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.

[Q]: F.2d 448, 451 (1st Cir.1975). Anderson's condition at the time of the statement was described as excited, nervous and scared, and he appeared as if "he did not know what to do." Moreover, his statement directly related to an exciting event, the shooting. Thus, based on the evidence and circumstances known at the time of its ruling, the trial court could have reasonably concluded that the exciting event witnessed by Anderson was the shooting itself. Accordingly, to the extent the trial court based its ruling on the fact that Anderson personally perceived the shooting, we find no abuse of discretion. We further note that the startling occurrence that triggers the excited utterance need not necessarily be the crime itself. See Salazar v. State, 38 S.W.3d 141, 154-55 (Tex.Crim.App.2001) (<HOLDING>); Couchman v. State, 3 S.W.3d 155, 159
Holding statements: (A) holding trial court could have found startling event or condition was declarants sustaining an injury or the pain she later experienced (B) holding that a logical nexus between the injury sued upon and an unre lated prior condition satisfied the rondinelli test requiring only the possibility that the plaintiffs claimed damages in whole or in part resulted from a condition or event unrelated to the defendants negligence (C) holding that a lower court properly admitted a fouryear olds hearsay statement although she made it 1215 hours after the startling event (D) holding that statement must be product of a startling event (E) holding a condition precedent is an act or event that must be performed or occur after the contract has been formed before the contract becomes effective

[Q]: the terms of the agreement as to the status of the donor in writing. After the mother and her partner ended their relationship, the sperm donor filed suit to adjudicate his parental rights. The court looked to the plain language of the Texas statute and determined that the sperm donor lacked standing to pursue the paternity action. See Tex. Fam.Code Ann. 160.702 (Vernon Supp.2006) ("A donor is not a parent of a child conceived by means of assisted reproduction."). The "do-it-yourself" manner in which the artificial insemination was conducted does not alter the fact that B.O.C. was a sperm donor under section 742.14. The statute does not require that the artificial insemination be performed in a clinical setting to apply. Compare McIntyre v. Crouch, 98 Or.App. 462, 780 P.2d 239 (1989) (<HOLDING>), with C.O. v. W.S., 64 Ohio Misc.2d 9, 639
Holding statements: (A) holding that where the donor nonpaternity statute did not explicitly reference physician involvement the statute applied even though the sperm was not provided to a physician (B) holding that writ was explicitly abolished by statute (C) holding that the title of the statute did not limit the reach of the statute (D) holding that where first amendment freedoms are not infringed by the statute a vagueness claim must be evaluated as the statute is applied to the facts of the case (E) holding that the statute as applied violates the commerce clause

[Q]: official capacity as members of the Louisiana Air National Guard, which was in turn acting under color of state law. 10 . The Court also notes that, in their opposition to the State Defendants' motion for summary judgment, Plaintiffs concede that Thomas is a "state police officer." Rec. Doc. 51, p. 29. 11 . Although this issue was not raised by the parties, the Court also notes that according to "long and clearly established Supreme Court precedent ... neither a State nor its officials acting in their official capacities are 'persons' under 1983," and thus neither a State nor its officials are amenable to suit under 1983, 1985, or 1986. Fairley v. Stalder, 294 Fed.Appx. 805, 808-809 (5th Cir.2008); Bryant v. Military Dept. of State of Miss., 381 F.Supp.2d 586, 592 (S.D.Miss.2005) (<HOLDING>). Thus, Plaintiffs' official ca pacity claims
Holding statements: (A) holding that claims under 1983 1985 and 1986 are barred for the further reason that these statutes create rights solely against persons and a state is not considered a person under these statutes (B) holding that these statutes are not intended to create a duty where none exists but to preserve any that do exist (C) holding housing statutes create no rights in tenants for purposes of section 1983 (D) holding these two statutes are not criminal offenses and only affect sentencing (E) holding state is not a proper defendant under 1985
