In 1984 when Yandle was still in law school she was diagnosed with a brain aneurism that needed emergency attention. Her prognosis warned her that she might lose her sight, ability to talk and that she needed to leave law school. However, she left the hospital 10 days later to return to Vanderbilt in January.

United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois - United States of America v. Iyman Faris Case 17-CV-295-SMY-DGW)

In the United States v. Iyman Faris Judge Yandle denied a motion seeking to take away citizenship from Iyman Faris on July 11, 2018. Faris became a naturalized citizen in 1999. He was prisoned after pleading guilty to his involvement to a 2003 terrorism plot to cut the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge. He was sentenced to 20 years. The argument to take away his citizenship was argued that he willfully misrepresented himself to earn citizenship. Yandle rejected the argument on the basis that there is no evidence on the record to support this. Yandle's order was not the end of the suit but the case is still expected to proceed in the trial processes.
