This case was entitled Randall V. Shelton. The plaintiff claimed that she was in her yard one day working when a dual wheeled pickup truck passed on the road. When passing, the pickup flung a rock out of its tire and struck the plaintiff in the leg. The defendant claimed that the plaintiff cannot prove the truck which threw the rock was indeed his, for there was no video evidence of the incident. The plaintiff proved the rock was what indeed struck her and that it was thrown in the direction of her from the road. Since there was not intent to trespass and not an extra hazardous activity, the plaintiff could not collect money for her injury. This relates to class because it discusses responsibility of personal property (the defendants pickup truck). He is responsible for making sure there are no rocks (or hazardous material) in his tires possibly acting as a threat to others. Though he is responsible for his pickup, in this case there was more to the story and he was not responsible to pay. It also relates because the plaintiff was arguing that the rock trespassed onto her yard from the highway and acted as a threat to her causing injury. She argued she was not responsible because there was negligence when the defendant flung a rock onto her property causing her broken

DISCUSSION I. Under the Ohio Duty of Care Owed to Trespasser Statute, even though Oleg Burov likely knew that children might trespass on his property, he will likely not be liable for a slip and fall injury Frank Gaad sustained outside a hot tub on Burov’s property. Using the doctrine of attractive nuisance the Ohio Duty of Care Owed to Trespasser Statute establishes the liability of real property owners for injuries sustained by minor trespassers. Mayle v. McDonald Steel Corp., No. 2010-T-0090, 2011 Ohio App. LEXIS 4319, at *18 (Ohio Ct. App. Oct. 7, 2011).
Argument Summary judgment is appropriate when the moving party can show that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Cecil v. Cardinal Drilling Co., 244 Mont. 405, 409, 797 P.2d 232, 234 (1990); Mont. R. Civ. P. 56(c). A material fact involves the elements of the cause of action or defenses at issue to an extent that necessitates resolution of the issue by a trier of fact. Arnold v. Yellowstone Mountain Club, LLC, 2004 MT 284, ¶ 15, 323 Mont. 295, 100 P.3d 137.

Issue Case name: State of Oregon vs Kenneth James Harris, October 19th, 2017 Facts of the case: In the case there were two parties, one party including the defendant, Kenneth James Harris, and the State of Oregon. The dispute is based on the state of Oregon issuing a subpoena for the witness to come to trial for the case of the defendant, however, the witness failed to do so and was unavailable. The defendant argued that the only way the witness is unavailable is if the state did everything in their power to try to get the witness to court.

The court cases Goldberg and Wheeler do not stand for the proposition that only welfare benefits for people in extreme circumstances are entitled to pre-termination hearings. However, this is one situation where cutting off benefits with little or no notice could affect the well-being of the family or person. Any programs that offer they type of assistance people rely on to survive could benefit from pre-termination hearings, not just the welfare program. Welfare is one of the main public assistance programs, although I think housing assistance and food stamps might fall into the welfare category, they are also in need of a pre-termination hearing. In the Goldberg and Wheeler cases, California and New York did not want to give anyone a hearing

C. Precedent The law is unconstitutional not only due to the meaning of the text itself, but also from many cases of precedent. District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010) have already established the importance of the Second Amendment, but there are other cases as well that back up the courts decision claiming the ban on carrying a concealed weapon is unconstitutional. In Bliss v. Commonwealth, 2 Litt. 90, (KY 1822), established that the right to bear arms was for defense against themselves and the state. This case consisted of a man carrying a concealed weapon in his cane and it is similar to the one in which we face today.
