Judge in New York orders 30-year-old man to leave home after parents take legal action to evict him

Judge in New York orders 30-year-old man to leave home after parents take legal action to evict himA judge in New York has ordered a 30-year-old man to leave his parents' house, after they took legal proceedings to evict their unemployed son. Christina and Mark Rotondo sent their son Michael five notices between February 2 and March 30, to try and get him out of their home, before eventually suing to force him to leave. On Tuesday Judge Donald Greenwood, presiding over the Onondaga County Supreme Court in Syracuse, upstate New York, ordered that Michael Rotondo leave the family home. "This is outrageous!" the 30-year-old yelled in court, after the verdict was handed down. The case was brought after a series of letters from his parents failed to convince Mr Rotondo to leave. The first note read: "Michael, after a discussion with your mother, we have decided that you must leave this house immediately. "You have 14 days to vacate. You will not be allowed to return. We will take whatever actions are necessary to enforce this decision." Mr Rotondo, who is unemployed, insisted that that was not enough notice. Eleven days later, a second letter threatened legal action if he did not leave the home in the upstate New York town of Camillus, 250 miles north of New York City. "Michael Joseph Rotondo, You are hereby evicted from 408 Weatheridge Drive, Camillus, New York effective immediately," the note read. "You have heretofore been our guest and there is no lease or agreement that gives you any right to stay here without our consent. "A legal enforcement procedure will be instituted immediately if you do not leave by 15 March 2018." Further notes followed, with one even offering Mr Rotondo $1,100 (£820) "so you can find a place to stay", and another suggesting a series of options to either fix or get rid of his broken Volkswagen Passat. Stay at home children "There are jobs available even for those with a poor work history like you," one of the notes reads. "Get one — you have to work!" But the 30-year-old, who has lived at his parents' for the past eight years, still refused to leave — prompting his mother to enquire at their local town court in April whether they could evict their son. They were told that because Michael is family, they would need a Supreme Court justice to officially send him packing, and so they filed an official eviction proceeding on May 7. Mr Rotondo, who is acting as his own lawyer, fought unsuccessfully to have his mother's suit thrown out of court, claiming his parents are legally required to give him six months' notice to leave. During the 30 minute hearing, the judge tried to convince Mr Rotondo to speak directly to his parents, while he waited. Mr Rotondo refused, saying he had made his legal arguments. The judge praised Mr Rotondo's legal research in finding a prior case that appeared to show that family members get six months before an eviction, but provided a copy of the appellate court decision that overrode the case that Mr Rotondo cited. The 30-year-old even tried to force an adjournment of the hearing, noting that the room for the hearing was incorrectly listed. He also claimed he had "never been expected to contribute to household expenses, or assisted with chores and the maintenance of the premises." "This is simply a component of his living agreement with the petitioners," he wrote in response to his mother's suit. He said in the court documents that he runs his own "successful" business, calling it "the overwhelmingly superior choice for the [his] economic well-being, over the working of a full-time job." When asked what the business was, outside court he replied: "My business is my business." After the court hearing he returned to his parents' house. It was unclear whether he was investigating further legal action.

China rebuffs U.S. concerns about ties with VenezuelaChina rebuffed U.S. concerns about its ties with Venezuela on Tuesday after Washington imposed new sanctions on the crisis-stricken oil-producing country following the re-election of its socialist President Nicolas Maduro. Maduro, the 55-year-old successor to late leftist leader Hugo Chavez, hailed his win in Sunday's election as a victory against "imperialism". In response to the vote, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order restricting Venezuela's ability to liquidate state assets and debt in the United States, the latest in a series of sanctions that seeks to choke off financing for the already cash-strapped government.

US moves to lift Obama-era curbs on killing hibernating bear cubs in Alaska

Posted: 21 May 2018 08:39 PM PDT

US moves to lift Obama-era curbs on killing hibernating bear cubs in AlaskaThe Trump administration is moving to reverse Obama-era rules barring hunters on some public lands in Alaska from baiting brown bears with bacon and doughnuts and using spotlights to shoot mother black bears and cubs hibernating in their dens. The National Park Service issued a notice Monday of its intent to amend regulations for sport hunting and trapping in national preserves to bring the federal rules in line with Alaska state law. Under the proposed changes, hunters would also be allowed to hunt black bears with dogs, kill wolves and pups in their dens, and use motor boats to shoot swimming caribou. These and other hunting methods - condemned as cruel by wildlife protection advocates - were outlawed on federal lands in 2015. Members of the public have 60 days to provide comment on the proposed new rules. "The conservation of wildlife and habitat for future generations is a goal we share with Alaska," said Bert Frost, the park service's regional director. A brown bear catches a salmon at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska Credit: AP "This proposed rule will reconsider NPS efforts in Alaska for improved alignment of hunting regulations on national preserves with State of Alaska regulations, and to enhance consistency with harvest regulations on surrounding non-federal lands and waters." Alaska has 10 national preserves covering nearly 37,000 square miles (95,830 square kilometres). The Alaska Department of Fish and Game was "pleased to see the National Park Service working to better align federal regulations with State of Alaska hunting and trapping regulations," Maria Gladziszewski, the state agency's deputy director of the Division of Wildlife Conservation, said in an email to The Associated Press. If @Interior has its way, it will be perfectly legal for Alaska sport hunters to lure bears with greased donut bait piles to kill them. Or to crawl into bear dens to kill hibernating females and their cubs. #UnBearablehttps://t.co/Kd2vnm9K8P— National Parks Conservation Association (@NPCA) May 22, 2018 She said the proposal is "progress in that direction, and we appreciate those efforts. Alaskans benefit when state and federal regulations are consistent." Expanding hunting rights on federal lands has been a priority for Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, a former Montana congressman who displays a stuffed bear in his Washington office along with mounted heads from a bison and an elk.

The Associated Press reported in March that Mr Zinke had appointed a board loaded with trophy hunters to advise him on conserving threatened and endangered wildlife, including members of the Safari Club. President Donald Trump's sons are also avid trophy hunters who have made past excursions to Africa and Alaska. BREAKING: The @realDonaldTrump administration has proposed new regulations that roll back protections preventing extreme methods of killing predators & other #wildlife in #Alaska national preserves. pic.twitter.com/lPV9qjK9zk— Defenders of Wildlife (@Defenders) May 21, 2018 Collette Adkins, a lawyer and biologist with the advocacy group Centre for Biological Diversity, expressed outrage at the rollback. "Cruel and harmful hunting methods like killing bear cubs and their mothers near dens have no place on our national preserves," she said. When bears attack | What to do if you are attacked by a bear The Humane Society of the United States said it would oppose the new rules. "These federal lands are havens for wildlife and the National Park Service is mandated to manage these ecosystems in a manner that promotes conservation," said Anna Frostic, a lawyer for the animal rights group. "This proposed rule, which would allow inhumane killing of our native carnivores in a misguided attempt to increase trophy hunting opportunities, is unlawful and must not be finalised."
