ROBERT E. BAILIFF, AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFFS,v.VILLAGE OF DOWNERS GROVE,DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff Robert E. Bailiff has filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging the constitutionality of a Village of Downers Grove ordinance that requires individuals to pay an administrative booking fee if they are arrested in the Village. Plaintiff argues that the ordinance violates the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause by failing to give arrestees proper notice and an opportunity to be heard. Currently before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for class certification pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3). For the reasons set forth here, the motion is granted.
Plaintiff, a resident of Downers Grove, Illinois, was arrested and charged with domestic battery on May 31, 2009. At the time of the arrest, a Village ordinance provided that "[a]n administrative fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) shall be imposed upon an arrestee when posting bail or bond for any criminal, Village ordinance or bookable arrest, including but not limited to warrants." Municipal Code 17.3.2. The Village claims that the fee was designed to "defray[] some of the cost of processing and booking an arrestee," and that it only covered "about half the Village's cost." (Doc. 29, at 2). In any event, it is undisputed that the Village charged Plaintiff the $30 fee and provided him with an Administrative Booking Fee Receipt. (Doc. 7, Ex. 1).
The Village police department opened a criminal case against Plaintiff on June 1, 2009, but dismissed it on January 3, 2011 nolle prosequi. Several months later on May 18, 2011, Plaintiff filed this class action lawsuit because the ordinance has no provision for reimbursement, and the Village never gave him back his $30 booking fee. He seeks to represent:
[a]ll individuals who were deprived of their property pursuant to Downers Grove Municipal Ordinance 17.3.2 without being provided the constitutionally guaranteed due process of law. (Doc. 7, at 2). Though Plaintiff initially sought injunctive relief pursuant to Rule 23(b)(2), the Village has confirmed that it stopped imposing the booking fee in response to this lawsuit. (Doc. 29-1 ¶ 9). Plaintiff therefore asks the Court to certify a class under Rule 23(b)(3). The Village objects that the proposed class definition is overly broad, and that Plaintiff cannot satisfy some of the necessary requirements for certification. As discussed below, the Court finds that with a slight modification to the class definition, this case may proceed under Rule 23(b)(3).
To obtain class certification, a plaintiff must demonstrate that "the putative class satisfies all four requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a) -- numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy of representation -- and any one of the conditions of Rule 23(b)." Siegel v. Shell Oil Co., 612 F.3d 932, 935 (7th Cir. 2010) (citing Oshana v. Coca-Cola Co., 472 F.3d 506, 513 (7th Cir. 2006)). The court has broad discretion in determining whether to certify a class-action lawsuit, Arreola v. Godinez, 546 F.3d 788, 794 (7th Cir. 2008), and "must make whatever factual and legal inquiries are necessary . . ., even if those considerations overlap the merits of the case." American Honda Motor Co. v. Allen, 600 F.3d 813, 815 (7th Cir. 2010) (citing Szabo v. Bridgeport Machines, Inc., 249 F.3d 672, 676 (7th Cir. 2001)). In this case, Plaintiff seeks certification pursuant to Rule 23(b)(3), which requires that "questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy." FED. R. CIV. P. 23(b)(3); Siegel, 612 F.3d at 935.
I. Class Definition
Before addressing the specific requirements of Rule 23, the Court first notes that there is an implied prerequisite that the class description be "sufficiently defined so that the class is identifiable." Martinez v. Haleas, No. 07 C 6112, 2009 WL 2916852, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 2, 2009). In that regard, the class definition "must not be so broad as to include individuals who are without standing to maintain the action on their own behalf.'" Id. (quoting Oshana v. Coca-Cola Bottling Co., 225 F.R.D. 575, 580 (N.D. Ill. 2005)). The Village argues that Plaintiff's proposed class definition violates this principle because it improperly includes members whose claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
There is no dispute that "individuals with time-barred claims may not be included within a proposed class." Daniels v. Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, 194 F.R.D. 609, 618 (N.D. Ill. 2000) (quoting Sample v. Aldi Inc., No. 93 C 3094, 1994 WL 48780, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 15, 1994)). In Illinois, § 1983 claims such as Plaintiff's are subject to a two year statute of limitations. Dominguez v. Hendley, 545 F.3d 585, 588 (7th Cir. 2008). Plaintiff filed this lawsuit on May 18, 2011, at which point the statute of limitations was tolled for all unnamed class members. See Larson v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., 530 F.3d 578, 582 (7th Cir. 2008). Thus, the putative class can include any individual who was charged a booking fee on or after May 18, 2009.
