The Rosen Law Firm Announces Securities Class Action
Press Release | 2011/05/18 09:53
The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. today announced that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased the common stock of GMX Resources, Inc. (NYSE: GMXR) pursuant or traceable to the company’s stock offerings on July 17, 2008, May 13, 2009 and October 22, 2009. The lawsuit seeks to recover investors’ damages from violations of the federal securities laws.

To join the GMX Resources class action, visit the Rosen Law Firm’s website at http://www.rosenlegal.com, or call Laurence Rosen, Esq. or Phillip Kim, Esq., toll-free, at 866-767-3653; you may also email lrosen@rosenlegal.com or pkim@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

The Complaint alleges that GMX Resources violated the securities laws by issuing false financial statements to investors in the stock offerings on July 17, 2008, May 13, 2009 and October 22, 2009. On March 11, 2010, the company disclosed that its full year 2008 and quarterly 2009 financial statements were inaccurate and must be restated. The company also warned that investors could no longer rely on its financial statements. GMX subsequently restated its financial statements to correct for the method used to record full cost pool impairment charges and related deferred income taxes. As a result of the restatement, the company’s net loss for fiscal year 2008 was $124.6 million as compared to the originally reported $81.7 million.

GMX Resources share price has declined substantially since the stock offerings and investors in the stock offerings have suffered significant damages.

If you wish to join the litigation, or to discuss your rights or interests regarding this class action, please contact Laurence Rosen, Esq. or Phillip Kim, Esq. of The Rosen Law Firm, toll-free, at 866-767-3653, or via e-mail at lrosen@rosenlegal.com or pkim@rosenlegal.com.

Ala. chief justice warns more court layoffs coming
Topics in Legal News | 2011/05/18 09:52
Alabama Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb warned the state's judges and circuit clerks Monday to expect substantial layoffs because of the budget crisis in the state judicial system.

Cobb met with judges and clerks mostly by conference call Monday. The meeting was not open to news reporters or the public. She said 270 court employees have already lost jobs in the past two years because of budget cuts, and she expects another 265 court workers to be laid off during the coming fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.

Cobb told The Associated Press that she had hoped to receive a $10 million supplemental appropriation from the Legislature to help the courts get through the remainder of the current year. She said that is unlikely now because the money is needed to help with recovery from last month's violent tornadoes that killed more than 200 in Alabama.

She said she doesn't expect to receive the supplemental appropriation and she also believes a bill to raise the state's cigarette tax by $1 a carton is dead for this session. Some proceeds from the cigarette tax were to go to the courts.


Court lets Minn. corporate disclosure law stand
Headline Legal News | 2011/05/17 08:33
A federal appeals court has affirmed a judge's decision to let stand Minnesota's law requiring the disclosure of corporate political donations, saying the state's rules are similar to laws upheld by the Supreme Court and the groups who want them blocked are unlikely to prevail.

In an opinion filed Monday, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed with claims that Minnesota's disclosure requirements effectively prohibit corporate independent expenditures and impose burdensome regulations that ban free speech.

"The burden on corporations appears light, and the reporting requirement greatly facilitates the government's informational interest in monitoring corporate independent expenditures," the appeals court found. The judges wrote that rather than banning contributions, the law provides a way to disclose certain information.

Minnesota law requires that in election years, businesses and independent groups must submit five reports and disclose large donations within 24 hours for the three weeks leading up to the primary and the last two weeks before the general election. In off years, one report is required. The registration requirement is triggered when businesses or independent funds spend more than $100. Penalties for violations can be up to $25,000.

One member of the three-judge panel disagreed with the majority in part, saying the state's reporting requirements chill political speech.

Minn. court: Defendant may withdraw guilty plea
Court Watch | 2011/05/17 03:34
The Minnesota Court of Appeals says defendants may withdraw a guilty plea if they are not told a conviction could result in deportation.

The court on Monday sided with Rene Reyes Campos. Campos said if he knew he risked being deported for a conviction for simple robbery for the benefit of a gang, he never would have pleaded guilty.

Campos was 17 when he was charged in Hennepin County in 2009, and had been a lawful U.S. resident for about seven years. He agreed to plead guilty as an adult and get a stayed sentence. He was not told the plea could affect his immigration status. Last June, Campos moved to withdraw his plea.
