Tina Fey and Amy Poehler mocked Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' music video on Saturday Night Live with their 'Dope Squad' video. With a cameo from Amy Schumer, the trio not only spoofed the now iconic clip, but also gave us a glimpse of a "squad" unlike any we've ever seen.
Yes, the two SNL alum hosted the Christmas episode of the show that first brought them fame, on '30 Rock' and 'Parks and Recreation' respectively, and now far beyond that in a new movie 'Sisters.'
In the prerecorded segment brought vibrancy and some scathing commentary in the guise of a parody in the pre-recoded clip which began seemingly as the two of them were promoting their new movie, and asked a typically condescending question that reveals the double standards that are still so pervasive. "Movies, television, kids… How do you juggle it all?"
To that Poehler says, "We just have a great squad of people who help us out."
Yes, nowadays, we've all heard about Taylor Swift's famous squad comprised of super models and celebrities — including Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and others– so naturally this prompted the interviewer to ask, "Models and starlets?"
Well, with that, not only does the interviewer get a vivid answer, but so do we and here's where it gets biting. In a virtual shot-by-shot parody of the opening sequence of Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood' with all of its CGI glory, our duo reveal their nicknames, Fey and Poeher, we learn are "Powderkeg' and 'Shortfuse' respectively. Yes, both donning the sexy black leather quasi-Mad Max outfits that Taylor Swift and her co-stars wore. The original, after all, drew as much notice for its special effects as for its cast which included many of those squad members along with the likes of Cindy Crawford, Jessica Alba, and Ellie Goulding.
This being SNL Christmas episode and all we might be expecting a star-studded video. But as the introductions continue and no, we don't see the "models" and the "starlets" but instead we're introduced to the pair's nannies.
Also making cameos are the "woman at the diner," the "mammogram technician." Also making an appearance, their mutual gynecologist! Yes, a very different squad is shaping up. And eventually we do see some celebrities, namely Gayle King and Robert Downey, Sr.
Soon our duo becomes a trio, picking up Amy Schumer. Fey says, "I did her show so she owes me one favor." To which Schumer says, "Is this not a charity thing?" To appease her, Fey then tells her to do a ""slow motion post-apocalyptic walk." And yes, she does just that!
Yes, the point is made and along the way, even the interviewer has had a chance to rap a few lines. And yes, this might indeed go down as one of the classic SNL shorts, such as we saw in the Andy Samberg era which gave us those infamous short in particular costarring Justin Timberlake and a certain body part in a box.
And, as the clip goes viral – after all, we knew it would — it's begging for gifs and memes, even as it makes some important social commentary.

The invention relates generally to splicing or connecting webs of material and more particularly to splicing webs of pressure sensitive laminate material.
The present invention is directed to a novel splice and to a method of splicing together two webs of pressure sensitive laminate material. The invention uniquely enhances the quality and rate of conversion of laminate stock before die cutting to matrix-stripped laminated stock.
The following definitions will be helpful to facilitate understanding of the invention:
Release liner: usually paper that has been treated with a silicone release agent.
Face sheet: usually paper, foil or film.
Pressure sensitive adhesive: an adhesive which can be formulated to provide varying degrees of removability from surfaces to which it is applied.
Pressure sensitive laminate: a combination of a release liner with a face sheet temporarily adhered to it by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive. When the face sheet is stripped from the release liner, the pressure sensitive adhesive permanently adheres to the face sheet.
Die cutting: the process of cutting through the face sheet only of a pressure sensitive laminate in a desired pattern to form labels and the like.
Matrix or Lace: the area of face sheet surrounding the die cut desired pattern (e.g., labels) that is stripped away after the die cutting operation to leave matrix-stripped laminate stock with labels remaining on the release liner.
The prior art can be described with reference to FIGS. 1,2,3 and 4.
In FIG. 1 a conventional pressure sensitive laminate 10, is shown in cross-section. This laminate 10 is prepared by bringing together a face sheet 14 with a release liner 12 that has been coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive 16.
In the preparation of products such as labels, referring to FIG. 2, parent roll 18 of laminate 10 before die cutting is cut by die cutting apparatus 20 (illustrated schematically) which cuts through face sheet 14 but not release liner 12. Following the die cutting operation a matrix of face sheet 14 is stripped away from release liner 12 with holes 22 where the die cut labels 24 have been cut and are left intact on release liner 12.
The parent rolls of laminate 10 before die cutting are manufactured in a laminating process into intermediate parent rolls of various lengths. These intermediate parent rolls are then rewound and slit into final parent rolls for die cutting at the widths and lengths ordered by the customer. In the rewinding process it is often necessary to make splices to satisfy customer length requirements and to remove defects in the parent rolls. A conventional splice of this nature is depicted in FIG. 3 (in cross-section) and in FIG. 4. FIG. 3 shows a conventional butt-type splice for pressure sensitive laminates. This splice is prepared by butting the expiring end of laminate 10b against the leading end of laminate 10a at the butt line 26. The splice has five layers which consist of three splicing tapes plus a face sheet and a release liner.
Splicing tape 28 is applied on the butt line 26 transversely across the width of the webs on the release liner side. A clear tape 30 is applied on the butt line 26 transversely across the width of the webs between the release liners 12a and 12b and the face sheets 14a and 14b. The purpose of tape 30 between the face sheets and the release liners is to prevent adhesive of tape 28 from working its way up through the gap between the two abutting release liners and sticking to the adhesive 16 on the back side of face sheets 14a and 14b. If the two adhesive layers were to contact each other and adhere, the face sheet's matrix would break during die cutting. Lastly, splicing tape 32 is applied on the butt line 26 transversely across the width of the webs on the face sheets 14a and 14b.
FIG. 4 is an overhead view of the face sheet surface of laminates 10a and 10b showing splicing tape 32 extending diagonally across the face sheets. Splicing tape 32 must have good adhesive strength to form the splice and the backing must have good internal strength to maintain the splice through the various converting operations in which the web will be subjected. For this reason paper tapes are usually not adequate. Tapes that normally provide the required strength are plastic tapes.