The Village argues that the Court should deny class certification altogether because the class definition could be read to include potential plaintiffs who were arrested prior to May 18, 2009. (Doc. 29, at 5). Plaintiff disagrees that the definition is improper, but suggests that the Court modify the language to clarify the applicable time-frame. (Doc. 37, at 2) (citing In re Motorola Sec. Litig., 644 F.3d 511, 518 (7th Cir. 2011) ("[A] district court has the authority to modify a class definition at different stages in litigation.")). The Court finds Plaintiff's proposed solution both appropriate and reasonable, and adopts the following class definition:
[a]ll individuals who, on or after May 18, 2009, were deprived of their property pursuant to Downers Grove Municipal Ordinance 17.3.2 without being provided the constitutionally guaranteed due process of law.
With this modification, the Village's objection to certification based on the class definition is overruled.
II. Rule 23(a)
The Village does not dispute that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements of Rule 23(a). Nevertheless, the Court addresses each element pursuant to its "independent obligation to decide whether an action brought on a class basis is to be so maintained." Kasalo v. Harris & Harris, Ltd., 656 F.3d 557, 563 (7th Cir. 2011) (internal quotations omitted). See also Davis v. Hutchins, 321 F.3d 641, 649 (7th Cir. 2003) (quoting General Telephone Co. of the Southwest v. Falcon, 457 U.S. 147, 160-61 (1982)) (the district court must conduct a "rigorous analysis" to ensure "actual, not presumed, conformance with Rule 23(a).").
A. Numerosity
Rule 23(a)(1) requires that the class be "so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable." See Spano v. The Boeing Co., 633 F.3d 574, 583 (7th Cir. 2011). Plaintiff is not required to specify the exact number of individuals in the class, but he "cannot rely on conclusory allegations that joinder is impractical or speculation as to the size of the class in order to prove numerosity." Chavez v. Don Stoltzner Mason Contractor, Inc., 272 F.R.D. 450, 453-54 (N.D. Ill. 2011) (quoting Marcial v. Coronet Ins. Co., 880 F.2d 954, 957 (7th Cir. 1989)). There is no magic number requiring or barring a finding of numerosity, but "a class including more than 40 members is generally believed to be sufficient." Barragan v. Evanger's Dog and Cat Food Co., 259 F.R.D. 330, 333 (N.D. Ill. 2009).
Plaintiff has submitted the 2008 Downers Grove Police Department Annual Report showing that there were approximately 1,977 arrests that year (consisting of 1,438 adult arrests and 539 juvenile arrests). (Doc. 7, Ex. C). The Village does not dispute this figure or suggest that the proposed class is too small for purposes of Rule 23(a)(1). On these facts, the Court is satisfied that the class is sufficiently numerous to warrant class treatment.
B. Commonality
To establish the commonality requirement of Rule 23(a)(2), Plaintiff must show that "there are questions of law or fact common to the class." See Groussman v. Motorola, Inc., No. 10 C 911, 2011 WL 5554030, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 15, 2011). This means that "class members have suffered the same injury" and have claims that "depend upon a common contention." Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, 131 S.Ct. 2541, 2551 (2011) (internal quotations omitted). That common contention, moreover, "must be of such a nature that it is capable of classwide resolution -- which means that determination of its truth or falsity will resolve an issue that is central to the validity of each one of the claims in one stroke." Groussman, 2011 WL 5554030, at *3 (quoting Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 131 S.Ct. at 2551).
Plaintiff argues that the class members all suffered a violation of their Fourteenth Amendment rights when the Village seized their property without due process of law. The putative plaintiffs all seek to redress the common question of whether the $30 booking fee is unconstitutional, and this is a central issue in the case. When, as here, "a question of law refers to standardized conduct by [the Village] toward members of the class, . . . the commonality requirement is usually met." Westefer v. Snyder, Nos. 00-162-GPM, 00-708-GPM, 2006 WL 2639972, at *3 (S.D. Ill. Sept. 12, 2006) (quoting Maxwell v. Arrow Fin. Servs., LLC, No. 03 C 1995, 2004 WL 719278, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 31, 2004)). As with the numerosity requirement, the Village does not dispute Plaintiff's showing of commonality, and the Court finds that it is satisfied in this case.
