In the Department of Homeland Security's latest attempt to expedite the release of its blocked "no-match" regulation, the US Department of Justice filed a notice of appeal on the agency's behalf seeking to overturn the Oct 10, 2007, preliminary injunction granted by Judge Charles Breyer of the Northern District of California stopping DHS from implementing its "no-match" regulation, including mailing or otherwise sending to employers Social Security Administration "no-match" letter packets that have DHS guidance letters explaining the regulation. According to an official notice published in the Federal Register, all US employers must start using the Department of Homeland Security's revised Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification and M-274, Handbook for Employers, Instructions for ...
SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge on Wednesday granted a request by labor and civil liberties organizations to temporarily block the U.S. government from proceeding with a program to crack down on businesses that may be employing illegal immigrants. S. District Judge Charles Breyer said the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security could not go ahead with their plan to send joint letters warning businesses they'll face penalties if they keep workers whose Social Security numbers don't match their names.
The U.S. Supreme Court said Monday that a federal judge in San Francisco should have permitted the U.S. Department of Agriculture to partially deregulate alfalfa seed resistant to Monsanto Co.'s Roundup herbicide. S. District Judge Charles Breyer in 2007 banned the planting of Monsanto's Roundup Ready Alfalfa, pending an environmental impact statement by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS. The injunction against planting the seed extended to the entire nation.
In a victory that is likely to take the air out of one of the latest mass torts against the pharmaceutical industry, Amy Schulman won a dramatic defense victory for Pfizer in a failure-to-warn case concerning its arthritis drug, Celebrex. In November, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer - the brother of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer - held that the plaintiffs did not present scientifically reliable evidence that the drug causes heart attacks or strokes when taken at a daily dose of 200 milligrams, the dose Pfizer claims is most common.
I do a lot of thinking when I'm in a tractor," says Jerry Tlucek, who runs a dairy south of Nampa. "And I like to be with God - you know, just the Lord and me." Tlucek was the first farmer in the country to grow Roundup Ready alfalfa hay, and his fields are a sort of testament to the promise of biotechnology: They stand emerald-green and surreally flawless amid the sagebrush and cheatgrass here. "I won't plant conventional alfalfa again. I've never seen anything like this," says Tlucek. "(Roundup) will kill every weed in there, and it won't kill one blade of alfalfa. Following [Charles R. Breyer]'s initial ruling, Monsanto and Forage Genetics had seized on the idea of "coexistence" among genetically modified, conventional and organic crops. The two companies sent a letter to alfalfa g...
Behind this revolution in farming is Monsanto, the storied, St. Louis-based chemical company. Monsanto not only manufactures Roundup, but also genetically engineered the Roundup-resistant gene into the alfalfa that [Paul Rasgorshek] began growing three years ago. Today, "Roundup Ready" alfalfa is planted on some 220,000 acres nationwide, and Rasgorshek is an unapologetic genetic-engineering loyalist. "In today's agriculture, if you just sit back, you're not gonna survive," he says. "If you don't change with the times, you're gonna go down. Following [Charles R. Breyer]'s initial ruling, Monsanto and Forage Genetics had seized on the idea of "coexistence" between genetically modified, conventional and organic crops. The two companies sent a letter to alfalfa growers asking them to write...
Nor do the authors discuss the not infrequent recusals resulting from the presence of Justice Stephen Breyer's brother, Charles Breyer, on the federal district court (N.D.Cal.) and his service by designation on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which affect consideration of certiorari petitions and that has also occurred in a decision the Court decided on the merits.
SAN FRANCISCO (HedgeWorld.com) - Randolph Stephen Bronte, founder of Stephen Bronte Advisors LLC and manager of two hedge funds dealing in Japanese securities, received a 41-month sentence following his March 2 conviction on tax evasion charges. Mr. Bronte was also ordered to pay a US$150,000 fine and US$21,453 in prosecution costs.

SAN FRANCISCO - The U.S. government's plan to crack down on undocumented immigrant workers by targeting their employers was put on hold at least 10 more days Monday after the federal judge hearing a lawsuit to block it said he needed more time to issue a ruling. S. District Judge Charles Breyer heard arguments in a legal challenge to a proposal by the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security to joint send letters warning businesses they'll face penalties if they keep workers whose Social Security numbers don't match their names.
