Classify your answers into overruling or non-overruling
PROBLEM: in reaching this conclusion, the court stated that it believed the sequence of events as documented in kinney's arrest report that the officer was beginning to pat down defendant when defendant dropped the backpack.

SOLUTION: non-overruling

PROBLEM: the contrary conclusion of some lower courts rests on the following logic: the term "information" in subparagraph (b) must be read in tandem with the term "information" in sub-paragraph (a), and the term "information" in subparagraph (a) refers to the information on which the publicly disclosed allegations are based.

SOLUTION: overruling

SOLUTION:
overruling
