Servotronics”) and Rolls-Royce PLC (“
Rolls-Royce”). The arbitration was seated in the United Kingdom and conducted under the rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
8 Rolls-Royce alleged that Servotronics supplied it with defective engine valves which caused significant damage to engines it manufactured and supplied to The Boeing Company (“
Boeing”) for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
Servotronics filed an application in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asking the court to issue a subpoena compelling Boeing to produce documents for use in the London-seated arbitration. After the district court granted Servotronics’s
ex parte application, Rolls-Royce and Boeing moved to quash the subpoenas on the basis that Section 1782 does not authorize a court to provide assistance in private foreign arbitrations. The district court granted Rolls-Royce’s and Boeing’s motion, relying on precedent from the Second and Fifth Circ
Ladies and Gentlemen:
If the fraudulent election of November 3, 2020 isnât corrected and former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris are installed in the White House (I used the word installed because there is ample evidence they were not legally elected), 2020 will be recorded as the year the democratic republic known as the United States of America committed suicide.
If this âelectionâ is permitted to stand, the last legal remedy I have as an American citizen has been denied to me this year and, likely, forever. There is no way the criminal conspiracy that âwonâ the 2020 general election will ever allow the election process to be cleaned up.
On Dec. 16, 2020, the United States Supreme Court granted
certiorari and agreed to review two Ninth Circuit decisions affirming that the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) and several collegiate athletic conferences’ rules regarding compensation paid to college athletes violates Section 1 of the Sherman Act.
NCAA v. Shawne Alston, et al., No. 20-512 (S.Ct. Dec. 16, 2020). With the NCAA set to finalize its rules regarding name, image and likeness rights for student-athletes in January 2021, the upcoming Supreme Court review reinforces the uncertainty for industry stakeholders surrounding potential compensation for student-athletes. The NCAA and collegiate athletic conferences have argued that amateurism remains the defining characteristic of college athletics, but the struggle remains for colleges and universities to maintain a commitment to amateurism while staying on the right side of the antitrust laws, which prohibit coordinated efforts to fix costs.

Gaston County government announced it plans to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed against
The Gazette, and that the county s attorney said he has been tasked with finding an alternative paper of record for the required legal notice advertising the county does with the newspaper.

The Gazette, a move that some experts said might be unconstitutional.
Michael Grygiel, an attorney representing the newspaper, called the plede to dismiss the lawsuit a win for freedom of the press. We are pleased the county apparently recognized the First Amendment imposes a zero-tolerance limit for defamation lawsuits brought by governmental bodies based on news reports critical of their official actions, Grygiel said Friday.

Four years ago, just prior to the November election, I wrote an article titled “Hillary Should Have a ‘Catholic Problem. ” I started by citing numerous articles in the national press that proclaimed Donald Trump was having difficulty winning over Catholics a key voting bloc in any candidate’s run for the presidency. In fact, according to Pew Research Center polls, Trump ended up taking 52 percent of the Catholic vote in 2016 to Hillary Clinton’s 45 percent.
At this writing, we are still awaiting the final steps in the process of confirming the winner of the 2020 presidential election, but some voter data is already available. According to a poll of more than 110,000 voters conducted for the Associated Press, American Catholics were more evenly split this year between support for President Donald Trump (50 percent) and Democratic challenger Joe Biden (49 percent) who, unlike Clinton, is Catholic.
