The Federal Circuit affirmed that a government agency's override of an automatic statutory stay in a federal procurement dispute was arbitrary and capricious. The court held that a bid protestor need not satisfy the traditional four-factor equitable test to obtain relief, preserving the mandatory stay mechanism under the Competition in Contracting Act.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed a district court's award of attorney's fees and costs to a defendant after the plaintiff lost a copyright infringement suit. The appellate court found no abuse of discretion in the lower court's decision to impose the financial penalty.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed in part and affirmed in part a district court ruling in a patent infringement dispute. The appellate court held that a pretrial stipulation established a United States nexus for infringement and that prosecution history did not disclaim a claim limitation.
The Seventh Circuit denied a petition for review challenging the denial of cancellation of removal for a stateless individual. The court found the Board of Immigration Appeals correctly determined that the petitioner failed to prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his United States citizen relatives.
The Fifth Circuit affirmed the denial of a preliminary injunction, holding that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine stripped the federal court of jurisdiction. The court ruled that the plaintiff's claims were an impermissible attempt to overturn a state child-support judgment rather than a challenge to ongoing constitutional violations.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed a district court's decision to revoke supervised release and impose a 24-month prison sentence. The court held that the defendant failed to prove plain error regarding delays caused by pending state charges or that the sentence was unreasonable.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court's judgment in a contract dispute involving multiple parties. The court issued a per curiam order without providing a written opinion explaining the reasoning.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the Board of Immigration Appeals denial of a motion to reopen removal proceedings. The court held that the petitioner failed to demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his United States citizen relatives.
The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment against Babu K. Thomas, holding that he failed to provide sufficient evidence to support his claims of employment discrimination and retaliation. The court ruled that Thomas's termination was based on unexcused absences and a failure to provide medical documentation, rather than his protected status or activities.
The Third Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of a preliminary injunction, holding that Janssen failed to demonstrate irreparable harm because monetary damages remain calculable despite market complexities. The court clarified that loss of market share in a breach of contract case does not automatically constitute irreparable injury absent proof that damages are practically impossible to quantify.
