Wal-Mart) Integration - Causal Chains and Strategy
Wal-Mart Integration - Causal Chains and Strategy
Walmart's emergence as a global leader of mass merchandising and discount retailing is attributable to the company's continual pursuit of excellence in supply chain management, logistics, advanced reverse logistics processes and an exceptionally strong analytically-driven corporate culture. Walmart openly admits in their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in their annual reports that they have their own satellite network, often renting the majority of transporters on satellites circling earth today to transport sales-out, promotion results and pricing analysis from each store directly to its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas (WalMart Investor Relations, 2013). Walmart's data-centric culture resembles the Untied Parcel Service (UPS) from the perspective of supply chain planning, execution and optimization (Alghalith, 2005). Walmart also invests heavily in the areas of advanced material handling technologies including Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to continually improve the accuracy and speed of performance in all distribution centers (Powanga, Powanga, 2008).
The balanced scorecard (BSC) approach is a very useful tool for galvanizing the many functional areas of an organization together in pursuit of a common vision and mission. Combining learning and growth, internal business processes, customer and financial objectives, measures, targets and actions into a unified strategy eliminates distractions and keeps an organization focused on its vision, mission, sort and long-range objectives (Kaplan, Norton, 2001). The BSC approach is also indispensable for enabling a thorough causal chain analysis of an organization, which can quickly highlight areas for process performance improvements (Kaplan, Norton, 2001). The BSC framework and causal chain analysis is especially well suited for Walmart as supply chain management's many process areas have a high degree of variability and dependence on other departments throughout the company (Park, Min, Park, 2011). This analysis progresses through a balanced scorecard analysis of Walmart based on learning and growth, internal business, customer and financial perspectives. Table 1 provides a consolidated analysis of Walmart Operations based on previous analysis of each of these four vital functional areas of Walmart. Please see the Appendix to see the individual tables for learning and growth, internal business perspective, customer perspective and financial perspective. Table 1 is the foundation of casual chain analysis completed in this analysis as well.
Consolidated Analysis of Walmart Operations and Casual Chain Analysis
The BSC framework architected to analyze Walmart performance is balanced between their supply chain and logistics expertise that rivals the United Parcel Service (Alghalith, 2005) and the company's intensive reliance on analytics and metrics. Marketing at Walmart is based on thorough customer analysis using advanced predictive analytics software in conjunction with intensive research into the personas, or aggregate representations of their customer segments (Frazier, 2006). Continual supply chain performance, logistics and pricing improvements are the highest priorities for Walmart, all galvanized around keeping the loyalty of the Price Value Shopper. The distribution of customer segments by customer loyalty is shown to the right.

Provide Six Sigma Black Belt training internally to provide opportunities for employees to gain greater mastery of this area; measure and reward on-the-job performance increases
Increase training on advanced analytics applications from IBM, SAS and other vendors who provide price optimization technologies
Offering Six Sigma Black Belt training and certification will also help with this specific objective, as will paying bonuses to those managers who deliver the greatest gains in supply chain performance.
Over the last decade Walmart has continued to pursue a demand management-based supply chain strategy that is increasingly defined by forecasts and less by purely theoretical optimization strategies (Zhu, Singh, Manuszak, 2009). Lessons learned from failures in Germany and South Korea (Christopherson, 2007) and the turn-around in international operations as evidenced by their success in China (Ming-Ling, Donegan, Ganon, Kan, 2011) served to further validate a very customer-centric demand management supply chain strategy. As a result, as the Price Value Shopper goes in terms of demand forecast, so go much of the focus and prioritization within the Walmart supply chain. This makes supply chain responsiveness to all customer, especially, the Price Vale Shopper, a very high priority. Figure 1, Causal Chain Analysis for Increasing Supply Chain Accuracy and Speed takes into account the high priority of keeping the Price Value Shopper loyal and also alleviating stock-outs with a major factor in shoppers in discount retailers going to other stores (Rosenblum, 2004). This is the most strategic aspect of the Walmart business model, hence its analysis as a casual chain analysis.
Figure 1: Causal Chain Analysis for Increasing Supply Chain Accuracy and Speed
Figure 1, Causal Chain Analysis for Increasing Supply Chain Accuracy and Speed illustrates how Walmart can quickly use investments in training supply chain managements in advanced optimization techniques to drive greater pricing accuracy. This strategy is consistent with their internal culture that places a high value on analytics (Duke, 2010). It is a strategy that addresses the inherent complexities of operating a business model that is highly dependent…[continue]

Wal-Mart Marketing Mix Wal-Mart Stores (|NYSE: WMT) closed it latest fiscal year with $103.8B in revenues, growing 4% over the previous fiscal year (WalMart Investor Relations, 2012), a remarkable accomplishment given the recessionary climate of the U.S. And other westernized nations. Wal-Mart's ability to withstand economically challenging times is directly linked to how well they synchronize their product, pricing, promotion and distribution strategies using an extensive information systems architecture (Wang, 2006).
Wal-Mart faces an industry that is generally challenging, but its strength in the industry results in the industry being favorable. Wal-Mart's success is predicated on excellence execution of key components of the discount retail value chain -- procurement, logistics and merchandising. Wal-Mart has numerous strengths, but as befits the world's largest company it has relatively few weaknesses. In its intensely competitive businesses, Wal-Mart sees many threats, but there are still
The Price-Sensitive Affluents, Wal-Mart has learned (Wal-Mart Annual Reports) is more interested in finding an exceptionally good deal and not necessarily concerned about the shopping experience.