C. Typicality
The claim of a representative party is typical for purposes of Rule 23(a)(3) if it "arises from the same event or practice or course of conduct that gives rise to the claims of other class members and . . . h[is] claims are based on the same legal theory.'" Pezl v. Amore Mio, Inc., 259 F.R.D. 344, 347 (N.D. Ill. 2009) (quoting Oshana, 472 F.3d at 514). The Seventh Circuit has explained that "[a]lthough [t]he typicality requirement may be satisfied even if there are factual distinctions between the claims of the named plaintiffs and those of other class members, the requirement primarily directs the district court to focus on whether the named representatives' claims have the same essential characteristics as the claims of the class at large." Muro v. Target Corp., 580 F.3d 485, 492 (7th Cir. 2009) (internal quotations omitted). Here, Plaintiff alleges that he and the putative class members were all required to pay an unconstitutional booking fee after being arrested in Downers Grove. The Court finds, and the Village does not dispute, that Plaintiff's claim is typical of the class for purposes of Rule 23(a)(3).
D. Adequacy of Representation
A court's inquiry into the adequacy of representation under Rule 23(a)(4) "consists of two parts: (1) the adequacy of the named plaintiffs as representatives of the proposed class's myriad members, with their differing and separate interests, and (2) the adequacy of the proposed class counsel." Gomez v. St. Vincent Health, Inc., 649 F.3d 583, 592 (7th Cir. 2011). A named plaintiff is an adequate representative as long as he does not have "antagonistic or conflicting claims with other members of the class," and has a "sufficient interest in the outcome to ensure vigorous advocacy." Baxter v. Kawasaki Motors Corp., 259 F.R.D. 336, 342 (N.D. Ill. 2009) (quoting Lifanda v. Elmhurst Dodge, No. 99 C 5830, 2001 WL 755189, at *3 (N.D. Ill. July 2, 2001)). Class counsel is adequate if the attorneys are "competent, experienced, qualified and generally able to conduct the proposed litigation vigorously." Id.
Plaintiff affirms that he "understands the obligations of a class representative," and contends that "[g]iven the identity of claims between [himself] and the class members, there is no potential for conflicting interests in this action." (Doc. 7, at 7, 8). Plaintiff also notes that he has retained counsel with "extensive experience in class action litigation." (Id. at 8 and Exs. D and E). The Village does not dispute any of these propositions, and the Court is satisfied that Plaintiff will adequately represent a class in this case.
III. Rule 23(b)(3)
As noted, Plaintiff seeks class certification under Rule 23(b)(3), which requires that "questions [of law] or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy." Siegel, 612 F.3d at 935. In determining whether an action is proper under Rule 23(b)(3), courts consider the following factors:
(A) the class members' interests in individually controlling the prosecution or defense of separate actions; (B) the extent and nature of any litigation concerning the controversy already begun by or against class members; (C) the desirability or undesirability of concentrating the litigation of the claims in the particular forum; (D) the likely difficulties in managing a class action. Hawkins v. Securitas Sec. Servs. USA, Inc., No. 09 C 3633, 2011 WL 5598365, at *6 (N.D.
Ill. Nov. 16, 2011). See also Silversman v. Motorola, Inc., 259 F.R.D. 163, 168 (N.D. Ill. 2009). The Village challenges only the predominance requirement.
A. Predominance
The predominance requirement of Rule 23(b)(3) is more demanding than Rule 23(a)'s commonality requirement. Amchem Prods., Inc. v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591, 623-24 (1997). It "looks to whether the proposed class is 'sufficiently cohesive' to warrant
'adjudication by representation.'" Williams-Green v. J. Alexander's Restaurants, Inc., __ F.R.D. __, 2011 WL 3882797, at *9 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 1, 2011) (quoting Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 131 S.Ct. at 2566). In evaluating this requirement, the Court must "identify 'the substantive issues that will control the outcome, assess[] which issues will predominate, and then determin[e] whether the issues are common to the class.'" Id. (quoting Hyderi v. Washington Mut. Bank, FA, 235 F.R.D. 390, 398 (N.D. Ill. 2006)). Where individual issues predominate, class certification is "usually not a superior method for resolving the controversy, since management of such issues by a court will not be efficient." Randolph v. Crown Asset Mgmt., LLC, 254 F.R.D. 513, 519 (N.D. Ill. 2008).
