207 F.3d 910 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Mar 23, 2000

The evidence of each defendant's guilt was clearly sufficient and the alleged trial errors were for the most part--though with an important exception--either nonexistent or clearly harmless. 2 Taking the evidence as favorably … That was much too long to qualify as an immediate sealing, United States v. Williams, 124 F.3d 411, 429-30 (3d Cir. 1997); United States v. Wilkinson, 53 F.3d 757, 759-60 (6th Cir. 1995); United States v.

Purolator Products, Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission

352 F.2d 874 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Oct 22, 1965

Commission evidence was not the same type of evidence Purolator offered and clearly goes to the question of competitive injury. Cf. E. Edelmann & Company v. … This qualifies the former for the 15% discount. As a result, in the case of a sale by WDs with affiliated jobbers to an independent jobber, Purolator goes below the prices of its competitors by 4%.

0sageide, Johnbull v. United States

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Sep 9, 2008

Counsel’s duty to know the applicable law, at least when it matters to his client’s defense, has been clearly established by Strickland and its progeny. … Thus, it was clearly established across the country that either the Vienna Convention created individual rights or courts would proceed as if it did.9 We also believe that an Illinois lawyer, in particular, would have known

United States v. Fleming

United States v. Daniela Tartareanu

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Mar 8, 2018

The govern‐ ment contended that Bank of America’s losses qualified as an “intended loss” under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1, and, therefore, were properly included in the loss calculation. … However, the district court found that Daniela’s participation was just as important, and based on the facts it set forth, we cannot say that finding was clearly erroneous. 

Richard Graff v. City of Chicago, an Illinois Corporation

9 F.3d 1309 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Nov 24, 1993

I concur in the judgment of the majority but write separately to emphasize my belief that the erection and maintenance of newspaper stands qualifies as “conduct commonly associated with expression.” City of Lakewood v. … This is clearly not the sort of review Freedman envisioned.

Gary McKNIGHT, Plaintiff-Appellant, Cross-Appellee, v. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee, Cross-Appellant

973 F.2d 1366 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Sep 11, 1992

The court found no basis to conclude that McKnight is qualified to perform the job he requests or that there is a position available. Id. at 680 . … This case is clearly distinguishable from Williamson v. Handy Button Machine Co., 817 F.2d 1290, 1298 (7th Cir.1987), where the plaintiff only waited until after the judgment was entered to ask for prejudgment interest.

Bankruptcy Estate of Santoasha Harris v. City of Milwaukee

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Jul 24, 2025

Dugan v. Smerwick Sewerage Company

142 F.3d 398 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Apr 16, 1998

Finally, the Funds assert that the evidence was in conflict as to whether Patrick Moriarty remained an owner or qualified as a de facto officer or director of Smerwick and that the court therefore erred in granting summary … Our review of that determination is, as we have noted, one for clear error only, and we discern nothing clearly erroneous in the district court's assessment. 39 Smerwick's demand for sanctions is focused on the use of the

Charles Hess v. Biomet, Inc.

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Jun 25, 2024

Accord- ing to Biomet, the agreement clearly limits long-term commis- sions to the primary category of product that the distributors sold during their tenure: reconstructive devices. … He insists that that phrase creates merely a geographic limitation by referencing the regions established for each respective distributor.

Bonds, Michael v. Milwaukee County

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Mar 28, 2000

We will reverse the district court’s findings of fact only if we are convinced that those findings are clearly erroneous. See Hudson v. Burke, 913 F.2d 427, 431 (7th Cir. 1990). … The policymaking employee exception does not immunize public employer action unconnected to and unmotivated by need for political loyalty. For example, in Marshall v.

Shauntae Robertson v. Glendal French

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Feb 4, 2020

There is no reason to assume that a prisoner of limited fi- nancial literacy understands that assets he has not yet re- ceived qualify as assets he “owns.” … On the basis of this record, we conclude that the district court clearly erred in concluding that Robertson engaged in an intentional misrep- resentation.

Dupuy, Jeff v. Samuels, Bryan

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Sep 9, 2005

Furthermore, our decision in Young clearly was connected closely to our impression that the City deliberately had “waited until the convention was over” in order to moot the case “before a definitive determi- nation of its … preliminary injunction to provide pre-deprivation process to “career entrants,” directing district court to modify injunction accordingly and instructing district court to define more precisely the class of persons who qualify

45 F.3d 1144 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Jan 27, 1995

United States v. Demond Hardimon

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · May 14, 2009

Moreover, the government clearly argued the participation of Ghost, Disco, and Black in the conspiracy throughout the course of the trial.   … Hardimon maintains that the conviction doesn’t qualify as a “prior” conviction because, he contends, insufficient evidence established that he participated in the conspiracy after his conviction in January 2006.

United States v. Montreece Kindle

698 F.3d 401 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Sep 26, 2012

We have previously noted the importance of conversations like these in establishing a substantial step for a showing of attempt.

355 F.3d 1010 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Jan 21, 2004

United States v. Gregory Lee Martin, Sr.

63 F.3d 1422 · Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Aug 14, 1995

Even if Gordon’s conversation with Martin qualified as an interrogation, Martin’s argument fails because he has not proven that he was in custody within the meaning of Miranda . … Martin’s testimony painted a different picture, but the jury clearly did not believe his version.

Great West Casualty Co. v. Nationwide Agribusiness Insurance Co.

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit · Feb 11, 2026

Because the Interchange Agreement does not “clearly, explicitly, and unequivocally express the parties’ in- tention that [Deerpass Trucking] would indemnify [Conserv] against [Conserv’s] own negligence,” it does not qualify … We agree with the district court and Nationwide that the facts of Truck Insurance Exchange are markedly different from the facts here, where there is no comparable lease that inde- pendently establishes the insurers’ priority
