The Eleventh Circuit dismissed a petition for review because the petitioner failed to produce a final order of removal. The court held that judicial review is limited to final orders of removal, and an order dismissing proceedings is not such an order.
The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision rejecting asylum claims based on adverse credibility findings. The court upheld the agency's determination that the petitioner provided a biologically impossible timeline regarding her miscarriage, divorce, and her daughter's birth.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Stephen Daniel Leonard's conviction for felon in possession of a firearm, rejecting all arguments regarding his self-representation and the necessity defense. The court also granted Leonard's counsel's motion to withdraw, citing incompatibility and compliance with withdrawal rules.
The Eleventh Circuit denied Henkels & McCoy's petition for review, upholding the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission's finding that the company violated the Occupational Safety and Health Act's general duty clause. The court ruled that the Commission's decision was supported by substantial evidence and was not arbitrary or capricious.
The Tenth Circuit denied a petition for review challenging the Board of Immigration Appeals' dismissal of a motion to reopen removal proceedings. The court held that the motion was untimely and that it lacked jurisdiction to review the BIA's refusal to exercise sua sponte authority.
The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision rejecting asylum and related relief for an El Salvadorian family targeted by gang extortion. The court held that the harm was motivated by economic interest rather than a protected ground, failing the statutory nexus requirement for asylum.
The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review seeking asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture relief for three Mexican nationals. The court found that the petitioners waived key arguments regarding government protection and failed to meet the high legal threshold required to prove a likelihood of future torture.
The Third Circuit held that a Special Education Hearing Officer's order to develop an Individualized Education Program does not constitute an agreement to a new educational placement under the IDEA's stay-put provision. Because no prior IEP was in place, there was no existing placement to maintain, and the student is not entitled to remain in a specific setting pending further proceedings.
The Third Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision rejecting a Convention Against Torture claim. The court upheld the lower tribunal's finding that the petitioner failed to prove it was more likely than not that he would be tortured by Laotian officials upon removal.
The Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Paul Cononie's second amended complaint without leave to amend. The court held that Cononie failed to state a plausible claim for relief and did not follow the district court's specific directives to cure pleading deficiencies.