As one examines the conventional splice, it is apparent that it is not suitable to go through the conversion process and end up as part of the finished product. Splicing tape 32 joining the face sheets of laminated webs 10a and 10b is typically of a different material and color than the two face sheets. Thus, the tape represents a significant change in surface quality, printability and/or other functionality.
Another disadvantage is that the conventional splice has less than maximum strength to offset stresses that could pull apart the joined webs when they are subjected to high shear forces. As shown in FIG. 3, the laminate 10 is cut all the way through with the cuts in the face sheet and the release liner being aligned. If either the face sheet or the release liner separates, due to a poorly made splice or excessive tension, the other web will most likely separate, as well. Also, the face sheet tape in the typical splice straddles both face sheets, with approximately half of the tape on one face sheet web and one half on the other. To separate the two webs, the tape must slide across the face sheet a distance of only half the width of the tape. Thus, the typical butt-type splice lacks maximum resistance to shear forces when the spliced web is pulled through a winding or unwinding operation.
The present invention avoids the problems of the prior art by a novel splicing process in which the laminates to be spliced are trimmed in such a way that one of the face sheets overlaps the other face sheet. There is no need for a splicing tape across the face sheets and in most embodiments the tape between the release liners and face sheets can be eliminated.
The present invention in a preferred embodiment is a method of splicing a first pressure sensitive laminate to a second pressure sensitive laminate comprising:
A. making a first cut through the entire thickness of the first laminate across its entire width;
B. making a second cut through only the release liner of the first laminate across its entire width parallel to the first cut so as to leave a portion of the face sheet extending beyond the release liner;
C. making a third cut through the entire thickness of the second laminate across its entire width so as to permit continuous abutment of the cut ends of the first and second release liners;
D. butting together the cut ends of the first and second release liners in a continuous abutment across their entire widths; and
E. pressing the part of the first face sheet which extends beyond the first release liner onto the top of the second face sheet to permanently adhere the first and second face sheets together.
FIG. 1 is a cross section view of a conventional pressure sensitive adhesive laminate.
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a pressure sensitive adhesive laminate being unwound from a reel and advancing through a die cutting and stripping operation.
FIG. 3 is a cross section view as shown in FIG. 4 of webs of pressure sensitive adhesive laminate that have been conventionally spliced.
FIG. 4 is an overhead view of webs of pressure sensitive adhesive laminate that have been conventionally spliced.
FIG. 5 is a cross section view of webs as shown in FIG. 6 of pressure sensitive adhesive laminate that have been spliced by the process of the invention.
FIG. 6 is an overhead view of webs of pressure sensitive adhesive laminate that have been spliced by the process of the invention.
FIG. 7 is a schematic representation of a section of a web of pressure sensitive adhesive laminate containing a splice made by the process of the invention as it exits from a die cutting operation.
FIGS. 8, 9, 10 and 11 are alternative embodiments of the splice of the invention as shown in cross section on FIG. 6.
FIG. 5 depicts a preferred embodiment of the invention. It incorporates the use of face sheet 14b of an expiring pressure sensitive laminate web 10b to overlap face sheet 14a of a new or oncoming pressure sensitive laminate web 10a and form the splice of the invention. The process of making the splice can be done on a table wide enough to accommodate the widths of the webs to be spliced. The table has slots on its surface which are also wide enough to accommodate the width of the webs. The slots are diagonal with respect to the table. There are three slots 1 inch apart. The purpose of the slots is to make clean uniform cuts in the web materials by placing the webs 10 as desired over the slots and then positioning a knife in the slot and drawing it across the web to make the diagonal cut.
The expiring end of laminate 10b is placed over the middle slot on the splicing table. The knife is placed in the slot and drawn across laminate 10b, cleanly cutting both face sheet 14b and release liner 12b of the expiring end of laminate 10b to the same length. The trim from the cut is discarded. The leading end of new laminate 10a is pulled onto the splicing table over laminate 10b and beyond the middle cutting slot. Once again, a knife is positioned in the middle slot and drawn across the laminates 10a and 10b. The trim from laminate 10a is discarded. With laminate 10b still in the same position, face sheet 14b is peeled back. Laminate 10a is then pulled over the middle slot, over release liner 12b and over and beyond the next slot which is 1 inch away from the middle slot. With the laminates in this position over the next slot, a knife is positioned in the slot and a cut is made across laminate 10a and release liner 12b. Waste trim from laminate 10a and release liner 12b is discarded.
Release liner 12b is now shorter than the face sheet 14b of laminate 10b by 1 inch. With face sheet 14b of laminate 10b still in the rolled back position, laminate 10a is butted up against laminate 10b and the two laminates are joined by tape 28 on their release liner side. A particularly useful tape for this purpose is 3M Scotch Brand 850 polyester film tape colored red. As mentioned earlier, migration of the adhesive on tape 28 to the face sheets 14a and 14b can present problems in the conversion process. For this reason, it is preferable to detackify any exposed tape adhesive on butt line 26. A preferred embodiment uses a waterproof permanent marking stick that contains glycol ether solvents. This marker is manufactured by Sanford Corporation as the Sanford Mean Streak. To detackify the tape adhesive, the marker is simply drawn across the entire width of the butt line 26.
Face sheet 14a remains on release liner 12a. The final step 10b from its peeled back position. Face sheet 14b of laminate 10b is now 1 inch longer than release liner 12b of laminate 10b, consequently in the process of returning it, it overlaps face sheet 14a of laminate 10a 1 inch and serves the same purpose, but better, as top splicing tape 32 shown in FIG. 3.
The resultant overlapped face sheet splice is printable for most printing processes and identical to the two face sheets being joined. It offers more resistance to shear forces than the standard tape splice. There is only one exposed face sheet edge 34 as illustrated as FIGS. 5 and 6. Butt line 26 is also shown in FIG. 6. It is along this line that detackifier is applied prior to overlapping face sheet 14b on face sheet 14a.
