Adoption

Assault
Arson
Radu v. Herndon & Herndon Investigations, Inc., 302 Mich. App. 363: Plaintiff was denied insurance coverage after an investigation, by Defendant Herndon & Herndon Investigations, declared his car caught fire because of arson. Plaintiff brought claims against the insurance company and Herndon, but settled with the insurance company. A Motion for Summary Disposition was successfully obtained on behalf of Defendant Herndon in the Oakland County Circuit Court, for two reasons, 1) The Court decided Herndon was an agent within the meaning of the release language in the settlement with the insurance company; and 2) Herndon had statutory immunity under MCL 29.4(6) because their fire investigation report was without fraud and was filed without malice.

Foreclosure
New Jerusalem Deliverance Church v. Rabette, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42901: Plaintiff claimed that a foreclosure and sale of its property after a default on its loan was a deprivation of its rights. A Motion for Summary Judgment in favor of Defendants, including the Oakland County Sheriff, was successfully obtained in the US District Court, Eastern District, Southern Division because the court held that the action by the special deputy was not a state action and therefore there was no claim to be made under 42 USCS 1983.
