Rosenstengel
CHICAGO – U.S. Seventh Circuit appellate judges approved two decisions of Chief District Judge Nancy Rosenstengel on June 24, one on the court’s civil side and one on the criminal side.
They affirmed her order for Country Mutual Insurance to pay about $250,000 for defense costs it should have provided, and they affirmed her sentence of 20 years on Fernando Alvarez-Carvajal for his part in a drug racket.
Circuit Judge Joel Flaum delivered both opinions, with different colleagues.
Country Mutual’s case resulted from a crash that injured a truck driver, his partner, and a passenger in an ambulance.
Theodore Berg of Hamel Fire Protection District drove the ambulance for Alhambra-Hamel ambulance service.
