Thomas v. Department of Education

(United States Fifth Circuit) - Affirmed. A bankruptcy court's denial of a request to discharge a 60 year-old disabled former student's debt was affirmed. She failed to establish a showing of undue hardship. She had shown an inability to maintain a minimal standard of living because expenses exceeded income, but couldn't establish that her current condition would persist for a significant portion of the loan repayment period.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION v. AXIS REINSURANCE COMPANY

Malvo v. Mathena

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed: The juvenile offender of the DC Beltway sniper duo was convicted of capital murder for crimes committed when he was 17 years old. He was sentenced to 4 terms of life imprisonment without parole. After his conviction and sentence the US Supreme Court held that persons who committed serious crimes when under 18 could not be sentenced to death and that they could not be sentenced to life imprisonment unless the offenses reflected permanent incorrigibility and that these rules applied retroactively. Because of the new rules, the district court vacated the life sentences without parole and remanded for re-sentencing. The 4th Circuit affirmed.

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.

Warren v. Thomas

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed the denial of a habeas petition in a case where a murderer sentenced to death asked that the jury be instructed that he would have been ineligible for parole if sentenced to life in prison. In affirming the denial of his request, the appeals court noted that he only had a right to such a jury instruction if the prosecutor had argued that he would be a danger to society if released from prison, but the prosecutor here had not argued future dangerousness.

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.

Manning v. Caldwell

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Rejected a constitutional challenge to Virginia's interdiction statute, under which a person can be civilly designated a habitual drunkard and subject to restrictions on using or possessing alcohol. Four homeless people suffering from alcoholism who each had been prosecuted at least eleven times for violating their interdiction orders challenged the statute's constitutionality under the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on criminalizing status, and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of Due Process and Equal Protection. Affirming dismissal of their putative class action, the Fourth Circuit held that they failed to state a claim.
