· 2002-07-08
Appeal (appellant (defendant Juan Arthur Zaragoza)) Denied

Barron v. Ashcroft
· 2004-02-10
Petition for review (petitioners (Baltazar Hernandez Barron and Margarita Hernandez Ramirez)) Moot / procedural

“The petitioners' due process challenge is therefore procedural in nature, and because it was never presented below, we lack subject-matter jurisdiction to address it now.”

Port of Stockton v. Western Bulk Carrier KS
· 2004-06-15
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Port of Stockton)) Denied

“By failing to file an appropriate motion within the relevant time limit, to say nothing of failing to appeal from the underlying judgment, the Port waived any claim to attorneys' fees arising out of the original litigation, and therefore cannot recover them in this new action.”

Schneider v. California Department of Corrections
· 2003-09-29
Appeal (appellants (plaintiff inmates, Paul J. Schneider et al.)) Granted

“Because we conclude that further factual development is needed to determine whether California's failure to pay interest to individual inmates on their ITA funds violates the Takings Clause, the district court's grant of summary judgment and denial of injunctive relief is VACATED and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
