7th Circuit divided over injunction in defamation case

Jennifer Nelson for www.theindianalawyer.com

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals Friday found an injunction issued in a case involving religious artifacts and defamation claims was entirely too broad and threatened to silence the defendants completely. But the judges were split over whether the district court should be able to modify the injunction.

Kevin McCarthy and Albert Langsenkamp sued Patricia Ann Fuller and Paul Hartman after a falling out between McCarthy, Langsenkamp and Fuller in a business deal. Fuller, who used to be a religious sister, (an issue previously addressed by the 7th Circuit) owned property given to her by another nun regarding Our Lady of America. McCarthy and Langsenkamp helped to spread the word about the Virgin Mary’s appearance in Rome City, Indiana, in the 1950s, and in gratitude, Fuller gave them a statute and other artifacts of Our Lady.

After the falling out, Hartman, a retired postal inspector, came to Fuller’s aid by launching a campaign to smear McCarthy and Langsenkamp’s reputations, including through writing on a blog. The two sides ended up suing each other on numerous claims, including copyright infringement and defamation.

The jury ruled in favor of plaintiffs McCarthy and Langsenkamp, and at issue in Friday’s decision is the defamation ruling and injunction issued by Judge William T. Lawrence. Although the jury was not specific about what it found to be defamatory statements, Lawrence outlined what the defendants could not say, and included in the injunction “as well as any similar statements that contain the same sorts of allegations or inferences, in any manner or forum.”

The permanent injunction ordered Hartman to take down his blog.

The 7th Circuit reversed, finding since the jury wasn’t asked to identify which of the nine possible statements were false and defamatory, it has no findings to support the specificity requirement for a proper injunction; the enjoined statements do not even correspond to the statements the plaintiffs claimed were defamatory; and the injunction is vague and overbroad.

Judges Richard Posner and Ann Claire Williams sent the case back to the Lawrence to decide whether to issue a new injunction, and if he does, to keep in mind the criticisms of the 7th Circuit in Kevin B. McCarthy, et al. and Langsenkamp Family Apostolate, et al. v. Patricia Ann Fuller, et al.,14-3308, 15-1839.

Judge Diane Sykes voted to not even allow Lawrence to have an opportunity to correct the errors. He should simply issue an amended judgment without the flawed injunction.

THE DONALD & VLADIMIR by Jim Redwine

Gavel Gamut

By Jim Redwine

(Week of 21 December 2015)

THE DONALD & VLADIMIR

My first vote for president was for Lyndon Johnson because he promised to keep us out of war in Viet Nam. Four years later Richard Nixon told us he had a secret plan to get us out of Viet Nam. Now there was a man who could keep a secret.

As I understand war, countries use their resources to destroy other countries’ resources such as people, buildings, roads and bridges then, should peace break out, they use their remaining assets to rebuild what was destroyed; not the dead people, of course.

On the other hand, where countries engage in peace, existing people and institutions can be preserved while assets are used to build new structures such as hospitals and schools. Call me sentimental but I prefer peace. And this brings us to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Please let me be clear. I have no wish to endorse either of these men or anyone else. However, I have been impressed with Vlad’s publicly stated position that Syria’s presidency is a Syrian issue and The Donald’s unequivocal opposition to the war in Iraq. My position might well be influenced by our son, Jim, having seen combat in both Iraq wars.

The somewhat tangential meeting of the minds between Don and Vlad on Iraq and Syria may be what has connected Trump and Putin. This moment of good feeling may be reflected in Putin’s statement praising Trump’s business acumen and saying it was not up to Putin, but up to America’s voters, whether Trump should be chosen.

My impression of Putin’s position is most likely colored by my time in Russia when the National Judicial College sent me there to teach Russian judges about America’s jury system. Peg and I saw first hand the devastation caused by World War II. It is still obvious after more than half a century. Even the Kremlin in Red Square needed work. St. Basil’s Cathedral of onion dome fame looked pristine from a distance, but it too suffers from a combination of resources diverted to the war effort and an effete economic system. Putin may be looking to Trump for help.

One of the largest sources of Trump’s fortune is simply his name. He has made millions out of licensing the “Trump” name to be applied to non-Trump buildings all over the world.

Mr. Putin used to be with the KGB when there was a KGB. He is comfortable with such stratagems as using pseudonyms. Perhaps Putin is playing nice with Mr. Trump in order to seek his permission to use the Trump name on some of Russia’s aging assets to increase tourism and get more American dollars spent in Russia. That would be easier than repairing the old buildings and probably cheaper too.

I have tried to envision St. Basils Cathedral or Red Square with a large neon sign flashing an American presidential candidate’s name. It would be better than another Cuban Missile Crises.  If Putin could get The Donald to agree, we might turn the long-time touchy relationship between our countries into a cooperative business venture.