FIG. 7 depicts in general the splice of the invention going through the die cutting operation and stripping operation. The cohesive strength of the splice is strong enough to withstand the shear force imposed in the converting operation. The matrix with cut out holes 22 strips cleanly from release liner 12 even in those areas containing the overlap splice 34, leaving die cut labels 24 on release liner 12 intact.
For the face sheet, paper is commonly used in the manufacture of labels. This will likely be a web of papermaking fibers that can be sized and then top coated with a composition containing pigment and adhesive to provide printing properties. There are other materials which can be used in place of paper where special use or decorative effects are desired. Typical examples are plastic film materials and foils.
The release liner will be a material that inherently has release properties or a material that can be treated so that release properties are imparted to it. Certain plastic films such as polyethylene films fall in the first category. Since release liners are usually discarded once they have served their purpose of supporting the face sheet material, an economical release liner is usually preferred. Especially suitable is paper that has been highly refined, surface sized and then siliconized.
There are numerous materials that can be used to detackify or deaden the exposed adhesive of the splicing tape used on the exterior surfaces of the release liners. After the two release liners are joined by the splicing tape, any of the following materials can be run along the seam where the two liners abut:
A. Silicone or silicone compounds;
B. Wax (e.g. crayon wax, candle wax, canning wax);
C. Marking pens (e.g. Mighty Mark 7000 by FaberCastell Corp.; Mean Streak by Sanford Corporation);
D. Oil based paint markers (e.g. are Brite-Mark, Pigment-O-Mark, Paint Marker and Dalo Marker, all manufactured by Mark-Tex Corporation; also Nissen Feltip Paint marker by John P. Nissen, Jr.)
Alternative embodiments of the invention are shown in FIGS. 8, 9, 10 and 11. All of the following embodiments exhibit the basic advantages of the overlapped splice, that is, printability for most processes and resistance to shear forces in the converting operations except the embodiment of FIG. 11 which will be explained. All of the embodiments are cross section views, similar to that shown in FIG. 5.
FIG. 8 represents an embodiment similar to FIG. 5. In FIG. 8 a middle tape 30 is applied along the butt line 26 of the release liners 12a and 12b for the purpose of detackification. The overlapped face sheet splice is prepared in the same manner as that of FIG. 5.
FIG. 9 depicts an overlapped face sheet splice with a staggered release liner splice using only a bottom tape 28. This splice has the advantage of being no more than three layers thick at the splice, however, it requires an extra step in its preparation. At the butt line 26 of the release liners 12a and 12b, face sheet 14b is prepared so that it is longer than the extension of release liner 12a (that portion extending beyond cut 38 of face sheet 14a). The length of face sheet 14b and release liner 12a extension can be varied but generally they will tend to be about 1 inch for face sheet 14b and about 1/2 inch for extension of release liner 12a. Detackifier is used in this embodiment.
FIG. 10 represents another embodiment of the invention. This embodiment is similar to the preferred embodiment depicted in FIG 5. However, in this version no bottom tape and no detackifier are used. Instead a middle tape 30 is used along the butt line 26 between release liners 12a and 12b and face sheets 14a and 14b. Face sheet 14b overlaps middle tape 30 and face sheet 14a to complete the overlapped splice. Middle tape 30 has a silicone film on the top surface and a silicone adhesive on the bottom surface. This type of tape is necessary in order for the silicone adhesive to adhere to release liners 12a and 12b and for the silicone film to provide the same type of release properties as release liners 12a and 12b to allow stripping of the face sheets 14a and 14b at the appropriate time.
FIG. 11 represents the simplest, but least preferred, embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment no tape whatsoever is used and no detackifier is used. Release liner 12b of expiring laminate 10b is trimmed so that it is 1 inch shorter than face sheet 14b. When laminates 10a and 10b are butted together, the 1 inch extension of face sheet 14b is overlapped on face sheet 14a. While the splice of this embodiment does not have the strength and resistance to shear forces as the other embodiments, it is printable, has minimum caliper and does not have to be culled out.
The embodiments presented here all include splices in which the ends of the release liners are trimmed and in close abutment. The invention can also be carried out with untrimmed release liner ends and/or with varying widths of gap between the abutting release liner ends. However as a consequence of not trimming the release liner ends, or of increasing the gap between the release liner ends, a larger adhesive area of the bottom splicing tape is exposed at the gap that must be detackified. Although detackification can be carried out by the methods described herein, such as by wax crayon or a middle splicing tape, it is not as practical or convenient as when the release liner ends are trimmed and in close proximity.
The overlap of expiring face sheet 14b on oncoming face sheet 14a has been described in its preferred length of about 1 inch. However, it could be shorter, as short as about 1/4 inch, although with some risk of the splice coming apart during conversion. It can also be almost any length longer. However, because the additional length is generally unneeded and adds to cost, a length in excess of 6 inches is discouraged.
The embodiments described herein all include face sheet 14b of the expiring laminate web 10b overlapping face sheet 14a of the oncoming laminate web 10a. However, the invention also includes the mirror image arrangement wherein face sheet 14a of the oncoming laminate web 10a overlaps face sheet 14b of the expiring laminate web 10b.

New Jersey Supreme Court
Decided: May 27, 1940.
KATHERINE CARR AND WALTER CARR, PLAINTIFFS-RESPONDENTS,v.JOHN HAGERICH, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT
On appeal from the District Court of the Third Judicial District of Morris county.
For the defendant-appellant, Wilbur A. Stevens, William Wann and John V. Fiore.
For the plaintiffs-respondents, Edward F. Broderick and Griffith Vaughan.
Before Justices Trenchard, Bodine and Porter.
[125 NJL Page 2] BODINE, J. The plaintiffs, husband and wife, recovered damages for injuries suffered on defendant's premises, a restaurant and tavern, in Morris Plains on the evening of April 17th, 1938. They had gone to the premises to purchase
[125 NJL Page 3]
cocktails. For some reason, they did not use the front entrance but went around to the side of the building. At this place was a service entrance with a screen door upon which was printed the words "Keep Out." Beyond was a doorway leading to the cocktail bar. The service entrance was not lighted; the other entrance was. The plaintiff husband opened the service door, in spite of the sign and in spite of the fact that the entry was dark, permitting his wife to enter. She took two steps forward and fell down the cellar steps and he followed.
