Meridia Prod v. Abbott Laboratories (May 11, 2006) Appeal from N.D. Ohio
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/06a0158p-06.pdf
-  In this multi-district product liability case, Plaintiffs-Appellants * certain current and past consumers of the diet-drug Meridia, whose actions were transferred to, or originated in, the Northern District of Ohio*appeal the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees, the pharmaceutical company that marketed and distributed Meridia and its affiliates. Plaintiffs argue on appeal that the district court (1) failed to conduct a meaningful choice-of-law analysis, (2) erred in partly excluding the testimony of one of Plaintiffs' experts, and (3) erred in granting summary judgment to Defendants as to Plaintiffs' various common law and statutory claims. Judgment AFFIRMED.

Danner v. Motley (May 11, 2006) Appeal from E.D. Kentucky
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/06a0159p-06.pdf
-  Danner was convicted in November 1996 in Kentucky state court on two counts of first degree sodomy and one count of first degree rape and was sentenced to twenty-four years imprisonment on each count to run concurrently. His conviction was affirmed by the Kentucky Supreme Court. On April 28, 2003, Danner filed a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The district court denied the petition but granted a certificate of appealability on two issues. Danner now appeals. For the following reasons, we AFFIRM the district court's decision to deny the writ of habeas corpus.
