Labour MP Kelvin Davis is concerned offenders with electronic bracelets who live outside cellphone coverage areas will be sent to prison. The Department of Corrections says, if an offender proposes an address where there is no cell phone coverage, it will be deemed as unsuitable. Jail could be on the cards for this offender awaiting court sentence because they reside in an area where there's no cellphone coverage. Home Detention with electronic monitoring applies to offenders with a prison sentence of two years or less. Corrections says if there's no address for offenders to stay at in an area where there's cellphone coverage, it's highly likely they'll be sent to prison. MP Tai Tokerau Kelvin Davis says, "We will see more Māori going to jail due to these types of laws. I think it needs to be reversed to accommodate for those who only have landlines." Read More. |

Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above-named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior.

The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.
