Dear Colleagues -
I usually do not ask for assistance. However, since a recent incident is
up close and personal, I'm reaching out.
One of my closest friends had a call made to his office recently on their
800 number. The caller asked for him and when his secretary replied that
he was out of the office at the time, the caller responded words to the
effect, "You need to find him right away and tell him his son was just killed
in
a car accident". Since his 13 year old son is adored by all of us, you
can imagine the reaction in an office of doting women.
The police were called who suggested the phone company be contacted since
the caller did not break any law. The phone company was just able to
provide the originating phone number instantly which turns out to be a cell
phone, I do believe. The number is 541-654-1745 and if anyone knows anyone who
truly has the ability and wherewithal to obtain owner identification
information, please either send them to me or provide me with their contact
information.
I thank you all in advance for your courteous and expeditious handling of
this most important inquiry.
Sincerely yours,
Sue

Ban on social media for sex offenders unconstitutional, court rules
By Sheri Qualters The National Law Journal January
23, 2013
ACLU of Indiana legal director Kenneth Falk
A federal appeals court has struck down an Indiana law that imposes broad
social media restrictions on most registered sex offenders, finding it
unconstitutional.
On January 23, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that
the law—which bars most registered sex offenders from using social
networking websites, instant messaging services and chat programs—broadly
bans
protected speech rather than curtailing speech targeted to minors.
A 'John Doe' filed a class action in January 2012 on behalf of similarly
situated registered sex offenders in the state, claiming that the law
violated their First Amendment rights.
In June 2012, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt of the Southern District of Indiana
found the law to be narrowly crafted to serve a significant state interest
and that class members have ample alternatives, including social
networking sites without minors, e-mail and message boards.
The Seventh Circuit reversed Pratt's decision and remanded the case for
her to enter judgment for Doe and issue a permanent injunction against
enforcement of the law.
Judge Joel Flaum wrote the opinion in _Doe v. Marion County Prosecutor_
(http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/tmp/P60UVFTG.pdf) , joined by Judge John Daniel
Tinder and Judge John Tharp Jr. of the Northern District of Illinois, who
sat on the case by designation.
"Though content neutral, we conclude that the Indiana law is not narrowly
tailored to serve the state's interest, " Flaum wrote. "It broadly
prohibits substantial protected speech rather than specifically targeting the
evil
of improper communications to minors."
Flaum noted that "the Supreme Court has invalidated bans on expressive
activity that are not the substantive evil if the state had alternative means
of combating the evil."
He also observed that Indiana has other options for curbing inappropriate
communication between minors and sex offenders.
He stressed that laws affecting the First Amendment require narrow
tailoring: "Subsequent Indiana statutes may well meet this requirement, but the
blanket ban on social media in this case regrettably does not."
Kenneth Falk, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of
Indiana, who argued for Doe, said, "We felt this law was fatally overbroad and
not narrowly tailored and that's what the Seventh Circuit found.…Indiana
already has on the books laws that prohibit [sex offenders from]
inappropriate communications with children. This law targeted innocent conduct
that
justifiably was not criminalized by the other laws."
In an e-mailed statement sent through a spokesperson, Indiana Attorney
General Greg Zoeller said the state's legislature "made a policy decision in
2008 that the state's reasonable interests in protecting children from
predators outweighed the interest of allowing convicted sex offenders to troll
social media for information. We have worked with county sheriffs and
prosecutors in our defense of the legal challenges to these protections of our
children, and we will need to review this 7th Circuit ruling to determine the
State's next steps."
Frances Barrow, an attorney at the Indiana Attorney General's office
argued for the state.

