  OSCN Found Document:U.S. v. VERNERS
Verners was resentenced on the remaining convictions and the resentencing was affirmed on appeal.
Verners then filed a § 2255 motion raising several ineffective assistance of counsel claims and a claim that his firearms conviction must be vacated in light of Bailey v.
Verners is reminded that this court's denial of authorization to file a successive habeas petition cannot be subject to a petition for rehearing or a petition for a writ of certiorari.

 OSCN Found Document:U.S. v. VERNERS
After a jury trial, Verners was convicted of possession of cocaine base with intent to distribute, maintaining an establishment for manufacturing drugs, aiding and abetting a co-defendant in the commission of those crimes, and use of a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime.
After he was resentenced, Verners appealed to this court, raising a single issue relating to the propriety of his recalculated sentence and asserting that the district court had erred in refusing to grant relief on his ineffective assistance claims.
Verners has not identified, however, a single case resolving the question of equitable tolling in advance of the actual filing of a § 2255 motion.

 97-5241 -- U.S. v. $43,646.00 (Forty-three Thousand six hundred forty-six) Dollars in U.S. Currency (Verners) -- ...
In October 1993, Verners was tried by a jury and convicted of possession of cocaine base with intent to distribute, maintaining an establishment for manufacturing drugs, aiding and abetting his codefendant in the commission of those crimes, and using a firearm during and in relation to the drug crimes.
Verners complains that the government sent notice of the original 1993 administrative forfeiture to his mother's house, despite the government's knowledge that he was incarcerated in the county jail and represented by counsel.
Accordingly, the burden shifted to Verners to establish a defense to the forfeiture.

 02-5030 -- U.S. v. Verners -- 10/17/2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
At the resentencing, the district court increased Verners' base offense level by two points because Verners possessed a firearm during the commission of the drug offenses.
We have reviewed Verners' § 2255 motion and it is clear that none of the three claims he raised in that motion involve issues related solely to his resentencing which were addressed by this court on direct appeal in Verners III.
We construe Verners' request for a COA and appellate brief as an application for authorization to file a second or successive § 2255 motion.

Verner is gathering the evidence about this unfortunate business, and it is your turn to go in and state what you know, or saw." She staggered back a step or two, and fell against the wall, her face changing to one of livid terror.
Verner inquired, with incredulity equally evident, whether that was sufficient to put her into the state of tremor spoken of by young Broom.
Verner was an easy man in regard to money matters; he was also a man who was particularly sensitive to the feelings of other people, and he had never breathed a word to his wife about the inexpediency of her keeping her sons at home in idleness.

The "almost invariable assumption of the law [is] that jurors follow their instructions," including limiting instructions that evidence may only be considered against another defendant.
In light of the indictment, the case law, and the parties, proposed instructions, evidence tending to show that McVeigh committed the bombing is equally relevant to the case against Nichols.
Nichols acknowledges Tenth Circuit case law rejecting lesser culpability as a basis for severance, but argues that "the Supreme Court has recognized that disparate levels of culpability may nevertheless be an appropriate basis for the district court to exercise its discretion in favor of severance." DE 2004 at 39 (citing Zafiro, 506 U.S. at 539).

 American Civil Liberties Union : Testimony of Drug Policy Litigation Project Director Graham Boyd Before the House ...
If the bill becomes law, property owners may be too afraid to rent or lease their property to groups holding raves, other all?night dance parties, rock or Hip?Hop concerts, or any other event that federal prosecutors do not like.
Moreover, because this law will allow prosecutors to insinuate that selling bottled water, offering air-conditioned "cool off" rooms and having ambulances present is proof that owners are encouraging drug use, the bill may make business owners too afraid to implement the kind of safety measures that will save lives.
This addition fundamentally changes the nature of the law from one meant to target property that was being used primarily for drug offenses to one that makes property owners liable for isolated actions that occur on their property, whether they are there or not.

 US v. Salzano
As for the smell of evergreen noted by Trooper Guerrero, we agree with the government's assertion that a strong odor may give rise to reasonable suspicion on the part of law enforcement officials that the odor is being used to mask the smell of drugs.
At oral argument, the government strenuously reminded this court that in reviewing a law official's justification for suspicion of criminal activity we must review the factors relied upon by the officer both individually and in the aggregate.
Long before the law of probabilities was articulated as such, practical people formulated certain common sense conclusions about human behavior; jurors as factfinders are permitted to do the same--and so are law enforcement officers.

 97-2130 -- U.S. v. Pis -- 05/08/1998
In order to prove that Defendant was guilty of conspiracy, the government was required to show: "(1) [an] agreement with another person to violate the law; (2) knowledge of the essential objectives of the conspiracy; (3) knowing and voluntary involvement; and (4) interdependence among the alleged co-conspirators." United States v.
Finally, Defendant argues that there was insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction for maintaining a place for the distribution and use of controlled substances.
See Verners, 53 F.3d at 297 (the presence of profits, either in cash or merchandise, may establish that a place is being used "for the purpose of" distributing controlled substances).

 Newhouse B1
Using a 1980s federal law aimed at closing down crack houses, the indictment blamed the promoters not for dealing drugs, but for making the State Palace Theatre on Canal Street available for the use of drugs such as ecstasy and LSD during all-night dance parties.
But the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the conviction of a woman in another case in Tulsa, Okla. In 1993, police found large sums of cash, handguns and traces of cocaine in a microwave oven in the woman's home, and arrested her and her son on various drug charges.
But the appeals court found there was not enough evidence to show Guessinia Verners was "maintaining" her house for her son's drug-dealing enterprise and overturned her conviction under the crack house law.

A Robert Verner helped to guarantee the bond for the administration of David's estate, but their relationship is not known.
Janice Palmer stated that the Verners and Pettigrews attended the Cub Creek Presbyterian Church, but she did not give a specific reference for that statement, so it is not clear if that is documented or if that was an assumption.
John Verner, Sr.'s theorized father David was apparently not the eldest son in his family, so he would have probably named his firstborn son after one of his brothers or after his wife's father.

It has been suggested that Grammatischer Wechsel be merged into this article or section.
This change, however, has far reaching implications on the shape and development of the Proto-Germanic language.
It was received with great enthusiasm by the young generation of comparative philologists, the so-called Junggrammatiker, because it was an important argument in favour of the Neogrammarian dogma that the sound laws were without exceptions ("die Ausnahmslosigkeit der Lautgesetze").

Any adjustment to the law needs to make clear that such nexus to drug activity is a prerequisite, that an innocent person with no intent to violate the law cannot be punished—yet this is precisely how the language of the bill now reads.
What the law does not adequately cover according to the proponents of this bill are those situations where someone is not involved in it.

Complicating the lives of business owners is the fact that there is simply no way for them to know what is legal or illegal until a court or jury decides.
The reality is that property owners, promoters, and event coordinators could be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars or face up to twenty years in federal prison if they hold raves or other events on their property - even if they work hard to deter drug use.
If the bill becomes law, property owners may be too afraid to rent or lease their property to groups holding raves, other all-night dance parties, rock or Hip-Hop concerts, or any other event that federal prosecutors do not like.

In 1878 he returned to politics, he led the petition against a new law on education, which would further disadvantage religious schools.
In foreign affairs especially the Second Boer War was of particular interest to him, in the conflict between the Dutch-speaking reformed farmers and the English-speaking anglicans he sided with the Boers, and heavily opposed the English.
His law on higher education, which would make the diplomas of religious secondary education equal to that of public secondary education, was defeated in the Eerste Kamer, consequently Kuyper disbanded the Eerste Kamer and got the legislation accepted.
