		Issues:  Power of referendum in connection with  legislation modifying the 
standards for issuance of concealed weapons  permits; Writ of mandamus; 
Legislation appropriating funds to a  state institution; Const. 1963, art 2, 
o 9
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Published)
		Case  Name: Michigan United Conservation Clubs v. Secretary of State
		e-Journal  Number: 10251
		Judge(s):  O,Connell, McDonald, and Meter
		
		Plaintiffs  were denied a writ of mandamus ordering defendants to reject a 
petition  for referendum on legislation modifying the standards for issuance  
of concealed weapons permits, because the public act at issue was  not an act 
making appropriations to state institutions as contemplated  by Const. 1963, 
art 2, o 9. The court found that the appropriation  of $1 million was 
directed at funding activities specifically associated  with the issuance of 
concealed weapon permits, rather than sustaining  the existence of the 
Department of State Police. Absent any indication  that the $1 million 
appropriation or the fees paid by virtue of  another statute were aimed at 
sustaining the core functions of the  Department of State Police, the court 
concluded that the act at  issue was not one making appropriations to a state 
institution and  was therefore, subject to referendum.

		Issues:  Admissibility of blood alcohol test results where defendants  were 
not under arrest at the time of the tests (MCL 257.625a(6)(e));  Whether the 
tests were for medical treatment purposes; Whether defendant  driver was 
"involved in" the accident for purposes of test; Prosecutorial  misconduct; 
Admissibility of photographs of victim and rescue of  others injured in the 
accident; Denial of directed verdict on second-degree  murder charge; Jury 
instructions; Sentencing
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Published)
		Case  Name: People v. Aldrich
		e-Journal  Number: 10252
		Judge(s):  Kelly and Collins; Concurrence - Whitbeck
		
		Defendants'  blood alcohol test results were admissible, although they were 
not  under arrest at the time their blood alcohol levels were tested,  
because the applicable statute does not mention arrest and provides  for the 
admissibility of blood alcohol test results in any civil  or criminal 
proceeding where the blood upon which the test was run  was drawn "for 
medical treatment" from a driver "involved in" an  accident. By its plain 
terms, subsection (6)(e) concerns tests done  on blood drawn not for legal 
responsibility reasons, but for medical  purposes, and is not limited to 
those under arrest. The testimony  presented at trial indicated that the 
medical procedures performed  on defendants, including the withdrawal of 
their blood, were done  for medical reasons. Although one of the defendants 
claimed that  he was not "involved in" the accident because his vehicle did 
not  come in contact with another vehicle, the defendant was involved  in the 
accident because his vehicle played a part in the accident.  Affirmed.

		Issues:  Ineffective assistance of counsel for failure to object to other  
acts evidence and defendant,s sentence; Other acts evidence; Proportionality  
of sentence of 18 months to 10 years, imprisonment as an habitual  offender, 
third offense for conviction of receiving and concealing  stolen property 
over $100
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Unpublished)
		Case  Name: People v. Ludwick
		e-Journal  Number: 10243
		Judge(s):  Memorandum ) Holbrook, Jr., Hood, and Griffin
		
		Review of the  record revealed that defense counsel did fail to object to 
testimony  regarding defendant,s prior record, but also elicited testimony  
in accordance with his theory of the case. Witness-Smith testified  that he 
saw defendant with the stolen ladder on top of a vehicle  and the stolen 
tools were in the trunk of the vehicle. Defense counsel  elicited testimony 
that defendant was involved with Smith,s former  girlfriend. Defense counsel 
also established that the tools were  taken from a locked truck, that the 
truck was not vandalized in  the process so that it appeared access was 
gained through a key,  and that Smith had a key to the truck as an employee. 
Defense counsel  attempted to discredit Smith,s testimony by showing that he 
had  a motive for wanting defendant returned to prison. Defendant,s 
conviction  and sentence were affirmed.

		Issues:  Sufficiency of evidence to support defendants, convictions for 
conspiracy  and possession with the intent to distribute cocaine; Motions 
for  a judgment of acquittal; Admission of co-conspirator,s testimony  under 
Fed. R. Evid. 801(d)(2)(E); Admission of computer records;  Speedy Trial Act; 
Admission of evidence of key fitting lock in defendant's  door; Sentencing
		Court:  U.S. Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit
		Case  Name: United States v. Salgado
		e-Journal  Number: 10250
		Judge(s):  Graham and Batchelder; Concurrence ) Cole 
		
		There was sufficient  evidence to support defendants, convictions for 
conspiracy and possession  with the intent to distribute cocaine. A rational 
trier of fact  could find from the evidence presented at trial that an 
agreement  to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine existed and that  
defendants and codefendants knowingly participated in that conspiracy.  The 
jury could infer that defendant-Salgado knew he was delivering  cocaine based 
on his evasive statements to the police concerning  who gave him the car and 
the make of the car, and from the fact  that he met first with one of the 
codefendants despite his statement  that he came to Louisville to visit his 
cousin. Salgado was also  present at the codefendant,s residence at the 
scheduled time of  the sale of cocaine. The jury could reasonably find from 
the circumstances  that defendant-Jambu brought the cocaine to the residence. 
Jambu,  left his apartment, drove to one of the codefendant,s homes, opened  
the trunk of his car, looked to his left and to his right, and appeared  to 
carry something into the house, brought a package into the kitchen,  and 
stated, "I brought the shit," referring to the cocaine. Affirmed.

		Issues:  Denial of application for a special land use permit; Plaintiff,s  
failure to act within 60 days of receipt of defendant,s preliminary  plan of 
development; Mobile Home Commission Act (MHCA); The Township  Zoning Act
		Court:  Michigan Court of Appeals (Published)
		Case  Name: Silver Creek Twp. v. Corso
		e-Journal  Number: 10253
		Judge(s):  Per Curiam - Wilder, Hood, and Cavanagh
		
		The trial court  erred in granting summary disposition in favor of defendant 
and  holding that plaintiff-township was required to respond to defendant,s  
preliminary plan of development in accordance with the MHCA because  (1) 
zoning laws regulate the development and proper use of land,  not the MHCA, 
(2) the decision of the township,s zoning board or  zoning board of appeals 
regarding a zoning request was final, and  (3) the MHCA provides that it 
shall not be construed to prohibit  a municipality from enforcing its local 
ordinances. Plaintiff,s  zoning board had previously denied defendant,s 
application for a  special land use permit regarding the subject property for 
the purpose  of developing a mobile home park. Defendant submitted a 
preliminary  plan of his proposed mobile home park in an apparent attempt to  
circumvent the application of the zoning ordinance and effect of  the zoning 
board,s denial of his request for a special land use  permit. Reversed and 
remanded.

		WANT A SECOND  OPINION ON A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASE? The  law offices of 
Anthony M. Malizia, P.C., is a statewide firm that  handles only medical 
malpractice cases. I am Martindale-Hubbell  "AV-rated." I sit as a 
plaintiff's medical malpractice  mediator. I have 20 years experience in the 
review and development  of these cases, many trials to jury verdict, and many 
more settlements.  Over the years, upwards of 20% of my case inventory has 
consisted  of meritorious cases initially rejected by others, including 
"name  firms." Oftentimes these cases were subjected to incomplete  analysis 
because of the firm's lack of in-depth, medico-legal background.  Sometimes 
medical sleuthing or a new perspective was required. Send  me your rejected 
case for a "de novo" review. We also  welcome the referral of "new" cases.