Aces ready for road tilt at Fresno State

0

For the second time this season, the Purple Aces make their way to California as a game on Sunday at Fresno State is on tap.  Game time is 3 p.m. CT.

 

Fans can tune into Sunday’s 3 p.m. CT game on the Mountain West Network, which is a free video service offered through the Mountain West website.  Sunday’s contest is the resumption of the MVC/Mountain West Challenge, which UE also took part in from 2010 through 2012, falling in games against Air Force, TCU and Colorado State.

 

A free throw in the second half marked the 2,000th point in the legendary career of D.J. Balentine; he finished with 26 points in the victory over Norfolk State on his way to the mark.  He became the 4th player in program history, the 16th in the MVC record books and 32nd player among all of the Division I schools in the State of Indiana to do so.  Colt Ryan reached 2,000 in a home overtime win against Drake in 2013 while Marcus Wilson hit the mark in an MVC Tournament win over Bradley in 1999.

 

A career night against Norfolk State saw Jaylon Brown score 17 points, eclipsing his previous high of 15, which came against San Francisco last year.  Through 11 games, Brown has scored 8 or more points on nine occasions; last season, he scored at least 8 points just ten times in 36 games.  His career effort versus the Spartans featured a 7-of-11 shooting performance along with four assists.  For the season, he is averaging 10.0 points per game and tied for 7th in the Valley, shooting 54.3%.

 

Fresno State has gotten off to a strong 8-3 start this season following a home win over Cal State Bakersfield on Wednesday.  The Bulldogs losses, all on the road, have come to Oregon, Cal Poly and Arizona.  As a team, FSU is outrebounding the opposition by an average of 6.2 per game.  Marvelle Harris leads the way, averaging 18.5 points per game while leading the squad with 22 steals and 52 assists.  Torren Jones has recorded 11.3 points while Cezar Guerrero stands at an even 10 PPG.  Harris was the leader in the win over Cal State Bakersfield, scoring 20 points while posting 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

 

Last year, the Aces and Bulldogs met up in the Gulf Coast Showcase in Florida as UE took a 58-52 win.  Mislav Brzoja scored 17 points while D.J. Balentine had 13.

HIGH FLYING OFFENSE

The IceMen have been scoring goals at an incredible rate over the past two weeks. Evansville has scored 25 goals in its last five games, including five or more goals in four straight home games. Each time the IceMen score five or more goals at home, all fans in attendance have five days to present their ticket stub at Lucas Oil Center for a free car wash. Since December 4, Evansville has scored 35 goals in seven games. The IceMen dropped a heartbreaker 6-5 in overtime Wednesday at the Ford Center to the Atlanta Gladiators.

 

WHO’S #1?

With two more goals Wednesday on the man-advantage against Atlanta, the IceMen now have the ECHL’s top-ranked power play. Evansville is converting over 22 percent of its power plays, and has scored on ten of its last 20 opportunities.

 

IN PLAYOFF CONTENTION

The IceMen are one third of the way through the regular season and have pushed their way into the playoff race. Evansville is four points out of the eighth place team in the Western Conference, Idaho. After Wednesday’s game, the IceMen are just three points behind Fort Wayne and two points back of Indy and Tulsa.

 

MORE FUEL

For the fourth and fifth time this season, Evansville hosts its Hoosier State rival, the Indy Fuel Friday and Saturday night. Indy won the first two meetings at the Ford Center 3-1 October 17 and 3-0 November 4, but the IceMen defeated the Fuel 4-2 November 6. After Saturday’s game, the two teams play six more times in Indianapolis the rest of the season. The Fuel have lost ten of their last 11 games, including a 5-1 defeat Wednesday at Toledo. Indy’s last win was a 3-2 overtime victory Friday in Fort Wayne.

 

CHEYENNE’S HOPE FARM SANCTUARY FUNDRAISER

Head Coach Al Sims, his wife Sue, and the Evansville IceMen are proud to support Cheyenne’s Hope Farm Sanctuary and the Hebejebe Bluegrass Standardbred Retirement Organization. Representatives from the two organizations that specialize in animal rescue will be collecting donations and selling Chuck-a-Pucks at Friday’s game. Coach Sims and Cheyenne’s Hope Farm’s ambassador dog, Bishop, will be going on the ice before the game for the ceremonial puck drop.

 

TEDDY BEAR TOSS

Then Saturday is Evansville’s annual Teddy Bear Toss game, where fans are encouraged to bring new or gently used teddy bears in plastic bags to the game. When the IceMen score their first goal, fans will throw the teddy bears onto the ice and the IceMen will donate those to 911 Gives Hope and other local children’s charities.
