Carl B. Sussman

“Magistrate Sussman’s report to the Court on June 7, 1982, recommended that we vacate the order for civil penalties of $5,000 and also that we not find Mazur in civil contempt.”

“Magistrate Sussman’s denial of their motion to dismiss, therefore, cannot properly be considered error.”

“Specifically, they contend that the Magistrate erred when denying their Requests for Production dealing with the personnel folders of those postal employees the government intended to call as witnesses, and for those Postal Service and Wheaton Post Office regulations, bulletins and internal guidelines pertaining or applicable to the parcel post handling functions performed by the defendants.”

“The defendants-appellants’ contention that Magistrate Sussman erred in denying their pretrial request to have the government establish its ‘chain of custody’ with respect to the videotapes presented at trial has, in this court’s opinion, been effectively mooted by defendant Garton’s admission, at trial, that said videotapes fairly and accurately depicted his actions on the evenings of November 4 and 5, 1977.”

“In one instance he granted a motion by American for sanctions against Empire; this court affirmed Magistrate Sussman’s order.”

“The Magistrate further found that Marathon gave proper notice to terminate the lease pursuant to the PMPA; based on that finding and of LoBosco’s breach of the lease due to misbranding, the Magistrate concluded that LoBosco should be evicted.”

“55. On November 18, 1982, Magistrate Sussman ordered that Lippo modify his supplemental interrogatory No. 3, and that the Mobil file its answer to same within 30 days. He further ordered that no sanctions be granted.”

“69. On February 24, 1983, after oral argument, Lippo’s motion to compel was granted and the request for sanctions was reserved until the final issues were determined.”

“71. On March 9, 1983, Magistrate Suss-man granted defendant’s motion to compel, and plaintiff’s request for the production of price surveys.”

“Upon consideration of the application which was made under oath, Magistrate Sussman issued the warrant.”

“The defendants have filed motions to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a search warrant issued by Magistrate Sussman on June 11, 1981, and executed on the same date.”

“The Magistrate concluded that the government had demonstrated, by clear and convincing evidence, that no condition *1448 or combination of conditions of pretrial release would reasonably assure the safety of the community and persons within the community.”

Contextual recommendation: a later opinion states, 'While First may have a copyright in the comic strips as expressions, it does not have a proprietary right in the comic books. Judge Bua and Magistrate Sussman explicitly so held.' The publication does not identify a distinct motion disposition.