Mains signalling system (2):
Mains signalling is a method by which signals can be superimposed on mains wiring for the remote control of electrical equipment. It was first proposed by two Swiss inventors, Routin and Brown, who patented the method to control street lighting in 1896. The technique is weil established and accepted in the USA, but in this country and Europe interest in it as a medium for communication has begun only in the late 1980s. This article deals with a system for use in horne automation. The main advantages of the system are ease of installation, flexibility and relatively low cost (because it uses existing mains wiring.

Twicca Review: A Versatile Twitter App for Android
Generic Company Place Holder twicca
Twicca is a Twitter app for Android that's loaded with features, such as support for Twitter lists, image-upload resizing, color-coded labels, and sharing to other apps. Among other helpful functions, it offers reply history, reply auto-complete, saved searches, recent hashtags, quoted retweets, GPS location geotagging, notifications, Bit.ly link shortening, and image previews. You can also use the app to edit your profile and change your avatar image, and you can adjust the font size in Settings.
One of Twicca's most interesting features is its support for a wide variety of third-party plug-ins that add functionality. Some of my favorites include URLy, a link shortener on steroids; Filckr, which helps you upload images to Flickr and embed the link in a tweet; the Tumblr plugin for uploading media or other files to Tumblr and embedding the link in a tweet, and the Image Download Plugin, which lets you download and save images embedded in tweets.
Twicca is in many ways the best Twitter client I have tried, except for two shortcomings: It does not support multiple Twitter accounts or scheduled tweets. You may have no need for those features, however--and if that's the case, I highly recommend that you give Twicca a try.
You might also like Mustard, a Twitter and Identi.ca client app that supports multiple accounts, or HootSuite, which supports scheduled tweets.

United States District Court, Ninth Circuit
January 22, 2014
BASEL ACTION NETWORK, et al., Plaintiffs,v.U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, et al., Defendants.
ROBERT G. DREHER, Acting Assistant Attorney General Environment & Natural Resources Division United States Department of Justice, LESLIE M. HILL (D.C. Bar No. 476008), Environmental Defense Section, Washington D.C., Attorneys for Defendants.
AMANDA W. GOODIN (WSB #41312), TODD D. TRUE (WSB #12864), [Appearing Pro Hac Vice], Earthjustice, Seattle, WA, Attorneys for Plaintiffs.
Gregory C. Loarie, Earthjustice, San Francisco, CA, Local Counsel for Plaintiffs.
EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, Defendant United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and Gina McCarthy, Administrator, U.S. EPA, in her official capacity (collectively "Defendants"), and the Basel Action Network ("BAN"), Sierra Club, and Center for Biological Diversity (collectively "Plaintiffs"), hereby stipulate to and request an order continuing the Case Management Conference ("CMC") currently set for February 4, 2014 (Dkt. No. 62) to February 11, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 5, 17th Floor, San Francisco. The Court previously stayed all proceedings, in part, to allow EPA to act on the portion of Plaintiffs' petition requesting that EPA take certain actions under the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act ("MPRSA") (Dkt. No. 61). The stay expired on December 31, 2013. EPA has not yet taken action on the MPRSA portion of Plaintiffs' petition. EPA reasonably expects to act by January 29, 2014. The parties agree that until Plaintiffs consider EPA's response to the MPRSA portion of the petition, they cannot effectively meet and confer on how to proceed with the pending case. Accordingly, the parties request that the CMC be continued until February 25, 2014, the next available CMC date that counsel for both parties is available, and that the case management statement be due on February 18, 2014.
Lead counsel for EPA is located in Washington, D.C., and, due to current government budgetary restrictions, has not received approval to travel to San Francisco for the CMC. No local Department of Justice attorneys are assigned to this matter and no other Department of Justice attorneys have worked on this matter in any capacity. Lead counsel for Plaintiffs is located in Seattle, WA and does not object to this request so long as both parties appear telephonically.
Therefore, for the reasons stated above, the parties request that they both be allowed to appear and participate telephonically at the February 25, 2014 initial CMC.
Pursuant to Stipulation, the case management conference is continued until February 27, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 5, 17th Floor, San Francisco. The case management statement shall be due February 20, 2014.
Further, before the Court is the parties' Joint Request to Appear Telephonically on February 27, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. Upon due consideration, and for good cause shown, the parties' request is hereby GRANTED. It is further ordered that
- counsel will call the following number to participate in the hearing:
X Plaintiffs' counsel will be called at (206) 343-7340 ext. 1020 and Defendants' counsel will be called at (202) 514-0375 to participate in the hearing. Counsel will be available from 9:00 am until the call occurs.

