The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted a motion to remand a Merit Systems Protection Board case for reconsideration. The court determined that allowing the agency to reconsider its previous position would preserve party and judicial resources.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed the conviction of Ricardo Davalos Martinez for drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy. The court found sufficient evidence that Martinez knowingly participated in a prison-led narcotics organization.
The Ninth Circuit granted a petition for review of an immigration order where the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed an Immigration Judge's decision to pretermit asylum applications. The court held that the Immigration Judge abused its discretion by failing to provide adequate notice regarding biometrics obligations.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of an adverse credibility determination by the Board of Immigration Appeals. The court held that substantial evidence supported the agency's finding that the petitioner was not credible.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part a district court preliminary injunction regarding federal research grant terminations. The court held that plaintiffs had standing but lacked jurisdiction for claims based on form-letter terminations, while finding a likely First Amendment violation for terminations based on diversity viewpoints.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed an appeal challenging the denial of a temporary restraining order. The panel held that the denial did not meet the jurisdictional requirements for interlocutory review.
The Ninth Circuit reversed a district court dismissal of Fourth Amendment claims, holding that prior state court orders did not constitute final judgments under Arizona law. The court further determined that the police officers lacked qualified immunity because the arrests were based on an objectively unreasonable dispersal order.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court dismissal of a lawsuit challenging Michigan's constitutional amendment on reproductive freedom. The court held that the plaintiffs failed to establish Article III standing because they did not allege specific enforcement actions by the defendants that caused their alleged injuries.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit dismissed an appeal filed by Rickey Warren. The court found that the issues raised were moot because the underlying writ of garnishment had been quashed and Warren had already been released from custody.
The Fourth Circuit dismissed in part and affirmed in part the appeal of a defendant who pled guilty to drug conspiracy charges. The court enforced the defendant's appellate waiver and found no meritorious grounds for appeal outside its scope.
