Ind. Courts - Court of Appeals decision appealed to SCOTUS
SCOTUSblog reports today that among "the noteworthy petitions currently filed" was this appeal from the Indiana Court of Appeals:
Title: Jaskolski v. DanielsHere is the April 24, 2009 Indiana Court of Appeals opinion. The link SCOTUSblog provides to the Petition for Certiorari is not working at the moment, check back later at their entry.
Docket: 09-946
Issues: (1) Whether the court below erred in holding that one of the petitioners was an “independent contractor” rather than an “employee of the government,” such that the United States had no authority to supervise or control the manner in which he interrogated federal grand jury witnesses, reviewed grand jury materials, or managed documents or witnesses at a federal criminal trial; and (2) whether the same court erred by including in the definition of “employee of the government” the additional burden of proving that the federal government “pressed [the petitioner] into service” or “required” him to act?
