Hey guys/girls,
I've been a long time non-contributing reader of ASF - hopefully this thread will be a good start to correcting my imbalance.
The purpose of this thread is to provide a diary/update-log for two systematic equity trend-following portfolio's I run (a SMSF Portfolio and Private Portfolio). All trades are generated by a mechanically coded EOD system, for long-only equity positions.
The universe in which my system seeks entry positions is bounded by:
Key metrics from Monte Carlo back-testing (system generates more trades than available trading capital - numerous combinations possible - i.e. "butterfly-like-effect"):
- Closing price greater or equal than 50 cents - (Close >= 0.5);
- Product of 100 day closing price moving average and 100 day volume moving average, to be greater or equal than $250,000 - [Mov(CLOSE,100,S)*Mov(VOLUME,100,S) >= 250000].
ASX: 1992 -2015 (2000 Simulations - Open trades and all delisted shares included - Excludes dividends):

text: When I'm on the treadmill, I like to watch movies on my iTouch. It's 3rd gen, 64GB, and about 8 months old. Everything was fine, and then I upgraded to iOS 4. Now, it goes 5 to 10 seconds, then freezes the video, with the audio still playing. I've turned off everything I can think of. I shut down the other apps (multitasking), turned on airplane mode, turned off pushes, and nothing has made a difference. I even tried rebooting, still no good. Any advice? It's ripped @ 480x272 MP4, which played just fine on the last OS version. I really don't want to have to re rip all my movies, and I'm not even sure if that's the problem.

President Obama accused Republicans on Tuesday of launching an "ideological crusade" to hold the "economy hostage" over "ideological" and "reckless" demands to dismantle his health care law. "In other words," he said, "they demanded ransom just for doing their jobs."
Several readers who support Obama said they were disappointed by the tone of his remarks. One from Ohio wrote, "He needs to chill. He looks defensive and has no reason to be." An independent voter in Michigan wrote, "He seems like an angry kid." A Maryland Democrat complained, "I love the man, but why is he yelling at me?"
I had a similar reaction listening to the remarks shortly after writing a column in defense of Obama's position.
Is the president lecturing, belittling Americans right now? Or the GOP House? Comms issue: Voters watching might not know difference— Ron Fournier (@ron_fournier) October 1, 2013
An otherwise solid argument can be undercut by the words a president chooses and the tone that greases them. It's not enough to be right as a leader if you insult voters with your righteousness. It's not just Obama. Senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer recently said the White House is opposed to "negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chests," an irresponsible and overheated image.
The Republican Party engineered this stalemate and is likely to shoulder most of the blame. That is, unless the Democratic Party matches the GOP on pettiness, stubbornness, and demagoguery. Presidents Reagan and Clinton had a way of attacking their rivals with a smile, making their point without making themselves look smaller. Can Obama?
Twenty-six hundred words into a long-winded address, Obama took a breath and said, "Let me repeat, I will not negotiate over Congress' responsibility to pay bills it's already racked up. I'm not going to allow anybody to drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud just to refight a settled election or extract ideological demands." Ten sentences later, he added, "We're better than this. Certainly, the American people are a lot better than this."
Yes, they are. And they might expect a better tone from their president.
What We're Following See More »
The National Defense Authorization Act passed the House this morning by a 375-34 vote. The bill, which heads to the Senate next week for final consideration, would fund the military to the tune of $618.7 billion, "about $3.2 billion more than the president requested for fiscal 2017. ... The White House has issued a veto threat on both the House and Senate-passed versions of the bill, but has not yet said if it will sign the compromise bill released by the conference committee this week."
"Republicans have elected Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) the next chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee. Walden defeated Reps. John Shimkus (R-IL) and Joe Barton (R-TX), the former committee chairman, in the race for the gavel" to succeed Michgan's Fred Upton.
"Democratic and Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee are working on legislation that would limit deportations" under President-elect Donald Trump. Leading the effort are Judiciary Committee members Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) is also expected to sign on.
Donald Trump has selected retired Marine Gen. James 'Mad Dog' Mattis as his secretary of defense, according to The Washington Post. Mattis retired from active duty just four years ago, so Congress will have "to pass new legislation to bypass a federal law that states secretaries of defense must not have been on active duty in the previous seven years." The official announcement is likely to come next week.

A study at a Kansas University found almost no difference in the sex practices of atheists and highly religious people. Adultery, masturbation, and other sex acts are as prevalent among the religious as the irreligious. The only difference investigators found was that the religious feel guilty about doing them. "The guilt 'does not stop them,' said researcher Darrel Rey. 'It just makes them feel bad.'"

- "Strucker has many vaults. I know them all. Just didn't know Zepkow was the one I needed."
- ―Grant Ward
Zepkow is a small municipality in Germany.
Wolfgang von Strucker's Vaults
Wolfgang von Strucker, a high-ranking member of the terrorist group HYDRA, had establish a large number of vaults in various locations. These contained numerous supplies and artifacts that von Strucker and HYDRA might need to aid them in their plans. Von Strucker's vault in Zepkow was among the most important of these, as it housed a fragment of the Monolith that was used by ancient Inhumans to banish the HYDRA Society's ancient leader.
New Heads
After HYDRA suffered a series of crushing blows, the new head of HYDRA, Grant Ward, began looking for Strucker's secret vault. After a brief power struggle with Gideon Malick for leadership of HYDRA, the two agreed to work together. Malick was impressed by Ward's ability to escape the death squad Malick had left for him and track his location; Ward agreed not to kill Malick in exchange for information pertaining to HYDRA's origin. Malick revealed the story of Hive and how HYDRA had been trying to bring the rogue Inhuman back from the other world for centuries. He agreed to help Ward destroy the second incarnation of S.H.I.E.L.D. if Ward would give up information on how Jemma Simmons' return from the same planet was orchestrated.[1]

USN Creatine HCl represents the newest form of 'proven- through-science' creatine to be made available to the international supplement market. Creatine is a naturally-occurring nitrogenous organic acid that helps your system supply energy to the working muscle tissue mass so that physiological adaptation to exercise, anabolism and measurable growth can occur at an improved rate.
