handle is hein.ali/resndacy0125 and id is 1 raw text is: AGENCY 2D Generally E.D.La.2014. Cit. generally in case cit. in ftn. In criminal proceedings against defendants who pled guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute heroin, this court denied in part the government's motion to vacate defendants' plea agreements, holding, among other things, that representations by counsel for defendants-to the effect that defendants intended to breach the plea agreements by refusing to cooperate-could not be imputed to defendants under common-law agency principles. In making its decision, the court noted that the Fifth Circuit had recognized the Restatement Second of Agency as an accurate reflection of the common law of agency. U.S. v. Guyton, 37 F.Supp.3d 840, 854. D.V.I.2014. Cit. generally in ftn. In workers' defamation action against refinery, this court granted summary judgment to refinery, holding that it was not vicariously liable for its employees' allegedly defamatory statements about workers. In making its decision, the court noted that Virgin Islands courts had continued to rely on the Restatement Second of Agency, even after the promulgation of the Restatement Third of Agency, that the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands had held that Virgin Islands courts were not bound by changes to the Restatements; and, in any event, the court's conclusions reached in reliance on the Restatement Second did not differ from those it would have reached if it had relied on the Restatement Third. Illaraza v. HOVENSA LLC, 73 F.Supp.3d 588, 607. CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTORY MATTERS TOPIC 1. DEFINITIONS § 1. Agency; Principal; Agent C.A.11, 2014. Cit. in case quot. in sup. (general cite). Daughter of an elderly cruise-ship passenger who fell and hit his head while the ship was in port and died of his injuries about a week later sued cruise line, seeking to hold it vicariously liable for the purported negligence of the ship's doctor and nurse who treated passenger after his fall. The district court granted defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiff's actual-agency claim under the Barbetta rule, which immunized a shipowner from respondeat superior liability whenever a ship's employees rendered negligent medical care to its passengers. Reversing and remanding, this court declined to adopt the Barbetta rule and concluded that plaintiff's allegations established a plausible agency relationship between defendant and its employees. The court noted that the Eleventh Circuit and other jurisdictions generally applied agency principles as set forth in Restatement Second of Agency § 1 to impute liability in maritime tort cases. Franza v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., 772 F.3d 1225, 1235. I4LILA I For earlier citations, see the Appendices, Supplements, or Pocket Parts, if any, that correspond to the subject matter under examination.
