Inmate wins right to computer files; not computer
By Associated Press
Published: 11/27/2006

ATLANTA, GA - It's a good news, bad news ruling for Brandon Sample.

Sample lives in a Georgia federal lockup, where he's doing 14 years for a money-laundering conspiracy. And for the last three years, he's been battling the Bureau of Prisons to get computer disks with information about his jail.

Today, Sample can claim victory. An appeals court in the nation's capital agrees that he's entitled to the computer files.

But in the same ruling, the judges say there's nothing in the law requiring prison officials to give him a computer to access the files.

The court says once he gets the disks, the government's obligation is complete. If he reads them, and how he does that, isn't up to the court.

    Our truck accident lawyers have seen many causes of these accidents. They can often include an improper lane change, incorrect stopping distance, defective equipment, an inexperienced driver, an unqualified driver and road defects. Our team of trucking accident attorneys will investigate your accident with the help of experts to determine the most likely cause of your 18 wheeler accident. While you wait for the conclusion of your truck accident claim, your Waco 18 wheeler accident lawyer can work around the clock to address issues such as medical bills, calls from creditors, communications from insurance companies, and legal fees. Semi truck owners are required to carry more extensive insurance coverage, the trucks are subject to a strictly controlled maintenance schedule, and drivers are required to track and limit their time on the road. But many trucking companies pressure their drivers to drive without sleep to get to their destination. This creates fatigue for the truck driver.
