## United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT

___________ No. 03-3122

___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the Western * District of Arkansas. Rachel Suzanne Anderson, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellant. *

___________ Submitted: February 6, 2004 Filed: March 16, 2004

___________ Before BYE, McMILLIAN, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.

___________ PER CURIAM. Rachel Anderson (Anderson) 1 appeals the sentence the district court 2imposed after she pleaded guilty to making, possessing, and uttering forged and counterfeit securities in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 513(a) and 2, and making false statements on a bank loan application in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1014 and 2. Anderson argues-2- that the district court misapplied the Sentencing Guidelines in calculating her criminal history points and in denying her a reduction for her role in the offenses. We conclude the district court did not clearly err in finding that Anderson was not eligible for a mitigating-role reduction. See United States v. Field , 110 F.3d 587, 590 (8th Cir. 1997). Nor did the court clearly err in calculating Anderson’s criminal history. See U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2, comment. (n.2) (criminal history points are based on sentence pronounced, not length of time actually served), comment. (n.3) (prior sentences are related if they resulted from offenses that occurred on same occasion, were part of single common scheme or plan, or were consolidated for trial or sentencing); United States v. Levi , 229 F.3d 677, 679 (8th Cir. 2000) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. Anderson’s motion to dismiss the appeal is denied as moot.

# 									Exploring U.S. Public Diplomacy’s Domestic Dimensions: Purviews, Publics, and Policies (2022)							

ACPD Special Report

April 25, 2022

The ACPD is a bipartisan panel created by Congress in 1948 to formulate, assess and recommend policies and programs to carry out the Public Diplomacy (PD) functions vested in U.S. government entities, to include the Department of State. This special report examines the use of USG public diplomacy programs and resources to engage domestic audiences.

In October 2021 the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy and the USC Center on Public Diplomacy convened a virtual workshop for 45 public diplomacy practitioners, scholars, policy experts and journalists to explore the role that public diplomacy might play in advancing Americans’ understanding of the domestic impact of U.S. global engagement.

The following report features essays by three thought leaders in public diplomacy that offer practitioner, historical, and social research perspectives on the domestic public diplomacy concept. The report also offers key takeaways about the scope and authorities of public diplomacy’s domestic dimension, the identification of key domestic audiences, stakeholders, and potential partners, and the policy and resource implications of a focus on domestic public diplomacy.

This report is intended to serve as framework for informed inquiries into public diplomacy’s domestic dimension for practitioners, policymakers, and scholars. It is also meant to provide a platform for a sustained and productive dialogue on these issues.

Action brought on 3 August 2005 — ACEA Electrabel Produzione SpA/Commission of the European Communities

(Case T-303/95)

(2005/C 257/28)

Language of the case: Italian

Parties:

Applicant: ACEA Electrabel Produzione SpA (Rome, Italy) [represented by: Luca G. Radicati di Brozolo, Massimo Merola, Chiara Bazoli, Fabrizion D'Alessandri, lawyers]

Defendant: Commission of the European Communities

Form of order sought

The applicant claims that the Court should:

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant in this case is a company controlled by Electrabel SA and ACEA. More precisely, it was one of three operating companies controlled by the hodling company ACEA Electrabel Holding SpA, a joint venture company created by Electrabel and ACEA in order to operate in the field of gas and electric energy.

The action concerns the decision of 16 March 2005 by which the Commission concluded the proceedings brought under Article 88(2) EC for the purpose of examining the compatibility with Community law of the funding granted by the Regione Lazion for the extension of a distance heating system in the district of Torrino-Mezzocammino, near Rome (State aid No C-35/03 — ex NN 90/2002).

The applicant requests the Court of First Instance of the European Communities to declare the decision null in so far as it classifies as State aid measures to fund the construction of a distance heating network in the district of Torrino-Mezzocammino, and in that it suspends the grant of aid until Italy has supplied evidence of repayment by ACEA of the aid declared unlawful and incompatible with Decision 2003/193/EC of 5 June 2002 on tax relief for ex-municipal undertakings (‘the Tax Relief Decision’).

The action is based in particular on the following main grounds:

----

(1)  Judgment in Joined Cases T-244/93 and T-486/93 TWD v Commission [1995] ECR II-2265, upheld by judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-355/95 [1997] ECR I-2549.

* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that

this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except

under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 96-31154

Summary Calendar

LAWRENCE HUTCHIN,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

VERSUS

AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.; BROWN & WILLIAMSON TOBACCO CORP.,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court

For the Western District of Louisiana

(92-CV-1934)

April 18, 1997

Before JONES, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appellant Lawrence Hutchin (“Hutchin”) comes to this court

asking that we ignore a holding by a previous panel and reverse the

district court’s order granting summary judgment to the defendantappellees so that his claim against the appellees for failure to
warn his now deceased mother of the dangers of their loose tobacco

products may proceed. Hutchin brings a failure to warn claim under

the Louisiana Products Liability Act (“LPLA”) and asserts that the

appellees had a duty to warn his mother of the dangers of loose

tobacco. We cannot overrule a panel decision by this court except

as an en banc court, see, e.g., Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore

Servs., Inc., 83 F.3d 118, 119 (5th Cir.), petition for cert.

filed, 65 U.S.L.W. 3432 (U.S. Dec. 16, 1996) (No. 96-568), and

following Allgood v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 80 F.3d 168 (5th

Cir.), cert. denied, 117 S. Ct. 599, 136 L. Ed. 2d 526 (1996), we

affirm. 

Manufacturers may be liable for failure to warn of dangers in

their products under the LPLA, but they have no duty to warn under

the LPLA when “[t]he product is not dangerous to an extent beyond

that which would be contemplated by the ordinary user or handler of

the product, with the ordinary knowledge common to the community as

to the product’s characteristics.” La. Rev. Stat. 9:2800.57(B)(1).

This court has previously held that the health risks of

smoking have long been common knowledge and has affirmed summary

judgment for claims alleging a manufacturer’s duty to warn of the

dangers of smoking. See Allgood, 80 F.3d at 172 (“Like the dangers

of alcohol consumption, the dangers of cigarette smoking have long

been known to the community”); see also Roysdon v. R.J. Reynolds

Tobacco Co., 849 F.2d 230. 236 (6th Cir. 1988). Given such, the

appellees had no duty to warn of the dangers, and we AFFIRM the
district court’s order.