There was error in the failure of the court to grant a nonsuit or direct a verdict for the defendant. The liability of the owner or occupier of land to his invitees is circumscribed by his invitation. Ryerson v. Bathgate, 67 N.J.L. 337; Guse v. Martin, 96 Id. 262; Carey v. Gray, 98 Id. 217; Gavin v. O'Connor, 99 Id. 162; Liveright v. Max Lifsitz Furniture Co., 117 Id. 243; Wright v. General Ceramics Co., 120 Id. 33.
There was no implied invitation to enter this tavern by a dark service entrance clearly marked with the words "Keep Out." Hence, there was no duty owing to the plaintiffs save to refrain from causing willful injury.
The judgment is reversed.

"I saw this pattern and thought it would be great to go in my gift tins for my homemade spa sets for Christmas. I started the pattern but kept having trouble with the puff stitch. When I try to pull through the loop the hook gets stuck and pull a strand or two out making it look un-neat. Is there a way to prevent this? Could it be the yarn I am using?"
"I love this pattern for making dishcloths! It is so simple and it's so easy to remember. It makes a great,durable dishcloth. Does anyone tried this pattern with that new yarn that is made for making dishcloths? I think it might be a rayon blend. I'm going to try it next time I need dishcloths."
"This is a great beginner project, it was easy to follow and gave great instruction. I was able to work up several of these for co-workers who thought it was so cute. I am going to make several more for my home for company to use when they come over and have coffee."
"These spiral beaded trees are so pretty! For extra sparkle, I am going to place a battery tea light candle in the center of the spiral. Several of these trees would look great placed within a strand of twinkle or small rice lights on a mantle or table center piece!"
"That's a great idea!"

How to Make DIY Flowers
- Ribbon
- Buttons
- Floral wire
- Floral tape
- Needle
- Thread
- Scissors
- Glue gun
Note: You can use any width of ribbon; just vary the number of ribbons used to adjust for thicker or thinner ribbon.
- Here, I'm using a thin ribbon, so I cut 8 pieces, 6 inches long. Arrange the ribbons as shown with the centers overlapping. Put a small stitch or two through the center to hold them in place.
- Now, take the free ends and bring them into the center, like this, and secure with another stitch or two to hold them in place.
- Secure a button or two to the center either with a stitch or hot glue.
- Bend the floral wire in half and slide it under the stitches on the back of the flower to form a stem.
- Wrap the wire with floral tape to finish
- The next style of ribbon flower uses a thicker ribbon. I used 1 inch grosgrain, but any style of ribbon will do. You can see in the bouquet I also used a 2 inch sheer ribbon and it worked out just as well.
- Sew a basting stitch along the edge of the ribbon, like this:
- When you pull on the thread, the ribbon naturally gathers to form a flower. See?
- Thread a piece of floral wire through the holes in the button(s) and slide it through the center of the ribbon "flower". You can dot some hot glue onto the back of the button to secure it to the ribbon. Then, wrap the wire with floral tape, as before.
- Bonus Button Flower Tutorial: Stack your extra buttons in interesting combinations and thread them onto the extra floral wire for a button flower to accent your ribbon flower bouquet. Wrap the wire with floral tape as described previously.
- Place your bouquet on the nearest shelf, sip some lemonade, and dream of spring...

Another inexpensive, easy and extremely cute idea. All my favorite words. I have drawers of ribbon and I can't say how many buttons or someone will come with a net and take me away. Let's just say it's in the four digit numbers. Thank you for sharing this great idea

Chances are, if you have leftover buttons and ribbon, you have some leftover lace trim. Using the same procedure as above for grosgrain ribbon, gather the lace and secure with a few stitches. Put a button or bow in the center and you have another flower. You could also sew velcro to the back and use in the hair of children. These are so cute.

Is Google Allo better than WhatsApp?446 views
WhatsApp has definitely improved drastically since it first came into the picture but it still lacks the integration that Google provides.
Google recently rolled out its new instant messaging app Allo in an effort to compete with similar apps. The new app has been touted by Google to be one of the most efficient chatting app, available on both Android and iOS platforms.
However, with so many instant messaging apps available for consumers including the likes of Facebook Messenger, iMessage, and WhatsApp, what chance does it have to overturn the Facebook-owned app with more than billion users?
Well, Google has definitely spiced up Allo with a slew of new features including AI support. Here are a few smart elements that can help Google's latest chatting become the next big thing after WhatsApp.
Smart assistant: Google Allo is not the regular chat app that lets you converse with friends; the chatting app includes Google Assistant. This feature can help you determine travel time from one place to another, check out the cheapest flights to a certain destination, and discounts. You can accomplish all this by typing @google followed by your question. The assistant feature automatically furnishes the details you ask for. Though WhatsApp offers a lot of features, AI is not yet one of its strong points.
More convenient: Often while chatting on WhatsApp, users share content on the net; however, looking for content requires users to keep close WhatsApp or keep it in the background, which is rather inconvenient. Using the new Allo app, users can just search for varied content by typing @google, followed by the content — song, video or text — they want to share. In times of hurry, this new facet will significantly help users in comparison to WhatsApp.
Automatic texts: Another significant advantage Allo has over WhatsApp is the automatic response feature; it can reply automatically on behalf of the user. This feature also improves with time as it utilises machine-learning technology. So the more you use it, the better it gets at sending replies, based on your conversations.
Picture identification: The picture recognition feature on Google Allo allows it to recognise pictures and send replies accordingly. It might take a while to accurately identify the detailed pictures but simple ones like a lake, sunset or flower can be easily identified. It subsequently suggests replies to users based on the pictures.
