The First Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision denying cancellation of removal. The court upheld the agency's finding that the petitioner failed to prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his U.S. citizen daughters.
The Fourth Circuit reversed a district court dismissal based on equitable mootness in a simple Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. The appellate court affirmed the bankruptcy court's denial of the debtor's first plan due to a lack of good faith.
The Eleventh Circuit dismissed an appeal regarding a sentence reduction motion because the underlying issue became moot. The district court had already granted the government's motion to reduce the defendant's sentence after the appeal was filed.

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed one defendant's sentence while vacating and remanding another's in a consolidated appeal involving unemployment fraud. The court found sufficient evidence for a sophisticated-means enhancement against the leader of the scheme but not against her codefendant.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the conviction of a defendant charged with possessing a firearm as a felon. The defendant conceded that her Second Amendment challenge was foreclosed by existing circuit precedent.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed a district court order denying pretrial release to a defendant charged with assaulting a federal officer.
