J. Lawrence finds that the lower court properly granted the insurance company's motion for summary judgment in this declaratory judgment action regarding its duty to indemnify an individual in a separate wrongful death case. The lower court did not err in its determination that the individual was not covered under the company's business owners insurance policy, based on his alleged conduct, which was not related to the business. Affirmed.

J. Rosenbaum finds that the district court properly ruled in favor of the secretary in a race discrimination and employment retaliation action brought by the nurse after she was not chosen for a promotion. The nurse, a Black woman, failed to point to any genuine dispute of material fact as to whether she experienced race or national origin discrimination. Other people were chosen for the position based on their management experience and certifications. The removal of the hiring panel's only Black member for scheduling conflicts also did not disadvantage the nurse. The nurse failed to show that any workplace hostility was causally connected to her Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint. Affirmed.

J. Smith finds that defendant was properly convicted of murder and that his objections regarding the admission of certain evidence are without merit. The disputed testimony about a jail telephone call made by defendant in which he threatened an ex-girlfriend was relevant since it showed his knowledge about what had happened to the victim and also rebutted his theory that a different perpetrator murdered the victim. Affirmed.

J. Stadtmueller grants a union’s motion to enforce a settlement agreement which the parties entered into by email. The plumbing company argues that the terms of the settlement agreement in the email are not what it agreed to, as the email specified a limited release of claims through a specified date, where the company wanted a release of all claims, including those after the date. The instant court finds there was no communication to that effect, and that the parties had agreed upon the limited release via the email which is found to be an enforceable settlement agreement.