Advanced formatting options: The formatting options of Google Allo have a range of creativity as compared to Facebook's WhatsApp. You can change the size of the fonts easily by sliding the send button up and down. Apart from that, it has a wide variety of sticker collection and even allows users to doodle.
A fully integrated app: WhatsApp has definitely improved drastically since it first came into the picture but it still lacks the integration that Google provides. Same is the case with Allo; Google has incorporated a slew of smart features and added Google search functionality, making communication much easier.
Though WhatsApp is currently the undisputed champion among instant messaging apps, the smart features integrated to Allo might oust the popular chatting app in future.

A graet appetizer. This dipping sauce is a little spicy
Ingredients Nutrition
4-6 24-30 croquettes US
- 12 ounces pheasant breast, cut into 1/2 pieces
- 4 ounces heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped oregano
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
- salt

DIANE ZION INDIVIDUALLY AND AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE OF NICHOLAS HANIOTAKIS. TAYLOR HANIOTAKIS, NIKKI HANIOTAKIS, BENJAMIN HANIOTAKIS, PLAINTIFFS,v.TROOPER SAMUEL NASSAN, SGT. TERRENCE DONNELLY, LT. DAVID HECKMAN, CAPT. SHELDON EPTEIN, COMMISSIONER FRANK PAWLOWSKI, MAJOR TERRY SEILHAMER INTHEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, DEFENDANTS.
MEMORANDUM OPINION and ORDER
Pending before this court are several motions for reconsideration. On December 29, 2009, defendant Trooper Samuel Nassan ("Nassan") filed a motion for sanctions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 (ECF No. 63). On January 26, 2010, three motions to dismiss were filed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6): (1) motion to dismiss amended complaint filed by Nassan (ECF No. 71), (2) motion to dismiss amended complaint filed by defendant Sergeant Terrence Donnelly ("Donnelly") (ECF No. 70), and (3) motion to dismiss filed by defendants Commissioner Frank Pawlowski, Major Terry Seilhamer, Captain Sheldon Epstein, and Lieutenant David Heckman (collectively "supervisory defendants," and together with Nassan and Donnelly, "defendants") (ECF No. 73). All three motions to dismiss and the motion for sanctions related to the amended complaint (ECF No. 54) filed by plaintiffs Diane Zion, Taylor Haniotakis, Nikki Haniotakis, and Benjamin Haniotakis (collectively "plaintiffs").
On July 23, 2010, the court issued a memorandum opinion and order ("Mem. Op." (ECF No. 86)) denying the motions to dismiss and motion for sanctions. On August 5, 2010, Nassan filed a motion for reconsideration (ECF No. 87). On August 6, 2010, supervisory defendants filed a motion for reconsideration (ECF No. 88). On August 25, 2010, Donnelly filed a motion for reconsideration and to join Nassan's August 5, 2010 motion (ECF No. 89). All three motions for reconsideration relate to the memorandum opinion and order dated July 23, 2010. For the reasons that follow, the motions will be denied.
Legal Standard
A motion to reconsider "must rely on at least one of three grounds: 1) intervening change in controlling law, 2) availability of new evidence not previously available, or 3) need to correct a clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice." Waye v. First Citizen's Nat'l Bank, 846 F. Supp. 310, 313-14 (M.D. Pa. 1994), aff'd, 31 F.3d 1175 (3d Cir. 1994). Because of the interest in finality, at least at the district court level, motions for reconsideration should be granted sparingly; the parties are not free to relitigate issues the court has already decided. Rottmund v. Continental Assurance Co., 813 F. Supp. 1104, 1107 (E.D. Pa. 1992). Stated another way, a motion for reconsideration is not properly grounded in a request for a district court to rethink a decision it, rightly or wrongly, has already made. Williams v. Pittsburgh, 32 F. Supp. 2d 236, 238 (W.D. Pa. 1998). With regard to the third ground, litigants are cautioned to ""evaluate whether what may seem to be a clear error of law is in fact simply a point of disagreement between the Court and the litigant.'" Id. at 314 n.3 (citing Atkins v. Marathon LeTourneau Co., 130 F.R.D. 625, 626 (S.D. Miss. 1990)).
Defendants argue the court erred in denying their motions to dismiss and motion for sanctions with respect to the claims asserted by plaintiffs arising from the death of Nicholas Haniotakis ("Mr. Haniotakis").*fn1 In the memorandum opinion, the court determined that, accepting the factual allegations raised in the amended complaint as true, plaintiffs established a plausible § 1983 claim for excessive force, in violation of Mr. Haniotakis's Fourth Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. The court reasoned the amended complaint did not contain allegations which would provide a basis for qualified immunity with respect to Nassan and Donnelly at that time. With respect to plaintiffs' claim pursuant to § 1983 against supervisory defendants, the court concluded plaintiffs alleged sufficient facts that if proven and believed could establish supervisory defendants violated Mr. Haniotakis's civil rights by acting with deliberate indifference to, or tacit authorization of, Nassan's conduct. With respect to Nassan's motion for sanctions, the court concluded Geoffrey N. Fieger, who is counsel for plaintiffs, under the circumstances did not violate Rule 11.
