The unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court in Federal Bureau of Investigation v. Fikre, decided March 19, 2024. Listen to What SCOTUS Wrote Us wherever you get podcasts.
Rulemaking Notice-and-Comment Rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) A process that requires agencies to publish proposed rules, allowing the public to comment before final rules are enacted, ensuring transparency and public participation. Exemptions and Exceptions to Notice-and-Comment Requirements Certain situations, such as emergencies or matters of minor significance, may exempt agencies from the full notice-and-comment process. Final Rule Issuance and Publication After considering public comments, agencies finalize and publish rules in the Federal Register, making them official and enforceable. Legislative vs. Interpretative Rules and Policy Statements Legislative Rules: Have the force of law and affect individual rights and obligations. Interpretative Rules: Clarify or interpret existing statutes or regulations without the force of law. Policy Statements: Indicate how an agency intends to exercise its discretionary powers. Adjudication Formal vs. Informal Adjudication Formal Adjudication: Involves a trial-like hearing with an administrative law judge. Informal Adjudication: Less formal processes without a hearing, often based on written submissions. Due Process Requirements in Agency Adjudications Agencies must follow due process, providing fair notice and an opportunity to be heard, ensuring decisions are made impartially and based on evidence. Hearings, Evidence, and Decision-Making Hearings allow for the presentation of evidence and arguments. Agencies must base their decisions on the evidence presented, adhering to legal standards. Appeals and Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions Decisions can be appealed within the agency and may be subject to judicial review, where courts examine the agency's compliance with the law and due process. Judicial Review of Agency Actions Standards of Review: Chevron Deference, Skidmore Deference, Arbitrary and Capricious Standard Chevron Deference: Courts defer to an agency's interpretation of ambiguous statutes it administers. Skidmore Deference: Courts give weight to an agency's interpretation based on its persuasiveness and expertise. Arbitrary and Capricious Standard: Courts review whether an agency's action was based on a consideration of relevant factors without clear error in judgment. Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies Individuals must typically go through all available administrative remedies before seeking judicial review. Standing, Ripeness, and Mootness in Challenges to Agency Actions Standing: The right of an individual to bring a lawsuit based on their stake in the outcome. Ripeness: Whether a dispute has developed sufficiently to be ready for judicial review. Mootness: Whether there is still an actual controversy to resolve, affecting the court's ability to provide relief. Administrative Procedures Act (APA) Overview and Significance of the APA The APA is a key statute that governs how federal administrative agencies may propose and establish regulations, ensuring transparency, fairness, and public participation. Procedural Requirements under the APA for Rulemaking and Adjudication The APA sets out detailed processes for rulemaking and adjudication, including notice-and-comment procedures and requirements for formal hearings. Judicial Review Provisions in the APA The APA provides standards and procedures for courts to review agency actions, ensuring they comply with the law and respect individual rights. Open Government and Accountability Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) FOIA allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States government, promoting transparency. Government in the Sunshine Act This act requires that meetings of certain federal agencies be open to the public, further ensuring transparency and accountability.

In a surprising turn, a motion for "Mootness" was upheld in Canadian court recently that got the government off the hook for their implementation of some of the world's most discriminatory travel restrictions during the pandemic. In a baffling failure in logic, the judge who upheld this motion to dismiss said if the government brought them back in the future, the people should just challenge them in court... ----- Subscribe to the Social Disorder Substack to get all the links, extras and info for the podcast like the one you just listened to: https://thesocialdisorder.substack.com/ This episode is made possible by: BioPro+: https://bioproteintech.com/product/biopro-plus Take Back Alberta - TBA - : https://t.me/takebackalberta and The Canadian Story podcast: https://www.thecanadianstory.com/
What happens when the court fails to make required findings? Probably not, because the California Supreme Court says you still have to demonstrate prejudice. But in this episode of the California Appellate Law Podcast, Jeff Lewis and Tim Kowal talk about how, in certain kinds of cases, the prejudice analysis may give a very light touch, and so your chances of reversal are much higher.Some recent cases suggest the courts may be pointing in different directions in appeals involving missing findings.Jeff and Tim also cover some other recent cases that you may want to have in your toolkit:Failing to request a statement of decision changed the outcome of the appeal in Marriage of Burger.Missing findings in a domestic-violence custody case led to reversal in Hutchins v. Hutchins, even though the omission really was not prejudicial.Untimely Appeals May Be Excused If There Was a Mishap with E-Filing, held Garg v. Garg.A Dismissed Appeal Is Not “On the Merits” If the Dismissal Was for Mootness, held Parkford Owners for a Better Community v.

