Book Description
Pursuant to K.S.A. 61-2311, a sheriff upon receipt of a writ of restitution issued in a forcible detainer action shall restore the landlord to possession of the premises. No statutes authorize the sheriff to take possession of any personal property which remains on the premises, and he or she should only do so at the direction of the court in the writ of restitution or a subsequent order. Failure to obtain such judicial authorization could subject the sheriff to an action for conversion, and would further leave him or her with no legal means of recovering the costs of removal and storage. Cited herein: K.S.A. 58-2565; 61-2309; 61-2311.

Book Description
The decision of the United States Supreme Court in R̲o̲e̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲W̲a̲d̲e̲, 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705, 35 L. Ed. 2d 147 (1973), permits a state to regulate or even prohibit abortion after the stage of viability, except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, to preserve the life or health of the mother. Such regulations must be narrowly tailored to fit the precise state interest at stake. As a result, attempts to specify a particular time during a pregnancy when viability occurs or to interfere with the judgment of the attending physician have been struck down as unconstitutional, although general prohibitions on post-viability abortions have been upheld. Cited herein: U.S. Const., Fourteenth Amend.

As a result of the decision in G̲a̲r̲c̲i̲a̲ ̲v̲̲.̲ ̲S̲a̲n̲ ̲A̲n̲̲t̲o̲n̲i̲o̲ ̲M̲e̲t̲r̲o̲p̲o̲l̲i̲t̲a̲n̲ ̲T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲i̲t̲ ̲A̲u̲t̲h̲o̲r̲i̲t̲y̲, the Dickinson County sheriff's department is subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Department employees who meet the qualifications of 29 C.F.R. section 553.4 are entitled to the exemption from overtime in 29 U.S.C.A. section 207(k) if the employer so elects. As the department has more than four employees who are law enforcement officers, it is therefore not eligible for the exemption in 29 U.S.C.A. section 213(b)(20). Law enforcement employees who are subject to section 7(k) may work a maximum of 171 hours in a 28 day pay period. Following April 15, 1985, overtime is required to be paid to such employees for any hours over this amount. Cited herein: 29 U.S.C.A. sections 201, 203, 206, 207, 213, 216, 217; K.S.A. 19-803, 44-1203, 44-1204; 29 C.F.R. sections 516, 531, 541, 553, 778, 785; U.S. Supreme Court Rule 51, 52.
