The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed and affirmed in part a Patent Trial and Appeal Board decision regarding railroad collision-avoidance patents. The court held that certain claims were obvious but reversed the finding that other claims were not unpatentable due to a claim construction error.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed a dismissal order regarding two plaintiffs who entered sensitive payment information on retail websites. The court held that the surreptitious recording of complete credit card numbers by session replay code constitutes a concrete injury analogous to the common-law tort of intrusion upon seclusion.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed a summary judgment ruling in a premises-liability case where a plaintiff slipped on oil in a parking lot. The court held that the plaintiff's self-contradictory testimony failed to create a genuine dispute of material fact regarding whether the store had notice of the hazard.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed a condition of supervised release requiring substance abuse testing. The court found no plain error in the district court's imposition of the condition despite the defendant's lack of documented substance abuse.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of Board of Immigration Appeals decisions regarding asylum and protection claims. The court found the agency's determinations supported by substantial evidence and the motion to reopen properly denied.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed in part and dismissed in part a Veterans Court decision dismissing a veteran's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The court held that res judicata principles do not bar a tribunal from reconsidering its own interlocutory rulings within the same proceeding.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit denied a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by Antonio Davis. The court found the petition moot because the district court had recently entered an order denying Davis's underlying motion.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed district court judgments granting habeas corpus petitions filed by noncitizens detained in the interior of the United States. The court held that the mandatory detention scheme under Section twelve hundred twenty-five, subsection B, paragraph two, subparagraph A does not apply to noncitizens who did not affirmatively seek admission.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court dismissal of an Administrative Procedure Act claim alleging unreasonable delay in an asylum application. The panel held that the plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts to demonstrate the delay was unreasonable.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied petitions for review of Board of Immigration Appeals decisions regarding asylum, withholding of removal, Convention Against Torture protection, and a motion to reopen.
