Happy Thanksgiving week. Here’s a little taste of what’s going on in the legal world in this shortened work week.

• This one’s a doozy: A Georgia woman has been arrested for administering illegal silicone injections into the hips and rear ends of strippers. The FDA began its probe into Kimberly Smedley’s work after a Baltimore stripper became ill following the injections.
• On the injection front, here’s another story of an arrest made after a “doctor” used a mix of super glue, cement, oil and tire sealant to enhance a woman’s backside.
• Defendants win their fourth victory in four months under the Fourth Amendment in the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. Now to find a four-leaf clover…
• Maryland and D.C. lag in reporting mental health records to gun-check databases.
• A Louisiana court has affirmed a ruling that citizens can make DUI arrests. (I’d love to see one of those arrests go down.)
• It could take 21 years to sell all of Maryland’s foreclosed homes.
• Add this to Wesley Snipes’ debts: American Express says he owes them $29,300. Snipes is serving a three-year sentence for tax evasion.
