Michael Skupin appeared Tuesday in Oak- land County court in Pontiac. He asked for mercy from the judge and said he’s “deeply sorry.” But Skupin denied downloading the photos on his laptop. In a separate case, he was placed on proba- tion and ordered to pay $31,800 to victims of a financial scheme. During that investigation, authorities found child porn on Skupin’s lap- top. He was convicted in November. Skupin will be eligible for parole after a year. The longest he can be kept in prison is four years. In 2001, Skupin had to be evacuated from the “Survivor II: The Australian Outback” after falling into a campfire, but he returned for “Survivor: Philippines” in 2012. Man gets 30 days in jail for election forgery GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (AP) — A man who tried to get a judicial candidate on a west- ern Michigan ballot in 2012 with forged signa- tures has been sentenced to 30 days in jail. An Ottawa County judge also sentenced Brandon Michael Hall to 18 months of proba- tion Tuesday. The Grand Haven Tribune reports Hall was convicted in November on 10 counts of elec- tion law forgery for forging signatures on petitions seeking to add then-judicial candi- date Chris Houghtaling to the ballot. Before his sentencing the 27-year-old Grand Haven man called his actions “the most ignorant thing I’ve ever done.” Hall was charged in 2013 with 10 felony forgery counts. He appealed to the Michigan Court of Appeals, which ruled that misde- meanor charges seemed appropriate. The Michigan Supreme Court later deter- mined the case qualified as a felony. Donations can help foster kids with college LANSING (AP) — The state of Michigan is accepting contributions to a college fund for students who were in foster care. The money helps students with tuition, lodging, books and other supplies. Robin Lott of the Michigan Education Trust says many students are out of foster care after high school and can’t afford college. Donations to the Fostering Futures Schol- arship Trust Fund are tax-deductible, although they must be postmarked or made online by Saturday to qualify for 2016. More than $590,000 has been raised since 2012 through donations, ticket sales, auctions and other volunteer-based fundraising events. ———————— Online: www.fosteringfutures-mi.com.

Chief justice wants to reform state’s jury duty system LANSING (AP) — The outgoing chief jus- tice of Michigan’s Supreme Court is pushing to move the state’s jury duty system to one that eases wait times. Michigan’s jury process is “extraordinarily stupid,” as people often get called for jury duty only to sit around in a courthouse before being sent home, Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. told the Detroit Free Press. Young said jury duty is an important obligation for U.S. citi- zens and that the court shouldn’t burden them by wasting their time. “This is all about our efforts to become more service-focused,” he added. Under Young’s proposal, prospective jurors would have appointments with the court and could be notified on their smartphones about when they are and are not needed. He cited management of the juror-selection process as an example of how technology can help make the courts more efficient and user- friendly, while in many cases, saving a signifi- cant amount of money. The challenge of the project would be funding, since Michigan courts are individual- ly funded through 165 local funding units, said Young. Young’s term as the court’s chief justice is set to end in early January, although he’ll remain on the seven-member bench. More I nsIde Calendar .....................................3 daily Crossword .........................3 disciplinary Actions .....Back Page Legal notices ..............................4 Mortgages recorded ..................2 YOUNG The American Bar Association Stand- ing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility has issued Formal Opinion 476 that addresses confidentiality issues that arise when a lawyer moves to with- draw from a civil case because of a client’s failure to pay legal fees. The opinion recommends a process for the lawyer and the trial judge to follow when the lawyer seeks to withdraw from civil liti- gation because of fee issues and how much, if any, confidential client information the lawyer should disclose in filing a motion to withdraw. The opinion notes that sticky situations can arise, and that “this requires cooperation between lawyers and judges.” In a lawyer’s request to with- draw as counsel in a civil proceed- ing based on a client’s failure to pay, at least two ABA Model Rules of Profes- sional Conduct come into play. A lawyer has a duty of confidentiality under Rule 1.6. That rule must be reconciled with the court’s need for sufficient information upon which to rule on motions made con- sistent with Rule 1.16, which deals with declining or terminating representation. Under the guidance in Formal Opinion 476, a lawyer who has a good faith basis for withdrawal under subsections of Rule 1.16 should first submit a motion provid- ing no confidential client information apart from a reference to “professional considerations” or the like. “Upon being informed by the court that further infor- mation is necessary, respond, when practi- cable, by seeking to persuade the court to rule on the motion without requiring the disclosure of confidential client informa- tion, asserting all non-frivolous claims of confidentiality and privilege,” Formal Opinion 476 said in its guidance to attor- neys. If that approach fails, the opinion sug- gests that the lawyer “submit only such information as is reasonably necessary to satisfy the needs of the court and preferably by whatever restricted means of submission, such as in camera review under seal, or such other procedures designated to minimize disclosure as the court determines is appropriate.” The ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility periodically issues ethics opinions to advise lawyers, courts and the public in interpret- ing and applying ABA model ethics rules to specific issues of legal practice, client-lawyer relationships and judicial behavior. Formal Opinion 476 and previous ABA ethics opinions are available on the ABA Center for Professional Responsibility