Creatine HCl is the hydrochloride salt form of creatine and has been shown to be significantly more water soluble and hence more bio-available than traditional creatine monohydrate.
Creatine has been shown to be an effective supplement for athletes looking to pack on muscle, and it works on a molecular level by promoting power, strength, energy, anaerobic endurance and muscle growth support. Effective supplementation is important to support your performance potential and adaptation to exercise.
USN Creatine HCl contains 3824 mg of creatine HCl, yielding 3000mg creatine (the proven, effective dosage of creatine, no matter what the form). The other 824mg comes from the HCl salt bound to the molecule (enabeling the enhanced solubility). Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Bioperine® have been added to the formulation to help promote the transfer and uptake of creatine to an even greater extent.

This was great. Recommend to spend extra money to get the closer seets
Great add-on to our visit in Vienna!!
This concert at the palace is amazing! My husband and I loved it! Dont miss it if you do anything in Vienna you must do the palace evening.
The meal was delicious! We got to the Palace a little too early, about 1 pm or so. Would recommend going there about 3 pm or so, then you can go through the Palace tour, take a carriage ride through the garden and then walk around the garden before settling into dinner at 6:30 pm. The weather did not cooperate the day we were there...cold, drizzly...but we still enjoyed the entire experience. The concert was very entertaining...would definitely recommend book ahead of time...
Analiese D United States of ...
This was an excellent evening for a Viennese cultural night for a visitor. The palace tour was great 16.50 euro grand tour ticket included. The dinner was very good -pre-fixed 3 course meal, drinks not included at a nice restaurant in the palace front courtyard indoor seating followed by a 1.5 hour show with a mix of orchestra, opera and ballet. Overall a lovely evening. We arrived at 2pm to enjoy the gardens and tour which finished around 5pm.
Michael V United Kingdom
Fantastic. Must do.
A wonderful experience!
Recommend it to anybody! A glimpse into the worlds that gave us the backgrounds for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty of how royalty lived over the centuries. Almost as magical as the Disney movies.
After we had our delicious meal, we walked to the Orangerie, where we were treated to a night of music, opera and dance, all performed by highly accomplished performers. A memorable night out.
We loved the concert ad the palace and the meal was acceptable. We arrived in Vienna too late to take the palace tour the day we were booked for, so they very kindly allowed us to go the next day. A
Was a wonderful experience in a beautiful location
It is a Don't get stressed, get Strauss-ed! One expression I learned here in Vienna and I applied it well last evening when we went for dinner and concert at the Schonbrunn Palace. The concert was at the Orangerie the room where the emperor listened to music, and where Mozart and Strauss performed. And I had a seat in the front row and was fantastic! The concert ended with The Blue Danube and Radinsky March. It was like a preview of the New Years Eve Concert where I keep trying for years to get a ticket.must to have dinner and to listen to the concert
Good dinner and good concert.
A truly magical experience that exceeded my expectation and made our Sapphire anniversary a memory for a lifetime
Peter C Australia
Great place to visit the rooms are amazing. Very easy to use audio system. If you want to buy the book about the palace you can't take photos inside the rooms get it in a bookshop in Wenceslas Platz as it is half the price of the ones at the palace. The concert is agreat experience as well.
Delightful and amazing.
Tour and music was great. I would allow extra time for the gardens. Dinner was fine.
Definitely spend the extra money to get VIP Tickets sitting in the second row watching and listening to an amazing orchestra is worth it.
The concert was moved from the Orangerie to the main hall of the Castle and it was awesome having done the audio tour during the day and knowing the facts about the hall - where all the balls had taken place - to be sitting in the hall to listen to a concert.
The orchestra portrayed such fun and joy playing it was absolutely fabulous.
Self-guided audio tour is good to do during the day. TIP: Don't go to the wrong place to pick up your tour tickets. We went to the main entrance since the Orangerie ticket pick up was not signed. You will just have to go through an unmarked door left of the lights when coming from the U-Bahn stop. Don't go right with everyone else or you will get lost.
Dinner was relatively basic but restaurant setting was nice, service extremely good and quality of meal above average. The desert was to-die-for!
We have already recommended is tour to all our friends and would do it again!
This tour was amazing!
Spending the day touring the palace and gardens, a delightful dinner, and a magical concert which included music both instrumental and vocal, and dancers.....a wonderful sampler platter of some of the best of Vienna!
The tour of the Palace was well worth the visit, the audio pack guided us through the various aspects of the Palace and its rooms. You can wander around in the general gardens for free or pay a few Euros to visit the private garden. The general garden was beautiful in itself so we opted to skip the private garden. The Palace was walking distance from our Hotel. The dinner was superb and all three courses were top quality with excellent service. After dinner we strolled through the Palace grounds to the Concert hall where we enjoyed a lovely evening of Mozart and Strauss. We highly recommend Viator for its excellent package and experience. Would we use Viator again, Yes!
To make the evening special we arranged for a private driver to take us and bring us back 80euros
We had already visited the palace inside so used this visit to see part of the gardens
We then had dinner in the palace very nice meal in a very nice setting. - good value
We then walked to the Orangery for our concert. Beautiful setting
18 piece orchestra dancers and singers gave a marvelous performance
Together with our morning tour this was an amazing day
Simply a must do in Vienna.........I recommend that one arrives three hours prior to supper as it takes a couple hours to tour the Palace. Plus there is the beautiful gardens which is worth a quick tour on the little train which has a audio tour this is extra from aviator but worth the 7 euro. ENSURE you follow the instructions on how to procedure with the tour from your aviator voucher upon arriving to Palace as one is doing three activities in one ticket.
