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.

[EX Q]: and the prosecutor, the Court finds, one, there is a factual basis for the entry of the plea[.]" We conclude that the summary of the facts presented by the prosecutor and Defendant's stipulations are sufficient to establish a factual basis for Defendant's guilty plea. Specifically, the prosecutor's statements that the victim "is 80 years of age" and "is crippled in her knees with arthritis and requires a crutch to walk" and that Defendant "told his mother that he would kill her and cut her heart out[,]" "grabbed the victim[,]" and "slung her across the room twice and then hit her with her crutch" provided a sufficient factual basis to support Defendant's guilty plea. See N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-32.1(a) & (e); see also State v. May, 159 N.C. App. 159, 166, 583 S.E.2d 302, 306 (2003) (<HOLDING>). Accordingly, we conclude this argument has no
Holding statements: (A) holding that right to challenge factual basis is waived by guilty plea (B) holding that district court abused discretion in denying motion to withdraw plea based on intervening supreme court decision that may have rendered factual basis of plea insufficient (C) holding that based on the facts presented by the state and the defendants stipulation to the existence of a factual basis for his plea the court properly determined a factual basis for the plea existed (D) holding that although defendant is not entitled to appeal from his guilty plea as a matter of right his arguments challenging the factual basis for his guilty plea are reviewable pursuant to a petition for writ of certiorari (E) holding that district court properly considered a police report that the defendant had stipulated contained a factual basis for his plea

[EX Q]: case because in Revenue Cabinet, as here, the sales tax statute did not impose a test for passage of title, and an administrative rule did impose a test for passage of title. Id. at 738-39. Here, Hales makes no claim that the impermanence of its materials results in a generally understood, implicit agreement to pass title at some point before delivery. Moreover, our statute requires an explicit agreement on passage of title before the statutory presumption can be rebutted; there is no obvious provision in this statute for an implicit understanding, which the Kentucky court thought sufficient. Consequently, the facts of Revenue Cabinet are inapposite and its result is inapplicable to the case at bar. See also Kurtz Concrete, Inc. v. Spradling, 560 S.W.2d 858, 862 (Mo.1978) (en banc) (<HOLDING>). We hold that the Commission applied the

Ugwuonye, 901 F.Supp.2d 92, 97 (D.D.C.2012) (noting that even though individual could appear pro se in his personal capacity, he cannot do so as the trustee on behalf of a company). The law treats corporationseven small onesas distinct from the natural persons that create or work for them. A corporation is "viewed as a distinct entity, even when it is wholly owned by a single individual." Quinn v. Butz, 510 F.2d 743, 757 (D.C.Cir.1975) (footnote omitted). In various contexts, the law takes seriously the formal line between a corporation and a natural person, even when the corporation is, in effect, a one-person firm. See, e.g., Cedric Kushner Promotions, Ltd. v. King, 533 U.S. 158, 161-65, 121 S.Ct. 2087, 150 L.Ed.2d 198 (2001) (<HOLDING>). Individuals experience burdens as well as
