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.

terms, “pending” refers to the status of an action before a final decision on the merits. Beetham v. Georgia-Pacific, 87 Or App 592, 743 P2d 755 (1987); see also Webster’s Third New Int’l Dictionary, 1669 (unabridged ed 1993) (pending means “not yet decided”). Although that meaning is useful in determining whether an action remains pending, it does not fully resolve the problem before us, which is to determine when an action becomes pending. The solution to that problem, however, is readily apparent from relevant contextual sources. ORCP 3 provides that an action is commenced by the filing of a complaint rather than by service of summons. An action becomes pending when it is commenced. See Fremont Indemnity Co. v. Corbett, 66 Or App 668, 672, 675 P2d 1097, rev den 297 Or 340 (1984) (<HOLDING>). Therefore, after a complaint is filed, an

Eighth Circuit and a pair of nonprece-dential decisions from this court, all of which assume that lying to a supervising probation officer is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a), a felony. See United States v. Wagner, 573 Fed.Appx. 598, 598-99 (7th Cir. 2014); United States v. Quillman, 409 Fed.Appx. 18, 21 (7th Cir. 2011); United States v. Grimes, 54 F.3d 489, 491-92 (8th Cir. 1995). But Grimes was decided before Congress amended § 1001 to exempt from its coverage any false statement made to a “judge or magistrate” by a party in a “judicial proceeding,” 18 U.S.C. § 1001(b), and we haven’t yet considered whether, or to what extent, that exemption covers lies made to a probation officer by a person under supervision, compare United States v. Horvath, 492 F.3d 1075, 1076 (9th Cir. 2007) (<HOLDING>), with United States v. Vreeland, 684 F.3d 653,

fairly and reasonably compensate Grace C. Chantos for her damages, if any, that resulted from such breach of contract? Consider the following elements of damages, if any, and none other: The amount Grace C. Chantos would have received for the sale of her 502 shares of the business corporation if H. Frank Faucette and J. Lawrence Scha-dler had not breached the Sale and Purchase Agreement. At the charge conference, Faucette’s and Schadler’s only objection to this question was that the answers should have been separate for each of them. They did not complain that the instruction’s measure of damages was improper or otherwise object to the instruction. Therefore, we measure the sufficiency of the evidence against the language in the charge. Osterberg v. Peca, 12 S.W.3d 31, 55 (Tex.2000) (<HOLDING>); Kroger Co. v. Brown, 267 S.W.3d 320, 323 
 Holding statements: (A) holding when no objection is made to jury issue sufficiency of the evidence is measured against charge given by court rather than some other unidentified law (B) holding that sufficiency of the evidence is measured against a hypothetically correct jury charge (C) holding that sufficiency of evidence to support a conviction is not measured by the jury charge actually given but rather measured by the elements of the offense as defined by a hypothetically correct charge (D) holding that direct and circumstantial evidence are to be given the same weight when reviewing the sufficiency of the evidence (E) holding that summary judgment is appropriate when no issue of material fact exists and the court is reviewing administrative record for sufficiency of evidence
