Judge voids Cryts contempt judgment after raid on soybeans
U.S. District Judge G Thomas Eisele in Little Rock voided a $279,000 contempt verdict against Wayne Cryts for seizing 31,000 bushels of soybeans from a bankrupt grain elevator. He left open the possibility of reimposing penalties, citing the act as wrongful but unauthorized. Cryts, a Missouri farmer, refused to identify accomplices or dumping of the beans. Baker, the bankruptcy judge, had held Cryts in contempt and imposed costs and a $1,500 daily fine, both vacated.

Government contests Martin registration claim in trial bid
The U.S. government disputes that Russell Martin was registered with Selective Service and argues that a former attorney’s letter claiming constructive registration was not valid. It says Martin repudiated Reynolds' assertion and seeks to block dismissal motions while noting potential inaccuracies in the information about the University of Iowa student body president. The brief expects a one day trial, and cites grounds including selective prosecution and the comment period failings of the presidential proclamation.
