The Eleventh Circuit dismissed an appeal because the district court's order did not constitute a final decision under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The court held that the order denying summary judgment was interlocutory and did not qualify for the collateral order doctrine.
The Tenth Circuit dismissed Marlon DeWayne Martin's appeal of his child sex trafficking sentence because he signed a plea agreement containing an enforceable waiver of appellate rights. The court found the waiver covered the specific claim raised and that enforcing it would not result in a miscarriage of justice.

The court ruled that these procedural omissions constituted a failure to prosecute the case in accordance with Federal Circuit Rules.

The court found Stevens failed to make a substantial showing that the district court's decision involved debatable constitutional claims, a requirement necessary to obtain a certificate of appealability.

The court rejected Gallman's challenges to the sentencing conditions and the district court's reasoning, finding the record supported the imposed sentence.
The Sixth Circuit reversed the denial of qualified immunity for high-level prison officials, holding that their reliance on incompetent medical contractors did not constitute a clearly established Eighth Amendment violation. While the court affirmed that the officials were not the proximate cause of the injuries under state law, it remanded the case to allow the plaintiffs to pursue their state-law negligence claims.
