Case NewsPolice violated 4th amendment rights with GPS tracking of vehicle without search warrant. The United States Supreme Court ruled January 23, 2012 that the installation of a GPS tracking device on a vehicle parked in a public lot is a form of a search that requires a search warrant. Jones v. U.S., Civ. No. 10-1259 (Jan. 23, 2012) The Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed dismissal of the plaintiffs’ case, in Dickhoff v. Green, No. A11-402, 2012 Minn. App. LEXIS 3 (January 3, 2012), determining that a medical-malpractice claim based on a physician’s failure to diagnose cancer is not barred as a mere “loss of chance” (or reduced-chance) claim when the misdiagnosis resulted in a delay in treatment that makes it more likely than not that the patient will not survive the cancer. In Strandberg v. Country Mutual Insurance Co., the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota granted a defendant’s motion to dismiss a claim for bad faith settlement due to Plaintiff’s failure to follow the procedural requirements of Minn. Stat. Sec. 604.18 (specifically for Plaintiff’s failure to seek leave of the Court prior to bringing a bad faith claim). The Court also dismissed Plaintiff’s underlying hail damage and vandalism claims noting that under recently enacted Minn. Stat. Sec. 65A.01, a minimum two-year period of limitations begins at the inception of the loss and Plaintiff’s losses occurred more than two and a half years before the lawsuit was filed. |
