A 12-year-old boy was hospitalized after struck by a car while riding an e-bike in Anaheim Sunday night, Nov. 23, and police were searching for several people who ran from the car, authorities said. Anaheim police were called to East North Street and North Topeka Street about 8:45 p.m., Sgt. Matt Sutter said. The boy suffered a broken leg and bruises, Sutter said. Police believe the driver ran a stop sign and continued driving for about a block after the crash, eventually ditching the car, Sutter said. Investigators were searching for the driver and an unknown number of passengers, Sutter said. The crash occurred in a residential area just south of La Palma Avenue, with stop signs only for drivers on Topeka Street. A Honda sedan with front-end damage and a smashed windshield ended up against a parked car.

For me a quick weeknight meal often relies on a stir-fry dish, a rice cooker steaming with long-grained white rice, and a simple dessert of fresh tangerines. If you want a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and substitute 2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil. Stir-Fried Celery with Peanuts and Bacon Yield: 4 servings INGREDIENTS 2 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips 1/2 cup salted roasted peanuts; see cook’s notes 1/2 large bunch celery or 2 celery hearts, about 1/2 pound, crosswise on a long diagonal into 1/4-inch-wide pieces (reserve some small celery with leaves to use as garnish) 1/4 head of green cabbage, cored, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices Kosher salt 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar Asian-style chili oil; see cook’s notes Optional for serving: Cooked rice Cook’s notes: I use Belmont Bloody Mary Cocktail-Spiced Peanuts in this recipe; they provide a just-right amount of spiciness to suit my taste. I buy them at Total Wine; they are also available online at belmontpeanuts.com. Regular salted peanuts are certainly acceptable. If you don’t have Asian-style chili oil, you can substitute your favorite hot sauce. DIRECTIONS 1. Place bacon in a large deep skillet, then place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon renders most of its fat and starts to curl up and turn golden brown, but is no where near crisp, about 5 minutes. Add peanuts, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until peanuts take on some color, about 2 minutes. 3. Add celery and cabbage, season lightly with salt and cook, toss frequently, just until celery is browned in some spots but still crunchy — and the cabbage is tender but still has some bite to it, about 4 minutes. Add soy and vinegar; toss. 4. If using, place a layer of rice on a platter. Top with the celery stir-fry. Drizzle with a judicious amount of chili oil (or pass chili oil at the table and have diners drizzle on the hot stuff to suit their taste). Garnish with reserved small celery stalks.

By ERIC TUCKER, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Monday dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, concluding that the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Donald Trump’s urging was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. The rulings from U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie halt at least for now a pair of prosecutions that had hastened concerns that the Justice Department was being weaponized to pursue the president’s political adversaries and amount to a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration’s legal maneuvering to install a loyal, and inexperienced, prosecutor willing to file the cases.

Mike DeWine signed a law legalizing sports betting. He now says he’s opposed to it The orders make Lindsey Halligan the latest Trump administration prosecutor to be disqualified because of the manner in which they were appointed. Both defendants had asked for the cases to be dismissed with prejudice, meaning that the Justice Department would not be able to bring them again. But the judge instead dismissed them without prejudice, though it was not immediately clear if or how the Justice Department might attempt to revive the prosecutions. The challenge to Halligan’s appointment was one piece of a multiprong assault on the indictments by both Comey and James, who had each sought to have their cases dismissed on grounds that the prosecutions were vindictive. Comey’s lawyers had also seized on irregularities in the grand jury process in seeking to get the prosecution thrown out. Each of those requests remains pending. Monday’s order deals exclusively with the mechanism the Trump administration employed to appoint Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, to lead one of the Justice Department’s most elite and important offices. Halligan was named to the job in September after a different interim U.S. attorney, Erik Siebert, was effectively forced out amid pressure from the Trump administration to file charges against Comey and James. After Siebert resigned, Comey’s lawyers argued, the judges of the federal court district should have had exclusive say over who got to fill the vacancy. Instead, Trump nominated Halligan while publicly imploring Bondi in a social media post to take action against his political opponents, saying in a Truth Social post that “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!” Comey was indicted days later on charges of making a false statement and obstructing Congress, and James was charged soon after that in a mortgage fraud investigation. In a statement, James said, “I am heartened by today’s victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country.” “I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day,” the New York attorney general, a Democrat, said. Judges have separately disqualified interim U.S. attorneys in New Jersey, Los Angeles and Nevada, but have permitted cases brought under their watch to move forward. But lawyers for Comey and James had argued that Currie’s ruling needed to go even further because Halligan was the sole signer of the indictments and the driving force behind them. Comey has for years been one of Trump’s chief antagonists. Appointed to the job in 2013 by President Barack Obama, Comey, at the time of Trump’s 2016 election, was overseeing an investigation into whether his presidential campaign had conspired with Russia to sway the outcome of the race. Furious over that investigation, Trump fired Comey in May 2017 and the two officials…