website, www.americanbar.org/groups/pro- fessional_responsibility.html. The Oakland County Board of Commis- sioners honored the service of departing Commissioners Robert Gosselin and John A. Scott on Thursday, Dec. 8, during the Board’s last meeting of the year. The meet- ing was held in the Oakland County Board of Commissioners’ Auditorium in Pontiac. Gosselin and Scott will be leaving the Board at the end of the current term on December 31st. Commissioner Robert Gosselin was elected to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners in November 2006 and began serving his two-year term in January 2007. He is a Republican representing por- tions of the cities of Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, and Troy located in District #11. Gosselin currently serves as the Board of Commissioners’ Planning & Building Committee’s vice chairperson, as a mem- ber of the General Government Committee and serves as the chairperson of the Oak- land County Coordinating Zoning Com- mittee. During his 10-years of service, as an Oakland County commissioner, Gosselin worked with his colleagues to build on Oak- land County’s long record of fiscal responsi- bility. He has been a strong advocate for reducing the cost of government, maintain- ing Oakland County’s excellent AAA- Bond Rating and supporting long- term balanced budgets. Gosselin worked successfully with Oak- land County Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard to create the Operation Medicine Cabinet effort in Oakland County. In 2014, Gosselin led a bipartisan study group of the Board of Commissioners tasked with gathering information about the Detroit Water and Sewer Department’s finances. The study group looked at the effect of a regional authority on water and sewer rates and obtained feedback from county residents as a result of a series special town hall meet- ings hosted by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. Gosselin worked closely with the county administration and regional leaders to advocate for transparency and fairness for rate payers during the creation of the Great Lakes Water Authority. Before joining the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, he served as a Troy City Council member from 1993 to 1997 and was a member of the Michigan State House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002 and 2005 to 2006. While in the House, he chaired the Labor Relations Training and Safety Committee. During his legislative career, Gosselin sponsored legislation that secured $2 million for the Rails-to- Trails–Clinton River Trail, led a successful effort to block state funded jet aircraft for state elected officials and advocated for leg- islation that would end sales tax on gasoline purchases over $1.20 per gallon. Commissioner John A. Scott began serv- ing his two-year term on the Oakland Coun- ty Board of Commissioners in January 2003, following his election in November 2002. He is a Republican who represents the City of Keego Harbor, the City of Orchard Lake Village, the City of Sylvan Lake, and por- tions of Waterford Township, and West Bloomfield Township located in District #5. Scott currently serves as the Personnel Appeal Board chairperson and as a member of the Board of Commissioners’ Planning & Building Committee, Public Services Com- mittee, Coordinating Zoning Committee and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Scott served in many other leadership capacities during his tenure on the Board, including: as a member of the General Government and Finance Committees. He was chairman of the Human Resources Committee, chairper- son of the Airport Committee, and chairper- son of the Sanitary Code Appeal Board. As chairperson of the Southeast Michi- gan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) from 2012-2013, Scott was a leading voice for local governments in the region. Scott has been a strong voice for fiscal responsibility and transparency during his service. He led efforts on the Board of Com- missioners to object to the use of taxpayers funds for excessive compensation increases and bonuses for executives at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Scott was one of two veterans currently serving on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. He honorably served his nation as a United States Navy Cryptotech Petty Officer during the Vietnam War from 1970 to 1971. The Michigan State Police (MSP) is chang- ing the criteria for issuing an AMBER Alert in Michigan, the emergency response system that disseminates information about a missing child. Effective, Jan. 1, 2017, AMBER Alerts will only be issued for cases of child abductions, involving victims under the age of 18, but all AMBER Alerts will receive a Wireless Emer- gency Alert (WEA). A vehicle license plate number is no longer required for a WEA. Previously, in addition to abducted chil- dren, AMBER Alerts were authorized for missing children with severe mental or physi- cal disabilities who wandered away and were unable to care for themselves. “Any time a child goes missing, it’s an urgent situation and we should all pay atten- tion; however, in the case of child abductions the urgency is even greater,” said Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP. “By tight- ening the standards for issuing an AMBER Alert we will ensure these alerts are utilized in only the most dire of circumstances to get credible, useful information out to the public in order to bring abducted children home safe- ly.” Missing child cases that don’t meet the revised AMBER Alert criteria will be eligible for a new notification called an Endangered Missing Advisory, for which there is no age restriction. The Endangered Missing Advisory is a notice sent to broadcast and print media in the geographic area of the incident, but unlike an AMBER Alert, this advisory does not uti- lize the Emergency Alert System to interrupt broadcasting and it will not be sent to mobile devices as a WEA. Michigan’s AMBER Alert is a partnership among the MSP, Michigan Association of Broadcasters, Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police, Michigan Sheriff’s Association and Michigan Department of Transportation. AMBER Alerts have helped police safely recover 262 missing Michigan children. To learn more, visit www.michigan.gov/AmberAlert.