The Village argues that common issues do not predominate in this case because the class includes individuals who were ultimately convicted of their crimes. Such individuals, the Village insists, "cannot establish, as a matter of law, that their constitutional rights have been violated." (Doc. 29, at 6). In support of this argument, the Village directs the Court to Payton v. County of Carroll, 473 F.3d 845 (7th Cir. 2007), in which the plaintiffs challenged the constitutionality of a small "administrative fee for the privilege of posting a 10 percent bond with the sheriff." Id. at 846. The district court dismissed the due process counts on the grounds that "charging arrestees a fee in exchange for providing a service simply does not implicate the Constitution." Id. at 850. The court noted that "arrestees usually have the alternative of paying their bond to the clerk without the fee . . ., and that arrestees may petition to have their bail reduced." Id.
In affirming the dismissal, the Seventh Circuit found it significant that "the system as a whole contain[ed] a number of safeguards against detention of people who c[ould] not afford this fee." Id. at 851. For example, detainees had the option of "paying a county clerk (perhaps waiting for that office to open), paying the bond in full, or putting down property as collateral." Id. The court observed that "the sheriffs ha[d] a legitimate interest in recouping some of the costs of administering the bail system," and concluded that the plaintiffs had not stated a claim for a deprivation of due process. Id. at 852.
The Village interprets Payton to mean that arrestees who were ultimately convicted of a crime did not suffer any constitutional injury because "states have a legitimate interest in transferring the costs of [that] crime from municipalities to criminals." (Doc. 29, at 6). From there, the Village posits that "there are a great number of potential plaintiffs" who were convicted of their crimes and have no viable claims, which defeats the predominance requirement. (Id.). In making this argument, the Village provides no discussion of Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319 (1976), which established the general framework for due process analysis. Nor does the Village explain why its particular booking fee statute provides adequate procedural due process for individuals who were convicted of crimes. In that regard, Payton is easily distinguishable from this case because it involved plaintiffs who could avoid paying the administrative fee by choosing different bail options. Here, conversely, Plaintiff and the putative class members had no option but to pay the $30 booking fee.
The Court is not convinced that the putative class "contains a great many persons who have suffered no injury at the hands of the defendant." Kohen v. Pacific Inv. Mgmt. Co., 571 F.3d 672, 677 (7th Cir. 2009). Indeed, it should be relatively easy to determine who is eligible for inclusion in the class because each arrestee who paid a booking fee was also issued a receipt. (Doc. 7, at 6). See also Coleman v. County of Kane, 196 F.R.D. 505, 507, 509 (N.D. Ill. 2000) (certifying "readily identifiable class" of "[a]ll persons who were detained at the Kane County Jail prior to January 1, 2000, and who were required to pay an $11.00 sheriff's processing fee to secure their release on bond."). To the extent it may turn out that convicted class members are not in fact entitled to relief, the Court has broad discretion to modify the class definition as appropriate, In re Motorola Sec. Litig., 644
F.3d at 518, and the Seventh Circuit has instructed that the need for "separate proceedings of some character" does "not defeat class treatment of the question whether [the Village] violated [the law]." Carnegie v. Household Int'l, Inc., 376 F.3d 656, 661 (7th Cir. 2004). See also Randolph, 254 F.R.D. at 519.
In sum, Plaintiff has demonstrated that common issues predominate in this case for purposes of Rule 23(b)(3).
B. Superiority
Rule 23(b)(3) also requires that a class action be "superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy." In re Aqua Dots Prods. Liability Litig., 654 F.3d 748, 751 (7th Cir. 2011). Courts have found that "[a] class action is superior where potential damages may be too insignificant to provide class members with incentive to pursue a claim individually." Streeter v. Sheriff of Cook County, 256 F.R.D. 609, 614 (N.D. Ill. 2009) (quoting Herkert v. MRC Receivables Corp., 254 F.R.D. 344, 352-53 (N.D. Ill. 2008)). The amount of damages at stake here is extremely small -- around $30 per class member -- making this case particularly well-suited for class treatment. The Village does not challenge this element of Plaintiff's certification case, and the Court finds that a class action is superior to other methods of adjudicating the putative plaintiffs' claims. See, e.g., Coleman, 196 F.R.D. at 509 (class action was superior for plaintiffs who were required to pay a nonrefundable fee to secure pretrial release where they were "unlikely, and probably unable, to pursue individual claims of $11," and "a class action will prevent duplicative trials and promote efficiency of resources.").
For the reasons stated above, Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification [6] is granted.

RICARDO ANEZ, PETITIONER,v.JAMES SHERMAN, RESPONDENT.
Chief Magistrate Judge Baxter
This habeas action filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 was referred to Chief United States Magistrate Judge Susan Paradise Baxter for a report and recommendation in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and Rules 72.1.3 and 72.1.4 of the Local Rules for Magistrate Judges.