Utah sheriffs warn Obama of deadly war over guns
January 20, 2013 | 1:28 pm | Modified: January 20, 2013 at 1:30 pm
_Paul Bedard_ (http://washingtonexaminer.com/author/paul-bedard)
Washington Secrets The Washington Examiner
(http://washingtonexaminer.com/photo/pid/2592602)
In the most strident warning over gun control to President Obama yet, the
Utah Sheriffs' Association is pledging to go to war over any administration
plan to take guns away, even if it means losing their lives.
Calling the Second Amendment a sacred right of citizens to protect
themselves from "tyrannical subjugation," the association state elected
sheriffs
said in a new _letter_
(http://www.utahsheriffs.org/USA-Home_files/2nd%20Amendment%20Letter.pdf) , "we
are prepared to trade our lives for the
preservation of its traditional interpretation."
Theirs is the first meaningful proof that _some in law enforcement_
(http://washingtonexaminer.com/ted-nugent-ammo-sells-out-says-cops-wont-obey-oba\
ma-o
n-guns/article/2518607#.UPw0uaU1lhQ) and the military are preparing to
fight federal forces if the president wins his goal of sweeping gun control.
In a direct warning to Obama, the FBI and other agencies, the sheriffs
wrote: "Make no mistake, as the duly-elected sheriffs our our respective
counties, we will enforce the rights guaranteed to our citizens by the
Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon our
constituents
and take from them what the Bill of Rights--in particular Amendment
II--has given them."
While he wants an assault weapons ban and limits on ammo magazines, the
president has not yet suggested he wants to confiscate guns.
The association revealed their concerns in a _letter_
(http://www.utahsheriffs.org/USA-Home_files/2nd%20Amendment%20Letter.pdf) to
the president just
made public. It was sent on January 17. It opens by decrying the recent
shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
But the group argued that guns are simply "instruments," and that they are
needed by law-abiding citizens to sometimes subdue killers. "The citizenry
must continue its ability to keep and bear arms, including arms that
adequately protect them from all types of illegality," said the _letter_
(http://www.utahsheriffs.org/USA-Home_files/2nd%20Amendment%20Letter.pdf) .
Several groups have argued that assault weapons and high-capacity
magazines are needed for self defense.
The association also called on Obama to push his efforts through Congress,
not executive orders with no debate. "Please remember that the Founders of
this great nation created the Constitution, and its accompanying Bill of
Rights, an effort to protect citizens from all forms of tyrannical
subjugation."

Dear Colleagues -
For starters I want to take this time to thank everyone of you who came
forward and offered assistance regarding identifying the owner of a cell phone
number. Many of you came forward, free of charge, and provided your
results without hesitation or questions. Being a moderator on some of these
lists for so many years definitely paid off. LOL Others came forward and
offered their services charging anywhere from $25 to $300. Again, I thank
you.
Secondly, for those who asked, both publicly and privately, about things
such as pretexts, etc., perhaps you didn't notice my license number. As the
self-proclaimed "Queen of Locates", give a girl a break. I've been doing
this longer than some of you have been alive. It's funny; just the other
day a friend of mine, an attorney named Bonnie who some of you have met, was
over and we were just reminiscing about a variety of things. She was
telling others this story about one time when a bunch of attorneys were sitting
at the local watering hole waiting for my arrival with bated breath. They
desperately needed a phone number and believed I was the only one who could
help them. This was pre-cell phone. Shoot, for that matter it was
pre-PC. Anyway, I excused myself for a few minutes and returned carrying a
local
phone book. I laid it down having already highlighted the phone number
they sought. Yep, do the obvious first !!!
The results provided for this inquiry were curious, to say the least.
We've all come up against this numerous times but I just wanted to take this
time to use it as a reminder. Everyone who tried TLO met with negative
results. For those who used Skipmax and/or Lexis/Nexis' Accurint, the results
were plentiful but not the same. Skipmax revealed a male's name and
Accurint revealed a name belonging to a female. Although I still do not know
the
exact identity of the holder of this cell phone, I wanted to share the
outcome of my inquiry.
In closing I will say that it has been a pleasure dealing with all of you
through the years. I will be unsubscribing from the various groups this
weekend due to health reasons which means also giving up the role of MODERATOR
for the respective groups involved. It has truly been my pleasure.
Sincerely yours,
Sue

I sincerely hope you are not thinking of retirement! It would not be fair to the
many PI's and PI's employees that rely on your incredible memory and knowledge
regarding this business. It would take about 10 seasoned PI's to put together
the equivalent amount of expertise that resides in your brain. Besides, Tom and
I have been talking of getting you to join us for lunch at Porto's in the next
few days, assuming you are amenable. What's the best day of the week for you?
May I ask, what's wrong with you? Who knows, we might know of a super doctor or

Sue, I'll keep you in my prayers. Hang in there.

