In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

of his criminal history and likelihood of reoffending. Currie notes that most of his prior convictions were remote and that he has demonstrated both a decrease in criminal behavior since 1990 and a decrease in violent conduct since 2006. However, the vast majority of Currie’s adult life has been spent in prison, undermining his argument that his reduction in criminal convictions during this period is indicative of reduced criminality. Notably, Currie’s dozens of institutional would impose the same sentence as a variance sentence, even if it erred in its Guidelines calculations or application of U.S.S.G. § 4A1.3(a). And although Currie identified nonfrivolous mitigating factors in support of a lower sentence, see, e.g., United States v. Howard, 773 F.3d 519, 532-33 (4th Cir. 2014) (<HOLDING>), we cannot conclude, in view of the totality

function of determining the validity of a claim from the function of fixing the claim’s monetary value. See In re Devitt, 126 B.R. 212, 215 (Bankr.D.Md.1991). Section 502 therefore required the bankruptcy court to “determine[ ] the validity of the claim[s] and the amount allowed.” Kane v. Johns-Manville Corp,, 843 F.2d 636, 646 (2d Cir.1988). It was then but a short and logical step for the bankruptcy court to enter a money judgment against Porges, on the basis of its section 502 determination, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58 and Bankruptcy Rule 9021. Rule 58 directs the clerk of the court to enter judgment in favor of a prevai 8 L.Ed.2d 939 (1990); see generally United States v. Indrelunas, 411 U.S. 216, 221-22, 93 S.Ct. 1562, 1564-65, 36 L.Ed.2d 202 (1973) (per curiam) (<HOLDING>). The entry of a money judgment also finds 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that the time to file an appeal never began to run because the clerk failed to enter a separate judgment as required by rule 58 (B) holding that because the district courts order failed to comply with rule 58 appellants notice of appeal cannot be considered late (C) holding that in order to prevent uncertainty rule 58 must be mechanically applied (D) holding that a district courts marginal order granting summary judgment did not meet the strict requirements of rule 58 because a party may reasonably be confused as to the standing of its ease when a decision is rendered in such an informal manner (E) holding rule 58 and bankruptcy rule 9021 applied in decision denying proofs of claim following adversary proceeding

“intentionally self-inflicted injuries” applies. The policy defines accidental bodily injury, which is covered under the policy, as “bodily harm caused solely by external, violent and accidental means which is sustained directly and independently of all other causes.” (Stipulated Facts, Ex. 1 at 11.) The death in this case was not solely caused by external and accidental means, nor was it sustained independently of all other causes. The death certificate reported that the spinal fracture was due to a motor accident, which itself was due to alcohol intoxication. As a matter of common sense and reasonableness, there can be no question that but for the intoxication, the mishap might well not have happened. See Smith v. Life Ins. Co. of North America, 872 F.Supp. 482, 485 (W.D.Tenn.1994) (<HOLDING>). The parties have devoted a large portion of 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that decedents voluntary consumption of alcohol resulting in a level of 23 was at least a partial cause of vehicular collision precluding accidental benefits (B) holding that rule 58 allows inclusion of at least one citation to legal authority and at least a onesentence explanation of the courts reasoning (C) holding that rule 23 applied even when the new york statute providing the cause of action prohibited class relief (D) holding misrepresentation must at least be partial cause of plaintiffs injury (E) holding that there was a genuine issue of material fact precluding summary judgment