Defendants argue the memorandum opinion contains clear errors of fact, which caused the court to make clear errors of law.*fn2 Specifically, defendants contend the court misstated the position of defendants with respect to whether Mr. Haniotakis' car was "stopped" at the time Nassan and Donnelly opened fire. (Nassan's Mot. for Recons. ("Nassan's Mot.") (ECF No. 87) at 2.) Defendants assert the court erred when it "applied the presumption of truthfulness" to the "stopped" allegation because it "overlooked the facts proven by the police photographs" attached to Nassan's motion for sanctions. (Id. at 2, 10.) Because the court made these erroneous findings, defendants argue, the court applied incorrect legal standards to determine whether Nassan and Donnelly's actions were reasonable under the circumstances. (Id. at 14.) Defendants argue the court erred because it did not conduct Rule 11 hearings and because it treated the sanctions issues separately from the motions to dismiss. Finally, defendants assert the errors of fact led the court to postpone a determination of the qualified immunity issue.*fn3
Plaintiffs respond that defendants' arguments ignore the requirement that, at the motion to dismiss stage, factual allegations in the complaint must be accepted by the district court as true and the court must view the facts in a light most favorable to plaintiffs. (Pls.' Br. in Opp'n to Nassan's Mot. for Recons. ("Pls.' Br.") (ECF No. 90) at 5.) Plaintiffs argue defendants' "factual arguments are more appropriately reserved for a Rule 56 motion after discovery." (Id.) Plaintiffs assert the court properly held it would not consider defendants' photographs and other exhibits attached to Nassan's motion for sanctions in ruling upon the motions to dismiss, "since their consideration would convert the motions to dismiss into motions for summary judgment." (Id. at 8; Mem. Op. at 12 n.4.) Plaintiffs argue the photographs used by defendants do not depict the scene at the time of the shooting, or where the officers or vehicles were in relation to each other. (Pls.' Br. at 9.) Plaintiffs contend the photographs are not dispositive of whether Mr. Haniotakis posed a risk of harm to the officers or others, or whether his car was stopped at the time of the shooting. (Id.)
Defendants fail to show the availability of new evidence not previously available or an intervening change in controlling law to support the motions for reconsideration. Defendants' motions for reconsideration, therefore, are best understood as premised on a need to correct a clear error of law or to prevent manifest injustice. Defendants, however, did not meet this burden.
I. Timeliness of Donnelly's Motion for Reconsideration
The court does not view the instant motions for reconsideration as the "functional equivalent" of a Rule 59(e) motion seeking to alter or amend judgment. Plaintiffs filed an objection to Donnelly's motion for reconsideration as untimely because it was filed beyond Rule 59(e)'s twenty-eight-day time period following the court's order on July 23, 2010. (See Pls.' Mot. to Strike (ECF No. 93) ¶ 7.) On August 25, 2010, Donnelly filed his motion for reconsideration -- thirty-three days after the memorandum opinion and order dated July 23, 2010. Donnelly indicated his intent to join Nassan's motion for reconsideration dated August 5, 2010. (Donnelly Mot. for Recons. (ECF No. 89) ¶ 3.)
The Western District of Pennsylvania does not have a local rule requiring motions for reconsideration to be filed within a particular time period. Because the pending motions for reconsideration are not subject to the filing requirements under Rule 59(e) and plaintiffs point to no prejudice to them, the court views Donnelly's motion for reconsideration as timely filed.*fn4
II. Motions to Dismiss
In ruling upon a motion to dismiss, a court must accept as true all factual allegations raised in a complaint. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1950 (2009); see Vallies v. Sky Bank, 432 F.3d 493, 494 (3d Cir. 2006). The court does not, however, have to accept the truth of "legal conclusions couched as factual allegations" or ""[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements.'" Donnelly v. O'Malley & Langan, PC, No. 09-3910, 2010 WL 925869, at *2 (3d Cir. Mar. 16, 2010) (quoting Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. at 1949); see Mays v. Truppo, No. 09-4772, 2010 WL 715362, at **2-3 (D.N.J. Feb. 22, 2010) (noting that the first "working principle" set forth in Iqbal is that "the tenet that a court must accept as true all of the allegations contained in a complaint is inapplicable to legal conclusions").
a. Failure to State a Claim that Mr. Haniotakis's Fourth Amendment Rights were Violated
In the July 23, 2010 memorandum opinion, the court set forth its reasons for denying the motions to dismiss. The court found all conclusions in the complaint that Mr. Haniotakis was not a "threat of harm" to the police officers were not entitled to be accepted as true, because there were insufficient factual allegations to support the conclusion. (Mem. Op. at 8-9.) Conversely, evidence that Mr. Haniotakis had alcohol and other drugs in his system on the night of the incident did not establish as a matter of law that Mr. Haniotakis was operating his vehicle in an aggressive or reckless manner at the time of his death. (Id. at 11.)
The factual allegations in the amended complaint reflect that Mr. Haniotakis could not have been operating his vehicle in a reckless manner during the moments preceding his death because his vehicle was stopped. (Id.); see Boring v. Google, Inc., No. 09-2350, 2010 WL 318281, at *2 (3d Cir. Jan. 28, 2010) (noting that, although Iqbal provides that legal conclusions do not have to be accepted as true, the court "must accept the truth of all factual allegations in the complaint and must draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the non-movant") (emphasis added). The amended complaint contained allegations that the shooting occurred after the vehicular chase ended and after the area was or could have been secured from danger. Because of those factual allegations, the court applied the Fourth Amendment reasonableness factors promulgated in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989), to the actions of Nassan and Donnelly at the time of the shooting. (Mem. Op. at 14-15.) The court did not apply the Fourth Amendment caselaw of Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372 (2007), and other decisions that involved reckless driving because the court could not infer based upon the amended complaint "that Nicholas Haniotakis at the time he was shot was operating his vehicle in a reckless manner . . . ." (Mem. Op. at 15 (emphasis added).)
Even assuming Mr. Haniotakis was operating his vehicle recklessly during the chase, the factual allegations, viewed in plaintiffs' favor, reflect that Nassan and Donnelly used deadly force to seize Mr. Haniotakis which would be unreasonable under the circumstances if the allegations are proven to be true.
Nicholas Haniotakis stopped his vehicle and police officers had the ability to set up a barrier prior to opening fire upon him. The officers shot Nicholas Haniotakis in the back . . . . At this stage there are no factual allegations that would justify the use of deadly force in this situation, and the amended complaint adequately asserts actions of force on the part of Nassan and Donnelly that, in accordance with the principles set forth in Graham, were unreasonable under the circumstances alleged.
(Mem. Op. at 17.)
