The Ninth Circuit remanded the asylum and withholding of removal claims of a petitioner who alleged persecution by Punjab police due to his political affiliation with the Shiromani Akali Dal Simranjit Mann party, finding the agency's relocation analysis inadequate.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the denial of steel exclusion requests by the Department of Commerce. The court held that the agency acted within its authority by using the date of the exclusion request, rather than the earlier order date, to assess domestic supply availability.
The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of a civil complaint but modified the order to reflect a dismissal without prejudice. The court held that a lack of subject matter jurisdiction requires dismissal without prejudice rather than with prejudice.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed a district court ruling granting qualified immunity to police officers involved in a suicide intervention. The court held that the law was not clearly established at the time of the incident, preventing the plaintiff from proving that the officers violated his constitutional rights.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of a motion for reconsideration filed by a litigant with a history of repetitive, barred lawsuits regarding a foreclosed property.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a dismissal of a patent infringement complaint against a major bank. The court held that the plaintiff was barred from asserting the patent claim due to issue preclusion and failed to plausibly allege infringement.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the sentence of a defendant convicted of drug-distribution conspiracy. The court found no reversible error in the district court's drug-quantity findings, role-in-the-offense enhancement, or denial of an acceptance-of-responsibility adjustment.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order denying asylum. The court found that the petitioners failed to properly raise their claimed particular social group and that the harm they suffered was motivated by financial reasons rather than a protected ground.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit granted a writ of mandamus to restore a jury trial right for a pharmacy benefit manager. The court held that the public nuisance remedy sought by local governments included legal damages rather than purely equitable relief. The Seventh Amendment therefore entitles the defendant to a jury trial.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed a petition for review of an immigration order. The court found that the petitioner forfeited his arguments by failing to challenge dispositive findings regarding asylum and Convention Against Torture claims.
