USA v. Carlos Maez, USA v. Matthew Jones, USA v. Cameron Battiste
19-1287, 19-1768, 19-2049
USA v. Maez is an appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Jon DeGuilio.
Criminal. Affirms judgment of the Northern District Court against Carlos Maez in United States v. Maez, 19‐1287. Affirms Matthew Jones’ conviction in United States v. Jones, 19‐1768, vacates his sentence and remands the case to the district court for resentencing. After applying plain‐error review, concludes that the asserted errors do not require reversing any of the convictions, but vacates Jones’ sentence because the district court made a Tapia error. Also affirms Cameron Battiste’s conviction in United States v. Battiste, 19‐2049.
R3 Composites Corp. v. G&S Sales Corp.
19-2290
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. Judge Holly A. Brady.
Civil. Reverses the grant of summary judgment for manufacturer R3 Composites Corporation in a dispute with G&S Sales Corporation regarding sales commissions. Finds a reasonable jury could find that the later job-by-job commission agreements between the parties were governed by the broader terms of the original written contract. Also finds there are factual disputes precluding summary judgment. Judge Diane Sykes dissents with separate opinion.
