OPINION ROSS, Judge. This appeal requires us to decide whether Hennepin County was the proper venue for the state to prosecute Douglas Pierce for violating an order for protection by sending a message electronically to his former girlfriend. The state charged Pierce in Hennepin County with violating the Domestic Abuse Act, Minn.Stat. § 518B (2008), and the district court found him guilty after a bench tri

PIERCE, Justice, for the Court: ¶ 1. On April 18, 2006, Lester Butler filed a personal-injury action in the Copiah County Circuit Court against David Holmes and John Does 1-5. Later, Butler moved to amend his complaint to substitute a trucking company, D.P. Holmes Trucking, LLC, for Holmes or, in the alternative, to be allowed to file an amended complaint to add Holmes Trucking as a defendant. Both the circuit

Vast Voorhis, J. (dissenting). The personal service without the State of a summons and complaint in an action to revive a judgment (scire facias), is being vacated upon the ground that the Civil Practice Act contains no authorization for such service. Admittedly, jurisdiction was obtained over defendant in New York State in the original action. Our courts had jurisdiction over his person in rendering the judgment upon wh

Malpass, J. This is a motion brought on by an order to show cause for an order vacating an order granted January 19, 1951, directing the filing of an appeal bond by the defendant, Pierce Butler Badiator Corporation in the sum of $5,000 and permitting the cancellation of said bond, also vacating that part of said order of January 19, 1951, which stayed the issuance of an execution on a judgment held by the Pierce Butler Badiator

Memorandum: The judgment should be modified by reducing the award of $11,075.75 made by the Official Referee to the sum of $5,228.89. The evidence clearly establishes that on all sales of boilers made outside of plaintiff’s territory for installation therein, plaintiff’s commission was limited to 70% of the discount of 20% allowed by defendant to its agents. We feel that the Referee erred in allowing commissions in excess of 70% on such sales. The over-allow

Ireland, J. (concurring) — The majority correctly holds that the taking of physical evidence pursuant to a warrant for a criminal homicide investigation is an exercise of the police power “to conserve the safety, morals, health and general welfare of the public.” Conger v. Pierce County, 116 Wash. 27, 36, 198 P. 377 (1921). However, I also agree with Justice Alexander that the reasoning of the Texas

McGRANERY, District Judge. This case arises on a motion to dismiss the complaint, a motion that should not be granted “ * * * [unless] it appears to a certainty that the plaintiff would not be entitled to relief under any state of facts which could be proved in support of the claim.” See Continental Collieries v. Shober, 3 Cir., 1942, 130 F.2d 631, 635. An examination of the record at this point convinces me that this standa

N. PATRICK CROOKS, J. ¶ 1. Petitioner Bonnie Pierce (Pierce) seeks review of an unpublished per curiam decision of the court of appeals, which affirmed the circuit court's grant of summary judgment. This case presents the narrow issue of whether a mother who suffers the stillbirth of her infant as a result of medical malpractice has a personal injury claim involving negligent infliction of emotional distress, which includes the d
