U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals:  Ohio Cases

 

Coles v. Granville (May 22, 2006) (Appeal from S.D. Ohio)
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/06a0173p-06.pdf
-  Plaintiff landowners appeal the January 25, 2005 order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, which dismissed Plaintiffs' 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(2), 1985(3), and state law claims against Defendant public officials and railroad companies for actions taken relative to Plaintiffs' real property. The district court held that Plaintiffs' action was not ripe in part, barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine in part, and merited Younger abstention in part. For the reasons which follow, we AFFIRM the district court's dismissal of this case.
 

U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals: Other States Cases

 

Hollon v. Social Security (May 22, 2006) (Appeal from E.D. Kentucky)
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/06a0171p-06.pdf
-  Hollon challenges the district court's decision affirming the determination of the Commissioner of Social Security to terminate the payment of child's Supplemental Security Income benefits to Hollon's son, Joseph W. Hollon. Specifically, Hollon advances three contentions on appeal: (i) that the district court erred in declining to compel the Commissioner to consider new evidence of Joseph's medical condition in the course of a remand to reconstruct a lost administrative record; (ii) that the Commissioner's decision to terminate benefits was impermissibly based in part upon an invalid, less-than-knowing waiver of the right to a hearing that Hollon signed before she obtained the assistance of counsel; and (iii) that the Commissioner's underlying benefit determination was not supported by substantial evidence. Judgment AFFIRMED.
 
USA v. Mandycz (May 22, 2006) (Appeal from E.D. Michigan)
-  http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/06a0173p-06.pdf
-  Iwan Mandycz challenges the district court's determination that he "illegally procured" his naturalization as an American citizen by failing to acknowledge his service as a prison guard in two concentration camps during World War II. See 8 U.S.C. § 1451(a).In bringing this challenge, he argues that the denaturalization order is not supported by the evidence, that the trial violated his due process rights, that laches barred the government from bringing this action and that the court erred in admitting certain evidence under the ancient-documents exception to the hearsay rule. Judgment AFFIRMED.
