R & G Mortgage Corp. v. Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
green
1 sentence2022Corp., 584 F.3d at 7 , we also consider the second and third factors, which ask about prejudice to either party. | 1 | 2022–2022 |
Commonwealth v. Gibson
green
1 sentence2019In regard to the second and third factors, as we observed in Gibson , supra at 838, 978 N.E.2d 1226 , "the error ... is constitutional in nature, and is one that our courts have deemed prejudicial." We therefore consider the error to be a serious one. | 1 | 2019–2019 |
Matter of Registrant GB
green
1 sentence2006Concerning the second and third factors, the plaintiff argues that the board should utilize a methodology such as that adopted in New Jersey 12 and indicates that courts in that jurisdiction have held that statistically based presumptions pertaining to classification levels provide a guide “to follow in conjunction with other relevant and rehable evidence in reaching an ultimate determination of the risk of reoffense posed by the registrant and the appropriate notification due the community.” Matter of Registrant G.B., 147 N.J. 62 , 81 (1996). | 1 | 2006–2006 |
Olmstead v. Murphy
green
1 sentence1986There is no merit to Thomas’s contention that “[c]ounsei was not required in her behalf . . . [with respect to] the contempt proceeding.” In Olmstead v. Murphy, supra at 666 , and again in Kennedy v. Kennedy, supra at 182, we pointed out that the amount of the recovery is not a reliable guide in the determination of reasonable fees in cases such as these. | 1 | 1986–1986 |