Would do it again!!!!
This tour was amazing!
This tour is amazing and incredible! The food is extremely delicious, the seats are awesome as the view and the orchestra is really really good.

Wonderful food, quick, friendly service, made this restaurant five stars to us! We have eaten in Mexican restaurants all over the U.S., and this by far ranked in the top!
There's so many Mexican food restaurants in Canon City that we haven't had a chance to try them all, but this one has quality food in good quantity, and good chips/salsa. Service has been very good as well.
While we were in Canon City, we decided to try El Caporal. It was very good! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I'd certainly recommend it!!
We had lunch at this great restaurant today! They could accommodate my wife's dairy and gluten free needs. My Macho burrito was fabulous. The service was great and the food was brought to our table very quickly on warm plates.
Excellent food
Especially the deep fried wrap with chicken
Aldo the chips as appetizer and the freshly made chili sauce was awesome
Super good food. Very fast service. Clean restaurant. Did I mention very very very good food. Great price
They bring the chips and salsa the moment you sit down. Waiter was there to take our orders before we got partway through the menu. Drinks came back fast and cold. Food was served hot and very fast. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal and were satisfied. We had 4 different meals so got to see a large selection...
Great food and large portions. Typical atmosphere for Mexican-American restaurant. We enjoyed our visit.
One of the best Mexican restaurants in town. The chips are warmed and the salsas are delicious. I love their enchiladas Suizas and their great margaritas. They specialize in fruited margaritas and they serve them LARGE. The service is wonderful. I've been going for over 8 years.
Not a Tex-Mex restaurant. I've always had good food here. Very Fast service. It's great for lunch if you don't have a lot of time, and don't want fast food.

Please share the downpayment details for a Hyundai Elite i20.
By: Naveen on 7 july 2016
1 Answers:
As the price of Hyundai Elite i20 variants range between Rs. 5.5 lakhs to Rs. 9 lakhs ex-showroon New Delhi therefore its down payment differs as well. The figure depends on your dealer and the bank loan also. Some dealers can offer a deal where they propose a Zero downpayment whereas at other times, the bank loans you an amount that is different from what you expect and that in turns has an affect on the total downpayment. It is thus, appropraite to say that there is no one fixed figure that can be quoted as a downpayment. For details and the exact amount you should talk to dealers around you. You can also connect with Autoportal customer care who can then help you get in touch with dealers and also propose some exciting offers.

Best-Practices Leadership
A leader in an organization can't do everyone's job. Instead of micromanaging, strong leaders use organizational leadership to coordinate, communicate, motivate and delegate among employees and team members. For comprehensive organizational effectiveness, each individual needs to be seen as a contributor, with the leader at the helm.
Most importantly, best-practices leadership involves keeping employees motivated throughout the process, adapting your scope or strategy as necessary, and developing an effective communication strategy.
Some people never make it to the other side because they're more successful at being doers. This is a crucial point in determining if you're going to move up the ranks.
Browse our articles, tools and advice on best-practices leadership.
To lead people, you can tell them what you want them to do and then assess the outcome. But there's a problem with that approach: Employees may deliver the desired outcome but make judgment errors along the way. True leaders don't just focus on the results; they also examine the process itself.
Few execs start off with the intent to lie or defraud. Instead, they make the mistake of getting ensnared by one seemingly minor infraction. How does many a downfall escalate from there?
Scott Cook, co-founder and chairman of Intuit, has built a huge company helping executives make decisions using his financial management software. Yet Cook frowns on financial forecasting. In fact, he requests that his employees avoid spending time forecasting the numbers relating to their unit's sales and expenses.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT,v.MIGUEL FIGUEROA, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Criminal Part, Camden County, Indictment No. 00-10-3179.
Submitted: May 26, 2010
Before Judges Stern, Graves and J. N. Harris.
Defendant was convicted of murder, N.J.S.A. 2C:11-3(a)(1)-(2); felony murder, N.J.S.A. 2C:11-3(a)(3); aggravated sexual assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(a)(3), and sexual assault, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(c)(4). He was sentenced to an aggregate term of life imprisonment plus twenty years with forty-five years to be served before parole eligibility. This was based on a sentence of life with thirty-five years before parole eligibility for the murder and a consecutive sentence of twenty years with ten years before parole eligibility for the aggravated sexual assault. Defendant's convictions were reversed on appeal because the trial court had improperly denied his Sixth Amendment right to self-representation. State v. Figueroa, 377 N.J. Super. 331, 338 (App. Div. 2005), aff'd, 186 N.J. 589 (2006).
Following a new jury trial before another judge, defendant was again convicted on all counts. He was sentenced to life imprisonment with thirty years to be served before parole eligibility on the murder conviction and a consecutive life term with parole ineligibility for twenty-five years and to community supervision for life on the conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Accordingly, the aggregate sentence after the second trial was two lives plus fifty-five years before parole eligibility. We amend the sentence and affirm the convictions.
In August 1995, on a Friday afternoon, thirteen-year-old Shaline Sequinot was visiting her grandmother in Camden when she asked her aunt for permission to borrow a neighborhood boy's bicycle for a short ride. Her aunt allowed her, but warned that she could not go far and had to return in five minutes. When Sequinot did not promptly return, her family became worried and set out to search for her. They could not find her and called the police, but continued searching throughout the weekend.
Sequinot's body was found three days after her disappearance. A medical examiner testified that a severed carotid artery and stab wound to the lung caused her death, and that she also sustained nine other stab wounds to the chest and a small laceration to the vagina. He opined that all of the injuries had been inflicted within a half hour of death, which, he estimated, occurred within hours of Sequinot venturing off on the bicycle that afternoon.
Semen was found in vaginal swabs taken from Sequinot. An expert in DNA analysis testified that genetic material from one of those swabs matched defendant's DNA.
