user: Read the case excerpt and choose the best holding from the options. Case excerpt: nothing about an agency’s own conduct. In this case-and presumably in the typical case in which one private citizen is seeking information about another-the requester does not intend to discover anything about the conduct of the agency that has possession of the requested records. Indeed, response to this request would not shed any light on the conduct of any Government agency or official. Reporters Comm., 489 U.S. at 773, 109 S.Ct. 1468. “Information that reveals ‘little or nothing about an agency’s own conduct’ does not further the statutory purpose; thus the public has no cognizable interest in the release of such information.” Beck v. Dep’t of Justice, 997 F.2d 1489, 1493 (D.C. Cir. 1993) (quoting Reporters Comm., 489 U.S. at 773, 109 S.Ct. 1468); see also Davis, 968 F.2d at 1282 (<HOLDING>).

user: Read the case excerpt and choose the best holding from the options. Case excerpt: We recognize that prior to Smoot, which was decided after the trial of this case, the circuit courts and the litigants had no Virginia case precedents on this point. Nevertheless, the evidence in this case fails to establish that the husband considered his interest in the partnership to be composed of discrete, segregated shares. To the contrary, the evidence suggests that all the husband’s funds were commingled and considered to be an integral part of his ownership interest. In Smoot, the Supreme Court of Virginia cited an Illinois case which applied the doctrine of transmutation to support the proposition that commingled marital and separate property must be classified as marital property. Id:, see In re Marriage of Smith, 86 Ill. 2d 518, 531-32, 427 N.E.2d 1239, 1245-46 (1981)(<HOLDING>). We conclude from our reading of Smoot that Options: A. holding that the trial court erred in finding that marital property was the former wifes separate property based on a nonseparation agreement in which the former husband purported to relinquish any interest in the marital property B. holding that furniture and furnishings for marital residence purchased with separate funds were transmuted into marital property because they were acquired and treated as communal property C. holding that assets acquired subsequent to separation are not considered marital property absent evidence that spouse used marital property to obtain them D. holding that separate property may become marital property if spouse donates it to marital unit with intent at time of donation that property become marital E. holding that separate property valued at 45000 was transmuted to marital property when improved by 3800 of marital property

Case excerpt: multiple glow plugs in the diesel engine system, leading to the clear conclusion that there are multiple “voltage signals.” As such, the intrinsic evidence makes clear to a person of ordinary skill in the art that “a voltage signals” should be construed as “voltage signals” in the context of the ’258 Patent whose claims are directed to vehicles with “one or more glow plugs.” See ’258 Patent 23:33-36. Defendants argue that because the ’258 Patent’s prosecution history does not “suggest whether the applicants intended ‘a voltage signals’ to be singular or plural,” this history dictates that the Court should not correct “a voltage signals.” However, a prosecution history that is silent on a claim term does not prevent a court from correcting a grammatical error. See Novo, 350 F.3d at 1354 (<HOLDING>). Because the Court finds that this Options: A. holding that a court can correct a patent claim for a grammatical error where the prosecution history does not suggest a different interpretation of the claims B. holding that claim 22 which depends from nonexistent claim 38 could be corrected because the error in the dependency was evident based on the face of the patent and that the correct antecedent claim was apparent from the prosecution history C. holding a technical term used in a patent document is interpreted as having the meaning that it would be given by persons experienced in the field of the invention unless it is apparent from the patent and the prosecution history that the inventor used the term with a different meaning D. holding that prosecution history will limit the interpretation of claim terms so as toexclude any interpretation that was disclaimed during prosecution E. holding that in order to understand patent claims a court can take instruction from the other claims the specification and the prosecution history

assistant: The best answer is A. holding that a court can correct a patent claim for a grammatical error where the prosecution history does not suggest a different interpretation of the claims

user: Read the case excerpt and choose the best holding from the options. Case excerpt: was meritless. To the extent the Smiths continue to seek IFP status, that issue is not before the Court for at least two reasons. First, litigants denied IFP status on appeal by a district court generally must seek relief in the court of appeals by filing a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(5), rather than appealing from the district court’s order. As we explained in Callihan v. Schneider, 178 F.3d 800 (6th Cir.1999), “[o]nce the district court denies the pauper motion, the litigant can file a motion for pauper status with this court in accordance with [Rule 24(a)(5) ]. Any appeal from an order deny- ing pauper status on appeal will not be entertained and shall be dismissed sua sponte.” Id. at 804; accord Fed. R.App. P. 24 (Advisory Committee Notes, 1967) (<HOLDING>). Because the Smiths did not file a motion with Options: A. holding that judicial review of final agency action under the administrative procedure act provides the proper procedure to challenge the sufficiency of an eis B. holding timely notice of appeal under fed rapp p 4a is jurisdictional C. holding that when an agency fails to follow the proper procedure under the illinois administrative procedure act for the adoption of rules the rule is invalid D. recognizing that the simple and expeditious motion procedure set forth in fed rapp p 24a5 rather than an appeal from the certification of lack of good faith is the proper procedure for calling in question the correctness of the action of the district court E. holding that when the administrative procedure is not empowered to achieve the end sought in the legal action the procedure is unavailable because it cannot accomplish the purpose of the legal action

assistant: The best answer is D. recognizing that the simple and expeditious motion procedure set forth in fed rapp p 24a5 rather than an appeal from the certification of lack of good faith is the proper procedure for calling in question the correctness of the action of the district court

The writers caution that "([t]he party seeking removal should take care to identify all possible bases of federal subject matter jurisdiction over the suit in its notice of removal because the district court may decline to assert jurisdiction over the case for reasons not averred in the removal notice and deny the removing party leave to amend its notice to include further grounds of federal subject matter jurisdiction after the expiration of the relevant time period.”). 14C C. Wright, A. Arthur, E. Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure, § 3732 (Supp.2000). 5 . Plaintiff disputes this assertion, stating that she can find no basis in the record for Am-core's assertion that D 192 B.R. 848, 858 (Bankr.E.D.Va.1995) (<HOLDING>).
