LEGAL MATERIALS

HOT DOCS

INTERNET LAW - Kirby v. Spark Networks USA LLC

COMPLAINT - A putative class action has been filed against Spark Networks USA LLC alleging violation of California Business and Professions Code in sending high volume unsolicited spam marketing e-mails misrepresenting the sender. (Super. Ct., Los Angeles County)

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW - D.M. v. Dep't of Justice

CIVIL PRACTICE - S.E.C. v. Small Bus. Capital Corp.

ORDER - Defendant in SEC action requested court release receivership assets to pay for his personal defense. Frozen assets belonged to defrauded investors, not defendant. (N.D. Cal.)
