  United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acheson was appointed as a circuit judge for the Third Circuit in 1891 by Benjamin Harrison.
Aside from their duties on the Commerce Court, the judges of the Commerce Court also acted as at-large appellate judges, able to be assigned by the Chief Justice of the United States to whichever circuit most needed help.
Unlike the Chief Justice of the United States, a Chief Judge returns to active service after the expiration of his or her term and does not create a vacancy on the bench by the fact of his or her promotion.

 UNITED ARTISTS THEATRE CIRCUIT, INC
United Artists claims that its failure to construct the road improvement was a mere pretext for the Township's refusal to support its theater proposal and that this refusal was actually motivated by the Township's desire to obtain an impact fee from Goodman and Regency Cinema.
United Artists claims that this statement "constitutes a conclusive determination that may not be disturbed under the law of the case doctrine." Br.
In the prior appeal, this Court expressly affirmed the District Court's qualified immunity analysis of the supervisors as a whole, and found the only error to be the District Court's failure to apply that same analysis to the supervisors individually.

 Third Circuit Opinion in ACLU v. Reno II
As a result, the Court held that the CDA was not tailored so narrowly as to achieve the government's compelling interest in protecting minors, and that it lacked the precision that the First Amendment requires when a statute regulates the content of speech.
District Court's Conclusions of Law Initially, the government moved the District Court to dismiss the ACLU's action insofar as the individuals and entities that it purported to represent were not in danger of prosecution under COPA and therefore lacked standing.
Although much attention at the District Court level was focused on the availability, virtues and effectiveness of voluntary blocking or filtering software that can enable parents to limit the harmful material to which their children may otherwise be exposed, the parental hand should not be looked to as a substitute for a congressional mandate.

On September 9, 2002, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, affirming the district court, held that a proposed class action alleging a price-fixing conspiracy among major United States airlines must be dismissed under the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act ("FTAIA"), 15 U.S.C. § 6a.
The district court agreed and dismissed the complaint.
The court held that because the airlines were involved in "trade or commerce" with foreign nations rather than "import trade or commerce," plaintiffs' complaint could not survive under the FTAIA unless the challenged conduct had a "direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable" anticompetitive effect in the United States.

The court found that the ADA enforcement provision, 42 U.S.C. 12188, incorporates not only the remedies and procedures of subsection 204(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to which it specifically refers, but also subsection 204(c) of the 1964 Act, which the court found requires exhaustion of available state and local administrative remedies.
Because subsection 204(c) of the 1964 Act gives the district court in which an action is filed pursuant to 204(a) the authority to "stay proceedings in such civil action pending the termination of State or local enforcement proceedings," 42 U.S.C. 2000a-3(c), the district court's decision could cause a substantial delay.
The Court stated that its decision was "a fairly routine application of the traditional rule of statutory construction pithily captured in the Latin maxim expressio unius est exclusio alterius." Ibid.

 WRF | Mass Media Update | United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Issues Media Ownership Decision
However, the Third Circuit has noted that after necessary recusals, too few judges are available to permit rehearing en banc, and that any request for rehearing will be addressed by the same panel that decided the case.
While the case was pending before the appeals court, however, Congress effectively superseded the FCC’s determination with a directive to set the cap at 39 percent.
The court concluded that the FCC was justified in determining a blanket ban on newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership was no longer in the public interest.

JURISDICTION The judgment of the court of appeals was entered on September 24, 1996.

Since that fact-bound assertion was not raised by petitioner at either the district court or the court of appeals, level, it should not be considered by this Court.

The Court rejected the plaintiffs' characterization of the Policy as a "hate speech code," holding instead that it merely prohibits harassment that is already unlawful under state and federal law.
The U.S. Supreme Court held that the state court's narrowing construction failed to solve the law's vagueness problems and that, in light of the existing authoritative interpretation, the federal courts were without power to further limit the statute.

 Gibbons, Del Deo, Dolan, Griffinger & Vecchione   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
CLI appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, arguing, among other things, that plaintiff failed to prove that she was "disabled" within the meaning of the ADA and that, even if she had, the ADA capped all of her compensatory and punitive damages at $300,000.
In this regard, the court explained that plaintiff had provided, among other things, expert and lay witness testimony that her MS produced her fatigue which significantly limited her ability to concentrate and remember and that her supervisor recognized these problems she was experiencing.
Ultimately, the Third Circuit's ruling in Gagliardo virtually eliminates that aspect of Section 1981a that sought to reasonably limit the size of jury awards in federal employment discrimination cases whenever a substantially similar claim can be successfully maintained under state law.

The undersigned organizations, representing countless Americans in the Third Circuit and across the country, are extremely dismayed that a hearing has been scheduled for next week on the nomination of Pennsylvania Attorney General Michael Fisher to fill a vacancy on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
Fisher's presence on the Third Circuit bench while his case is being heard would create, at the very least, perceived conflicts of interest and a significant appearance of impropriety.
For these reasons, we strongly urge the Committee to postpone consideration of Michael Fisher's nomination to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit until the verdict against him has been fully resolved and the matter can be properly considered by the Committee.

 WRF | U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Issues Media Ownership Decision
In doing so, the Third Circuit extended the stay on implementation of the new media ownership rules the Court had imposed last fall.
The Court found that the FCC’s derivation of new Cross-Media Limits, and its modification of the numerical limits on both television and radio station ownership in local markets, all have the same essential flaw: an unjustified assumption that media outlets of the same type make an equal contribution to diversity and competition.
Cross-Media Limits: The Court concluded that the FCC was justified in determining a blanket ban on newspaper/broadcast cross-ownership was no longer in the public interest.

The district court instructed the jury on the issues of express warranty and implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
As other courts have recognized,38 this type of language provides no real indication that the party is willing to forego the transaction if the additional language is not included in the contract.
Questions remained, however, as to whether the use of state contract law to avoid the first sale doctrine would be preempted either by the federal copyright statute (statutory preemption) or by the exclusive constitutional grant of authority over copyright issues to the federal government (constitutional preemption).
