122274P.pdf  06/10/2013  United States  v.  Shawn Mackey
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:   12-2274
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Bright and Loken, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court did not err in applying
   the criteria set forth in Sell v. United States, 539 U.S. 166 (2003) when it
   granted the government's motion to medicate defendant involuntarily to
   restore his competency to stand trial.

126070P.pdf  06/10/2013  Felicia McIntosh  v.  John LaBarge, Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:   12-6070
   U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Saladino, Author, with Kressel and Shodeen,
   Bankruptcy Judges]
   Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. Order confirming debtor's Chapter 13
   plan over her objection is affirmed; where debtor concedes that one or
   more of her proposed additions to the plan were appropriately rejected,
   the concession is fatal to her appeal as a court must accept or reject a plan
   as a whole; contrary to debtor's assertions, the model plan form used in
   the Eastern District of Missouri does not infringe upon a debtor's
   substantive rights under the Code.