Defendant argues that he did "not knowingly and voluntarily waive his [right to counsel at the second trial] because the court did not inform him of the maximum term he faced [upon conviction,] and led him to believe that he faced less than the maximum term" and less than the term he received.
The trial court concluded, following a hearing, that defendant sufficiently understood the consequences of his decision to waive his right to counsel. A criminal defendant has a state and federal constitutional right to self-representation. Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806, 821, 95 S.Ct. 2525, 2534, 45 L.Ed. 2d 562, 574 (1975); State v. Davenport, 177 N.J. 288, 299-302 (2003). That right is not absolute, however, and may be exercised only following a knowing and intelligent waiver of the right to representation by counsel. State v. Reddish, 181 N.J. 553, 587, 592 (2004). Therefore, the court must engage in a searching inquiry on the record of a defendant who wants to represent himself, State v. Crisafi, 128 N.J. 499, 509-10 (1992), and ascertain whether he or she is adequately informed of
(1) the nature of the charges, statutory defenses, and possible range of punishment; (2) the technical problems associated with self-representation and the risks if the defense is unsuccessful; (3) the necessity that defendant comply with the rules of criminal procedure and the rules of evidence; (4) the fact that the lack of knowledge of the law may impair defendant's ability to defend himself or herself; (5) the impact that the dual role of counsel and defendant may have; (6) the reality that it would be unwise not to accept the assistance of counsel; (7) the need for an open-ended discussion so that the defendant may express an understanding in his or her own words; (8) the fact that, if defendant proceeds pro se, he or she will be unable to assert an ineffective assistance of counsel claim; and (9) the ramifications that self-representation will have on the right to remain silent and the privilege against self-incrimination.
[State v. DuBois, 189 N.J. 454, 468-69 (2007).]
Generally, the validity of a waiver depends "'upon the particular facts and circumstances surrounding that case, including the background, experience, and conduct of the accused.'" State v. Thomas, 362 N.J. Super. 229, 236 (App. Div.) (quoting Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 482, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 1884, 68 L.Ed. 2d 378, 385 (1981)), certif. denied, 178 N.J. 249 (2003). See also State v. Kordower, 229 N.J. Super. 566, 578 (App. Div. 1989). In the specific context of punishment, the failure to ensure that a defendant is adequately informed of his or her sentencing exposure has impacted the validity of a waiver of the right to counsel. Kordower, supra, 229 N.J. Super. at 578; State v. Abbondanzo, 201 N.J. Super. 181, 185 (App. Div. 1985). In Abbondanzo, we reversed a disorderly person's conviction because the defendant was not advised that he risked "incarceration." 201 N.J. Super. at 183-85. In Kordower, convictions were reversed because defendant was not advised of the possible length of the aggregate sentence. 229 N.J. Super. at 577.
Here, the court engaged defendant in a thorough discussion of the nature and consequences of defendant's request to proceed pro se. Although he preferred only to cross-examine the State's witnesses because he knew the case so well, he assured the court that, if it forbade hybrid representation, defendant felt "comfortable with doing the whole case." He expressed confidence that "[n]obody knows my case better than I do. I'm familiar with the case. I studied the case." Defendant also indicated that he understood his basic responsibilities in proceeding pro se: making opening and closing statements, cross-examining witnesses, conducting jury selection, presenting his own witnesses and exhibits, as well as his consequent abandonment of any claim of ineffective assistance of counsel and the risk of jeopardizing his right against self-incrimination.
Defendant acknowledged that he had little familiarity with rules of evidence, no experience with the court rules or criminal code, and only a ninth-grade education. Consequently, he acknowledged that he might face some difficulty in representing himself but maintained that "that's a risk I'm willing to take. And I'm wholeheartedly giving -- That's why I'm wholeheartedly giving up my rights so I can represent myself." Defense counsel*fn1 then confirmed that, although he did not advise defendant to proceed pro se, his own extensive discussions with defendant revealed that defendant was thoroughly familiar with the first trial, understood the risks of self-representation, and knew that "should a verdict come down against him that there is almost a 150 percent possibility that he will go to jail for the rest of his life."
Following the colloquy, the remand court observed that although generally unfamiliar with the rules of evidence, defendant "knows the evidence he faces in this case because he sat through the first trial and he's read and reread all of the transcripts of that trial." Significantly, the judge found defendant understood "the ultimate consequences" of "life plus twenty" because he had already been sentenced on these charges to that term. Moreover, despite his relative lack of education, the judge found that defendant "is fairly articulate and able to express his understanding of what it means to represent himself throughout a trial." Although the court believed that the circumstances of defendant's request, made on the eve of trial after he had initially indicated his intention on remand to be represented by counsel, suggested a "manipulation of the system,"*fn2 the judge was nonetheless satisfied that defendant sufficiently understood the consequences of his decision to "knowingly and intelligently and voluntarily[] waive his right to representation by counsel."
Defendant asserts that his waiver was not knowingly and voluntarily entered with respect to the advice given regarding his maximum sentence exposure upon conviction. Specifically, he takes issue with the following exchange:
[THE COURT:] Can you tell me your understanding of what the penalties you may be facing if you're convicted of the charges in this case are [sic]?
THE DEFENDANT: Sir, one which is no longer felony murder; first degree murder; sexual assault; aggravated sexual assault. I know that counts. These are the counts and I know what -- how much time I face on each of these counts.
THE COURT: How much?
THE DEFENDANT: Life plus twenty just counting persistent offender.
THE COURT: Counting persistent offender?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes.
THE COURT: Is that your understanding of the maximum that you could be facing?
THE DEFENDANT: That's what I was sentenced to, sir.
THE COURT: I'm not sure. Was he sentenced as a persistent offender the first time?
MR. SMITH [ASSISTANT PROSECUTOR]: Yes, your honor.