I bought this to make body sprays and scented misters for linens. It does the job although the oils don't mix right away. I noticed a day after shaking it all together, it seemed to be mixed okay. Overall, I am happy with the product.
Posted by Shelley on 7th Apr 2016
I've been using this product for quite some time… I've read reviews that have said that it turns their product a milky color. I have found that depends on the fragrance and the amount that you add. If you add too much fragrance, it's going to turn a milky color. I've also read reviews that said it doesn't mix well with fragrance or a essential oils. This is a water-based product, oils are not going to mix well with it. You'll either have to write "shake before use" on your bottle or use a essential oil/fragrance oil modifier. When I use the modifier, it's crystal clear and blends perfectly.
I will continue to buy this product!
Posted by Misti Anderson on 17th Mar 2016
I love this base but it leaves some of my body sprays milky, I noticed that some of you said the same but some of you didn't, for those of you that didn't how do you make it clear.... thanks in advance for your help and I will definitely be buying again :)
Posted by Unknown on 17th Mar 2016
Great value, met expectations based on item description & reviews. I've been diluting with a 50/50 distilled water mix to stretch the value & have found the fragrance to be long lasting & the product uncompromised. I was a little surprised to find the mist tends to suds/foam up a bit when sprayed.
Posted by Gregory on 18th Feb 2016
Bought it to blend with fragrance and after shaking to blend it the product turn milky white;but I read that it was going to happen so no big deal to me.I will continue to use it.
Posted by Phyllis with Things Revisited on 10th Feb 2016
I tested the Unscented Body Mist and Linen spray for the first time. I love the way it handled with essential and fragrance oils. The eo/fo blended beautifully, the scents stayed clear, clean and sharp. No staining or skin problems when tested. I would highly recommend it for body and linen spray products.
Posted by Unknown on 13th Jan 2016
This is good stuff for the two products I make that have nothing to do with body/linen. It makes for a good sage spray and insect repellent.
Posted by Unknown on 24th Nov 2015
The product is good. Arrived on time.
Posted by Michael Baker on 4th Oct 2015
While I do really like this product and the concept of body spray and linen spray together, every one of the body sprays I made with fragrance oil turned milky white. I used colored, transparent bottles, so this did affect my finished product. I have changed to a solid bottle to eliminate the need for explaining the milky color. I contact BA about this and they said it happens. So, just be aware that fragrance oil added will turn your solution from clear to milky.
Posted by Unknown on 3rd Oct 2015
I purchased this as a medium to make homemade fragrances and linen sprays with both fragrance oils and essential oils. To date, it has worked beautifully! I have not a single complaint. There is no fuss or muss, no sticky or slimy feeling on the skin, no reactions, and no staining of any fabrics. So far, it has not discolored with any of my oils (of which I have many!). I was hoping to decrease my stash with this, but I think I'll need more as not much is required for a strong scent with this base - a happy surprise. I will be back for more and would most certainly recommend it to those interested.

"Feminist Cyberspaces: Pedagogies in Transition" is a collection of essays exploring the ways in which new media technologies are being used in the feminist "classroom." The collection has been structured to reflect the multifaceted nature of education today- learning takes place on a personal level through independent study and social media, it takes place at a local level in our classrooms and lecture halls, but it is also increasingly taking place on a global scale as new technologies foster international collaboration between individuals and organizations. In addition, there is a growing acceptance of learning in the collaborative 3-D classrooms of virtual worlds. These educational spaces are not mutually exclusive, as the contributions to this volume make clear. The anthology explores how technology is being used in antiviolence teaching, art education, HIV and AIDS education, and other specialized topics, but it also gives many examples of innovations in teaching introductory courses. The technology used ranges from the implementation of course management systems for large university classes to the use of digital storytelling in small groups outside the university. It also explores technology for removing barriers to people with disabilities in both traditional and online classrooms. The collection is not a "how to" book, but it does use practical experience as a basis for feminist theorizing of the classroom. All of the essays look at the use of new technology in the light of feminist pedagogy, seeking new ways to foster provocative, creative and non-hierarchical learning that transcends the physical boundaries of the university.

Good 3.8 /5 from 152 reviews
The front desk person was very helpful in directing us to a local late night supermarket nearby. They breakfast was plentiful and the attendant graciously offered to make fresh cappuccinos for no extra charge.
Great hotel, neighborhood, and staff. We'd stay there again and recommend it highly. Wifi was fine as we were able to download podcasts etc.
Great central location with a nice breakfast included. Staff was extremely nice & honest:)
Great location near to the Lago di Como and good eating places. But in our room the Window shutter did not work and we could not use the room safety box. However the price was Ok and we will use it again in the future.
The location was fantastic and the breakfast was okay. The room itself (typical of much of Europe) was very small, but the bathroom was better than most. The staff was friendly and professional. Would recommend travelers in the area.

