(US 3rd Circuit) - No. 19-1949

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Vacating a district court's denial of a motion for attorney fees and remanding for consideration under the appropriate legal and evidentiary standards in a Lanham Act case in a suit relating to internet domain registry services because the district court required clear and convincing evidence of an exceptional case, rather than the Act's preponderance of the evidence standard.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded. Plaintiff was shot several times during an encounter with the police. The police were responding to an emergency call that plaintiff had committed burglary and assault. Plaintiff sued alleging excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment and that the police conduct violated Maryland law. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants holding that the police were enjoyed qualified immunity and no constitutional violations occurred. The appellate court held that the police violated plaintiffs Fourth Amendment rights, but that the police had qualified immunity. Because the trial court did not address the violation of the Fourth Amendment rights under Maryland law the case is remanded.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Reversed. Several environmental groups brought suit against the EPA for failing to perform duties under the Clean Water Act as to impaired waters in West Virginia. The district court found that plaintiffs have standing to bring the claim and granted summary judgment in their favor. The appellate court agreed that plaintiffs have standing, but reversed the grant of summary judgment. The appellate court reasoned that the doctrine of constructive submission under 33 USC section 1313(d)(2) which would have triggered the EPA’s duty to act was overcome by West Virginia’s partial compliance and agreement to do more. Therefore constructive submission would not apply and summary judgment improper.

(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.

(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.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed a conviction and sentence for federal drug trafficking conspiracy where a defendant pleaded guilty and waived his right to appeal except on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel or prosecutorial misconduct. Defendant's appeal argued that a factual basis did not support his guilty plea, which he could argue as this type of challenge falls outside the scope of a valid waiver. However, in affirming the Fourth Circuit held that a factual basis did, in fact, support his plea.

(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.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed that the district court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over a constitutional challenge to the Natural Gas Act. Landowners along the path of a proposed natural gas pipeline brought this action disputing the constitutionality of various provisions of the Natural Gas Act. Agreeing with the district court, the Fourth Circuit held that the suit must be dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction on the grounds that the landowners ought to have brought their claims through the agency review process laid out in the Natural Gas Act.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed that a school district did not deprive a former student of his rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The student claimed he should have been identified as a candidate for special education and that the school district failed to provide him a free appropriate public education. While agreeing that the school district had committed a procedural violation of the Act, the Fourth Circuit agreed with the district court that the violation did not actually deprive the student of a free appropriate public education.

Denver International Airport has allowed airlines ailing from the coronavirus pandemic to put off three months of rent and landing fees worth about $60 million, officials said Thursday as they outlined ways DIA is tightening its own belt.

No more than 15 passengers will be permitted on a typical bus, and each rail car will be limited to 30 passengers.

An RTD bus struck and killed a woman who was walking across eastbound U.S. 36 early Tuesday morning.

Rock scaling operations on U.S. Highway 285 along Kenosha Pass will result in ten minute delays for drivers and travelers using the roadway.

Weather forecasters issued a winter weather travel alert and have urged people to only venture out into snowy, slushy roads if it is essential.

Every bus and rail line except for train service to Denver International Airport will see drastically reduced service starting Sunday, as the Regional Transportation District adjusts to a coronavirus pandemic that has gutted its ridership.

Big highway projects along the Front Range have taken advantage of the unprecedented weeks-long lull in traffic set off by the coronavirus pandemic by speeding up some work.