THE COURT: Okay --MR. SMITH: (Interposing) Actually, Judge Snyder imposed an extended term sentence on the murder. Instead of thirty years without parole it was 35. Then he ran twenty do ten consecutive to that which came out to life plus twenty, 45 without parole.
THE COURT: So, if I understand you, sir, when I asked you about the range of sentences that you would face if you were convicted of these charges, what do you think the maximum is, sir?
THE DEFENDANT: I have no problem with what the maximum is, sir.
THE COURT: Do you know what it is, sir?
THE DEFENDANT: Life sentence plus twenty.
THE COURT: How about the maximum sentence if you're a persistent offender as you were the last time by Judge Snyder? Do you know what that is?
THE DEFENDANT: That's what it comes down to, life plus twenty. That's what I was sentenced to. That's what I'm facing.
I understand what I'm facing. I have no problem with facing it. [(Emphasis added).]
It is clear that the sentence imposed on remand was longer than both the one imposed after the first trial and the maximum exposure stated during the colloquy with respect to the specific term, although the period of parole ineligibility was not specifically expressed. Defendant repeatedly maintained that he faced a sentence of "life plus twenty" without any mention of or concern for the parole ineligibility period.
As already noted, defendant argues that the court's failure to correct his misconception of the maximum sentence requires a reversal of his conviction irrespective of whether he would still have chosen to represent himself. Related to this argument is defendant's contention that the court denied his right to due process by imposing a sentence greater than that imposed following his first trial.
The first judge imposed an extended term of life imprisonment with a thirty-five year parole disqualifier on the murder count and a consecutive term of twenty years with a ten-year parole disqualifier on the aggravated sexual assault count following the first trial. After retrial, the second trial judge also found defendant to be a persistent offender and imposed an extended sentence, but on the aggravated sexual assault count rather than the murder count. He sentenced defendant to life imprisonment with a twenty-five year parole disqualifier on that count and a consecutive term of life with a thirty-year parole disqualifier on the murder count. The net difference between the two sentences is that defendant now faces two life terms and an additional ten years of parole ineligibility.
It is well known that a court may impose a harsher sentence following retrial, but may not do so to punish a defendant for a successful appeal without undermining his right to due process. North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 723-24, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 2079-80, 23 L.Ed. 2d 656, 668 (1969). To ensure that such vindictiveness played no part in the court's sentencing decision, reviewing courts must accord a presumption of vindictiveness under any circumstances where there is a "reasonable likelihood" "that the increase in sentence is the product of actual vindictiveness on the part of the sentencing authority." Alabama v. Smith, 490 U.S. 794, 799, 109 S.Ct. 2201, 2205, 104 L.Ed. 2d 865, 873 (1989). In order to assure the absence of such motivation," the presumption may be rebutted only if non-vindictive reasons for the increase "affirmatively appear" in the trial court's sentencing decision. Pearce, supra, 395 U.S. at 725-26, 89 S.Ct. at 2080-81, 23 L.Ed. 2d at 669-70. Specifically, [t]hose reasons must be based upon objective information concerning identifiable conduct on the part of the defendant occurring after the time of the original sentencing proceeding. And the factual data upon which the increased sentence is based must be made part of the record, so that the constitutional legitimacy of the increased sentence may be fully reviewed on appeal. [Id. at 726, 89 S.Ct. at 2081, 23 L.Ed. 2d at 670.]
However, the presumption does not always apply, and in certain circumstances defendant must demonstrate actual vindictiveness. Smith, supra, 490 U.S. at 801-02, 109 S.Ct. at 2205-06, 104 L.Ed. 2d at 873-74 (first sentence based on guilty plea and second imposed following trial where more information is usually available to the sentencing judge); Chaffin v. Stynchcombe, 412 U.S. 17, 26-27, 93 S.Ct. 1977, 1982-83, 36 L.Ed. 2d 714, 723-24 (1973) (second jury imposed longer sentence than first); Colten v. Kentucky, 407 U.S. 104, 116-117, 92 S.Ct. 1953, 1960, 32 L.Ed. 2d 584, 593-94 (1972) (longer sentence imposed after trial de novo in superior court).
Specifically, recent federal precedent uniformly indicates that the presumption of vindictiveness does not arise if, as here, the new sentence was imposed by a second judge who had no connection with the first trial or sentence and provided an adequate, non-vindictive explanation of the new sentence. United States v. Rodriguez, 602 F.3d 346, 358 (5th Cir. 2010); United States v. Moskovits, 86 F.3d 1303, 1310 (3d Cir. 1996), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 1120, 117 S.Ct. 968, 136 L.Ed. 2d 853 (1997); United States v. Clark, 84 F.3d 506, 508 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 909, 117 S.Ct. 272, 136 L.Ed. 2d 195 (1996); Macomber v. Hannigan, 15 F.3d 155, 156-57 (10th Cir. 1994); United States v. Cheek, 3 F.3d 1057, 1064 (7th Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1112, 114 S.Ct. 1055, 127 L.Ed. 2d 376 (1994); United States v. Newman, 6 F.3d 623, 630-31 (9th Cir. 1993); United States v. Perez, 904 F.2d 142, 146 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 905, 111 S.Ct. 270, 112 L.Ed. 2d 226 (1990). The possibility of vindictiveness does not inhere under those circumstances, because the second judge has not been reversed and thus has no incentive for self-vindication through a sentencing decision. Perez, supra, 904 F.2d at 146. See also Alabama v. Smith, supra.
In the context of the severity of sentencing upon reconviction, our state due process clause is co-extensive with the federal. State v. Pindale, 279 N.J. Super. 123, 128-30 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 142 N.J. 449 (1995) (remanding for resentencing in light of Pearce). Thus, the State argues that the due process concern should be satisfied by a remand for a statement of "reasons for increasing the sentence beyond that imposed after defendant's first trial." However, we decline to take that approach in this case, as defendant has been incarcerated since before the first trial, and nothing in the record would support an increase pursuant to Pearce. State v. Heisler, 192 N.J. Super. 586, 592-93 (App. Div. 1984) (remanding for re-imposition of original sentence, where record was "barren of any evidence of intervening conduct or prior oversight to justify the new sentence").*fn3 More significantly, the remand for reasons, or a holding that the presumption of vindictiveness does not apply, does not solve the problem caused by the colloquy concerning defendant's sentence exposure at the second trial.
