Before joining Holland & Hart in 1983, Marcy clerked for United States

District Court Judge Rlchard P. Matsch.
CLIENT RESULTS
p Representative Federal Matters
In a lawsuit that made two trips to the Tenth Circuit, that court ultimately
Marcy's practice focuses ordered reinstatement of the jury's $177 million nuisance verdict, plus
on appellate Ittlgation, over $1 billion in prejudgment interest, in favor of our clients, owners of
motions practice, and property damaged from plutonium that migrated from Rocky Fiats, a
federal nuclear weapons plant. While the parties' cross-petitions for
issues analysis at the trial certiorari were pending in the Supreme Court, the case settled for $375
level. million.
Recognized as a leading Resolving a question of first impression, the Ninth Circuit adopted our
appellate lawyer in
Colorado and the Tenth argument that 12 U.S.C. S 1821 part of the Financial Institutions

States, including in the
After granting our petitions for permissive appeal from separate Oklahoma
and Kansas orders that certified statewide classes in natural gas royalty
actions, the Tenth Circuit issued its first decisions to apply Wal-Mart v. Dukes
and Comcast v. Behrend, and reversed both certifications.
The Federal Circuit affirmed a $24 million judgment for our client, the
inventor of an electric blender jar. rejecting the defendant's multiple
challenges to the Jury's finding of wiflful infringement.
The Tenth Circuit affirmed the Judgment in favor of our client, a federal
receiver in a securities fraud matter, holding that the claimant was property
denied any recovery from the receivership estate.
 HOLLAND&HART

In a pro bono civil rights case, the Tenth Circuit twice reversed the entot of
judgment against our client, holding that the district court's rulings on
absolute and qualified immunity were wrong as a matter of law.
Rejecting the plaintiffs' claimed multi-billion dollar interest In the Kasaghan
oil field in the Caspian Sea, developed in part by our oil company client, the
Tenth Circuit afirmed the enw of summary judgment for our client on
statute of limitations grounds.
The Tenth Circuit reversed the entry of Judgment for the claimant In an
ERISA case, holding that the district court improperiy considered evidence
outside the record of our client, the plan administrator. The Supreme Court
denied the claimant's petition for certiorari review.
In another ERISA appeal, the Tenth Circuit again reversed the entry of
summary judgment for the claimant and remanded to allow our client, the
plan administrator, to reconsider the claim and make additional fact
findings.
The Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of all claims in a
natural gas royalty class action against our energy company clients. The
court also reversed the district court's order certifying a statewide class of
plaintiffs.
The Ninth Circuit held that the EPA did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in
allowing the State of Nevada to redesignate one of its clean air areas into
two areas under the Clean Air Act, a ruling that allowed our mining
company client to operate under less restrictive national air quality
standards.
Accepting our construction of damages provisions in the federal Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act, the Ninth Circuit affirmed a jury verdict in favor of our
client.
The Fifth Circuit bucked the tide of routine rejection of claims under the
National Environmental Policy Act, and held inadequate the Air Forces
and FAA's environmental impact statement for the Realistic Bomber
Training Initiative in West Texas.
For our client, the plan administrator, we persuaded the Tenth Circuit to
narrow the circumstances when district courts may admit evidence beyond
that considered by the plan administrator in appeals from denials of benefits
under ERISA.
The Tenth Circuit held that ERISA preempts claims for bad faith breach of an
insurance contract under Wyoming law.
The Ninth Circuit rejected the EPA's jurisdictional arguments and permitted
our client's appeal of EPA enforcement orders to proceed to a decision on
the merits.
Representative State Matters
 HOLLAND&HART

In consolidated appea}s arising out of a complex commercial dispute, the

Nevada Supreme Court rejected our adversary's fraudulent inducement
argument, and affirmed the district court's order enforcing a prior
settlement agreement in our client's favor, the entry of summary
Judgment in our client's favor in a separate lawsuit, and our client's
recovery of attorneys' fees.
In a decision that clarified the distinction between contractual covenants
and conditions, the Utah Supreme Court held that our client was entitled to
recover actual and liquidated damages based on a seller's failure to perform
under a commercial real estate contract.
The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals reversed the district court's
certification of a statewide class of royalty interest owners.
The Colorado Court of Appeals reversed the district court's adoption
placement and remanded for proceedings to determine whether the
toddler child should be placed with our pro bono clients, the foster
parents. The Colorado Court of Appeals upheld a multi-million dollar class
settlement in an oil and gas underpaid royalties case, rejecting an unhappy
class members challenge.
A pro bono appeal for our adult adoptee client led to a Colorado Court of
Appeals decision giving alt persons adopted in Colorado between 1951
and 1967 full access to all court records and other papers related to their
adoptions.
tn a decision that has significantly limited oil and gas royalty owners' rights,
the Colorado Supreme Court reversed the lower appellate court and held
that the putative class's claim for allegedly underpaid natural gas royalty
accrued on the date of the alleged breach of contract, not on the date of
discovery of the alleged breach.
The Colorado Supreme Court held that taxpayers may deduct
postwellhead production costs in valuing oil and gas leaseholds
for state property tax assessments.
The Wyoming Supreme Court accepted in full the position of our clients, a
group of industrial electric power consumers, and affirmed a Public Sewice
Commission decision that rejected a utility's requested rate increase of over
$91 million.
The Colorado Supreme Court exercised its original jurisdiction to reverse
the trial court's order requiring our client to produce sensitive medical
records.
The Colorado Supreme Court accepted in full our arguments that the state
Title Board properly fixed a title for our client's initiative to amend the
Colorado Constitution.
 HOLLAND&HART

Reinstating the jury verdict in our developer client's favor, the Colorado
Supreme Court exercised its original jurisdiction to reverse the trial

issues pertaining to criminal justice, justice refom, sentencing, juvenile justice, and the
administration of the criminal justice system. I believe that my experiences in both the
public and private sectors, as well as "non legal" experiences like mentoring students at
East High School in Denver, provide me with perspectives and insights that will benefit the
Commission. In addition, as a fourth-generation Coloradan, I'm committed to ensuring
that Colorado leads the nation in addressing issues that come before the Commission. I'd
be honored to serve.

I was contacted by Romaine Pacheco. I understand that the Board of Ethics was created by
Executive Order and convenes from time to time. Currently there is an issue requiring the
Board to convene. I have been involved in legal ethics issues for over 30 years. I currently
represent lawyers and other professionals regarding ethical complaints that have been filed
against them. I provide risk management and ethics advice to lawyers, law firms and in-
house counsel. For I I years, I prosecuted complaints against lawyersl law licenses. I believe I
have a balanced perspective having been on both sides of legal ethics issues. Serving on this
Board would be an honor and a privilege.
