Employment discrimination — cat’s paw

Where plaintiff could not show a connection between potential racist comments made by nurse preceptors and her negative performance evaluations and denial of fulltime position, district court did not err in granting summary judgment for defendants.
Criminal law — evidence

Where a defendant seeks to rescind a summary suspension of their license, the court may consider any official reports properly filed with the court, regardless of whether defendant references them, subpoenas the officer who wrote them, or stipulates to their content.
Takings — construction permits

Where plaintiffs could not succeed with claim under the Takings Clause based on the theory the village that approved the construction of their houses in a flood zone violated the Constitution by subjecting them to flood waters.
Civil procedure — relation-back doctrine

Where plaintiffs file suit against the executor of an estate, alleging fraudulent or improper modifications of the will, they may not later use the relation-back doctrine to add the law firm who performed these modifications as a defendant when they were already aware of the firm’s role.
Sentencing — ACCA

Where defendant had convictions for three prior armed robberies that occurred over a 40-hour period, district court correctly determined that robberies occurred on separate occasions and could support sentencing under the ACCA.

Where a party is subject to petitions for involuntary admission and involuntary administration of medication, those hearings must be held separately under and intermingling the evidence or testimony of the hearings is a reversible error.
Sentencing — money laundering

Where district court did not err in imposing custodial sentence on first time offender based on desire to avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities.
Criminal procedure — coerced confession

Where a defendant claims his confession was produced under torture and provides evidence that the officers involved had numerous prior accusations of similar behavior, the proper standard is for the court to consider whether the evidence would change the result on retrial.