In his petition for writ of habeas corpus before this Court, Petitioner contends that the Bureau of Prisons (the "BOP") erred when it calculated his federal sentence. On October 9, 2007, Magistrate Judge Baxter issued a Report and Recommendation (Doc. No. 18) recommending that the petition be denied. Petitioner has filed Objections to the Report and Recommendation. (Doc. No. 20). Where, as here, objections have been filed, the Court is required to make a de novo determination as to those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which objections were made. See 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b)(1).
We have carefully examined de novo all claims raised by Petitioner in his objections and find that they have no merit. We write only to address his contention that the BOP should have computed his sentence to have commenced on the date it was imposed -- April 12, 2000. He requests that we order the production of his state bail hearing transcripts so that he can support his allegation that he was in primary federal custody on that date. (Doc. No. 21). His request is denied because, as explained below, his allegations are refuted by the records submitted by Respondent, which demonstrate that he was in the primary custody of the State of Ohio on the date his federal sentence was imposed.
18 U.S.C. 3585(a) governs the date upon which a federal sentence commences. It provides:
(a) Commencement of sentence. -- A sentence to a term of imprisonment commences on the date the defendant is received in custody awaiting transportation to, or arrives voluntarily to commence service of sentence at, the official detention facility at which the sentence is to be served.
18 U.S.C. § 3585(a) (emphasis added). A federal sentence cannot commence earlier than the date on which it was imposed. See e.g., United States v. LaBeille-Soto, 163 F.3d 93, 98 (2nd Cir. 1998); Shelvy v. Whitfield, 718 F.2d 441, 444 (D.C. Cir. 1983); see also BOP Program Statement 5880.28, Sentence Computation Manual, Chapt. I.3, Page 13.
BOP policy regarding the application of 18 U.S.C. § 3585(a) is set forth in Program Statement 5880.28, Sentence Computation Manual, Chapter I.3 at Pages 12-13. It instructs:
If the prisoner is serving no other federal sentence at the time the sentence is imposed, and is in exclusive federal custody (not under the jurisdiction of a federal writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum) at the time of sentencing on the basis of the conviction for which the sentence is imposed, the sentence commences on the date of imposition, even if a state sentence is running along concurrently.
BOP Program Statement 5880.28, Chapt. I.3 at Page 12 (emphasis in original). This policy is an application of the common law doctrine regarding priority of custody that was adopted to provide an orderly method by which to prosecute an individual that has violated the law of more than one sovereign. The doctrine was first recognized by the United States Supreme Court in Ponzi v. Fessenden, 258 U.S. 254 (1922). See e.g., Bowman v. Wilson, 672 F.2d 1145, 1153-54 (3d Cir. 1982); Chambers v. Holland, 920 F.Supp. 618, 621 (M.D. Pa.), aff'd, 100 F.3d 946 (3d Cir. 1996). It was developed to promote comity, mutual assistance, and orderly procedure. Its purpose is not to provide a prisoner with the means to avoid serving time on sentences to which he is subject. Bowman, 672 F.2d at 1153-54 (prisoners "are not the beneficiaries of the rule allocating priority of prosecution to the sovereignty which first takes custody of a person.")
In relevant part, the doctrine provides that the sovereign that first arrests an individual has primary control, or custody, over him. That sovereign's claim over the individual has priority over all other sovereigns that subsequently arrest him, and it is entitled to have him serve a sentence it imposes before he serves a sentence imposed by any other jurisdiction.
See e.g., Bowman, 672 F.2d at 1153. Primary custody remains vested in the sovereign that first arrests the individual until it "relinquishes its priority by, e.g., bail release, dismissal of the state charges, parole release, or expiration of the sentence." Chambers, 920 F.Supp. at 622 (citations omitted). The determination of priority of custody between a state and the federal government is to be resolved by the executive branches of the two sovereigns. United States v. Warren, 610 F.2d 680, 684-85 (9th Cir. 1980) (citing Ponzi, 258 U.S. at 261-62).
The BOP has incorporated the common law doctrine into its policies. Thus, when a federal district court sentences a prisoner who at the time is in the primary custody of a state, the prisoner generally will be returned to the state after federal sentencing and the BOP will commence the prisoner's federal sentence when the state relinquishes its custody and releases the prisoner to federal custody.*fn1 18 U.S.C. § 3585(a); see also BOP Program Statement 5880.28, Chapt. I.3 at Pages 12-13, 31--33. On the other hand, when a prisoner is in the primary custody of the federal government on the date his federal sentence is imposed, the BOP will deem the sentence to have commenced on that date ("even if a state sentence is running along concurrently"). BOP Program Statement 5880.28, Chapt. I.3 at Page 12.
