OPINIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT

FILED THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2010

NOTICE - MEDIA RELEASE TIME IS 10:00 A.M.   

  

 A09-717         Ronald L. Schober, Relator, vs. Commissioner of Revenue, 
                      Respondent.
                      Tax Court.
            1.   The tax court correctly concluded that the Commissioner of Revenue properly assessed relator for sales tax collected but not remitted to the Department of Revenue.
            2.   The tax court correctly concluded that there was no violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution or Article X of the Minnesota Constitution in assessing relator for collected but unremitted sales tax.
            3.   Relator waived his right to challenge in this appeal the Commissioner's use tax assessment.
            Affirmed.  Chief Justice Eric J. Magnuson.



A08-2273        State of Minnesota, Respondent, vs. Rashad Arthur Raleigh, 
                      Appellant.
                      Hennepin County.
            Appellant failed to show his guilty plea to first-degree premeditated murder was invalid; thus, appellant is not entitled to withdraw his plea to correct a "manifest injustice" under Minn. R. Crim. P. 15.05, subd. 1.
            The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea to first-degree premeditated murder because appellant failed to advance substantiated reasons why withdrawal was "fair and just" under Minn. R. Crim. P. 15.05, subd. 2.
            Affirmed.  Justice Helen M. Meyer.



A07-1820        Jonathon Goodman, Respondent, vs. Best Buy, Inc., Appellant.
                      Court of Appeals.
            The tolling provision in 28 U.S.C. § 1367(d) (2006) suspends the running of a limitations period on a state-law claim during the time that the claim is pending in federal court and for 30 days after dismissal.
            Affirmed and remanded.  Justice G. Barry Anderson.
            Took no part, Justice Alan C. Page and Lorie S. Gildea.