Young actors pump life into Acacia's 'Searching for David's Heart'
It's hard enough to lose a loved one. Try being indirectly responsible for that person's death — during a fight in which lingering last words are uttered in anger, leaving no time for a proper goodbye.
That's the hell engulfing 12-year-old Darcy Deeton in Cherie Bennett's "Searching for David's Heart," currently being staged by Christian-based Acacia Theatre, in a production that opened over the weekend under Rob Goodman's direction. »Read Full Article
Jazz masters bring Newport Jazz Festival to Wilson Center
Sixty years ago this summer, jazz musicians and fans established an unlikely beachhead in Newport, R.I., to the annoyance of some uppity mansion-owners.

In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article

Especially You Lyrics
Artist: Don Williams
Album: Especially for You
I see the rainbow in your eyes, I see the clouds pass me by
I sure like the things my eyes can do, especially when they see you
I hear the music of this day, I sure like the songs this world can play
But most of all I like your tune, when you whisper I love you
My senses don€™t like, I get a definite high
When you€™re near I feel clear off the ground
Reach for my arms, and I will give you the stars
There is nothing that is holding us down
I touch the textures of this earth,
I felt for the good and I felt for the worse
But I never knew what a touch could do until I was touched by you

Shell script to use grep with gvim

This tip is deprecated for the following reasons:
Use Vim's built-in :grep or :vimgrep command instead.
created November 21, 2006 · complexity basic · author Mauro · version 6.0
With bash or ksh add on .bashrc or on .kshrc:
function vimgrep { vimgrep_temp_file=/tmp/vimgrep_$$.tmp find . \( -name "*.cc" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.i" -o -name "*.icc" \) -print -follow | grep -v "CVS/" | sed "s/ /\\\/g" | xargs egrep -H -n -e $* > $vimgrep_temp_file gvim -q $vimgrep_temp_file -c copen rm $vimgrep_temp_file }
and type from shell:
$ vimgrep searchstring
In Vim you can set grepprg to vimgrep:
:set grepprg=vimgrep
fix: In Vim set grepprg=vimgrep where vimgrep is:
find . \( -name "*.cc" -o -name "*.h" -o -name "*.i" -o -name "*.icc" \) -print -follow | grep -v "CVS/" | sed "s/ /\\\/g" | xargs egrep -H -n -e
Why not use the built-in :vimgrep command?
Yes It's correct anyway If we want to grep recursively all the *.cc *.h *.i we have to redefine the grepprg corectly
If your shell is zsh, or another that supports similar extended globbing you can just use:
:grep foo **/*.c
to do pretty much the same thing.
I did something very similar to this a while ago, and I agree it's very useful to do this from the shell. However, because I use it in all kinds of ways, I prefer to just have the shell script vimgrep emulate grep exactly. So that I can do:
find /etc | xargs vimgrep userid (for example)
So my vimgrep shell script behaves just like grep does and takes all greps args. It also doesn't bother starting Vim if grep returns zero matches.
#!/bin/bash date=`date +%s`; grep -n "$@" > /tmp/grep-$date fs=`du -b /tmp/grep-$date | cut -f1` if [ $fs -gt 0 ] then gvim -q /tmp/grep-$date fi rm /tmp/grep-$date
I have another variant of the above that's a little cleaner, a little nicer:
#!/bin/sh if [ "$1" == "" ]; then echo "Usage : $0 <grep arguments>" echo " eg: $0 -i string *.v" exit 255 fi file=/tmp/vimgrep.$$ if grep -m 1 -l "$@" > $file; then echo "Calling vim on these files :" cat $file | sed -e 's/^/ /;' grep -n "$@" > $file vim -q $file else echo "No match found." fi rm $file
I built on the above to allow grep to pipe to vim. It's nice to use like this
grep something * | grep -v removeotherthing | vimgrep
I open the temp file in vim so that I might edit it if I have to remove someotherthing and then save and cfile %.
#!/bin/sh if [ "$1" == "-h" ]; then echo "Usage : $0 <grep arguments>" echo " eg: $0 -i string *.v" echo "Usage : grep <args> | $0" exit 255 fi file=/tmp/vimgrep.$$ if [ "$1" == "" ]; then cat > $file; fs=`du $file | cut -f1` if [ $fs -eq 0 ]; then echo "No match found." exit; else awk '/^[^:]+\:[0-9]+\:/ { exit 0; } NR == 2 {exit 1}' $file if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then echo "You must use grep -H -n to have the right format for vim." exit 1; fi fi else if grep -m 1 -l "$@" > $file; then echo "Calling vim on these files :" cat $file | sed -e 's/^/ /;' grep -H -n "$@" > $file else echo "No match found." exit; fi fi vim $file -c "cfile $file" -c "copen" </dev/tty rm $file

