BLACK FARMERS vs. USDA : CLASS ACTION UPDATE by BLACK FARMER ATTORNEY CHARLES JEROME WARE [Maryland & D.C.]

www.charlesjeromeware.com      " Here to make a Difference."

Decades after the original filing of their class action discrimination lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and years after execution of the Consolidated Case Settlement Agreement , African-American farmers continue to get  lesser treatment from the federal court, the USDA, class counsel, as well as the settlement process --- as this tragic, long-running  discrimination saga draws to a close.  For example ;

The undistributed leftover settlement funds allegedly amounted to approximately $12 million, according to federal judge-appointed class counsel. This same class counsel announced that these leftover funds would be placed in a so-called "Cy Pres Fund" [Charity Fund] and " will be made available to eligible tax-exempt nonprofit organizations serving African-American farmers and/or ranchers according to the intent of the Consolidated Case Settlement Agreement."

The bottom-line is that these so-called "leftover settlement funds" will not be going to the already-underpaid victims in this class action litigation : the Black Farmers.

Patent infringement claims and cases result when an alleged patent owner
files against someone who is alleged to be using the product or process without permission, and the owner must use defenses to fight the claim or case.

Defenses in a patent infringement case may include:

   - Invalidating the patent;
   - Claiming non-infringement;
   - Citing prior use, first sale or repair doctrines, inequitable conduct,
      patent misuse, or limitation on rights;
   - Laches, formerly an important defense, may soon no longer be valid.

Maryland ---- and particularly Baltimore City --- is popularly known by many commentators as being "ground zero" for lead paint poisoning claims against residential landlords and property owners.  In fact, some judges, commentators and officials have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible". We respectfully disagree. Preparation, maintenance and tenant notice are the three keys to successful residential landlord defense against lead poisoning claims.

Maryland and Federal Laws about lead paint are designed to reduce childhood lead poisoning while maintaining affordable rental housing. These laws provide rights and duties for renters and property owners in pre-1078 built residential rental properties/units (aka, "affected properties").

The houses and apartments that are covered by Maryland's lead paint laws are only the ones that were pre-1978 built and regulated by the Maryland Reduction of Lead Risk in Housing Act. Owner-occupied properties/units are nor regulated.

Affected properties/units that are Maryland Department of the Environment ("MDE")- certified lead-free or limited lead-free are exempt from Maryland's lead paint laws.. Affected properties/units owned or operated by Federal, State, or local governments, or by a public, quasi-public, or municipal corporation are also exempt, provided the affected properties are subject to standards at least as strict as the standards established in Maryland lead paint law [Maryland Code Ann., Environment, Sections 6-801,6-803 and 6-806].
