121583P.pdf 05/28/2013 David Meyer v. U.S. Bank National Assoc. U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1583 U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Bright, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - diversity. District court's grant of summary judgment to bank is affirmed, as all claims against the bank were released in forbearance agreements and agreements were not void because of any duress caused by alleged forgery. The alleged forgery was immaterial to the claim.121956P.pdf 05/28/2013 Robert Kramer, III v. National Credit Systems U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1956 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Davenport [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Civil Case - Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. After a bench trial, judgment in favor of National Credit Systems on claim it conducted a spam e-mail campaign that harmed Kramer's business is affirmed. District court findings that NCS principals testimony were more credible are not clearly erroneous. Documentary evidence did not contradict testimony. District court did not err in concluding that NCS salesmen were independent contractors, not employees, as sales force was not obliged to follow manual or accept direction from principals and weight of evidence establishes an independent contractor arrangement.122175P.pdf 05/28/2013 United States v. Rodney Goodwin U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-2175 U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Criminal Case - conviction. District court properly denied Rule 29 motion for judgment of acquittal, as sufficient evidence was presented to support jury verdict for attempting transportation of a minor with intent to engage in s activity under 18 USC 2423(a), evidence supported that defendant acted with intent to engage in s activity for which any person could be charged with a criminal offense, and defendant could have been charged under North Dakota law. Although insufficient evidence was presented to support an intent to create pr0n, alternative jury instruction supports conviction. District court did not plainly err in submitting entire statute, even though only part applied to defendant.123152P.pdf 05/28/2013 United States v. Robin Brooks, Jr. U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3152 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken, Circuit Judge, and Phillips, District Judge] Criminal Case - conviction. Need not determine whether cell phone is a container for purposes of automobile exception to warrantless search because subsequent warrant was an independent source for the evidence and independent source requirements were met. District court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence of cell phone photos and video because evidence was intrinsic to charged crimes of bank robbery and firearm possession offenses. Admission of evidence from GPS tracking device was not an abuse of discretion; courts may take judicial notice of the accuracy and reliability to GPS technology, proper foundation was laid, business records exception to hearsay rules applied and confrontation clause did not apply as the GPS reports were non- testimonial. Denial of motion for mistrial based on violation of the sequestration order was not an abuse of discretion. Judgment of acquittal was properly denied, as there was more than sufficient evidence to support bank robbery gun possession convictions.Ninth:USA V. VENANCIO ROJAS-PEDROZAJESUS LEYVA V.
