In re Daughtry A.

In a neglect proceeding under Family Court Act article 10, the mother appealed an amended order of fact-finding and disposition and an order of protection from the Family Court, Kings County. The appellate court dismissed the appeal from the order of protection, deeming it academic due to its expiration. The court affirmed the amended order of fact-finding and disposition, finding no violation of the mother's due process rights concerning the admission of her statements. The petitioner agency successfully established a prima facie case of neglect, which the mother failed to rebut with a credible explanation for the child's injuries.

Granger, Bartholomew

Bartholomew Granger, the applicant, is filing objections to the convicting court's findings of fact and conclusions of law in his writ of habeas corpus application. He argues that the convicting court failed to conduct an adequate fact-finding process, leaving numerous controverted and material factual issues unresolved. Key issues include potential prosecutorial misconduct regarding withheld evidence (his daughter's journal) and claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel for failing to investigate and present crucial mitigating evidence. Granger also points out inaccuracies in his trial counsel's affidavits and criticizes the court's practice of adopting the State's proposed findings wholesale. Consequently, Granger requests the Court of Criminal Appeals to remand his application to the convicting court for a full and fair opportunity to address his claims.

Matter of I-Conscious R. (George S.)

This case involves an appeal concerning a Family Court order that determined a respondent father abused and neglected his daughter and derivatively abused and neglected his son. The appellate court affirmed the fact-finding order, concluding that the petitioner presented a preponderance of evidence, including medical findings of genital herpes in the child, indicative of sexual abuse. The court upheld the neglect finding due to the father's failure to secure timely medical care for his daughter's severe symptoms. Additionally, the respondent's arguments regarding the suggestiveness of interviews, the testimony of his expert witness, and claims of ineffective assistance of counsel were all rejected by the court. An appeal against a separate order of protection was dismissed due to abandonment.

Brian Beckcom v. Texas A&M University

Appellant Brian Beckcom seeks to abate his appeal and remand the case to the trial court for findings of fact and conclusions of law. This motion is filed after the trial court's May 12, 2025 order dismissed Beckcom's petition for a writ of mandamus against Texas A&M University. Beckcom argues that the lack of specific findings from the trial court, despite a timely request, hinders his ability to present a proper appeal. The underlying dispute involves Texas A&M's alleged non-compliance with Public Information Act requests related to the Corps of Cadets' freshman experience program and a hazing investigation. Beckcom asserts that without these detailed findings, the legal and factual bases for the dismissal remain unclear, potentially jeopardizing his appellate arguments.

Thompson v. Offshore Co.

This action was brought by the survivors of four American decedents who died when the No. 4 leg of the Drilling Rig GEMINI collapsed in the Gulf of Suez on October 8, 1974. The defendants stipulated liability, and the trial proceeded solely on the issue of damages. The Court made findings of fact regarding the decedents' backgrounds, earnings, and family situations, and applied general maritime law, the Jones Act, and the Death on the High Seas Act to determine pecuniary and nonpecuniary losses. The Court denied recovery for conscious pain and suffering prior to death due to lack of evidence and also denied claims for penalty wages under 46 U.S.C. § 596, finding Sections 621-628 to be the exclusive statutory remedy for deceased seamen's wages. Total damages awarded were $414,000.00, plus unpaid wages for each decedent.

Garza, Humberto

This document contains Applicant Humberto Garza's objections to the Convicting Court's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, and its recommendation to deny habeas corpus relief. Garza seeks the withdrawal of the February 12, 2015 Order, the recusal of Judge Noe Gonzalez, and the assignment of a different judge or revised findings. The objections are rooted in concerns over alleged ex parte communications with the jury by the judge and bailiff, the court's adoption of the State's findings, and insufficient funding for case development. Additionally, Garza objects to the exclusion of expert reports diagnosing Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and outlining its impact on his life.

Eastern Air Lines, Inc. v. International Ass'n of MacHinists & Aerospace Workers (In Re Ionosphere Clubs, Inc.)

The court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law, granting a preliminary injunction against the IAM for their unlawful strike activities targeting Eastern Air Lines at LaGuardia and Hartsfield Airports. The enjoined conduct includes trespassing, mass picketing, harassment, violence, and vandalism against Eastern's employees, customers, and property. The court found that these actions caused substantial and irreparable harm to Eastern and that public authorities were unable or unwilling to provide adequate protection. While the injunction imposed strict restrictions on these disruptive behaviors, the court denied Eastern's request to enjoin residential picketing, citing the Norris-LaGuardia Act. This decision aims to balance the unions' right to strike with Eastern's need to continue operations and protect its assets and personnel during the Chapter 11 reorganization.

Vega v. Gasper

This document presents the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law from a hearing held on January 18, 1995, in El Paso, Texas, following a remand from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court addressed the compensability of morning and afternoon wait times for seasonal agricultural workers employed by Defendant John W. Gasper. It concluded that both periods of wait time were compensable under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as they primarily benefited Gasper and employees could not effectively use the time for personal purposes. The court also determined that Gasper lacked good faith and reasonable grounds for his failure to compensate the plaintiffs, making him liable for liquidated damages under the FLSA and statutory damages under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act (AWPA). Consequently, the court ordered a recomputation of the ultimate award in favor of the plaintiffs.

In re Monique M.

The mother appealed a fact-finding order that found she abused her child Sonique M. and derivatively abused Monique M., Treston D., and Daymondray T., and two dispositional orders. The evidence showed the mother allowed her boyfriend, against whom an order of protection was issued, back into her home, where he sexually abused Sonique M., and the mother failed to intervene. However, the Family Court erred by issuing the dispositional orders without first conducting a mandatory dispositional hearing, which violated due process. The appellate court reversed the orders of disposition and remitted the matter to the Family Court, Kings County, for a dispositional hearing before a different judge due to concerns about the original judge's impartiality.

In re Jessica L.

This case concerns an appeal by a father against a finding of neglect regarding his two children. The children resided with their mother, who had a history of drug use. The father, suspecting the mother was currently using drugs, anonymously contacted the Administration for Children's Services (ACS). Although the mother subsequently tested positive for cocaine, the appellate court reversed the Family Court's neglect finding against the father. The court determined that the father's actions, including his proactive call to ACS, met the minimum degree of care required and did not constitute neglect, thereby vacating the finding and dismissing the petition against him.