The Financial State of the NHL
December 5, 2011 1 Comment
With Forbes' recently released 2011 NHL Valuations, it is now possible to take a look inside the NHL and perhaps get a better idea of what state the league is in financially.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, yet again, rank atop the league's elite, with a value of $521 million – directly ahead of the New York Rangers, who come in at $507 million. The Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, and Chicago Blackhawks round up the top six (ironically, all Original Six teams) with values of $445 million, $336 million, $325 million, and $306 million, respectively. All six of these teams saw an increase in their value from last year, with the Rangers increasing by 10 percent.
Altogether, the average value of NHL teams increased by about five percent (5.07, to be exact) to $240 million. The average NHL team is also worth about 47 percent more than it was worth before the lockout in 2004-05. The five teams that saw the largest increase were the Tampa Bay Lightning (20 percent), Vancouver Canucks (15 percent), Edmonton Oilers (16 percent), Washington Capitals (14 percent), and Winnipeg Jets (21 percent, although the majority of the increase is due to the relocation from Atlanta). Twenty-one of the league's 30 teams saw an increase in value, while two teams remained about the same.
The Maple Leafs led the league in operating income, with $81.8 million. The Canadiens and Rangers were next in line, with operating income of $47.7 million and $41.4 million, respectively. The Vancouver Canucks also saw a large amount of operating income, with $23.5 million – most likely due to the high number of home playoff games last season.
Now to the negatives of the business release: the Phoenix Coyotes rank last in the league, yet again, at a value of $134 million. The team also reportedly had an operating income of -$24.4 million, easily the lowest in the league. Right behind the Coyotes are the New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets, with values of $149 million and $152 million, respectively. Each of the two teams ended the season with a loss, losing $8.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively.
One of the darkest parts of this annual report was the NHL's operating income, which dropped 21 percent to $126 million – something that will most likely need to be addressed when the league and the NHL Players' Association begins negotiating a new Collective Bargaining Agreement in the upcoming months. This number led to a profit margin of just 4.2 percent.
Two teams that, although have average values, but are struggling to pay the bills, are the New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars. Having just been sold to a bright new owner who looks to be setting the team in the right direction, the Stars should hopefully be able to overcome their debt-to-equity ratio of 126 percent. The Devils, on the other hand, have an abnormally high ratio of 144 percent, which suggests they are struggling to be profitable (the Devils had an operating income of -$6.1 million last year, while the Stars' was -$1.1 million). Debt-to-equity ratio is the relative proportion of debt and shareholders' equity that is being used to cover a company's assets. A number over 100 percent is unreasonably high and can suggest trouble for any company, specifically that of a professional sports team. In comparison, the Rangers, Red Wings, and Blackhawks have debt-to-equity ratios of zero.
Altogether, the league should be happy with the health of the majority of their franchises. However, they need to ensure that expenses manage to stay down in the next few years – something that will be addressed with the salary cap negotiations and potential salary cutbacks in the next CBA. The salary cap is currently set to 57 percent of revenue, but with the league's struggling operating income, expect that to drop closer to a number between 48 and 52 percent.
Local Team – The Philadelphia Flyers saw a decrease in value for the first time in many years, dropping four percent to a value of $290 million. They managed to stay in the black, ending with an operating income of $3.2 million, the second least of any team in the top eight of the league. They rank eighth in the league, and the second of any non-Original Six franchise. The Flyers were the only team in the top-18 to drop in value from last year.

