  + stars: | 2022-10-23 | by ( C. Ryan Barber | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +16 min
The US Marshals Service has been responding to a remarkable rise in threats against federal judges. At least three times this year, the federal court in Washington, DC, received suspicious packages. Arriving just months apart, the packages sent to DC's federal courthouse served as reminders of threats judges are increasingly facing across the country. Lawmakers have blamed Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, for blocking legislation to help protect federal judges.

The captain of a California dive boat that caught fire in 2019, killing 34 people on board, was indicted Tuesday on a new count of negligence in the disaster. Jerry Nehl Boylan, 68, was indicted by a grand jury on one count of misconduct or neglect of ship officer, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles said. The NTSB also faulted the Coast Guard for not enforcing roving patrols and said the Coast Guard needs to verify that boat operators are conducting patrols as required. After the fire, Congress in 2020 required that the Coast Guard adopt NTSB regulations as part of a federal law that dealt in part with authorization of funding, according to the transportation agency. The Coast Guard announced new safety rules in January, The Associated Press reported at the time.
☆ DOJ asks appeals court to toss out a federal judge's ruling appointing a special master in the Mar-a-Lago records case

The DOJ asked a federal appeals court to reverse a ruling appoint a special master in the Mar-a-Lago case. Prosecutors said a lower court judge "erred in requiring the government to submit" to a special master review of seized records. "The court should now reverse the order in its entirety for multiple independent reasons," prosecutors said. Former President Donald Trump's legal team requested the appointment of a special master after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, his home and private club in West Palm Beach. But the DOJ quickly appealed the ruling and asked the 11th Circuit to issue a partial stay allowing the government to access roughly 100 classified records that had been seized from Mar-a-Lago — a request the appeals court granted.
☆ New York's gun law remains in effect as court gives more time for arguments

NEW YORK, Oct 12 (Reuters) - New York's new gun law will remain in effect for now after a federal appeals court on Wednesday agreed to temporarily reverse a lower court's order blocking the law's central provisions while a legal challenge by a gun-owners' rights group proceeds. The state's overhauled gun law took effect on Sept. 1 and is being closely watched by other states around a country in which gun violence has become recurrent. The appeals court's three-judge panel will later rule on whether to restore Suddaby's temporary restraining order. Suddaby, meanwhile, will hear arguments later this month on whether to grant a preliminary injunction that will again block central provisions of the new law while the litigation proceeds.

A former Navy engineer accused of trying to sell sensitive secrets about the Navy's nuclear-powered submarines to a foreign country by hiding them in a peanut butter sandwich changed his plea to guilty, federal court documents reveal. Jonathan Toebbe's wife, Diana Toebbe, also pleaded guilty after she was accused of helping him conduct surveillance to determine whether they were being followed. Jose Luis Magana / AP fileAt the time, the deal would have sent Jonathan Toebbe to prison for 12 years, while Diana Toebbe was to serve three years. The complaint described another instance where Jonathan Toebbe put the card in a chewing gum package. If the court doesn’t accept the latest plea agreement, Jonathan and Diana Toebbe would again have the right to withdraw their guilty pleas.
☆ Judge OKs NY weapons ban in Times Square and other 'sensitive' places — but calls the underlying law 'doomed'
  + stars: | 2022-09-01 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
A judge let New York ban guns in 'sensitive' locations, but called the underlying law legally 'doomed.' Gun lobbies are fighting the NY law, enacted after a June Supreme Court decision expanded gun rights. The law bans guns in "sensitive" places like Times Square, parks, theaters, and houses of worship, and re-tightens concealed carry permit restrictions that had been loosened by the Supreme Court in June. But in the Bruen case, the Supreme Court found any such limits on the right to "bear arms" unconstitutional. Both gun lobby groups promised to continue to fight the New York law.