Petitioner contends that he was in federal custody on the date his federal sentence was imposed (April 12, 2000) and that therefore the BOP should have commenced his sentence on that date. He argues that the State of Ohio relinquished primary custody of him to federal authorities on Friday, January 29, 1999 because on that date the state court judge issued an order setting bond.*fn2 He insists that the Wood County (Ohio) Jail authorities refused to release him on bond solely because of the issuance of a federal detainer. As a result, he maintains, the state/local officials were merely holding him for federal officials and so from January 29, 1999 forward he was in the primary custody of the federal government.
The records submitted by Respondent and the federal case and docket information available for review on Public Access to Court Electronic Records ("PACER") refute Petitioner's allegations. They demonstrate that the federal arrest warrant was not issued until Wednesday, February 3, 1999. (Doc. No. 12, Ex. 1 at ¶ 4 (referencing the docket of United States v. Ricardo Anes, Case No. 99-CR-706 (N.D. OH)). Therefore, a federal warrant or detainer could not have been the reason he was not released on bond on January 29, 1999.
Additionally, the conduct of the state and federal authorities also refute Petitioner's allegations. They consistently operated under the understanding that the state had primary custody over Petitioner. When the United States Marshals Service ("USMS") obtained physical custody of Petitioner from the state on February 11, 1999, it did so pursuant to a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum. (Doc. No. 9, Ex. 2 at ¶ 4(e); Ex. 2c). "A prisoner detained pursuant to a writ ad prosequendum is considered to remain in the primary custody of the first jurisdiction unless and until the first sovereign relinquishes jurisdiction over the person. The receiving sovereign-in this case, the federal government-is, therefore, considered simply to be 'borrowing' the prisoner from the sending sovereign for the purposes of indicting, arraigning, trying, and sentencing him." Ruggiano v. Reish, 307 F.3d 121, 125 n.1 (3d Cir. 2002) (citations omitted). On February 23, 1999, the USMS returned him to the Wood County Jail in satisfaction of the writ. (Doc. No. 9, Ex. 2 at ¶ 4g). On March 29, 1999, a jury empaneled by the Court of Common Pleas of Wood County convicted Petitioner on the state criminal charges of felonious assault and assault. (Id. at ¶ 4h). On May 24, 1999, the state court sentenced him to four years incarceration. (Id. at ¶ 4i; Ex. 2b at 13-14). On November 30, 1999, the USMS once again borrowed him from the state pursuant to a federal writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum. (Id. at ¶ 4k). He pleaded guilty to the outstanding federal charges and on April 12, 2000, Judge Potter sentenced him. (Id. at ¶ 4m; Ex. 2e). On April 18, 2000, the USMS returned him to state authorities in satisfaction of the federal writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendumand it lodged a detainer with the state requesting that it release Petitioner to federal custody once he satisfied his obligation to the state. (Id. at ¶ 4(o); Ex. 2c).
Since the determination of priority of custody is a matter resolved by the state and federal executive branches, the manner in which they handled Petitioner is evidence as to which sovereign had primary custody over him. In this case, each sovereign's conduct with regard to Petitioner demonstrates that he remained in the primary custody of the State of Ohio until it released him on December 18, 2002 in satisfaction of his state sentence.
In conclusion, the BOP Policy set forth in Program Statement 5880.28 that directs that a prisoner's federal sentence commences upon imposition if he "is in exclusive federal custody (not under the jurisdiction of a federal writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum)," does not apply to Petitioner. On December 18, 2002, he was "received in custody awaiting transportation to" a federal facility to serve his federal sentence and the BOP properly calculated his sentence to have commenced on that date pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3585(a).
Petitioner also challenges Chief Magistrate Judge Baxter's determination that the BOP properly calculated his prior custody credit under 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b). His objections have no merit and he is not entitled to the challenged prior custody credit for the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation.
AND NOW, this 17th day of December, 2007; Following a de novo review of the pleadings and record in this case, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation by Chief Magistrate Judge Baxter be adopted as the opinion of this Court as supplemented herein.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Courts is directed to close this case.

