    Rodriguez v. United States

    No full text
    Rodriguez v. United States explores the use of drug detection dogs by police officers while conducting routine stopDrug Detection, Dog Sniff, Consents. It examines the citizen\u27s interest in privacy as opposed to the benefit to police of drug detection. Rodriguez argues that his traffic stop by police was complete but was unreasonably prolonged after he denied consent to a dog sniff of his car, and that the wait for a backup officer to arrive at the scene was beyond reasonable. The state argues that the delay was short and, therefore, the stop was reasonable. Since a drug detection dog is only trained to detect contraband, the invasion of privacy is minimal. This presentation examines both arguments that are before the Supreme Court of the United States and the implications for society

    Uktena Fend, Rodriguez & Lenat, 2015, n. gen.

    No full text
    Uktena n. gen. Included species: Uktena riparia n. sp. (type species by monotypy) Diagnosis (autapomorphies are underlined). Medium-sized to large worms with long, superficially-ringed proboscis. Chaetae simple-pointed. Reproductively-mature worms have several modified chaetae in ventral chaetal bundles of two postatrial segments. Two pairs of lateral blood vessels in posterior segments, with many blind branches. Nephridia begin on 10 / 11. One pair of testes in VIII, one pair of ovaries in IX. Male pores paired on VIII, in deep copulatory bursae with associated glands. Prosoporous atria elongate-cylindrical, ampulla covered with clusters of prostatic cells; ectal ducts produce tubular spermatophores. One pair of sperm funnels, extending back one or more segments in sperm sac. Vasa deferentia do not penetrate posterior septum (8 / 9). Female pores on posterior septum of first post-atrial segment. Spermathecae paired in atrial segment, anterior to atria; spermathecal pores within deep bursae containing a glandular, protrusible, copulatory organ for spermatophore attachment. Remarks. Uktena n. gen. has three distinctive autapomorphies, all of which were previously unknown in the family Lumbriculidae: a unique arrangement of genital chaetae, a “copulatory organ” within a large, muscular spermathecal bursa, and tubular spermatophores (see Discussion). The presence of spermathecae in the atrial segment is unusual within the family, but this character is shared with at least three other lumbriculid genera, as well as two species of Dorydrilus Piguet, 1913 (see Discussion). The combination of a prosoporous atrium and spermathecae in the male segment suggests that Uktena is closely related to Kincaidiana Altman, 1936, also a large worm with a filiform proboscis. However, Kincaidiana has the male pores in IX (instead of VIII) and has spermathecae also in postatrial segments. Guestphalinus Michaelsen, 1933 and Cookidrilus Rodriguez & Giani, 1987 are differentiated from Uktena and Kincaidiana by their semiprosoporous male ducts, as well as by the position of atria in IX and X, respectively. The three Cookidrilus species are small worms, without a proboscis, and with spermathecae also in post-atrial segments (Rodriguez & Giani 1987, Route et al. 2004, Rodriguez et al. 2014).Published as part of Fend, Steven V., Rodriguez, Pilar & Lenat, David R., 2015, Uktena riparia n. gen., n. sp. (Annelida, Clitellata, Lumbriculidae), a new spermatophore-producing oligochaete, pp. 411-424 in Zootaxa 3994 (3) on pages 412-413, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3994.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/24610

    OZ REALTY LLC v. RODRIGUEZ

    No full text
    LL commenced a licensee holdover against Mr. Rodriguez, the occupant, who answered with a succession defense to inherit the rent-stabilized lease of the tenant-of-record mother Ms. Gonzalez who vacated the apt. Mr. Rodriguez moved for summary judgment on the succession defense pursuant to CPLR sec. 3212. LL cross-moved for summary judgment dismissing the succession rights defense and granting LL a final judgment of possession against Mr. Rodriguez. Judge Thermos finds two elements of succession defense met : (1) occupant is the son of tenant-of-record, and (2) he is a disabled person. The third element, whether he co-resided with TOR for one year before her vacatur, and TOR\u27s date of vacatur presents issues of fact to be determined at trial. Judge Thermos finds Mr. Rodriguez\u27 family and friends\u27 affidavits self-serving and not dispositive. The family is found to have credibility issues, requiring a trial. Landlord\u27s cross motion is denied
