TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: 106 S.Ct. at 2553. And if plaintiff cannot support each essential element of his claim, summary judgment must be granted because a complete failure of proof regarding an essential element necessarily renders other facts immaterial. Id. at 322-23, 106 S.Ct. at 2552-53. The Court reviews defendants' motion for summary judgment in light of the forgoing standard. DISCUSSION There is no question in this case of Brod-nicki's innocence. But, because "[t]he Constitution does not guarantee that only the guilty will be arrested," Baker v. McCollan, 443 U.S. 137, 145, 99 S.Ct. 2689, 2695, 61 L.Ed.2d 433 (1979), Brodnieki's innocence is irrelevant to the question of whether there was probable cause for his arrest. Michigan v. DeFillippo, 443 U.S. 31, 36, 99 S.Ct. 2627, 2631, 61 L.Ed.2d 343 (1979) (<HOLDING>). The issue before the Court is whether the
Holding statements: (A) holding that the burden is on the defendant when the validity of the warrant is challenged (B) holding that a warrantless arrest does not violate the fourth amendment if at the time of the defendants arrest police had probable cause to believe that an offense has been is being or will be committed (C) holding that initial illegal detention does not call into question validity of arrest pursuant to valid warrant wjhere the police effectuate an arrest in an illegal manner but nonetheless have probable cause to make the arrest the proper fourth amendment remedy is to exclude only that evidence which is a fruit of the illegality (D) holding that where an arrest was premised on both legally and illegally obtained evidence the validity of the arrest would depend on whether the untainted information considered by itself establishes probable cause (E) holding that the validity of the arrest does not depend on whether the suspect actually committed a crime the mere fact that the subject is later acquitted of the offense for which he is arrested is irrelevant to the validity of the arrest

SOLUTION: (E)

PROBLEM: who are undeniably state actors, colluded with her in her actions. When all intendments are taken in the Plaintiffs' favor, therefore, their allegations indicate both that Malac infringed their substantive due process rights and that she can be considered a state actor. Accordingly, Malac's motion to dismiss is denied. III. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Defendant Barbara Malac's motion to dismiss [Docket No. 47] is DENIED. The motion of Defendant Agent Cynthia Preston and Defendant Agent Nancy Gingras [Docket No. 50] to dismiss is DENIED with respect to Agent Preston, but GRANTED with respect to Agent Gingras. SO ORDERED. 1 . For the propriety of citing this unpublished Second Circuit opinion, see Anastasoff v. United States, 223 F.3d 898, 899-905 (8th Cir.2000) (Arnold, J.) (<HOLDING>), vacated as moot, 235 F.3d 1054 (8th Cir.2000)
Holding statements: (A) holding that unpublished opinions are of persuasive value at best and not precedential (B) holding that opinions accompanying the denial of certiorari cannot have the same effect as decisions on the merits (C) holding that even district court cases decided by panels of three have no precedential value (D) holding that unpublished opinions have precedential effect (E) recognizing that we ordinarily do not accord precedential value to our unpublished decisions and that such decisions are entitled only to the weight they generate by the persuasiveness of their reasoning citation omitted

PROBLEM: in Wheeler occurred on May 31, 2007. Wheeler, 121 Hawai'i at 386-87, 219 P.3d 1170-74. Hence, for charging purposes, the law that governed was the OVUII statute as it existed in 2007. It is therefore inaccurate to say that the OVUII law post-Wheeler was any different than that existing pre-Wheeler, because the requirements set forth in Wheeler were themselves applied to a charge that dated back to 2007. Accordingly, the Walker quote is a misstatement ("essential elements that the State must include in an OVUII charge differ from those required in 2007"). 31 .This court has previously applied Wheeler retroactively in cases in which an OVUII charge lacked the public-road element without discussion of whether Wheeler announced a new rule. See Garcia, 125 Hawai'i at 443, 263 P.3d at 724 (<HOLDING>). These post-Wheeler decisions include the
Holding statements: (A) holding johnson announced a new substantive rule and prior supreme court holdings make it retroactive (B) holding that apprendi announced a rule of criminal procedure forecloses argument that ring announced a substantive rule (C) holding that simmons announced a new rule and retrospective application of the rule was barred by teague (D) holding that retroactivity is assumed unless a new rule is announced (E) holding that rule announced in mcconnell applies retroactively
