MOHAMED M. MUTHANA v. MARKWAYNE MULLIN Secretary of Homeland Security, et al

The Seventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Mohamed Muthana's due process and administrative claims because his own immigration petition proved he listed the address where the government sent notice. By failing to meaningfully contest this dispositive evidence in the lower court or on appeal, Muthana waived his right to challenge the denial of his request to reopen immigration proceedings.

BRUCE ADAMS, d/b/a Southwest Safaris v. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION; NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

The Tenth Circuit denied a petition to overturn a federal ban on commercial air tours over Bandelier National Monument, ruling that the Agencies' plan was consistent with the National Parks Air Tour Management Act. The court held that the statutory standard for significant adverse impacts under the Air Tour Act differs from the environmental standard under NEPA, allowing the ban to stand despite a finding of no significant environmental impact.
