Miscellaneous

There were a number of new Court of Appeals opinions released today. I looked through the summaries and found so many that I thought might be interesting. I ended up needing to shave my list a little bit so I could get some work done.

There is one that touches on judicial recusal in an attorney malpractice case. Not really much there, though.

An unfortunate case concerning a mother’s need for her child to be sick.

Another child custody case that has a very interesting outcome. You have to read the dissent to find it that interesting, though.

A case about a gaming permit for the hallowed (see my last post) National Cattle Congress. Actually, it’s for the now defunct dog track in Waterloo, which is run by the Cattle Congress Board. This opinion, though, is now mysteriously missing from the page of recent decisions, though it still shows up in the summaries.

And a criminal case that I find remarkable only because I think I went to high school with the defendant.

Finally, my condolences to my office-mate Rockne Cole for the disposition of his post-conviction relief appeal.

Happy reading.
