Court turns down FTC in Rambus case
Court Alerts
The Supreme Court has sided with Rambus Inc., a developer of computer memory technology, in its long-standing antitrust fight with the Federal Trade Commission.
The justices, in an order Monday, are refusing to hear FTC's plea to reinstate the commission's ruling that Rambus, based in Los Altos, Calif., violated antitrust law.
A federal appeals court in Washington overturned the FTC ruling last year.
The Bush administration had declined to back the FTC in its appeal to the high court.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
