United States v. Guice

The Fifth Circuit dismissed Marcus Guice's appeal after enforcing his plea agreement's appeal waiver. The court found the waiver was knowing, voluntary, and applicable to his challenge regarding a sentencing enhancement.

USA v. Cannarozzi

The Ninth Circuit affirmed a restitution order requiring a drug seller to compensate the estate of a purchaser who died from drug consumption. The court held that a buyer who consumes drugs for personal use is a valid victim under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act and not a participant in the offense.

OCHOA ORDONEZ V. BLANCHE

The Ninth Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision rejecting a time-barred motion to reopen removal proceedings. The court upheld the BIA's finding that the petitioner failed to demonstrate material changes in Guatemala's country conditions sufficient to trigger the statutory exception.

Close Armstrong, LLC v. Trunkline Gas Company, LLC

The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit denied a petition for rehearing in a dispute over the scope of a gas pipeline easement. The court issued a correction order clarifying the procedural history and the scope of the easement litigation.

Nevins v. DCH Health Systems

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment against Debra Nevins on her Title VII and Section 1981 claims. The court held that Nevins failed to present a convincing mosaic of circumstantial evidence proving that her race was a motivating factor in her termination or that she was subjected to actionable retaliation or harassment.

United States v. Moore

The Fifth Circuit affirmed George Dennis Moore's conviction for possessing a firearm as a felon, rejecting his constitutional challenges as foreclosed by controlling precedent. The court held that while the statute is constitutional on its face, Moore's status as a probationer at the time of the offense precludes an as-applied challenge.

Kang v. Nationstar Mortgage, LLC

The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's summary judgment in favor of mortgage lenders, ruling that appellants failed to prove the existence of an enforceable contract. The court held that the plaintiffs' claims lacked the written evidence required under Washington's statute of frauds and contract principles.

Fountain v. Diaz

The Eleventh Circuit dismissed the Fountains' appeal sua sponte because their notice of appeal was filed five days after the deadline expired. The court held that while Rule 60(b) motions toll the appeal period, the Fountains missed the thirty-day window that ended on January 16, 2026.

United States v. Dirks

The Fifth Circuit granted the Federal Public Defender's motion to withdraw from representing Jason Anthony Dirks after finding no nonfrivolous issues for appeal. The court dismissed the appeal, leaving the district court's judgment in effect.