Defendants assert throughout the motions for reconsideration that the court mischaracterized the sequence of events involving the car chase and shooting because of plaintiffs' "blatantly deceptive pleading." (Nassan's Mot. at 4.) Defendants contend the court misunderstood their position with respect to whether Mr. Haniotakis's car was "stopped" at the time he was shot. (Id. at 2.) Defendants argue the car was not in a resting position at the time of the shooting; rather, the car was moving in reverse towards the officers. (Id. at 13.) Defendants assert they have produced "uncontested photographic evidence" that shows Mr. Haniotakis was engaged in a "continuous reckless flight" because the photographs depict Mr. Haniotakis's car crashed into a telephone pole blocks away from the scene of the shooting. (Id. at 11.) Defendants argue that if the court had properly considered the photographs and their position concerning whether the car was stopped, the court should have concluded the actions of Nassan and Donnelly were reasonable under the circumstances.
Defendants' argument is based upon a flawed premise. Defendants appear to ignore the court's obligation to consider the factual allegations raised in plaintiffs' amended complaint as true for purposes of deciding a motion to dismiss. Tellingly, defendants do not reference in their motions for reconsideration the legal principles set forth in Iqbal concerning motions to dismiss. Defendants instead attack the veracity of the factual allegations by introducing their own facts to support the position that Mr. Haniotakis was operating his vehicle recklessly before and at the time he was shot.
In ruling upon a motion to dismiss, a district court generally is "not permitted to go beyond the facts alleged in the [c]omplaint." In re Burlington Coat Factory Sec. Litig., 114 F.3d 1410, 1424-25 (3d Cir. 1997). "[A] court must consider only the complaint, exhibits attached to the complaint, matters of public record, as well as undisputedly authentic documents if the complainant's claims are based upon these documents." Mayer v. Belichick, 605 F.3d 223, 230 (3d Cir. 2010); see, e.g., Pension Benefit Guar. Corp. v. White Consol. Indus., Inc., 998 F.2d 1192, 1196 (3d Cir. 1993) (considering a contract attached as an exhibit to a motion to dismiss because the complaint's claims were based upon the contract). A court may also consider "legal arguments presented in memorandums or briefs and arguments of counsel." Pryor v. NCAA, 288 F.3d 548, 559 (3d Cir. 2006). A district court may look beyond those items and address the Rule 12(b)(6) motion as one requesting summary judgment. "The court is not permitted to look at matters outside the record; if such matters are considered, the [Federal Rule of Civil Procedure] 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss is, by the express terms of [Federal Rule of Civil Procedure] 12(b), converted into a motion for summary judgment." Id. at 560.
Nassan attached the photographs to his Rule 11 motion for sanctions and the photographs are outside the pleadings. Defendants do not assert the amended complaint's claims are based upon the photographs. Nassan acknowledged, and the court agrees, that such evidence should not be considered in analyzing the motions to dismiss. (See Br. in Supp. of Mot. for Sanctions (ECF No. 64) at 3 n.1; Mem. Op. at 12 n.4.) If the court considered such evidence, defendants' motions to dismiss would have been converted into a motion for summary judgment. See Season-All Indus., Inc. v. Turkiye Sise Ve Cam Fabrikalari, A.S., 425 F.2d 34, 36 (3d Cir. 1970) (a motion to dismiss with exhibits attached was properly treated under Rule 12(b) as a motion for summary judgment "since the motion contained factual allegations which were not already on the record"); Garlanger v. Verbeke, 223 F. Supp. 2d 596, 606 n.4 (D.N.J. 2002) (the court did not consider any of the attached exhibits in resolving the defendant' motion to dismiss, because doing so would cause the motion to be treated as a motion for summary judgment under Rule 56, and the plaintiff did not have a reasonable opportunity to present any evidentiary materials necessary to respond to such a motion).
The photographs attached to Nassan's Rule 11 motion may, if admissible and consistent with probative testimony, support the position that Mr. Haniotakis was operating his car in a reckless manner when he was shot, but a motion to dismiss is not the appropriate motion in which to raise these factual allegations. The court is not permitted to weigh the factual allegations in the amended complaint against those made by defendants to determine which facts are credible. That undertaking is not the function of the court. See, e.g., Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 254 (1986) ("Credibility determinations, the weighing of the evidence, and the drawing of legitimate inferences from the facts are jury functions, not those of a judge."); E.S. Originals Inc. v. Totes Isotoner Corp., No. 08-1945, 2010 WL 3305708, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 20, 2010) (""[A] disputed issue of fact . . . is inappropriate to consider in the context of a Rule 12(b)(6) motion.'") (alteration in original) (quoting DiBlasio v. Novello, 334 F.3d 292, 304 (2d Cir. 2003)).
In the memorandum opinion, the court discussed Nassan's position concerning whether the car was stopped at the time of the shooting, stating, "Nassan . . . does not specifically refute that Nicholas Haniotakis's car was stopped at the time he was shot -- Nassan argues it was stopped because Nicholas Haniotakis hit a telephone pole . . . ." (Mem. Op. at 37.) While Nassan asserted the car eventually stopped because it hit a telephone pole, he did not argue the car impacted the telephone pole at the time Mr. Haniotakis was shot. (See Nassan's Br. in Supp. of Mot. to Dismiss (ECF No. 72) at 4, 7; Nassan's Br. in Supp. of Mot. for Sanctions (ECF No. 64) at 3.) The motions to dismiss implicated that the car was stopped when Mr. Haniotakis was shot.
