Administrative – Military Health Services – Physician – Provider Status – Retroactive Revocation – Tort/Negligence – Defamation – Civil Practice – Discovery (access required)

Taylor v. United States The plaintiff-physician alleges that, when he applied to be a provider for the military health program, TRICARE, in 2004, he revealed the 1993 revocation of his New York medical license, and he was granted provider status. Where the government let stand the 2011 retroactive revocation of the physician’s provider status – based on the 1993 revocation of his New York medical license – the physician has stated a claim against the government under the Administrative Procedures Act, and he has an argument for estoppel.

Most Important Opinions

Tort/Negligence – STCA – Schools & School Boards – Bus/Van Collision – Right of Way – Bus Driver’s Lookout (access required)

Bartlett v. Wayne County Board of Education Plaintiffs contend that the majority of eyewitnesses in this case testified that the responding officer’s diagram depicting the accident scene was accurate, that the diagram demonstrates plaintiffs’ “van had to have been almost directly in front of the bus at the time [the bus driver] started her turn,” and that this evidence conclusively established that the bus driver failed to yield the right-of-way to plaintiffs’ van.

Taxation – State Income — U.S. Treasury Bonds – Market Discount Income – First Impression — Interest (access required)

Fidelity Bank v. North Carolina Department of Revenue Even though the N.C. Revenue Act uses the Internal Revenue Code to determine state net income, and even though the Code treats “market discount income” on U.S. Treasury bonds as interest for purposes of the Code, under the N.C. Revenue Act market discount income on U.S. Treasury bonds is treated as income rather than interest.

Contract – Forum Selection Clause – Arbitration – Labor & Employment (access required)

Apex Tool Group, LLC v. Ingersoll-Rand Co. Neither plaintiff nor the individual defendants are Texas residents; nevertheless, each of the individual defendants’ employment agreements includes an unambiguous and mandatory forum selection clause, which says any lawsuit involving the agreement must be brought in Harris County, Texas. The employment agreements were entered into by plaintiff’s predecessor and the individual defendants, who apparently did not live in Texas when they entered into the contracts and thus apparently anticipated interstate travel in the event of a trial.
