Answer 1

• According to Presidential nominations 136-113, given under the head Presidential nominations, the subject of this nomination was Ms. Mary Jo White for the Securities and Exchange Commission.
• As per the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a company must be covered by more than 4 employees.
• a) Latent defect

A latent defect is a defect, that is not discoverable/ identifiable by reasonable observation or inspection.

b) According to Rule 4, Appeal as of right, in a civil case, a party must file the notice of appeal within 60 days of entry of judgement or order, if such party is any one of the following,

• The United States
• The United States Agency
• United States officer or employee sued in an official capacity
• A current or former employee or officer sued in an official capacity.

Therefore in the civil case where the judgement was entered on May 1, 2013, the U.S Government should file a notice of appeal within 60 days, that is, within June 30, 2013.
