Re: No loopholes in Dodd-Frank

1) Securities and Exchange Commission/Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Re: Commercial Risk (CFTC RIN

3235-AK65, SEC File Number $7-12-10)

Dear Commissioners Shapiro and Gensler: Don’t let the American Bankers Association (ABA) redefine important terms like

"commercial risk" to keep banks that engage in risky derivatives trading from complying with transparency and business

conduct requirements. Commercial risk should not be expanded to include financial risk. Accepting the ABA argument

would open the door for exemptions for risky hedge funds and insurance companies.

2) Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Re: Position Limits (RIN 3038-AD 17 )

Dear Commissioner Gensler: The CFTC needs to set strong position limits to crack down on the energy and food commodity

speculation that serves no productive purpose. I urge the Commission to define limits that will address not only manipulation,

but also excessive speculation, which will require a stricter approach.

3) U.S. Department of the Treasury, Re: FX Swaps (75 FR 66426 Document Number 2010-27274)

Dear Secretary Geithner: Just say "no" to foreign exchange traders who want to exempt foreign currency derivatives from the

clearing and transparency requirements of the

Dodd-Frank Act. $4 trillion dollars a day is traded in these highly-leveraged swaps and this number may increase to over $10

trillion in a decade. As the head of the Financial

Stability Oversight Board your job is to decrease risk in the system, not encourage off-book trading and opaque markets.

BILLING CODE 7050-01-P
H. Res. 222 

In the House of Representatives, U. S., 

March 9, 2009. 

Whereas the National Assessment Governing Board (the Governing Board) is an independent, bipartisan board created by Congress in 1988 to set policy for the National 

Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), commonly 

known as ‘‘The Nation’s Report Card’’; 

Whereas the Governing Board is made up of 26 members, including Governors, State legislators, local and State 

school officials, educators, researchers, business representatives, and members of the general public; 

Whereas when Congress established the Governing Board to 

oversee The Nation’s Report Card, it ensured that the 

NAEP would be conducted independently and free from 

inappropriate influences and special interests; 

Whereas in overseeing The Nation’s Report Card, the Governing Board identifies subjects to be assessed, determines the content and achievement levels for each assessment, and approves all assessment questions; 

Whereas The Nation’s Report Card is conducted as a representative sample and currently includes National 

NAEP assessments (which assess the performance of students in grades 4, 8, and 12 in reading, mathematics, 

writing, science, U.S. history, geography, and other sub-
2 

•HRES 222 EH 

jects), State-by-State assessments (which are administered to students in grades 4 and 8 to access performance in reading, mathematics, writing, and science), Trial 

Urban District assessments (which report on the achievement of 4th and 8th grade students in 18 urban school 

districts that participate in reading, mathematics, writing 

and science assessments), and long-term trend assessments (which are administered nationally every 4 years 

to students ages 9, 13, and 17 to assess performance in 

reading and mathematics); 

Whereas State participation in NAEP assessments is voluntary with the exception of reading and mathematics assessments, which States are required to administer to 

public school students in grades 4 and 8 every 2 years 

in an effort to measure student performance in reading 

and mathematics; 

Whereas all students who participate in NAEP do so on a 

voluntary basis and NAEP is forbidden by law to maintain or report information on individual students or 

schools; 

Whereas the Governing Board works to inform the public 

about The Nation’s Report Card by communicating its 

results to a wide range of Americans, including educators, the media, and elected officials and policymakers 

at the National, State, and local levels; and 

Whereas the Governing Board has served an important role 

in evaluating the condition and progress of American 

education for 20 years: Now, therefore, be it 

Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
3 

•HRES 222 EH 

(1) congratulates the National Assessment Governing Board on its 20th anniversary in measuring student academic achievement; and 

(2) recognizes past and present members of the National Assessment Governing Board for their service to 

the Nation in improving elementary and secondary education.

(December 1, 2014)

Before MARTIN, Circuit Judge, and EATON,∗ Judge, and HINKLE,

∗∗ District 

Judge. 