Nassan clarifies his position in the motion for reconsideration. He contends Mr. Haniotakis was shot while driving, continued driving, and crashed into a telephone pole which permanently stopped the vehicle. That clarification, however, does not change the outcome. See Liu v. Mukasey, 553 F.3d 37, 40 (1st Cir. 2009) (affirming the trial court's rejection of the petitioner's motion for reconsideration because "it failed to identify any material error of law or fact") (emphasis added); Somerville v. Snyder, No. 98-219, 2002 WL 202104, at *1 (D. Del. Feb. 4, 2002) ("A motion for reconsideration is not appropriate where the matter for reconsideration would not reasonably have altered the result previously reached by the court."). Nassan's argument now that Mr. Haniotakis's car was not stopped at the time of the shooting is disputed by the factual allegations in the amended complaint -- that the car was stopped when Nassan and Donnelly exited their vehicle and opened fire on Mr. Haniotakis. Because there is obviously a factual dispute regarding whether Mr. Haniotakis's car was stopped when he was shot in the back, the court must allow discovery to go forward in order for the parties and the court to have the benefit of a fully developed record. Defendants do not identify a clear error of law or manifest injustice committed by the court, and the motions for reconsideration are denied without prejudice for defendants to raise these issues in a motion for summary judgment based upon a fully developed record.*fn5
b. Qualified Immunity
In the memorandum opinion, the court held qualified immunity could not be established from the factual allegations on the face of the amended complaint. The court recognized the tension between the guarantees of qualified immunity and the requirements of notice pleading.
In light of that tension, the court did not hold plaintiffs to a higher pleading standard with respect to qualified immunity -- defendants have the burden of demonstrating that affirmative defense. (See Mem. Op. at 21.) The court permitted defendants to file answers asserting the factual allegations which support their claims to qualified immunity and required plaintiffs to reply to the answers in order to address the qualified immunity defense as soon as possible. The court's analysis of the alleged errors does not change the court's previous findings with respect to qualified immunity -- the factual allegations in the amended complaint do not show defendants can demonstrate qualified immunity. The parties are directed to follow the court's instructions outlined in the memorandum opinion. An order will be entered to change the date by which an answer and reply must be filed.
III. Motion for Sanctions
Nassan's arguments in his motion for reconsideration with respect to the court's errors in considering the Rule 11 motion are intertwined with his arguments concerning the motions to dismiss -- that the court misunderstood his position with respect to whether the car was stopped, and that the court failed to consider properly the photographs and other evidence. In the memorandum opinion, the court analyzed Nassan's Rule 11 motion in detail. (See Mem. Op. 36-40.) Nassan's arguments for reconsideration of the Rule 11 motion do not raise any new material factual issues, and the arguments do not depart from arguments already considered supra regarding the motions to dismiss. The court will not reconsider its holding concerning the Rule 11 motion. See Rottmund, 813 F. Supp. at 1107.
For the reasons set forth above, and in the July 23, 2010 memorandum opinion and order entered in the above-captioned civil action, the motions for reconsideration shall be and hereby are denied.
THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that the motion for reconsideration filed by Trooper Samuel Nassan (ECF No. 87), the motion for reconsideration filed by Commissioner Frank Pawlowski, Major Terry Seilhamer, Captain Sheldon Epstein, and Lieutenant David Heckman (ECF No. 88), and the motion for reconsideration filed by Sergeant Terence Donnelly (ECF No. 89) are DENIED.
THE COURT FURTHER ORDERS that defendants shall file answers to the amended complaint by November 11, 2010, and that, within twenty-one days of the filing of the answers, plaintiffs must file a reply responding to the factual allegations in the answers. This ruling is without prejudice to defendants' ability to file motions for judgment on the pleadings with respect to qualified immunity after plaintiffs reply to the answers.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. JAMES
J. MEJDA, Judge, presiding.
This appeal is to review a judgment that convicted defendant of indecent liberties with a child. A two-count indictment charged that he had sexual intercourse with an 11-year-old girl; and with intent to arouse and satisfy his sexual desires and those of the child, he lewdly fondled and touched her. *fn1 A jury heard the case and returned a verdict of guilty. After overruling post-trial motions, the trial court admitted defendant to five years probation with the first four months to be served in the Chicago House of Correction.
To reverse, defendant contends that errors of law were committed when the trial court denied him a physical examination of the complaining child, refused to allow his expert witness to answer a hypothetical question, admitted a conversation between the child and her mother, permitted the complaining child to testify concerning alleged prior sex incidents with him, refused to take judicial notice of a fact and admitted improper evidence. We have examined defendant's contentions and determine that the trial court did not commit error. An opinion discussing the legal questions generated by these contentions would have no precedential value because they have been decided in other cases. See People v. Glover, 49 Ill.2d 78, 273 N.E.2d 367; People v. Moretti, 6 Ill.2d 494, 129 N.E.2d 709; People v. Hill, 60 Ill. App.2d 239, 208 N.E.2d 662; People v. Sanders, 2 Ill. App.3d 82, 275 N.E.2d 750; People v. Cunningham, 132 Ill. App.2d 519, 270 N.E.2d 147; People v. Holloman, 46 Ill.2d 311, 263 N.E.2d 7.
• 1 Defendant contends that the State knowingly relied on false testimony to obtain his conviction. In our judgment, the record does not support this contention. See People v. Grayson, 29 Ill.2d 229, 193 N.E.2d 801.
• 2 Defendant contends that the closing argument of the two assistant State's Attorneys prejudiced his right to a fair trial. It is settled, however, that where evidence of guilt is clear and convincing, a conviction will not be reversed because of improper argument by a prosecuting attorney unless it appears that the argument may have influenced the result or the verdict would have been otherwise had the argument not been made. (People v. Tyson, 130 Ill. App.2d 140, 264 N.E.2d 403.) Defendant does not show how he was prejudiced by the argument; nor does he show that the argument influenced the result in the case or that the verdict would have been otherwise had it not been made. See People v. Hines, 30 Ill.2d 152, 195 N.E.2d 712.
• 3 Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction. We have examined the record and find that the evidence is not so unsatisfactory as to leave a reasonable doubt as to defendant's guilt. (See People v. Dorsey, 57 Ill. App.2d 389, 206 N.E.2d 762; People v. Wendt, 104 Ill. App.2d 192, 244 N.E.2d 384; People v. Henderson, 119 Ill. App.2d 403, 256 N.E.2d 84.) Therefore, finding that no error of law appears in this record, and being satisfied that the evidence proved defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, we affirm.
This opinion is filed and the cause disposed in compliance with Supreme Court Rule 23 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1972, ch. 110A, par. 23), adopted effective January 31, 1972.
Judgment affirmed.
