The Fourth Circuit affirmed a dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction where former employees attempted to enforce a prior judgment against a party they had voluntarily dismissed in the original lawsuit. The court held that neither the WARN Act nor ERISA provides an independent basis for federal jurisdiction to impose liability on a new party for an existing judgment.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed consolidated appeals filed by a Maryland inmate. The court ruled that the appeals were untimely because the notice of appeal was not filed within the required thirty-day window.

The Eleventh Circuit reversed the dismissal of tortious interference claims, holding that federal common law does not govern the interpretation of forum-selection clauses in contracts governed by foreign law. The court ruled that the scope of such clauses must be determined under the substantive law of the contract, which in this case was Slovenian law.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the denial of a motion to suppress evidence found in a backpack seized during an arrest in a public parking lot. The court held that the inventory search exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement authorized the officers' actions under the circumstances.
