question:
Dube, who held a hearing on the summary judgment motions on December 11, 2003. On January 14, 2004, Judge Dube issued his R & R, which recommended that Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment be granted and that Defendant's Motion be denied, thereby reversing the decision of the Appeals Council. Having received objections from both parties, the R & R is now ripe for consideration by this Court. Analysis The issues appealed from the Appeals Council are purely questions of law. Although a more restrictive standard of review applies if an appeal of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security is based on that decision's factual findings, no presumption of validity attaches to the Commissioner's conclusions of law. See Cornelius v. Sullivan, 936 F.2d 1143, 1145-46 (11th Cir.1991) (<HOLDING>). Therefore; the Court must conduct its own
Holding statements: (A) holding that although the district court was not required to discuss each of the factors on the record a decision to dismiss stands a better chance on appeal if the appellate court has the benefit of the district courts reasoning (B) holding that the best interest of the child was the proper standard to apply in determining whether blood tests should be conducted (C) holding the courts scope of review is limited to determining whether the commissioner applied the correct legal standards and whether the record as a whole contains substantial evidence to support the commissioners findings of fact (D) recognizing that when reviewing for clear error we usually must reverse if the district court applied incorrect legal standards to reach its findings (E) holding the district court can reverse the commissioners decision based on her failure to apply the correct law or to provide the reviewing court with sufficient reasoning for determining that the proper legal analysis has been conducted
answer:
(E)

question:
campus is a limited public forum. Def. Br. 12. The Court agrees with the defendants' assessment. The Court begins by recognizing that "the campus of a public university, at least for its students, possesses many of the characteristics of a public forum." Widmar v. Vincent, 454 U.S. 263, 267 n. 5, 102 S.Ct. 269, 70 L.Ed.2d 440 (1981). Accordingly, the Second Circuit has noted, "[s]ome portions of a public college's campus may be a public forum." Davis v. Stratton, 360 FedAppx. 182, 184 (2d Cir.2010). Significant to the analysis, however, is that these areas may constitute a designated public forum only to the extent they are "intentionally openfed]" to First Amendment activities. Make the Road by Walking, Inc. v. Turner, 378 F.3d 133, 143 (2d Cir.2004); see also Ochshom, 645 F.3d at 540 (<HOLDING>); Hotel Emps., 311 F.3d at 545 (noting that a

question:
of procedure are concerned a party has no more right, in a criminal than in a civil action, to insist that his case shall be disposed of under the law in force when the act to be investigated is charged to have taken place." Mallett v. North Carolina, 181 U.S. 589, 596-97, 21 S.Ct. 730, 733, 45 L.Ed. 1015 (1901) (citation omitted). Applying these ex post facto principles to this case, we hold that Pilcher has not demonstrated that the statute affected his substantive rights, and we further hold that it is not an ex post facto law as applied in this case. In so holding, we note that courts of other jurisdictions, when confronted with similar ex post facto arguments regarding rape shield statutes, have reached the same result. See Turley v. State, 356 So.2d 1238, 1243-44 (Ala.App.1978) (<HOLDING>); People v. Dorff, 77 Ill.App.3d 882, 885-86,

(C)