In sweeping ruling, D.C. Circuit declares NLRB appointments
unconstitutional
By Mike Scarcella and Jenna Greene The National Law Journal
January 25, 2013

A federal appeals court in Washington has declared unconstitutional
President Barack Obama's recess appointments to a labor board in a sweeping
decision that curtailed executive power and undermined the legitimacy of a
high-profile, controversial appointment to the administration's consumer
financial protection agency.
The unanimous decision of a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the D.C. Circuit set up a potential showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court
over the scope of the power of the president to fill vacancies through
recess appointments. The court's ruling marked a significant blow for the U.S.
Justice Department, which had defended the recess appointments to the
National Labor Relations Board as a valid, historical exercise of presidential
authority.
The central question the D.C. Circuit confronted is whether the U.S.
Senate was in recess in January 2012, when Obama appointed three people to the
labor board—personnel moves that enabled the board to continue to function
with a quorum. The appeals court determined that the Senate had not in fact
recessed, rendering the presidential appointments an unlawful sidestep of
the role of the Senate to review and vote on candidates for office.
The ruling cast doubt on the legitimacy of Obama's appointment, also in
January 2012, of Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau. Republicans were opposed to Cordray, whose appointment is facing a
challenge in a case pending in U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia.
The appeals court in Washington said in its January 25 ruling that the
president has power to make appointments only during "the recess" of the Senate
—that is, the period between the sessions of the Senate when it is not in
session and therefore unavailable to assess and vote on presidential
nominations.
Extending its analysis of the constitution's recess appointments clause,
two judges on the court—Chief Judge David Sentelle and Judge Karen LeCraft
Henderson—also determined that the vacancy must "arise" during a recess and
not merely exist at the time. (Judge Thomas Griffith agreed that the NLRB
appointments were invalid; he said the analysis should have ended there,
however.)
"The power of a written constitution lies in its words," Sentelle said in
the opinion. "It is those words that were adopted by the people. When those
words speak clearly, it is not up to us to depart from their meaning in
favor of our own concept of efficiency, convenience, or facilitation of the
functions of government."
A DOJ spokeswoman said in a statement that Obama's recess appointments are
"constitutionally sound." The department didn't immediately announce
whether it will ask the full appeals court to hear the dispute. White House
spokesman Jay Carney called the ruling "novel and unprecedented," saying that
it "contradicts 150 years of practice by Democratic and Republican
administrations."
Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher partner Miguel Estrada, who represented and argued
for Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and 41 other senators,
described the D.C. Circuit decision as "a major milestone in safeguarding the
separation of powers."
"The appointments that the court invalidated here are only the latest in a
long-running campaign by the executive to encroach on the Senate's
constitutionally prescribed role in the appointments process and to transform
appointments into a one-man show," Estrada said in a statement.
At the time of the labor board recess appointments, the Senate was meeting
every three business days in "pro forma" sessions. Obama concluded the
Senate was in recess. In announcing the recess appointments, he said: "I am
not going to stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology
ahead of the people we were elected to serve."
The appeals court rejected several interpretations of the words "the
recess," as they appear in the constitution, including whether the phrase
refers
to "some substantial passage of time, such as a ten- or twenty-day break."
Defining "the recess" as an adjournment of more than three days, the
appeals court said, "lacks any constitutional basis."
"We will not do violence to the Constitution by ignoring the Framers'
choice of words," Sentelle wrote.
DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel determined in its review of presidential
recess appointment authority that Obama had discretion to declare that the
pro-forma sessions amounted to a Senate recess. The D.C. Circuit rejected the
government's position.
"This will not do," Sentelle wrote. "Allowing the President to define the
scope of his own appointments power would eviscerate the Constitution's
separation of powers."
The D.C. Circuit decision flowed from a dispute between bottling company
Noel Canning, a division of The Noel Corp., and the labor board. Noel