We are, in any event, satisfied that another remand is not justified and that finality is warranted in this case involving a murder which occurred fifteen years ago. Although the State could not appeal from the sentence imposed after the first trial which involved a capital prosecution, see N.J.S.A. 2C:44-1(f)(2), there is no suggestion it was inappropriately lenient, as consecutive sentences were imposed as was an extended term.
We are therefore satisfied that re-imposition of that sentence is the proper disposition in this case. While the colloquy on waiver of counsel did not expressly address the critical parole ineligibility term, we are further satisfied that the problematic lack of discussion of the true sentence exposure makes that omission academic in this case and, in any event, re-imposition of the sentence defendant knew to have been originally imposed solves any problem in respect to whether defendant was adequately informed of his exposure to punishment when he waived his right to an attorney before his second trial. See Moskovits, supra, 86 F.3d at 1306-09.
Defendant contends that the State unduly burdened his right to self-representation by suggesting that it would discontinue plea negotiations if he dispensed with counsel. As noted, defendant initially told the court that he wished to be represented by counsel at his new trial. He reiterated that view even after the attorneys who had represented him in his first trial were replaced by another designated attorney. On the eve of trial, however, defendant signaled that he might instead move to represent himself and requested that the pretrial conference be adjourned to allow him time to consider his decision. The prosecutor, then in plea negotiations with defendant and his counsel, reacted:
MR. SMITH: [F]rankly, if he's going to go through with the motion to represent himself, there is no need to discuss a plea in this case.
THE COURT: Okay --MR. SMITH: (Interposing) I mean, I'm only going to plead the case with a lawyer, for one thing.
THE COURT: Yes.
MR. SMITH: And frankly, I suspect that this is just a means of manipulating the system.
Further plea negotiations ensued, and defendant moved a couple of days later to represent himself. When the court inquired why, he explained that he intended all along to be represented by counsel in pretrial proceedings and plea negotiations, but to forego that representation at trial.
A defendant has the right to representation by counsel at the plea bargaining stage. State v. Taccetta, 351 N.J. Super. 196, 200 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 174 N.J. 544 (2002). It stands to reason that he would have the right to represent himself in that context, as well. See DuBois, supra, 189 N.J. at 466 (recognizing constitutional right both to counsel and self-representation); but see Reddish, supra, 181 N.J. at 582 (stating that defendant's right to self-representation does not arise automatically from the power to waive right to counsel); State v. McNeil, 405 N.J. Super. 39, 52 (App. Div.), certif. denied, 199 N.J. 130 (2009) (right to self-representation may be denied when a mentally ill defendant is competent to stand trial but not competent to represent himself).
Nonetheless, a defendant has no affirmative right to compel plea negotiations, and a prosecutor exercises considerable discretion in deciding whether to negotiate at all. State v. Williams, 277 N.J. Super. 40, 46 (App. Div. 1994). Although that discretion is not unlimited, see United States v. Bell, 506 F.2d 207, 221-22 (D.C. Cir. 1974) (explaining that plea bargaining decision and treatment of co-defendants cannot be based on an "unjustifiable standard" or arbitrary classification), defendant cites no authority holding that a prosecutor's reluctance to negotiate with an unrepresented defendant infringes on the defendant's right to self-representation. In any event, here defendant did precisely as he always intended--accepted representation by counsel for plea negotiations and represented himself only at trial. Moreover, the prosecutor was justified to take the position he did because the defendant had already secured a reversal of his convictions by asserting the right of self-representation and subsequently, for a period, asserted his right to counsel.
Therefore, defendant's argument with respect to plea negotiations does not warrant a reversal of his conviction.
Defendant argues as "plain error," that the jury instructions infringed his right against self-incrimination. At defendant's request, the court instructed the jury according to the model criminal charges:
[A]s you know, Miguel Figueroa elected not to testify at trial. It's his [c]onstitutional [r]ight to remain silent. You must not consider for any purpose or in any manner in arriving at your verdict the fact that he didn't testify. That fact should not enter into your deliberations or discussions in any manner at any time. He's entitled to have you, the jury, consider all the evidence presented at the trial, and he's presumed innocent even though he chose not to testify. [(Emphasis added).]
Defendant asserts that the phrase "even though" implies such a severe contradiction between the presumption of innocence and his decision not to testify that it nullifies any benefit of the rest of the instruction and impermissibly suggests that he was obligated to testify.
An instruction must not "invade[ a defendant's] absolute Fifth Amendment right to remain silent without suffering any penalty or adverse inference." State v. Dent, 51 N.J. 428, 439-40 (1968). Nonetheless, when a defendant fails to object to an instruction, only plain error will justify a reversal of his conviction. State v. Adams, 194 N.J. 186, 206 (2008). The error must be "'clearly capable of producing an unjust result'" when evaluated in the context of the instructions as a whole. Id. at 207 (quoting R. 2:10-2). Generally, however, "because clear and correct jury instructions are fundamental to a fair trial, erroneous instructions in a criminal case are 'poor candidates for rehabilitation under the plain error theory.'" Ibid. (quoting State v. Jordan, 147 N.J. 409, 422 (1997)).
As defendant points out, the final sentence of the model charge has been revised, following our recommendation in an unpublished opinion, to express that defendant "is presumed innocent whether or not he/she chooses to testify." Model Jury Charges (Criminal), Defendant's Election Not to Testify (2009) (emphasis added). However, while the charge that was given may arguably imply an expectation that a defendant would usually testify, the charge as a whole was not reasonably susceptible to that interpretation. In any event, it cannot constitute "plain error."
