NJ Law

  • STATE OF NEW JERSEY v. KEITH HINES
    PER CURIAM In these consolidated matters, defendants Mark Hines and his brother, Keith Hines,1 appeal from an order dated August 6, 2010, denying their motions to suppress evidence. After the order was entered, Mark pled guilty to first-degree maintaining or operating a facility for manufacturing marijuana, N.J.S.A. 2C:35-4 (count one), and second-degree conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, N.J.S.A. 2C:5-2, N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5(a)(1), and N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5(b)(10)(b) (count six). The court sentenced Mark to a ten-year prison term with five years of parole ineligibility on count one, and it imposed a concurrent five-year term on count six. Keith pled guilty to third-degree conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, N.J.S.A. 2C:5-2 and N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5(b)(11), and was sentenced to a one-year period of probation, subject to a 270-day jail term. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
  • STATE OF NEW JERSEY v. D.D.
    PER CURIAM Tried by a jury, defendant, D.D., was convicted of two counts of first-and one count of second-degree sexual assault on three boys all under the age of twelve, N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(a)(1) and N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(b). He was also convicted of three counts of child endangerment, N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4(a). After appropriate mergers, defendant was sentenced to an aggregate term of forty years, with an eighty-five percent period of parole ineligibility subject to the No Early Release Act (NERA), N.J.S.A. 2C:43-7.2. Defendant appeals, and for the following reasons, we affirm.
  • CTC DEMOLITION COMPANY INC v. GMH AETC MANAGEMENT/DEVELOPMENT LLC
    FISHER, J.A.D. In this appeal, we consider how the first-filed rule of comity -- by which "the court which first acquires jurisdiction has precedence" over another court later acquiring jurisdiction absent "special equities," Yancoskie v. Del. River Port Auth., 78 N.J. 321, 324 (1978) -- applies when a party demands mediation or arbitration, as contractually obligated, and the adverse party brings a declaratory judgment suit in another state regarding the applicability of mediation or arbitration. We conclude that the demand for mediation in this case should be viewed as the first-filed action and, alternatively, that special equities preclude deferral to a court that later acquired jurisdiction over the dispute.