Canning was challenging, on appeal, an NLRB order that required the Yakima,
Washington-based company to accept a collective bargaining agreement. The
appeals court voided the labor board's order.
Jones Day litigation partner Noel Francisco, who argued for Noel Canning
and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in the dispute in the appeals court,
heralded the D.C. Circuit, saying Obama "clearly transgressed" his authority.
"The D.C. Circuit has held the president accountable for it," Francisco said.
The D.C. Circuit's ruling carries the potential to have sweeping effect.
For the NLRB, the decision "throws into doubt the validity of many
significant NLRB decisions in the last year," said Nelson Cary, a labor and
employment partner at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease.
Among them, Cary said, is the NLRB's first decision on whether Facebook
rants against co-workers are protected, concerted activity; whether an
employer must continue to deduct union dues after a labor contract expires;
numerous decisions holding various employee handbook provisions unlawful and
decisions impacting the confidentiality of workplace investigations.
Still, Cary noted that the reach—at least for now—of the DC Circuit
ruling is limited. "NLRB decisions that go before different courts of appeals
may be upheld if those courts disagree with the DC Circuit's reasoning," he
said.
Proskauer Rose partner Ronald Meisburg, who was general counsel of the
NLRB from 2006 until 2010, said the D.C. Circuit decision leaves the board "in
limbo…there is a big cloud over the board's ability to decide any cases."
Meisburg, however, noted that the NLRB general counsel's office will still
continue to investigate charges and administrative law judges will still
hear cases. What's less clear, he said, is whether the board will continue
to make the final decision on agency cases.
In a way, it's familiar ground for the NLRB, which from 2007 to 2009 had
only two members out of five. The board's actions were challenged for lack
of a quorum, and in 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court invalided more than 600
NLRB decisions.
NLRB Chairman Mark Gaston Pearce in statement said that the board
"respectfully disagrees with today's decision and believes that the President's
position in the matter will ultimately be upheld." In the meantime, he said
that the board will "continue to perform our statutory duties and issue
decisions."
The decision now leaves the NLRB with just one board member. "In short,
there's no one there to answer the door," said Howard Bernstein, a partner in
Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg's labor & employment group.
At the same time that Obama made the three recess appointments to the
NLRB, he also appointed Richard Cordray as head of the consumer protection
agency. Cordray's appointment was not directly challenged in the suit in the
appeals court, but the D.C. Circuit decision will likely have a profound—if
indirect—impact on the agency.
The recess appointment of Cordray is being contested in a case pending in
Washington's federal trial court. The State National Bank of Big Spring,
represented by O'Melveny & Myers, sued the U.S. Treasury Department and other
agencies, alleging in part the "unconstitutional formation and operation"
of the consumer protection agency. The government's motion to dismiss the
case is pending.
The validity of Cordray's appointment "will be the threshold issue in any
challenge to a final agency action by the CFPB until the Supreme Court
resolves the issue," said Venable partner Jonathan Pompan, a CFPB specialist.
In order for the CFPB to exercise its full powers under the Dodd-Frank
Act, such as supervision of nonbanks, it was required by statute to have a
director in place.
While Cordray, the former attorney general of Ohio, did not arouse the
level of opposition from Republicans in Congress as Elizabeth Warren, the
original architect of the agency, Republicans nonetheless refused to consider
his nomination unless the CFPB was radically restructured. The
administration solved the problem—or so it thought—with a recess
appointment.
"The invalidation of Richard Cordray's recess appointment would cause
incredible disruption inside of the CFPB," said Ronald Rubin, a partner at
Hunton & Williams who previously worked as an enforcement attorney. "Although
the bureau's lawyers did a lot of internal research during 2011 into what
the agency could and could not do without a director, they would have to
revisit those issues and evaluate the implications for most of the work the
CFPB did in 2012."
Just one day before the D.C. Circuit decision, Obama renominated Cordray
to continue as the leader of the consumer protection bureau. Cordray said in
remarks then that "we all thank you and the Congress for the opportunity
and the honor to serve our country in this important way."
A reporter asked Obama during the announcement whether he'd use his recess
appointment power if his nominees are not confirmed. The president did not
answer.
