J. Moore finds that the lower court improperly found for the injured plaintiff in a motor vehicle negligence suit after barring admission of impeachment evidence and testimony regarding her medical expert. Plaintiff relied heavily on the expert's testimony during closing arguments, so the failure to allow a full cross-examination of the expert was prejudicial to the defendant's case. Reversed.

J. Rodriguez finds a lower court ruled correctly when it ruled against a consumer who had sued an auto shop for warranty claims. The consumer argued that the auto shop had not adequately repaired her car because she continued to experience car issues even after repairs, but that consumer has provided “no evidence” of how the auto shop’s “conduct” caused her continued car problems. Affirmed.

J. Boulee denies the driver's motion to transfer venue of a negligence action brought by the injured individual to the middle district of Florida. The convenience of witnesses and the location of documents do not support a finding that the action, which arises out of a car collision, should be transferred. The collision at issue also occurred entirely in the northern district of Georgia.

J. Palafox finds a lower court ruled correctly in convicting defendant of evading arrest in a motor vehicle. Defendant argued there wasn’t adequate evidence to prove he “intentionally” fled police and that he had merely wanted to get his vehicle back to his house before surrendering, but regardless, defendant “admitted he did not stop when he knew he was lawfully required to do so.” Affirmed.

McDonough partially grants the defendant insurance company's motion to dismiss the amended complaint in this lawsuit involving an allegedly stolen truck, which was damaged when it was eventually recovered.

J. Hart finds the trial court properly convicted defendant for driving while impaired. Though defendant had an identical case pending in another county, the second offense resolved in court first and was used as a prior conviction sentencing enhancement for the first offense. The Supreme Court of Colorado granted defendant’s petition to show cause, yet the plain language of the relevant statute does not require that conduct underlying a second-offense sentence predate conduct underlying the first offense. The rule to show cause is discharged.
