...Poe V. Leonard Case: Poe v. Leonard (2002) Rule of Law: The conditions for determining whether or not a government officials' denial of qualified immunity based on interlocutory appeal is reviewable if it otherwise satisfies the test of the collateral order doctrine. Facts: A woman (Poe, plaintiff, appellee) was surreptitiously videotaped unclothed while under the pretense that she would be assisting in the creation of a training video for the trainees' program at the Connecticut State Troopers Police Academy by Trooper Pearl, videographer, under the direct command of Captain Leonard(3rd party defendant, appellant). While Pearl's actions were grossly negligent to the point of a violating the plaintiff's Constitutional rights, it is Leonard's actions, or lack thereof, in properly supervising Trooper Pearl that are under question in this case. Issue: Did Leonard's inaction, be it by failing to review the personnel files of those he would be assuming command of, specifically Pearl, or by constructive knowledge of Pearl's history of unbecoming behavior, violate the doctrine in place for qualified immunity, thereby placing Leonard in a liable state, and lead directly to Pearl's ability to have "carte blanche" control over the creation of the training video, which then lead to the Constitutional tort committed upon Poe, on or about the fall of 1992? Poe argues that Leonard acted recklessly by failing to review personnel files, therefore forfeiting his right to qualified immunity...

...construe the evidence in the light most favorable to Poe, the non-moving party. See, e.g., Goldberg v. Cablevision Sys. Corp., 261 F.3d 318, 324 (2d Cir.2001). I. Factual Background A. The Filming of the Trooper Candidate Testing Videos At some time during the fall of 1992, several administrative officials of the Connecticut State Police ("CSP") and the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services began to revise the testing procedures for trooper candidates at the CSP Training Academy ("police academy"). Captain Leonard, who had just assumed command of the CSP Bureau of Selections and Training,[1] supervised this ongoing project along with Dr. Martin Anderson ("Dr. Anderson"), the Chief Personnel Psychologist for the State of Connecticut. A particular focus of this project was the development 127*127 of several testing videos, designed to screen out those trooper candidates with poor observational and communicative skills. In essence, trooper candidates would be required to view a videotaped scene of a crime or other representative "real life" scenario that CSP officers typically confront and then to explain what they had observed. As originally planned, the video scenes would include a variety of circumstances: a depiction of a person driving while intoxicated, a man with a weapon who stops and robs a victim, a simple trespass, a "static" crime scene, and a scene with a distraught victim. During this project, Leonard met with Dr. Anderson and with Pearl, who was the trooper...

...Edgar Allen Poe had a rough early childhood. His mother died at age two, and his father disappeared. He was raised by Frances Allan and John Allan in a foster home. He attended a boarding school from the age of six until he was eleven. As soon as he was eighteen, he published his first set of poems and later joined army for two years. After he had dropped out of the army and from age twenty-two and on, he struggled with a life of poverty. Poe was able to keep going with his art of writing poetry. In 1831, he had released a new, astonishing assortment of poems. After publishing these, he spent four years living with his aunt in Baltimore. During this time, Poe had feared he was going to be imprisoned for his large amount of debt. A few years...

...John D.R. Leonard vs. PepsiCo, Inc. In the case of John Leonard vs. PepsiCo, Leonard wanted to purchase the Harrier jet plane that was advertised in the PepsiCo commercial he had watched. The commercial stated that customers whom obtained $7 million Pepsi points can purchase the Harrier jet plane. Leonard purchased a PepsiCo catalog and noticed that the order form did not include the Harrier jet. Leonard then began the process needed to make his purchase from PepsiCo. The legal issue before the court is whether or not Pepsi made a legitimate offer of a Harrier Jet in return for $7 million Pepsi Points to anyone who viewed the commercial. Being logical it would have seemed that not everyone really believed that a Harrier jet could be purchased. PepsiCo had begun to dig deeper into their previous advertisements and the laws that followed behind them. Once Leonard did his order, PepsiCo rejected his submission and returned the check in the amount of $700,008.50. PepsiCo apologized to Mr. Leonard for any misunderstanding and misleading information the commercial may have caused. The commercial was intended to be humorous and entertaining for promotion purposes for the Pepsi products. Leonard received a letter stating “The item that you have requested is not part of the Pepsi stuff collection. It is not included in the catalogue or on the order form, and only catalogue merchandise can be redeemed under this program” (Court, 1995). The courts made the decision that...

...HISTORY OF FRANCE • 13th century Spreading the weight of vaults over a series of ribs, columns, and pilasters, Gothic architecture allows the dissolution of the wall. Windows in cathedrals and churches are filled with stained glass; the shimmering colored light transfigures the vast interiors. Depicting biblical stories, scenes from the lives of the saints, or single figures, stained-glass windows complement the sculptures on the exterior and the rites and ceremonies observed within. • 1209 The Albigensian Crusade is launched by Pope Innocent III with the help of Cistercian monks. While the original spark for this war springs from papal desire to extinguish the growing problem of heresy in the region surrounding Toulouse, the political struggle between the independent southern territories and lords from northern France, joined after 1226 by Louis VIII, plays itself out in a war. In 1229, Count Raymond VII of Toulouse, who had been Louis VIII's main adversary, is compelled to cede territory to the king's control. • ca. 1210–1250 Artists at Chartres install an elaborate and extensive program of stained-glass windows in the cathedral under construction there. In addition to religious and historical subjects, the intensely colored windows depict numerous scenes of tradespeople at work, including bakers, furriers, wheelwrights, and weavers. These tradespeople were likely contributors—through hefty taxes—to the construction of the church. • 1226 Louis IX (d. 1270), grandson...