 ∗ Honorable Richard K. Eaton, United States Court of International Trade Judge, sitting 

by designation. ∗∗ Honorable Robert L. Hinkle, United States District Judge for the Northern District of 

Florida, sitting by designation

Case: 13-13619 Date Filed: 12/01/2014 Page: 1 of 3 
2

HINKLE, District Judge:

The district court dismissed this proposed class action as moot after the 

defendants served on the named plaintiff a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 

offer of judgment that the defendants say would have provided complete relief to 

the named plaintiff individually. The named plaintiff did not accept the offer.

We have today issued our opinion in Jeffrey Stein, D.D.S., M.S.D., P.A. v. 

Buccaneers Ltd. Partnership, __ F.3d __, No. 13-15417 (11th Cir. ____, 2014). 

There we held that a proposed class action like this one was not rendered moot by 

an unaccepted Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 offer of complete relief to the 

named plaintiffs, but not to class members. There, as here, the defendant served 

the Rule 68 offer before the class was certified and indeed before the named 

plaintiffs moved to certify the class. The decision is squarely on point and requires 

reversal of the district court’s order dismissing this case.

Indeed, this case presents a weaker case for dismissal than Stein. Here, as in 

Stein, the complaint asserts a claim under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. 

See 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(C). Here, as in Stein, the complaint demands $500 for 

each violation, trebled to $1,500 for willfulness. But in Stein, the defendant 

offered a sum certain to each named plaintiff. Here, in contrast, the defendants 

offered the named plaintiff $1,500 for each violation, that is, for each illegal text 

message he allegedly received, without specifying a number. The record does not 

Case: 13-13619 Date Filed: 12/01/2014 Page: 2 of 3 
3

show how many messages the named plaintiff received. So the named plaintiff’s 

individual claim would not have been moot even had he accepted the Rule 68 

offer; there was still work to be done to get the case to the finish line.

The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on other grounds as well. 

The district court did not address those grounds, nor do we. Because the Rule 68 

offer mooted neither the named plaintiff’s individual claim nor the class claims, the 

district court’s order dismissing the case is reversed.

#### Johnson *v.*The State.

Hill, C. J.

1. Where two men suddenly fall out and quarrel, and draw-knives and fight, and one kills the other by stabbing him, the offense is voluntary manslaughter. *Gann*v. *State,*30 *Ga.*67.

2. The theory of involuntary manslaughter in the commission of an unlawful act arises solely from the statement of the accused, and is in conflict with the evidence. The court, therefore, was not bound to give in charge the law of involuntary manslaughter, in the absence of a timely and pertinent written request. *Hardin*v. *State,*107 *Ga.*718, (33 S. E. 700) ; *Richards*v. *State,*114 *Ga.*834 (40 S. E. 1001) ; *Baker*v. *State,*111 *Ga.*141 (36 S. E. 607).

3. While there can be neither murder nor voluntary manslaughter without an intent to kill, yet where the weapon used was a pocket-knife, and *60the defendant stabbed the deceased in the neck with it, an intent to kill may be presumed; and it was harmless error not to charge specifically that the evidence must show an intent to kill, especially in the absence of a timely written request. *Jones*v. State, 29 *Ga.*608; *Lawrence*v. *State,*68 *Ga.*289.

Indictment for murder, from Oglethorpe superior court — Judge Worley. December 12, 1907.

Submitted February 25,

Decided March 16, 1908.

*Sibley & McWhorter,*for plaintiff in error.

*David W. Meadow, solicitor-general,*contra.

4. Error is assigned on the following charge: “If the defendant killed the deceased, and if there was no necessity for the defendant to kill the deceased to save the life of the defendant, and if the circumstances were • not sufficient to excite the fears of a reasonable man that the deceased was intending, by violence or surprise, to take the life of the defendant, and if the killing was unjustifiable and unlawful, then defendant would be guilty of voluntary manslaughter.” This charge contains no prejudicial error to the defendant, who was convicted of voluntary manslaughter.

5. The definition of reasonable doubt, given by the court in the instructions to the jury, was inapt, and probably did not enlighten them as to the meaning of the term. The evidence, however, clearly supporting « the verdict for voluntary manslaughter, the error was immaterial and harmless.

6. No material or reversible error was committed, and the verdict is supported by the evidence. *Judgment affirmed.*
