Cases

Celia O Gonzalez v. M and T Bank et al

Plaintiff: Attorney for the plaintiffs, Emilio Castillo and Celia Gonzalez. The couple filed a complaint against the defendant, M and T Bank. After several back and forth negotiations, the defendants filed a motion to have the cased dismissed. The plaintiffs opposed this motion. The defendants then filed a motion to have the matter remanded back to the state courts. The motion was approved and the case was remanded to the Los Angeles Superior Court.

McReynolds vs. State of Indiana

Outcome: Ms. Romine argued that babysitters are not privileged to use corporal punishment and it is not a defense to battery. The court affirmed the conviction and accepted Ms. Romine's position which established new law for the state of Indiana. Description: Defendant appealed his conviction arguing that he was entitled to the defense of corporal punishment as a babysitter.

Andre Lavoie vs. State of Indiana