Palomino Chop Chop Salad
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 0 mins
My favorite entree salad, from Palomino's Restaurants. This is attributed to Palomino Chef Gail Tronnes. Scoured to find this version, posted in the travel section of a university web site.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups julienne-sliced romaine lettuce
- 1 tablespoon julienne-sliced fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons italian provolone cheese, cut in 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon garbanzo beans
- 2 tablespoons genoa salami or 2 tablespoons wine salami
- 3 tablespoons powdered parmesan cheese
- 1⁄4 cup julienne-sliced smoked turkey breast
- chopped tomato (to garnish)
- freshly cracked pepper
balsamic vinaigrette
- 2 pasteurized egg yolks
- 3⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 finely minced garlic cloves
- 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups olive oil
- Make dressing in a mixing bowl. Whisk egg yolks for 2-3 minutes, then add vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk 2-3 minutes. Slowly add oil to emulsify. Refrigerate until needed.
- Combine greens, basil, provolone, garbanzos, salami in a bowl; add ½ cup dressing. Toss to combine. Add parmesan, turkey, and toss.
- Place salad on plate; top with tomato. Serve with pepper mill. The restaurant offers this as 1 large serving but with crusty bread and a cold drink it is a very nice dinner for 2. Also great side for 4-6 servings.
Most Helpful
I needed to make a substantial salad for a potluck cause the main meal was vegetarian lasagna. I love the Palomino's here in Mpls, and I've had this salad. This was a huge hit. I served the salad ingredients build-your-own style. I included artichoke hearts, olives, pepperoncinis and toasted pine nuts. This recipe makes a boat-load of dressing, so if you want left-over it's great, otherwise cut it in half. If anyone is worried about the raw eggs, just dip the unopened eggs in boiling water for about 1 or 2 minutes and then run it under cold water right away. Use when cool.
Great salad! Fabulous dressing!
Bless you for finding this - Palominos in Seattle was a regular stop when I made it to town and this was my favorite order. How nice that I can make it at home!

After Dark dropped us a line today with their proposed third film to die for joining the previously announced Dread and The Graves, a little flick that will hopefully move along swimmingly called Lake Mungo.
In Lake Mungo sixteen-year-old Alice Palmer drowns while swimming in the local dam. When her body is recovered and a verdict of accidental death returned, her grieving family buries her. The family then experiences a series of strange and inexplicable events centered in and around their home. Profoundly unsettled, the Palmers seek the help of psychic and parapsychologist Ray Kemeny. Ray discovers that Alice led a secret, double life. A series of clues lead the family to Lake Mungo, where Alice's secret past emerges.
Lake Mungo marks the feature fim debut for writer/director Joel Anderson and stars Talia Zucker, Rosie Traynor, David Pledger, and Martin Sharpe.
After Dark Horrorfest 4 runs for one week in theatres across the United States from January 29nd–February 5th, 2010.

Iraqi forces make gains in push to retake IS-held Mosul
By W.G. Dunlop and Jean Marc Mojon, AFP
October 19, 2016, 12:17 am TWN
QAYYARAH, Iraq--Iraqi forces were making gains as tens of thousands of fighters advanced on Mosul Tuesday in an unprecedented offensive to retake the city from the Islamic State group.
With the crucial battle in its second day, Iraqi commanders said progress was being made as fighters pushed on two main fronts against the jihadists' last stronghold in Iraq.
The U.S. military, which is leading a coalition providing air and ground support, said Iraqi forces even looked "ahead of schedule" but senior Western officials warned the battle would be long and difficult.
Advancing in armored convoys across the dusty plains surrounding Mosul, forces moved into villages defended by pockets of IS fighters after intensive aerial bombardment.
Massive columns of smoke rose from burning oil wells near the main staging base for government forces in Qayyarah, blotting out the horizon.
A soldier at a checkpoint nearby said that IS lit the wells on fire to provide cover from air strikes before the town of Qayyarah was retaken in late August. The fires had been burning ever since.
Speaking to AFP from inside the city, Abu Saif said that while the sounds of air strikes and explosions could be heard coming from outside Mosul, its streets were eerily quiet.
'Empty streets'
"The streets are empty, the people have been staying at home since the strikes started yesterday," said Abu Saif, a 47-year-old former company manager.
"There is this happiness inside us ... because we feel that we are about to be rescued," he said.
The long-awaited Mosul offensive was launched on Monday, with some 30,000 federal forces leading Iraq's largest military operation since the 2011 pullout of U.S. troops.
Retaking Mosul would deprive IS of the last major Iraqi city under its control, dealing a fatal blow to the "caliphate" the jihadists declared two years ago after seizing large parts of Iraq and neighboring Syria.