DE LA TORRE-FLORES, ET AL.,PLAINTIFF,v.NAPOLITANO, ET AL.,DEFENDANTS.
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO JUDGMENT DISMISS OR FOR SUMMARY [Doc. No. 13]
Presently before the Court is Defendants'*fn1 Motion to Dismiss or for Summary Judgment. [Doc. No. 13.] For the reasons stated below, the Court GRANTS Defendants' motion to dismiss for both lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim, and GRANTS Defendants' motion for summary judgment. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
I. Facts
This case is brought by Plaintiffs Juan De La Torre-Flores ("Torre-Flores"), a citizen and current resident of Mexico, and Servando De La Torre ("De La Torre"), a citizen of the United States and Torre-Flores's son. [See Doc. No. 1.] It arises out of the June 1998 expedited removal of Torre-Flores. [See, e.g., Doc. No. 1 at 6.]*fn2
Torre-Flores had been residing undocumented in the United States since 1989, when, in May 1998, he left to visit family in Mexico. [Id.] Attempting to return, on June 16, 1998, he applied for admission to the United States at the San Ysidro port of entry with "documentation not lawfully issued to him." [Id.] Having presented false documentation, he was subject to expedited removal proceedings, removed to Mexico on June 17, 1998, and barred from readmission for five years. [Id.] The next day, he reentered the United States without inspection. [Id.]
On May 11, 2007, Torre-Flores filed an application to adjust status and a request for a waiver of grounds of inadmissability resulting from his prior removal order. [Id. at 7.] On June 19, 2009, both were denied by the Department of Homeland Security, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. [Id.] On March 24, 2010, Department of Homeland Security officials apprehended Torre-Flores, reinstated removal proceedings and removed him to Mexico, and instituted a twenty-year bar to his readmission. [Id.] Torre-Flores currently resides in Mexico and seeks to immigrate to the United States through a visa petition filed on his behalf by De La Torre [Id.]
II. Procedural History
On November 11, 2011, Plaintiffs (erroneously referring to themselves as "Petitioners") filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief, which requested that the Court assume jurisdiction, declare that the Immigration and Naturalization Service erred in placing Torre-Flores in expedited removal proceedings, and mandate that immigration officials allow Torre-Flores to enter the United States as a lawful permanent resident. [Doc. No. 1.]
On November 30, 2011, the Court (treating the complaint as mislabeled, i.e., a petition) ordered Defendants (erroneously referred to as "Respondents" by Plaintiffs) to show cause why the petition should not be granted. [Doc. No. 3.] On December 23, 2011, Defendants filed a response to the Court's Order to Show Cause, contending that as an action for relief in the nature of mandamus, this action had to proceed as a complaint, not as a petition. [Doc. No. 4.] On January 25, 2012, the Court discharged its Order to Show Cause as improvidently issued. [Doc. No. 8.]
On February 27, 2012, Defendants answered the complaint, [Doc. No. 9.], and on April 20, 2012, the parties participated in an Early Neutral Evaluation before Magistrate Judge William Gallo, who ordered Defendants to file a motion for summary judgment. [See Doc. Nos. 11, 12.] On May 21, 2012, Defendants filed the present Motion to Dismiss or for Summary Judgment, [Doc. No. 13.], Plaintiffs filed an opposition on June 25, 2012, [Doc. No. 15], and Defendants filed a reply on July 6, 2012, [Doc. No. 17]. The Court heard oral argument from the parties on July 23, 2012. [See Doc. No. 18.]
Plaintiffs' complaint presents two questions:
1. Was Torre-Flores's June 1998 expedited removal order erroneous?; and
2. Does the expedited removal regime itself run afoul of the Suspension Clause?
Because neither question falls within this Court's jurisdiction, the Court GRANTS Defendants' motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). Moreover, even were jurisdiction proper, Plaintiffs fail to state any cognizable legal theory or to raise any dispute as to material fact. Thus, the Court additionally GRANTS Defendants' motions to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and for summary judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56.
I. Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction
"Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction." Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375, 377 (1994). Where, as here, a party moves to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), "[i]t is to be presumed that a cause lies outside this limited jurisdiction, and the burden of establishing the contrary rests upon the party asserting jurisdiction." Id.
A. No Jurisdiction Over Challenge to Expedited Removal Order
As to Plaintiffs' challenge to Torre-Flores's June 1998 expedited removal, the four asserted bases for jurisdiction*fn3 fail because this Court's jurisdiction over expedited removal orders is explicitly and severely limited by the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA").*fn4 The INA states in pertinent part:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law (statutory or non-statutory), including section 2241 of Title 28, or any other habeas corpus provision, and sections 1361 and 1651 of such title, no court shall have jurisdiction to review . . . except as provided by [1252(e)], any individual determination or to entertain any other cause or claim arising from or relating to the implementation or operation of an order of [expedited] removal."
8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(A).
