Accordingly, the second Olano prong is satisfied: the error, both as to the absence of a jury determination on an essential element of the offense and the failure to include that element in the indictment, was indeed "plain." c. Did the plain error affect Thomas's substantial rights? An error affects a defendant's "substantial rights" if it is "prejudicial" and it "affected the outcome of the district court proceedings." Gore, 154 F.3d at 47. "Though 'prejudice' is also required to show that an error is not 'harmless,' pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 52(a), the important difference of plain error prejudice [in most cases] is that '[i]t is the defendant rather than the Government who bears the burden of pers , 2001), with United States v.

question:
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

Defendant OPM's Motion to Dismiss 1. Claim for Recovery of Benefits under FEHBA Plaintiffs first cause of action is for recovery of benefits under 5 U.S.C. 8900, et seq., the Federal Employee Health Benefits Act ("FEHBA"). OPM contends that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiffs claim under FEHBA, and thus Plaintiffs first cause of action should be dismissed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1). OPM argues that because Plaintiff has not exhausted his administrative remedies under FEHBA, the United States has not yet consented to the suit and jurisdiction is therefore lacking. ( Cir.1992) (<HOLDING>). OPM in its agency regulations under FEHBA
