In this case, the question presented is
whether settlement agreements between a public school and the
parents of a public school student who requires special
education services are "public records" or exempt from
disclosure. We conclude that the settlement agreements,
regarding placement of students in out-of-district private
educational institutions, are exempt from

Devlin has been before this Court multiple times since his April 2007 conviction

Appeal from the denial of special motion to strike pursuant to California’s anti-SLAPP statute.

I. INTRODUCTION

Appellant Jagan Mahadevan (Mahadevan) appeals from the denial of his special motion to strike pursuant to California’s anti-SLAPP statute (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16) filed in response to respondent Prem Bikkina’s (Bikkina) complaint alleging that Mahadevan made false

This appeal from the dismissal of a complaint presents two issues of first impression concerning the Video Privacy Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2710. First, who is a “subscriber” (and therefore a “consumer”) under the Act? Second, what exactly is the “personally identifiable information” protected by the Act? We conclude that a person who downloads and uses a free mobile application on his smart

The State of Texas filed a petition to commit Kenneth Wayne Terry as a sexually violent predator. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. §§ 841.001-.151 (West 2010 & Supp. 2014). A jury found that Terry is a sexually violent predator and the trial court rendered a final judgment and an order of civil commitment. In six appellate issues, Terry challenges the denial of his motion to recuse the trial jud

We begin with the facts alleged in the complaint. In 2007, Bikkina entered a Ph.D. program at the McDougall School of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Tulsa (University). Mahadevan was his dissertation advisor and supervisor from 2007 to 2010. Bikkina complained that Mahadevan was repeatedly reassigning him to different projects and requested a new advisor, which he was given in May 2

Michael Giorgio admitted to soliciting money from “straw campaign donors” in violation of federal campaign-finance laws and signed a plea agreement to that effect. After a jury acquitted his co-conspirators on similar charges, he had second thoughts, trying twice to withdraw his plea. The district court declined each time. Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm.

On March 30, 2015, both the Senate and the House of Representatives passed S.B. 1011 with supermajorities. S.B. 1011 had one purpose: to repeal Idaho Code section 54-2512A, a law which allowed wagering on “historical” horse races. In the afternoon of March 30, 2015, the bill was presented to the Governor, who then had five days to veto the bill pursuant to the Idaho Constitution. On April 2, 2015

This appeal presents the recurring issue of statutory
interpretation that arises when express terms in one
provision of a statute are arguably in tension with language
in another provision of the same statute. The Supreme Court
recently encountered a similar issue when it interpreted a

in Burwell v. King, 135 S. Ct