The Ninth Circuit holds that this statute "strictly circumscribes the scope of review of expedited removal orders to the grounds enumerated in § 1252(e)," which in turn "expressly limit the scope of such review to habeas petitions alleging that the petitioner is not an alien or was never subject to an expedited removal order." Garcia de Rincon v. Dept. of Homeland Sec., 539 F.3d 1133, 1138 (9th Cir. 2008); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e). Moreover, § 1252(e)(5) flatly states: "There shall be no review of whether the alien is actually inadmissible or entitled to any relief from removal." 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e)(5). Thus, "[b]y the clear operation of these statutes," federal courts "are jurisdictionally barred" from hearing direct challenges to expedited removal orders. Garcia de Rincon, 539 F.3d at 1139; see also Lorenzo v. Mukasey, 508 F.3d 1278, 1282 (10th Cir. 2007) ("Petitioner's 1998 removal order was issued pursuant to § 1225(b)(1). As a result, we lack jurisdiction to review any constitutional or statutory claims related to the underlying removal order in this case.")
Plaintiffs concede all of this. [See Doc. No. 15 at 5-6 ("Defendants correctly point out that review of an expedited removal order . . . can only be sought through a petition for writ of habeas corpus . . . [and such] habeas review is limited to determinations as to whether (1) the habeas petitioner is an alien; (2) he is the actual person named in the order . . .").] Moreover, Plaintiffs concede that this action is not and cannot be sought by habeas petition and, even if it were, it does not fit any of the narrow subsets of habeas review allowed. [See Doc. No. 15 at 6 ("Plaintiff De La Torre does not assert that he falls within any of the above stated [habeas determinations] . . . [he] cannot avail himself of the remedy of habeas corpus.")]. These uncontested facts result in this Court's lack of jurisdiction to review Torre-Flores's 1998 expedited removal. See Garcia de Rincon, 539 F.3d at 1139.
B. No Jurisdiction Over Constitutional Challenge to Removal Regime
This court also lacks jurisdiction to hear Plaintiffs' "general
attacks on the expedited removal process." U.S. v. Barragan-Camarillo,
460 Fed.Appx. 637, 639 (9th Cir. 2011) (quoting U.S. v.
Barajas-Alvarado, 655 F.3d 1077, 1086 n.10 (9th Cir. 2011)). Pursuant
to 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e)(3), titled "Challenges on validity of the
system," jurisdiction over any constitutional challenge to the
expedited removal regime is specifically limited to actions
"instituted in the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia." 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e)(3)(A). The Ninth Circuit has repeatedly
acknowledged this explicit jurisdictional proscription. See, e.g.,
BarraganCamarillo, 460 Fed. Appx. at 639 ("systemic constitutional
challenges to the expedited removal statute or its implementing
regulations are governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e)(3) and may [only] be
brought in limited circumstances in the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia.") (citing Barajas--Alvarado, 655 F.3d at
1086 n. 10); Li v. Eddy, 259 F.3d 1132, 1136 (9th Cir. 2001) ("such
systemic challenges are to be filed in the District of Columbia, and
within 60 days of promulgation of the expedited removal procedures."),
vacated as moot, Li v. Eddy, 324 F.3d 1109 (9th Cir. 2001).*fn5
Thus, this Court also lacks jurisdiction over Plaintiffs'
constitutional challenge to the expedited removal regime
Again, Plaintiffs appear to concede all of this. [See Doc. No. 15 at 6 ("challenges to the constitutionality of . . . expedited removal . . . can be heard only by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.").] Plaintiffs further concede that this action indeed challenges the constitutionality of the expedited removal regime. [See Doc. No. 15 at 3 ("Plaintiffs brought this action challenging the policy of . . . placing aliens into expedited removal proceedings"); see also id. at 6 ("expedited removal proceedings . . . raise serious constitutional concerns, as well as the specter of the Suspension Clause.").] As such, this action raises a constitutional challenge that this Court lacks jurisdiction to hear.
C. Plaintiff De La Torre Lacks Standing
Defendants also assert that De La Torre (Torre-Flores's son) lacks standing because he fails to allege any injury in fact. [Doc. No. 13-1 at 4.] "In the ordinary course, a litigant must assert his or her own legal rights and interests, and cannot rest a claim to relief on the legal rights or interests of third parties." Powers v. Ohio, 499 U.S 400, 410 (1991). An exception can exist, but only where three criteria are satisfied: (1) the litigant must have suffered an injury in fact; (2) the litigant must have a close relation to the third party; and (3) there must exist some hindrance to the third party's ability to protect his or her own interest. Id. at 410--11.
Here, while the father-son relationship is close and Torre-Flores's ability to protect his own interests (to the extent any are recognized, see Landon v. Plasencia, 459 U.S. 21, 32 (1982) ("an alien seeking initial admission . . . has no constitutional rights regarding his application.")) is ostensibly hindered, De La Torre fails to allege any injury in fact to himself. His father was deported, but Plaintiffs have been unable to point to even a single case recognizing such circumstances as constituting injury in fact. Cf. Burrafato v. Dept. of State, 523 F.2d 554, 556-57 (2d. Cir. 1975) (removal of spouse does not constitute injury in fact); but see Marin-Garcia v. Holder, 647 F.3d 666, 670-71 (7th Cir. 2011) (affording third-party standing to removed illegal immigrant to litigate on behalf of his minor, U.S. citizen daughters). Thus, as to De La Torre, lack of standing appears to provide yet another reason this Court lacks jurisdiction.
For the foregoing reasons, the Court lacks jurisdiction*fn6
over the questions presented in this case and thus
Defendants' motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) is
II. Failure to State A Claim
Defendants alternatively move to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. [Doc. No. 13-1 at 4-7.] On such a motion, "[d]ismissal is proper when the complaint does not make out a cognizable legal theory or does not allege sufficient facts to support a cognizable legal theory." Cervantes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011).
