The D.C. Circuit vacated the District Court's injunction and remanded the case for further proceedings. The court also dismissed the amended emergency motion for stay pending appeal as moot.
JOSUE ROMAN SANCHEZ v. ATTORNEY GENERAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Third Circuit dismissed in part and denied in part Josue Roman Sanchez's petition for review of BIA decisions regarding asylum and removal relief. The court held that Sanchez waived his asylum-related claims by failing to exhaust them and lacked a meritorious legal issue regarding the denial of his cancellation of removal application.
STEPHEN MCCARTHY, P.A v. UNITED STATES DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION
The Third Circuit denied a physician assistant's petition to overturn the DEA's revocation of his registration for issuing controlled substances without proper supervision. The court held that the petitioner failed to prove that any alleged constitutional flaws in the Administrative Law Judge's removal protections caused his injury and found the revocation decision was neither arbitrary nor capricious.
Uzamere v. Trump
The D.C. Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of a complaint filed against the President, ruling that the pleading failed to provide fair notice of the claims under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a). The court further held that the district court properly declined to grant leave to amend sua sponte because the appellant identified no viable amendments that would entitle her to relief.
HECTOR MANUEL CERVANTES- TORRES v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
The Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of a writ of error coram nobis for a petitioner convicted of possessing a firearm as an alien unlawfully present. The court held that the failure to give a Rehaif instruction was not fundamental error because the evidence of the petitioner's knowledge of his status was overwhelming.
Mooney v. Roller Bearing Co. of America, Inc.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court's decision to apply a fluctuating federal interest rate to a mixed federal and state law judgment. The court held that when a verdict does not distinguish between state and federal claims, the district court retains discretion to select the rate that most accurately compensates the plaintiff for lost wages.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ROBERT PETER RUSSELL
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's denial of Robert Peter Russell's motion for a new trial. The appellate court found no reversible error in the record to justify granting a new trial under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33.

The Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of qualified immunity for police officers involved in a high-speed chase where a fleeing suspect crashed into innocent bystanders. The court held that plaintiffs plausibly alleged a Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process violation by claiming the officers chased with a purpose to harm the suspect in a manner exceeding legitimate law enforcement needs, and that this right was clearly established.
