1. State v. Josh Lee Hedrick, No. 35536 - Petitioner Josh Lee Hedrick appeals from the Grant County Circuit Court's Order which upheld his conviction for Interfering with a Lawful Fisherman in violation of West Virginia Code §20-2-2(A). Petitioner was originally convicted of the misdemeanor offense in Magistrate Court.

2. Thomas and Alice Loudin v. National Liability & Fire Insurance, No. 35763 - Plaintiffs appeal the circuit court's order granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant insurance company and the company's agents and employees. The court found that the plaintiffs have no legal basis to pursue common law bad faith, Unfair Trade Practices Act, and contractual claims because they are third party claimants. Although plaintiffs had purchased the policy at issue on their own vehicle, they pursued their claim against an additional insured tortfeasor under the policy's liability coverage. The court also found no evidentiary support for plaintiffs' claim of the tort of outrage.

3. Linda Barr v. NCB Management Services and HSBC Bank Nevada, N.A., No. 35709 - The United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Martinsburg, entered an order certifying the following question to this Court:
