		A creditor appealed from three bankruptcy court orders enjoining the creditor from commencing or continuing any action contingent upon the interpretation of lease provisions that were at issue in the administration of the debtors' estate, denying the creditor's request for an administrative claim against the estate, and striking parol evidence from the record.
		The bankruptcy court orders enjoined Luan from commencing or continuing any action contingent upon the interpretation of lease provisions that were at issue in the administration of the debtors' estate, denied Luan's request for an administrative claim against the estate, and struck from the record documents referencing extrinsic evidence the bankruptcy court found inadmissible.
		Thus the bankruptcy court ousted the Puerto Rico Superior Court from deciding under Puerto Rico law the terms of a Puerto Rico lease with a Puerto Rico tenant, where the only connection to the bankrupt estate was that the tenant assumed the lease under the terms of the plan of confirmation.

		The district court found that his claims were time barred and lacked sufficient evidence.
		The district court dismissed the case, adopting the magistrate judge's report and recommendation, which found that summary judgment should be granted in favor of Defendants because Ruiz's claims were barred by the applicable statute of limitations and because Ruiz lacked trial-worthy evidence.

		14 Immigrants' advocates report that discretion at the local INS district level has resulted in inconsistent and arbitrary decisions about who is released from detention, and claim that decisions are often more influenced by where a person was originally detained than by the strength of his or her asylum claim.
		The INS District Director for Detroit, who makes decisions about who is paroled in her district, explained the decision to detain the woman by saying, "Here, if we have the space, we'll hold you to complete the entire process."16
		Some INS districts, such as New Orleans, claim to monitor and inspect jails on a regular basis, but whether or not inspection of local jails takes place is a local district decision, carried out without guidance from INS headquarters.

	Puerto Rico seeks to muscle its way into the Electoral College
		On 19 July, Jaime Pieras, Jr.- Senior District Judge- denied a U.S. Justice Department motion to quash the lawsuit on grounds that the plaintiffs had no standing to bring the suit, thus- in the name of the District Court- accepting jurisdiction over the case.
		The case was then appealed by the Justice Department to the Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit, which meets in Boston and which is widely expected to overturn the District Court ruling.
		The issue- and, with it, the decision on the case- hinged on the Supreme Court (ultimately, as the case was appealed from a decision against Luther in a lower court) declaring just which state government of Rhode Island was the legal one at the time.

		The treatment that women detainees have received in the Miami INS District is perhaps unrivaled in the seriousness of the abuses reported.
		The INS also used the relatively few number of women detained in the Kern County Lerdo Detention Center as a justification to decline bussing the women to meet with their attorneys in San Francisco, a service it offered to male detainees in the same facility when vans were travelling to the city for other reasons.
		Disturbingly, the INS New York and Newark Districts, which host two of the largest detention centers, and which are dedicated almost exclusively to holding asylum seekers, are among the most restrictive in terms of their parole of asylum seekers.

	washingtonpost.com: For Puerto Rico, an Election of Ifs

		Another argument being made is that the presidential vote law, which assigns $900,000 to the commonwealth State Elections Commission to cover expenses of the presidential vote, represents a use of public funds for partisan political purposes, which is also forbidden by the Commonwealth Constitution.
