We consider once again the extent to which the federal tort remedy in 42 U.S.C. § 1983 overlaps state tort remedies; for our most recent discussion of this question see Johnson v. Miller, 680 F.2d 39 (7th Cir. 1982).	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 80-1865	Samer Mansour v. Immigration and Naturalization Service (2000)
The Immigration Court denied Samer Mansour's claim for asylum as well as withholding of removal, but granted him voluntary departure. Mansour then appealed the Immigration Court's decision and filed a motion to remand or reopen the proceedings. The Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirmed the Immigration Court's decision concerning Mansour's asylum and withholding of removal request and dismissed his appeal. The BIA also denied Mansour's motion to remand. For the reasons [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 99-3940	United States v. Carolyn Kay Poff (1991)
Can a "crime of violence" also be a "non-violent offense"? We heard this case en banc to answer this seemingly straightforward question. The career offender provision of the Sentencing Guidelines defines a "crime of violence" as, inter alia, any offense that "has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another." U.S.S.G. Sec. 4B1.2(1)(i); see also 18 U.S.C. Sec. 16 (progenitor of the Guideline definition). The Guidelines [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 89-3017	Gash Associates v. Village of Rosemont, Illinois (1993)
A partnership called GASH Associates owned an office building in Rosemont, Illinois. The building was encumbered by three mortgages. GASH created a fourth when it sold the building, taking the buyer's non-recourse note. The buyer did not pay, and GASH decided to foreclose on its interest. This led to a sale at auction, which realized $4,005,000, not enough to pay off the senior lenders, to which GASH owed almost $6 million. GASH was stuck with a hefty deficiency judgment. The [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 92-3481	United States v. Defabian C. Shannon (1997)
The defendant, Defabian Shannon, pleaded guilty in 1995 to being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He was sentenced to 115 months in prison, and challenges the sentence on several grounds. The panel before which his appeal was argued found merit in only one of his challenges, 94 F.3d 1065 (7th Cir.1996), and we reject the others on the basis of the panel's opinion. By a vote of 2 to 1, the panel held that the district judge had erred in [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 95-2367	Fed. Sec. L. Rep. P 95 v. Sun Chemical Corporation (1977)
These five appeals were consolidated and heard together.

(SKI),1 John B. Huarisa,2 and Henry W. Meers in connection with the transfer to Sundstrand of an option held by Huarisa to purchase stock of SKI. Sundstrand sought a [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 76-1316	United States v. Ellis Burrell (1992)

Paul Cieslowski (2005)
It is common for criminal prosecutions to be resolved by the defendant's plea of guilty, but not all guilty pleas are alike. Usually in federal court, defendants enter the type of plea that leaves the court free to set whatever sentence it believes is proper, under the law. It is also possible, however, for the plea agreement to specify a particular sentence that both the defendant and the government agree is appropriate. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(c)(1)(C). That is the kind of plea [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 03-2890	Jerome MacLin v. Dr. Freake (1981)
Plaintiff Jerome Maclin, a prisoner at the Indiana State Prison, sued prison Medical Services Administrator Dr. Ronald Freake, alleging Dr. Freake's deliberate indifference to Maclin's serious medical needs violated Maclin's eighth amendment rights. Maclin sought one million dollars in damages, but no injunctive or declaratory relief. Maclin also requested that counsel be appointed to represent him. Judge Sharp denied the request, stating appointment is a privilege, not a right and is [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 79-1760	Philip R. Visser v. Packer Engineering Associates, Inc. (1991)
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. Secs. 621 et seq., is a major source of federal litigation and a growing factor in American labor markets. The question of what a plaintiff in an age discrimination case must show in order to defeat the defendant's motion for summary judgment is fundamental to the administration of the Act, and hence is of large practical importance.	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 89-2825	Ron G. McCoy v. Wgn Continental Broadcasting Co. (1992)
The district court granted summary judgment to the defendant in this action under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA"), 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634. 758 F.Supp. 1231. The plaintiff appeals. 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 90-3693	United States v. Michael Mustread (1994)
Michael Mustread once had a promising future. He had received an undergraduate degree with honors, and he had been admitted to law school. But Mustread decided that before attending law school, he would distribute marijuana on a vast scale. The jury convicted him of conspiracy to distribute marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and money laundering. The judge sentenced him to 360 months in prison. Mustread now appeals his conviction and sentence on numerous [...]	Court: Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Docket: 93-1456	United States v. Frank Peter Balistrieri (1985)
