Evaluating the Sincerity of an Inmate’s Religious Beliefs
Inmates do not forfeit the right to practice their religious faith while they are incarcerated. But of course that right is not unlimited. Officers can impose certain restrictions when an inmate’s religious practices would conflict with the institution’s legitimate interests in safety, security, and good order. There is a lot of case law about those restrictions, both as a constitutional matter under the First Amendment, and under a federal statute, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc-1(a)(1)–(2)—which is even more protective of inmates’ rights than the Constitution. Two important threshold questions often arise when evaluating a situation involving an inmate’s request for a religious accommodation. First, what is a religion within the meaning of these laws? And second, how sincere must an inmate be in his or her beliefs for them to justify legal protection? Many officers may have…

Breaking Down Telia: One of the Largest FCPA Settlement and the First of the Trump Administration
The recent settlement by Telia Company AB (“Telia”), the first of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) under the Trump administration and one of the largest FCPA enforcement actions to date, has been touted by some as a sign that enforcement will remain tough. In this area of the law with scant case law or other guidance for companies looking to evaluate their own conduct and compliance programs, do these charting and resolution documents offer anything new? Telia obtained the maximum downward departure from the US Sentencing Guidelines and avoided the imposition of an independent monitor – what can be gleaned from the facts of the resolution as to how? THE ALLEGATIONS On September 21, 2017, Telia, a Swedish telecommunications company, entered into a $965 million joint settlement with U.S., Dutch, and Swedish authorities. The settlement revolved around allegations that Telia bribed a foreign official (widely reported to be Gulnara Karimova, the…

Not Ready for Trial? Ontario Court Says Too Bad….
An Ontario judge has spoken out clearly about counsel who book trials and then abandon them on short notice to the courts. In Armstrong v. Armstrong, 2017 ONSC 6568, Mr. Justice Pazaratz called the case, involving a reduction or termination of spousal support, only to learn that the litigants in the case were not available, and an adjournment was sought by both counsel. Counsel had earlier agreed and the court permitted them to adjourn the trial, then set for August 2017. At that hearing, counsel had agreed the trial would proceed in October 2017 for three days. Counsel advised the court that an error had occurred and their clients incorrectly believed the rescheduled trial would take place in January 2018. Counsel also stated that a settlement conference had not been booked which might assist the parties to settle. As well, one of the lawyers indicated he had a doctor’s appointment that afternoon. Judge Pazaratz queried counsel as to why a trial was booked if…

New York man found guilty in $200 million credit card fraud scheme
A New York man was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in an elaborate $200 million credit card fraud scheme. He was charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Raghbir Singh, 61, was charged in February 2013 in a scheme that procured thousands of credit cards by creating over 7,000 fake identities. Singh was fined $1,000 and sentenced to three years of supervised release during his sentencing in Newark federal court. According to court documents, Singh and other defendants used a three-step process in which they would fabricate false documents, falsify credit profiles and, finally, run up hefty loans. They created a vast network of over 1,800 drop addresses nationwide. Apartments, houses and post office boxes were used as the fake identities’ mailing addresses. The conspiracy caused financial institutions and businesses to suffer losses in excess of $200 million, according to authorities. Singh pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud.…

Psychic Accused of Bogus Business after Prior Fraud Conviction
A woman working as a psychic out of a business in Mount Vernon, Washington, has been charged with defrauding clients after she was convicted for the same offense nearly ten years ago in Florida. 69-year-old Linda Marks, a woman claiming she is a psychic, stood trial in 2006 in Florida for scamming mostly ill and vulnerable clients for more than $2 million over a period of eight years by offering supernatural solutions to their dilemmas. Just before she was given a four year sentence she made a statement to the court apologizing for her actions. Marks explained that she learned to steal as a result of growing up in a gypsy community, and a family member trained her in fortunetelling. “This is our heritage. This is the way we are taught to survive,” she said. Marks has now moved her business to Mount Vernon, Washington. A woman recently sought the help of Marks for romantic, physical and family problems which were causing her to suffer from depression. Marks allegedly…

The Difference Between Municipal Ordinance Violations and Disorderly Persons Offenses
Commonalities and contrasts between different laws and violations in the Garden State can be confusing. Luckily, the experts at the Law Offices of Anthony Carbone are here to help you understand the laws of New Jersey a little better. We are going to discuss the differences between municipal ordinance violations and disorderly persons offenses. Before we dive into the contrasts, let define these terms. Municipal Ordinance Violations A municipal ordinance violation is the lowest degree of quasi criminal offense that exists. This type of violation can range anywhere from urinating in a public setting, drinking alcohol in public, having an open alcoholic beverage container, or something as simple as disorderly conduct. While crime penalties are always frowned upon, the penalties for a municipal ordinance violation aren’t the end of the world. Usually, the penalties are mostly fines with no jail time whatsoever. The maximum fine can be $2,000, but the average fine ranges from…

US v. Hernandez-Quintania, No. 16-50171 (Freudenthal w/Fletcher & Ikuta). This is an appeal from a 1326 illegal reentry conviction. Two interesting issues: (1) when does permission to reenter need to take place; and (2) Batson.The defendant was removed from the United States in 2015. In 2016, law enforcement found him lying down in an intersection. A 1326 charge, and a SR violation (from 2014), followed. At trial, the government presented evidence that permission was not given since the 2015 removal. However, an agent made reference to an application for admission in 2004. On appeal, the argument was that the application could have been granted or was still pending or there was insufficient evidence to convict. The 9th rejected the argument. The 9th examined the statute, and the plain text, and held that: "In examining the language of the statute, we conclude that the Attorney General's consent to reapply must come after…

WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU DRIVE?
A couple of things are on our busy mind: First: And with apologies to everyone's favourite federal blogger for entering his milieu, why does FDC need to know the license plate of our car and the make and model when we fill out that form to see a client at FDC? Sometimes we take Uber. Sometimes we park on a lot on Flagler, do some business with our civil brethren, and then walk a few blocks over. How far away does our car need to be before that information is not important enough for the feds to require it on the form to enter the facility? We are old enough to remember when most federal clients were held at the facility by Metro-zoo and you had to drive and park in the lot. But with a facility downtown served by Uber and Metro-rail (btw- the former Chief Judge, Federico Moreno, has been a proponent of taking Metro-rail to court ever since its inception), why do they still require this information? Second: We can email the facility to see our…
