  Sullivan Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sullivan Act is a controversial gun control law in New York City.
The Sullivan Act qualifies as a may issue act, meaning the local police have discretion to issue a concealed carry permit, as opposed to a shall issue act, in which state authorities must give a concealed handgun license to any person who satisfies specific criteria, often a background check and a safety class.
Upon first passage, the Sullivan Act required licenses for New Yorkers to own guns small enough to be concealed.

You note that Sullivan and Cromwell submits invoices directly to the Funds for all of the legal services that it provides to the non-interested trustees and audit committees, and that those invoices are clearly marked to show that they are for services rendered to the Funds’ non-interested trustees and audit committees.

 USCA1 Opinion 00-2551
Sullivan alleges that Raytheon discriminated against him on the basis of disability and age in refusing to reinstate him to his position at Raytheon.
Sullivan also contends that the district court erred in granting summary judgment because Raytheon did not engage in "an interactive process" with Sullivan to determine an appropriate accommodation that would allow him to return to his position as a security guard.
Moreover, the report most favorable to Sullivan's claim of total disability, Dr. Hazel's assessment, evaluated his capacity in the context of his claim for workers' compensation benefits and did not consider whether Sullivan was totally disabled from every occupation for which he was fit by training or experience.

In reply to Sullivan's motion to dismiss, the Cooperative filed the affidavit of John W. Dooley, who served as administrative assistant to the general manager of the Cooperative in 1992 and was instrumental in negotiating the Agreement with Sullivan.
Sullivan and the Cooperative have agreed as to the existing service territories as of the date of the execution of this Agreement and the map which is attached hereto as Appendix 'B' truly and accurately represents said existing service areas.
Thus, Sullivan, a municipal corporation, is expressly excluded from the definition of a public utility, removing it from the purview of the Act.

 The 1779 Sullivan Campaign
Sullivan asked Joseph Reed, the President of Pennsylvania, that a law prohibiting the impressment of wagons be lifted.
Sullivan replied, in compliance to his orders, that the Cayugas had participated in frontier attacks, and while he appreciated their pledge of friendship, it was too late.
Unaware of Sullivan's progress, Washington had repeated the "the necessity of pushing the Indians to the greatest practible distance from their own settlements, and our own settlements, and our own frontiers," to throw "them wholly on the British enemy."57 By the time Washington penned these orders, the army had already completed its mission.

 National Firearms Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Importation of NFA weapons was banned by the 1968 Gun Control Act which implemented a "sporting" clause.
Other doubts have been raised as to the application of the Act to privately constructed firearms or devices that would normally be regulated under the Act's provisions, but are intended for private ownership only and not for sale.
Violations of the National Firearms Act are punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and/or a significant monetary fine ($100,000 and $250,000 have been cited variously, possibly per convicted infraction), as well as forfeiture of all devices or firearms in violation, and the individual's right to own or possess firearms in the future.

US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, a staunch defender of the USA Patriot Act, has stepped up his advocacy of the law, sending information packets praising it to every community in the state and dispatching assistants to Town Meeetings that are debating resolutions condemning it.
The Patriot Act, passed by Congress in October 2001, is a cornerstone of the Bush Administration's policy to combat terrorism by expanding federal powers in search and seizure and detention.
Sullivan said Groton was one of 10 to 20 communities where his assistants attended Town Meeting and fielded questions about the Patriot Act.

 99cv20743 Aronson v McKesson HBOC - 10/8/99 HBO&Co Sec Act Group Omnibus Memo re Lead Pltf Mtns
Sullivan was a high level employee and President of a wholly-owned subsidiary of US Servis Inc., a publicly-held company acquired by HBO during the class period on October 1, 1998.
As such, Sullivan may not even be a member of the class he seeks to represent because many actions exclude employees and affiliates from the class, and at least four of the related actions assert claims on behalf of former US Servis shareholders.
Sullivan was a party to an option agreement filed with the SEC during the class period on October 2, 1998 as part of a Form S-8 Registration Statement, signed by, among others, defendant Charles W. McCall (President and CEO of pre-merger HBO).

Sullivan's use of harmony is notable here: a diminished seventh on A natural follows Ivanhoe's "second to none" on E flat, thereby preparing the way for Ivanhoe to elucidate his statement.
Sullivan was praised by his contemporaries for the way in which he made them living characters, rather than a group of singers.
Sullivan had already attempted to create a archaic atmosphere in The Yeomen of the Guard where he uses, amongst other devices, a tune in the Lydian mode, and alternations between 5/4 and 4/4.

Sullivan's claims that it was forced out of business when its Chicago office was trashed by a small number of angry, out-of-control drivers on the day that layoff notices were received.
The General Counsel argues further that in fact ACF and Sullivan's are, inter alia, a single employer and that, as such, should both be found in violation of the Act for changing the terms and conditions of the drivers' employment without bargaining with their unions.

We also find in unnecessary to rely on the judge's conclusion that Sullivan was known to be the "principal employee" active in the 1983 organizational campaign, but rather we find it sufficient to note that he was known by the Respondent to be one of the most active employees in that campaign.
The Respondent generally contends that Sullivan immediately began to act in a disruptive and insubordinate manner, and his continued behavior in such fashion was the sole cause of his discharge.
Sullivan reaches over and picks up a rod, a little steel rod, which is used, I believe, to turn valves on and off, and he is holding it in front of him." The Respondent argues that this was a threatening act.

 frontline: secrets of an independent counsel: readings: the clock is running out on the independent counsel law
Twenty years later, it comes almost as a shock to recall that the 1978 independent counsel act was intended to take the politics out of politically sensitive prosecutions.
One result of all this political flip-flopping is that the Starr investigation, controversial as it is, may well prove to be the last of its kind after the independent counsel act expires in June 1999.
What's overlooked in the retellings of Watergate, she argues, "is the fact that the system subsequently worked as it should." Public outcry over the "Saturday Night Massacre" in 1973 led to the appointment of a second outside special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, the investigation continued, and eventually Richard Nixon was forced from office.
