Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Video Privacy Law's Application in Internet Age

Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Video Privacy Law's Application in Internet Age

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the case of Salazar v. Paramount Global, which questions the applicability of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) in the modern internet era. The lawsuit was initiated by Michael Salazar, who alleges that Paramount, through its website 247Sports.com, disclosed his video-viewing history to Facebook without his consent. Salazar, a subscriber to 247Sports.com's email newsletter, watched videos on the site while logged into his Facebook account. Paramount, using a 'Pixel' code, then shared information about his watched videos with Facebook. Salazar is seeking $2,500 in damages, the maximum allowed under the VPPA, for himself and other potential class members, along with punitive damages and attorney's fees. A federal district court and a divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit previously ruled against Salazar, interpreting the term 'consumer' in the VPPA to be limited to subscribers of audio-visual content, which they determined Salazar's n...

California Prison Officials Claim Tory Lanez Assumed Risk in $100 Million Stabbing Lawsuit

California Prison Officials Claim Tory Lanez Assumed Risk in $100 Million Stabbing Lawsuit

California prison officials are arguing that rapper Tory Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, accepted the risks associated with his housing classification and assignment, thereby contributing to the jail stabbing he suffered in May of last year. This defense was presented in an October 7 court filing by the California attorney general’s office on behalf of T. Valdez, the acting warden at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, who is a defendant in Lanez's $100 million lawsuit. The filing claims Lanez "consented to his prison housing classification and assignment and assumed any risk alleged to be associated with that housing." However, the court document does not specify what Lanez agreed to, when he agreed to it, or the details of the housing arrangement. Lanez is currently serving a ten-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion and was moved to California Men’s Colony after the stabbing incident.

Sober Living Homes Face Zoning Restrictions on Unrelated Persons Rule

Sober Living Homes Face Zoning Restrictions on Unrelated Persons Rule

Sober living homes in the U.S. frequently encounter zoning regulations that limit the number of unrelated individuals who can reside together in a single-family dwelling. These 'unrelated persons rules' are often embedded in local zoning codes' definitions of 'family,' capping the number of non-relatives by blood, marriage, or adoption who can live as one household. While federal fair housing laws do not automatically void these rules, they do prevent cities from applying them in a discriminatory manner against individuals in recovery from substance use disorder, who are protected under the Fair Housing Act. Operators of sober living homes can seek 'reasonable accommodation' to exceed these caps, arguing that a larger peer group is necessary for recovery and to cover operational costs. The Supreme Court case City of Edmonds v. Oxford House (1995) clarified that family-composition rules are not maximum occupancy restrictions, making them subject to fair housing review.

Tenth Circuit Orders New Asylum Hearing Due to Judge's Failure to Advise on Right to Counsel

Tenth Circuit Orders New Asylum Hearing Due to Judge's Failure to Advise on Right to Counsel

A federal appeals court has overturned an asylum denial for a Peruvian mother, Rosa Torres-Roldan, and her son, citing the immigration judge's failure to individually ask her if she desired legal representation. The Tenth Circuit panel, in the unpublished order *Torres-Roldan v. Blanche*, determined that a general warning about the right to counsel given to a group of families did not meet the requirements of 8 C.F.R. § 1240.10(a). This regulation mandates that an immigration judge must inform a respondent of their right to counsel at no expense to the government and explicitly ask if they desire representation. The Board of Immigration Appeals had previously interpreted this to mean a specific, knowing, and voluntary answer from the individual. Despite the judge finding the testimony credible, asylum was denied on the grounds that the family had not demonstrated past persecution, a well-founded fear of future persecution, or the Peruvian authorities' inability to protect them. The Tenth Circuit found that...

Supreme Court Cases Define Limits of Federal Postal Authority and State Regulation

Supreme Court Cases Define Limits of Federal Postal Authority and State Regulation

The U.S. Constitution's Postal Clause, Article I, Section 8, Clause 7, grants Congress the power 'To establish Post Offices and post Roads.' While seemingly brief, this clause has been the subject of significant Supreme Court interpretations, balancing federal authority over the postal system with legitimate state powers and individual constitutional rights. Historically, the clause's interpretation evolved from questions about Congress's ability to create and maintain roads for mail transport to more complex issues involving state regulation of mail-carrying trains and federal control over mail content. Key cases like Illinois Central Railroad v. Illinois (1896) and Gladson v. Minnesota (1897) established that states cannot unduly interfere with the speedy and efficient transportation of mail, but reasonable state regulations that do not substantially impede federal postal operations are permissible. The Court distinguished between regulations that merely affect a train's operation and those that create s...
