2. Public Notices 9/28/2026 (thebusinessjournal.com) — Today's public notices include several Fresno County juvenile court hearings, probate filings, and civil summonses, plus trustee sale details that may affect local property owners.

3. Student Assumed Risk of School-Hours Basketball Injuries (metnews.com) — A recent appellate decision involving Clovis Unified School District found that a 12-year-old student injured during a school-hours basketball PE class assumed the inherent risks of the sport. The court held that because he voluntarily enrolled in a basketball-only PE class, the district and teacher remained protected by the primary assumption-of-risk doctrine, potentially shaping how future sports-focused classes operate in Clovis schools.
   

4. Clovis man used Las Vegas casinos to launder money from fraud, DOJ says (yourcentralvalley.com) — A 45-year-old man formerly from Clovis has been sentenced in Fresno federal court for helping run a real estate fraud and money-laundering scheme that targeted Central Valley homebuyers.