We conclude that no other contention made by defendant warrants discussion. R. 2:11-3(e)(2). Accordingly, we affirm defendant's convictions but remand for re-imposition of the sentence of life plus twenty years with forty-five years before parole eligibility, as originally imposed.

United States District Court, C.D. Illinois, Peoria Division
January 29, 2015
JAMES R. BANKS, Plaintiff,v.JEFF STOLZ, et al., Defendant.
JONATHAN E. HAWLEY, Magistrate Judge.
Now before the Court are the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel - Motion for Extension of Discovery (Doc. 98) and Motion to Supplement Complaint and to Add Defendants (Doc. 99). The Defendants filed a Response (Doc. 100) to Plaintiff's Motion to Supplement Amended Complaint, but did not file a response to the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel - Motion for Extension of Discovery. For the reasons set forth below, the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel - Motion for Extension of Discovery is granted in part and moot in part, and the Motion to Supplement Complaint and to Add Defendants is denied in its entirety.[1]
The Plaintiff filed his original Complaint pursuant to 42 USC § 1983 on November 19, 2012 (Doc. 1) alleging that he was subject to excessive force during a traffic stop in Pekin, Illinois on December 10, 2011. In his original Complaint, the Plaintiff named ten John Doe Defendants, and listed five of the Doe Defendants' job titles as "Pekin Police Dept." See (Doc. 1). The Court held a Rule 16 Scheduling Conference on July 12, 2013 and set the discovery schedule in this matter. While discovery was ongoing, on November 14, 2013, the Plaintiff filed a Motion to Amended [sic] Pleading, seeking to amend his Complaint to include the Sheriff of Tazewell County, Roger Huston [sic]. See (Doc. 31). On December 16, 2013, the Court entered an order denying the Motion to Amend, explaining that the Plaintiff failed to include information about who the additional defendant would be or what the claim against that new defendant would entail. The Court explained that the Plaintiff had leave to file a renewed motion for leave to amend his complaint, and that he needed to set out the information regarding who the new defendant was and what the claim against that new defendant would entail. See (Doc. 33). On January 24, 2014, the Plaintiff filed another Motion to Amend Pleading, seeking to amend his Complaint to include Sheriff's Deputy Chris McKinney and Sheriff Roger Houston [sic]. See (Doc. 37). On January 29, 2014, the Court entered an order granting the Plaintiff's Motion to Amend (Doc. 37) and also vacated the current discovery schedule as a result of granting the Motion to Amend and matters mentioned in the Defendants' Motion for Enlargement of Time to complete discovery. See (Doc. 39). The Plaintiff finally filed his Amended Complaint (Doc. 41) which is the controlling version of the Complaint in this case.
After the newly added Defendants were served and appeared in the case, the Court held a second Rule 16 Scheduling Conference on August 7, 2014 and set the new discovery schedule in this case. Included in that schedule were an amendment of pleadings deadline and a deadline for filing motions to join additional parties of August 15, 2014, and a close of discovery deadline of January 9, 2015. On August 14, 2014, the Plaintiff filed a Motion for Permission to Supplement My Complaint and to Join Parties to Add 2 New Plaintiffs and Add 2 Knew [sic] Defendants. (Doc. 77). In that Motion, the Plaintiff sought to add as plaintiffs in this case his two-year-old son, J.B., and his son's mother/the Plaintiff's girlfriend, Felicia McCreary. On September 10, 2014, the Court denied the Plaintiff's Motion for Permission based upon futility. See (Doc. 80).
Most recently, on December 29, 2014, the Plaintiff filed his fourth Motion to Supplement Complaint to Add Defendants (Doc. 99) seeking to amend his Complaint to include the real names of the John Doe Defendants. In their Response to the Motion to Supplement, Defendants Stolz, Smith, Ujinski, and the City of Pekin argue that the deadline for the Plaintiff to add additional parties has passed, and there is no good cause to allow him to further amend to add additional defendants at this time. The Defendants also argue that allowing the Plaintiff to amend would be prejudicial to them, and any new claims against the newly-named individual defendants would be barred by the applicable two year statute of limitations. In his Reply, the Plaintiff argues that if he knew there was a deadline to add defendants, he would have added them the last time he amended his complaint. He argues that it would be highly prejudicial if he is not allowed to put the John Does on the stand to testify, and he asks the Court not to hold him to the same standard as an attorney.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) provides in relevant part that the Court should freely give leave to a party to amend its pleading "when justice so requires." FRCP 15(a)(2). However, leave to amend may be denied where there is undue delay, bad faith on the movant's part, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party if the amendment is allowed, or futility. Bausch v Stryker Corp, 630 F.3d 546, 562 (7th Cir 2010) (citations omitted). Here, the Plaintiff's Motion to Supplement Complaint is denied because it would be futile for him to make the amendments he seeks.
The Defendants challenge the Plaintiff's request to amend, in part, on statute of limitations grounds. The limitations period applicable to the Plaintiff's Section 1983 cause of action is two years. Woods v Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, 710 F.3d 762, 768 (7th Cir 2013) (explaining that the limitations period applicable to all Section 1983 claims brought in Illinois is two years as provided in 735 ILCS 5/13-202). Because the Defendants make such a challenge, the Court must consider Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(c). FRCP 15(c) provides in relevant part:
An amendment to a pleading relates back to the date of the original pleading when...
(C) the amendment changes the party or the naming of the party against whom a claim is asserted, if Rule 15(c)(1)(B) is satisfied and if, within the period provided by Rule 4(m) for serving the summons and complaint, the party to be brought in by amendment:
(i) received such notice of the action that it will not be prejudiced in defending on the merits; and
(ii) knew or should have known that the action would have been brought against it, but for a mistake concerning the proper party's identity.
