitigating factors in sentencing him to 33 months. The First Circuit found no error in his sentence.




si

Martinez-Perez v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Affirmed the denial of an asylum claim in a case where an immigrant claimed mistreatment in Honduras because of her Afro-Honduran race and physical disability caused by polio. The Board of Immigration Appeals rejected her asylum application upon finding that the harassment she endured in Honduras did not rise to the level of persecution. Agreeing with the Board's assessment, the First Circuit denied her petition for judicial review.




si

US v. Sirois

(United States First Circuit) - Affirmed that a defendant who had violated the conditions of his supervised release by possessing illegal drugs could be re-imprisoned notwithstanding his argument that his drug addiction was a disease. According to the defendant, sentencing him to a new term of imprisonment for manifesting a condition of his disease constituted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment. However, the First Circuit found no support in its precedent for his argument, emphasizing that he had violated the terms of his supervised release by failing three drug tests and being convicted of a state law charge of felony drug possession.

Peaje Investments LLC v. Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico

(United States First Circuit) - Held that a Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority bondholder did not hold a statutory lien on certain toll revenues. The bondholder contended that, in response to Puerto Rico's financial crisis, the Puerto Rican government was diverting toll revenues to which the bondholder was entitled under a lien and using them for purposes other than paying the bonds. However, the First Circuit concluded that the bondholder held no statutory lien on the toll revenues.




si

Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico v. Ad Hoc Group of PREPA Bondholders

(United States First Circuit) - Vacated an order denying a request by Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) bondholders for relief from an automatic stay. The bondholders argued that a statute enacted by Congress to address Puerto Rico's financial crisis did not preclude them from obtaining relief so that they could petition another court to place PREPA into receivership. Agreeing, the First Circuit held that the district court erred in concluding otherwise.




si

Carlson v. University of New England

(United States First Circuit) - Reinstated a university professor's claims that she was retaliated against in violation of Title VII and the Maine Human Rights Act. The professor alleged that she was transferred to a different department and suffered other retaliation after she complained of being sexually harassed by her department chair. Agreeing that genuine disputes of material fact existed, the First Circuit reversed the entry of summary judgment for the university and remanded.




si

Lemus v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Denied a petition for review of an administrative decision ordering a Guatemalan couple removed from the United States. The husband and wife moved to reopen their removal proceedings, claiming there was new relief available to them. Agreeing with the Board of Immigration Appeals that their motion was untimely and number-barred, the First Circuit noted that this was their 17th motion for reopening or reconsideration and was brought nearly 16 years after the initial removal order.




si

Sihotang v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Granted an Indonesian national's petition for review of a decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. The evangelical Christian, who alleged he would be persecuted based on his religion if returned to his homeland, argued that the Board of Immigration Appeals should have granted his motion to reopen his decade-old removal proceedings, because he had shown a material change in country conditions and had made a prima-facie showing of eligibility for asylum. Finding some merit in his arguments for reopening, the First Circuit vacated and remanded for further proceedings.




si

Boudreau v. Lussier

(United States First Circuit) - Held that a man who was convicted of possession of child pornography based on images found on his work computer could not proceed with his lawsuit claiming that his privacy rights were violated. The man, who was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, objected to the fact that his employer had covertly installed screenshot-capturing software on his work computer. He alleged that his employer violated the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act, and also that police officials infringed his Fourth Amendment rights in various ways. However, the First Circuit rejected his arguments and affirmed summary judgment for the defendants.




si

Aguilar-de Guillen v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Denied an undocumented immigrant's petition for review of a decision ordering her removed from the United States. The El Salvador national sought asylum relief and protection under the Convention Against Torture Act, citing gang death threats she had received in her home country that had prompted her to leave. However, the First Circuit found no basis to overturn the Board of Immigration Appeals' conclusion that she did not have a well-founded fear of future persecution or satisfy other requirements for the relief she sought.




si

Rivera v. Sessions

(United States First Circuit) - Dismissed an alien's petition for review of a decision denying his request for cancellation of removal. The Board of Immigration Appeals had found that the citizen of Guatemala was ineligible for cancellation of removal, due in part to criminal charges pending against him of child molestation of his ex-wife's then-twelve-year-old granddaughter. On appeal, the First Circuit dismissed his petition for review.
