Cannon v. Village of Bald Head Island

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirming the district court's denial of qualified immunity regarding alleged due process violations in the case of the firing of emergency personnel officers involved in a group text-message chain that questioned the competence to perform various emergency services, workout tips, sexual gibes, and other inappropriate content, but concluding that the district court erred in holding that officials were not entitled to qualified immunity as to First Amendment retaliation claims and reversing and remanding on those grounds.




and

US v. Jesus Alejandro Chavez

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed the convictions of the defendants for all crimes charged against them, including violent crimes in the aid of racketeering. Defendants alleged errors and Brady violations. The court held that a Brady claim must establish evidence that was favorable to the accused, suppressed, and material to the verdict, but did not find that there was any such evidence rising to the level of a Brady exclusion.




and

Strothers v. City of Laurel, Maryland

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Summary judgment reversed. A municipal employee who was fired a single day after threatening to file a formal racial harassment grievance was entitled to a trial on her retaliation claim under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.




and

Savage v. State of Maryland

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirming in part the dismissal of an African-American police officer's discrimination and retaliation claims against a state prosecutor for reading aloud criminal suspects' letters containing racial epithets at a trial preparation meeting that the officer attended. The Fourth Circuit held that the police officer did not state a claim for racial harassment or retaliation as no reasonable employee could believe that the prosecutor's conduct violated civil rights law and because the prosecutor was protected by absolute prosecutorial immunity.




and

Abdul-Mumit v. Alexandria Hyundai LLC

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed the dismissals of three consumer lawsuits alleging that Hyundai Motor America misrepresented the estimated fuel economy of certain models of the Hyundai Elantra. In affirming the dismissals, the Fourth Circuit held that the complaints failed to satisfy federal pleading standards, except as to a single claim in one of the complaints, which the appeals court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.




and

Griffin v. Hartford Life and Accident Ins. Co.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed that an insurance company did not improperly terminate an individual's long-term disability benefits. A former medical transcriptionist who had stopped working due to pain in his forearm and wrist that prevented him from typing argued that he was still disabled, as that term was used in his employee welfare benefit plan. However, the district court found no evidence that the insurer's decision to discontinue his benefits was unreasonable, and the Fourth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of his ERISA action.




and

VanDevender v. Blue Ridge of Raleigh, LLC

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Held that plaintiffs bringing three wrongful death nursing home malpractice claims were entitled to punitive damages. The nursing homes argued that they were not liable for punitive damages because there was no aggravating factor justifying such an award, and the trial court granted their JMOL motion. Reversing, the Fourth Circuit held that the plaintiffs had presented evidence sufficient for a reasonable jury to award punitive damages under North Carolina law.

International Longshore and Warehouse Union v. ICTSI Oregon, Inc.

(United States Ninth Circuit) - Affirming the district court's dismissal of an antitrust claim alleging anti-competitive activities engaged in by a labor union and a multi-employer collective bargaining association, holding that nonstatutory exemption, the Noerrr-Pennington doctrine, and Sherman Act immunized defendants' activities.

Arandell Corp. v. CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc.

(United States Ninth Circuit) - Reinstated an antitrust claim against a wholly owned natural gas subsidiary that said it had no knowledge of its parent company's alleged price-fixing scheme that had pumped up the price of gas. The subsidiary argued that it could not be held liable for violating Wisconsin antitrust law because it was not involved in anything unlawful that its parent company may have done. Unpersuaded, the Ninth Circuit emphasized that a parent and a wholly owned subsidiary always act as a single enterprise whenever they engage in coordinated activity, and thus reversed the grant of summary judgment to the subsidiary.

Anderson News, L.L.C. v. American Media, Inc.

The wholesaler delivered magazines to retail stores and it alleged that when it tried to impose a surcharge on the publishers in 2009, they conspired to boycott and drive the wholesaler out of business. On appeal, the Second Circuit found that the wholesaler had presented insufficient evidence of a boycott scheme to survive summary judgment. The panel also affirmed summary judgment against the publishers' counterclaims.

Gold Medal LLC v. USA Track and Field

(United States Ninth Circuit) - Affirmed that the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Track and Field did not violate antitrust law by imposing advertising restrictions during the Olympic Trials. A chewing gum company that wished to pay to display its logo on athletes' apparel brought this suit to challenge the advertising restrictions. Rejecting the company's arguments, the Ninth Circuit held that the defendant organizations were entitled to implied antitrust immunity on the basis that their advertising restrictions were integral to performance of their duties under the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act.