FRCP 15(c)(3). The Seventh Circuit has made clear that Rule 15(c)(3) has been interpreted to "permit an amendment to relate back to the original complaint only where there has been an error made concerning the identity of the proper party and where that party is chargeable with knowledge of the mistake." King v One Unknown Federal Correctional Officer, 201 F.3d 910, 914 (7th Cir 2000) (collecting cases). The mistake requirement is an independent requirement. Id, citing Baskin v City of Des Plaines, 138 F.3d 701, 704 (7th Cir 1998). Moreover, the Seventh Circuit has "consistently held that Rule 15(c)(3) does not provide for relation back under circumstances... in which the plaintiff fails to identify the proper party." King, 201 F.3d at 914; Baskin, 138 F.3d at 704 (finding that the plaintiff's amendment finally naming the officer did not relate back to the filing of his original complaint where he simply originally did not know the officer's identity, and thus his amended complaint against the officer was properly dismissed as the statute of limitations had expired). Rather, Rule 15(c)(3) allows relation back only to correct the mistakes of plaintiffs suing official bodies in determining which party is the proper defendant. King, 201 F.3d at 914, citing Donald v Cook County Sheriff's Department, 95 F.3d 548, 560 (7th Cir 1996) and Lojuk v Johnson, 853 F.2d 560, 562-63 (7th Cir 1988).
Here, the Plaintiff did not make a mistake in originally naming the John Doe officers as Defendants, he simply did not know their actual identities at the time he filed his original Complaint. Thus, under the authority cited above, the Plaintiff cannot avail himself of relation back under Rule 15(c)(3), as he made no mistake. Significantly, this is not a case in which the Plaintiff was unable to conduct any discovery in order to learn the actual identifies of his John Doe Defendants. Discovery first commenced on July 12, 2013 and continued until January 29, 2014. It was then re-commenced on August 7, 2014. Clearly, the Plaintiff had ample time to issue discovery requests to the Defendants who had already appeared in the case in order to ascertain the actual names of his John Doe Defendants. Moreover, the Plaintiff was made aware of the fact that he was required to name Defendants by their real names. See (Doc. 33) (this Court explaining that the Plaintiff had to provide information as to who the new defendant was and what the claim against that new defendant entailed).
This does not conclude the Court's inquiry, however, because the Court must next consider whether the circumstances call for equitable tolling of the statute of limitations. "The doctrine of equitable tolling permits a plaintiff to sue after the statute of limitations has expired if through no fault or lack of diligence on his part he was unable to sue before, even though the defendant took no active steps to prevent him from suing. Donald, 95 F.3d at 561 (internal citations and quotations omitted). Donald instructs that this Court should determine whether the balance of equities favors tolling the statute of limitations where here, as in Donald, the plaintiff is unrepresented and incarcerated. Id at 562. The Court finds that the balance of equities does not favor tolling the statute of limitations in this case.
As already discussed above, the Plaintiff had an ample amount of time to conduct discovery in order to correctly identify the John Doe Defendants, and he was aware of the fact that it was necessary for him to provide the names of those he sought to bring in as defendants. Nothing in the Plaintiff's Motion to Supplement or in his Reply convinces the Court that equitable tolling is necessary here. In fact, the Plaintiff's statements in his Reply that, "if I knew there was any deadlines to add Defendants I would of added them the last time I amended my complaint" indicates that he could have provided the John Doe Defendants' real names at an earlier time. This case is over two years old, the deadline to add parties and amend the complaint passed five months ago, and two of the Plaintiff's previous requests to amend his complaint were granted. This is not a case in which the Plaintiff was unable to identify the John Doe Defendants through no fault of his own. This is also not a case in which the Plaintiff's status as an unrepresented party has hindered him in seeking to amend his complaint on various occasions to include additional defendants. He did not exercise the kind of "reasonable diligence" that would outweigh the prejudice to the Defendants at this point if the Court were to now grant his Motion to Supplement. See id ("Considerations weighing in favor of equitable tolling must be balanced against the possibility of prejudice to the defendants occasioned by the delay"). Because the Plaintiff's amended complaint would not relate back to the date he filed his original Complaint, and because equitable tolling of the statute of limitations is not called for under these circumstances, the Plaintiff's Motion to Supplement is denied.
In his Motion to Compel - Motion for Extension of Discovery, the Plaintiff argues that the Defendants objected to 90% of the questions the Plaintiff sent them, and so they "did not [go] by the rules 33 [and] 36."[2] The Plaintiff also requests an extension of time "to do interrogatories and Request [sic] for Admissions on the knew [sic] Defendants." The Plaintiff's Motion to Compel - Motion for Extension of Discovery is rendered moot insofar as the Plaintiff seeks an extension of the discovery deadline to conduct discovery on the John Doe Defendants in light of the Court's ruling that the Plaintiff may not amend his Complaint. The Motion to Compel is granted in all other respects due the Defendants' failure to file any response to that Motion. See Local Rule 7.1(B)(2) ("If no response is timely filed [in opposition to a motion filed pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(B)(1)], the presiding judge will presume there is no opposition to the motion and may rule without further notice to the parties"). Therefore, the Defendants must provide the Plaintiff with their amended answers to the interrogatories and requests for admission that fully comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 33 and 36 within seven days of the date of this Order.
For the reasons set forth above, the Plaintiff's Motion to Compel - Motion for Extension of Discovery (Doc. 98) is moot in part to the extent he seeks an extension of time to conduct discovery on the John Doe Defendants, and the Motion is granted in part in all other respects. The Defendants must accordingly provide the Plaintiff with their amended answers to the interrogatories and requests for admission that fully comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 33 and 36 within seven days of the date of this Order. The Motion to Supplement Complaint and to Add Defendants (Doc. 99) is denied in its entirety as the amendments the Plaintiff seeks to make to his Amended Complaint would be futile.