Specific claims for relief are not identified in the complaint, but Plaintiffs' claims appear to rest on the assertion that Torre-Flores's June 1998 expedited removal was erroneous. [See, e.g., Doc. No. 1 at 7-8 ("violation his right . . by erroneously placing him in . . . expedited removal . . .").] Plaintiffs allege that, under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1)(A)(iii), expedited removal proceedings cannot apply to aliens present in the United States for the two years immediately preceding the date of the determination of inadmissability. [See, e.g., Doc. No. 1 at 7-8.]*fn7
Though the parties dispute the existence of such an exemption, even if it exists, it clearly did not apply to Torre-Flores on June 16, 1998 - he concedes that he was applying for admission from Mexico and had been there since May 1998. [Doc. No. 1 at 6.] Thus, on June 16, 1998, Torre-Flores had necessarily broken his continuous presence in the United States, was an arriving alien presenting false documentation, and thus was subject to expedited removal. See Lazama-Garcia v. Holder, 666 F.3d 518, 528 (9th Cir. 2011) ("aliens [] who had entered the United States without inspection [that then] depart and attempt to re-enter [are] 'arriving aliens' and will be inadmissible.") (internal citations omitted); 8 C.F.R. § 1235.3(b)(1)(ii) ("Any absence from the United States shall serve to break the period of continuous physical presence.").
Nor can Torre-Flores state a claim based on the Suspension Clause.*fn8 [Cf. Doc. No. 15 at 6-7 ("This raises serious constitutional concerns, as well as the specter of the Suspension Clause . . . ).]*fn9 Indeed, he "has no constitutional due process right . . . because []he is a non-resident alien seeking entry." Garcia de Rincon, 539 F.3d at 1141-42; see also Landon, 459 U.S. at 32 ("This Court has long held that an alien seeking initial admission to the United States requests a privilege and has no constitutional rights regarding his application, for the power to admit or exclude aliens is a sovereign prerogative."). Morever, the District Court for the District of Columbia, and in turn the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, have already considered and held lawful the jurisdictional restrictions Plaintiffs challenge here. See American Immigration Lawyers Ass'n v. Reno, 199 F.3d 1352, 1357 (D.C. Cir. 2000) (finding lawful expedited removal jurisdictional restrictions in subsection 1252(e)(3)); accord Garcia de Rincon, 539 F.3d at 1141-42 (finding narrow habeas review under expedited removal regime does not run afoul of the Suspension Clause). As such, not only does this court lack jurisdiction over Plaintiffs' vague Suspension Clause challenge, but both the only court that does have jurisdiction and the Ninth Circuit have already rejected it. Thus, because Plaintiffs fail to allege any cognizable legal theory, Defendants' motion to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) is GRANTED.
III. Summary Judgment
Defendants also move in the alternative for summary judgment, pointing to the absence of any dispute as to material fact. [Doc. No. 13-1 at 1; Doc. No. 17 at 2 n.2.] Summary judgment is proper where "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and . . . the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). A material issue of fact is a question a trier of fact must answer to determine the rights of the parties under the applicable substantive law. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). A dispute is genuine "if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Id.
The parties here agree as to nearly every fact. The only dispute is whether the inspection agents inquired into Torre-Flores's prior residence during the June 1998 expedited removal proceeding. [Compare Doc. No. 15 at 4 ("The officer did not question [Torre-Flores] about his residence for the previous 2 years . . ."), with Doc. No. 17 at 2 n.2 (" . . . administrative file show they were fully aware that he had been living in the United States for eight years.").] That dispute is plainly immaterial because regardless of any such inquiry, on June 16, 1998, Torre-Flores would have been subject to expedited removal as an arriving alien presenting invalid documentation. Moreover, it is uncontested that Plaintiff was arriving from Mexico and could not have been in the United States for the two years immediately preceding his expedited removal. See Lazama-Garcia
v. Holder, 666 F.3d at 528 ("aliens [] who had entered the United States without inspection [that then] depart and attempt to re-enter [are] 'arriving aliens' and will be inadmissible.") (internal citations omitted); see also 8 C.F.R. § 1235.3(b)(1)(ii) ("Any absence from the United States shall serve to break the period of continuous physical presence."). Nor have Plaintiffs come forward with anything beyond the complaint to show any dispute as to material fact. Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 324 (complaint alone will not defeat a properly supported motion for summary judgment).
Thus, it is uncontested both that Torre-Flores is an alien who applied for admission to the United States with false documentation and that he was thus properly subject to expedited removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b). Under these undisputed facts, Plaintiffs fail to support any cognizable claim for relief and Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Celotex Corp., 477 U.S. at 322. Thus, Defendants' motion for summary judgment is GRANTED.
For the reasons stated above, the Court GRANTS Defendants' motion to dismiss for both lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim, and GRANTS Defendants' motion for summary judgment. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

"Funivia (a tram or cable car)" Orvieto Transportation Tip by jeffmartinartist
Orvieto Transportation: 18 reviews and 32 photos
If you arrive in the walled hill top town of Orvieto by train you will find yourself at the very foot of this medieval city. Out side the train station you will be presented with two options to get up to the town of Orvieto. The first option a bus service and secondly a funivia which is a cable car or tram. Both are regular but the funivia more so, every 15min. I think this is a great way to arrive in this special town.
The Funivia is directly opposite the station and just looks like a small brick building. Ask a local if in doubt.
