TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a sentence, and you should determine whether it is overruling or non-overruling. In law, an overruling sentence is a statement that nullifies a previous case decision as a precedent by a constitutionally valid statute or a decision by the same or higher ranking court which establishes a different rule on the point of law involved. Classify your answers into overruling or non-overruling
PROBLEM: for these reasons we believe that board of education v. chattin, supra, should be overruled to the extent that it conflicts with the views herein set out.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: to the extent that dorgan v. dorgan, 811 so.2d 552 (ala.civ.app. 2001), held to the contrary by indicating that a trial court's determination of a parent's underemployment requires a written finding that application of the child-support guidelines would be unjust or inappropriate, its holding is inconsistent with rule 32(b)(5), ala. r. jud. admin., and dorgan is hereby overruled to that extent.

SOLUTION: overruling

PROBLEM: because the trial court acted under its discretionary authority, as authorized by statute, to order the   defendant to serve his original sentence in confinement, the trial court did not abuse its discretion, and we affirm its judgment.