Iraqi commanders said IS fighters were hitting back with suicide car bomb attacks but that the offensive was going as planned.

WEST PALM BEACH - Attorneys for a pair of promoters suing Venus and Serena Williams and their father accused the three on Tuesday of committing perjury during their testimony.
In a motion filed Tuesday in Palm Beach Circuit Court, the attorneys accuse the sisters of "a repeated pattern of deception and falsehood."
Promoters Carol Clarke and Keith Rhodes, owners of a company called CCKR, allege that the sisters' father, Richard Williams, signed a contract on their behalf committing his daughters to play in a 2001 match. The promoters claim they lost millions of dollars after the sisters reneged on the deal.
Despite tax returns that show payments to Richard Williams for management fees, Venus and Serena Williams both testified that their father has never been their manager and had no authority to commit them to a deal. Attorneys for the sisters and their father claim the payments were mischaracterized for tax-deduction purposes and that Richard Williams was paid merely for coaching services.
In the motion, plaintiffs' attorneys claim to have found several agreements that Richard Williams signed on his daughters' behalf, including one 2000 deal for the sisters to serve as the grand marshals of the Orange Bowl Parade.
"In direct conflict with their sworn testimony, and the representations to this Honorable Court made by their counsel ... these documents clearly show that Venus Williams and Serena Williams did not sign certain contracts and agreements and that defendant Richard Williams did in fact sign certain contracts or agreements on behalf of his daughters," the motion states.
A telephone call Tuesday to the plaintiffs' attorneys was not immediately returned.
The sisters' attorney, F. Malcolm Cunningham, said Tuesday that they earned no money from the Orange Bowl commitment. He reiterated his claim that the sisters themselves are the only ones who can commit to any contract where money is exchanged for their services.
"Since Venus and Serena have been 18, they sign their own contracts without exception," Cunningham said outside court. "Nobody signs for them."
After hearing arguments from both sides, Judge Jeffrey Winikoff asked the sisters' attorneys to turn over to him more than two dozen sponsorship and endorsement agreements by Friday.
The judge said he would review the documents and determine what action to take, if any.
"It may be that, with all due respect, that this is smoke," Winikoff said.
Richard Williams has acknowledged drawing up terms of a potential contract for the 2001 event, but he insists he told promoters they would have to go through the IMG sports agency, which represents Venus and Serena, to complete any agreement. The promoters say he made no such disclaimer.
The trial began Nov. 17 and was expected to continue until mid-December. A first trial in the case ended in a mistrial last year. Jurors have the option of finding Richard Williams liable, alone. They could also find the sisters and their father liable or dismiss the allegations.

At its March 17 meeting, the Bath (Haverling) Central School District Board of Education unanimously approved the presentation of a $35.4 million proposed capital project to voters on May 17, 2016.
Highlights of the project include creating new STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) suites at the middle and high schools, renovation of the primary school cafeteria and kitchen, renovation of the middle school cafeteria, infrastructure upgrades and athletic field reconfigurations, including a new state-of-the-art turf field for the football stadium.
The project takes advantage of the district's building aid reimbursement rate of 92 percent and will result in no additional tax impact to the community.
Several informal presentations will take place throughout the community prior to the formal budget/capital project presentation on May 3 at 7:00 p.m. in the Haverling Auditorium. The public referendum on the budget and capital project is set for May 17 from noon to 8:00 p.m. in the Bath Central School District Office.
In other updates from the Board of Education:
Although some details of the 2016-17 budget have yet to be finalized, the Board of Education has determined that the district will release a budget for voter approval in the near future which will result in a decrease in the tax rate. The property tax cap for Bath Central School is -0.34 percent. The district will use any new aid from the state, savings from shared services and fund balance carryover from the current 2015-16 school year budget to maintain all programs and reduce the tax levy. The property tax rate will be reduced for the third consecutive year and is projected to remain below levels from the 2010-11 school year.
The district will have two vacancies on the Board of Education up for election in May. The seats currently held by President Michael Mishook and member Scott Ward will expire on June 30, 2016. Both incumbents have indicated they will seek re-election to new five-year terms.
Qualified voters in the Bath Central School District may cast their votes on the proposed 2016-17 budget, proposed capital project and the school bus referendum and elect two candidates to the Board of Education on statewide voting day, Tuesday, May 17, 2016 from noon to 8:00 p.m. in the Bath District Office.