Positive Developments in Lawsuit Backing RI Oral Surgeon The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) has dismissed a Compliance Order that shut down Dr. Stephen Skoly's practice last October for not complying with Rhode Island's vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. NCLA's lawsuit on behalf of Dr. Skoly pressured the state to allow him to get back to serving his patients. Dr. Skoly, one of Rhode Island's few oral and maxillofacial surgeons—whose services are critical to the community—has natural immunity to Covid-19 and also has unique medical circumstances that put his health at risk if he were to get the Covid-19 vaccine. In refusing to recognize Dr. Skoly's naturally acquired immunity to Covid-19 and denying his request for a medical exemption from the vaccine mandate, RIDOH had harmed hundreds of Rhode Island patients, including its most vulnerable (residents of the state's psychiatric hospital and prison), who, in Dr. Skoly's absence, have suffered due to the absence of necessary surgeries. John discusses the latest positive developments in the case. Third Circuit's Mootness Problem in Johnson v. Murphy NCLA's lawsuit on behalf of New Jersey landlords challenging Governor Murphy's Executive Order No. 128 was dismissed as moot by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which reasoned that the order had expired and was unlikely to be repeated. Mark talks about the mootness problem and Third Circuit's decision in Johnson v. Murphy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Merrick Garland Rescinds the “Brand Memo” on Guidance Recently, Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum and interim final rule, which effectively rescinded the “Brand Memorandum.” In January 2018, then-Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand issued the memo, in which she instructed the Department of Justice (DOJ) that it was prohibited from using agency “guidance” documents to prosecute defendants for civil violations, including under the False Claims Act. Attorney General Garland directed DOJ attorneys not to rely on sub-regulatory agency guidance to bring False Claims Act cases and other enforcement actions. The Mootness Doctrine in Government Litigation Vec discusses the mootness doctrine in government litigation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court gives us something to write home about this week, as the podcast covers cases that are dismissed on procedural grounds, and not on the merits. This includes City of Boise v. Martin (criminalizing homelessness), NY Rifle Assoc. v. NYC (criminalizing gun travel), and Trump v. Vance (bird-doggin' those tax returns). Law starts at (06:20), but the podcast ends with KING OF THE JUICES!!
The Supreme Court heard a case about the Second Amendment… or was it about mootness? I also talk about the duty of care owed to hockey players.Music Cred: http://www.bensounds.com
Nationwide injunction critics say the remedy prevents lower court percolation; the 9th Circuit will test that thesis after ordering briefing on whether an injunction from Pennsylvania moots the local appeal. Scholars Howard Wasserman (FIU Law) and Alan Trammell (Univ. Arkansas Law) offer competing views.

Harken back to the good old days of four weeks ago, when the worst thing going on was Gil v. Whiteford getting dismissed on standing issues and Brett's Netflix being mildly frustrating. Brett and Nazim (full of youthful vigor) discuss the state of gerrymandering lawsuits going forward, and add in the case of United States v. Sanchez-Gomez, which dismissed a courtroom shackles case on account of mootness. Law starts at (07:43).
On this episode of Court Appointed Mike and Tommy discuss the 22nd Amendment and why it may be of interest these days. Just for good measure, let's throw in a dash of 12th Amendment and enjoy the "Interplay". Whoa, that sounds smutty !! The Court is now in Session with music, "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" by MCRB.
It's been a while since we've gotten into the background of the Supreme Court, so this week, Brett and Nazim discuss the self-imposed scope of the Supreme Court's Power by way of a weird behind-the-scenes nuance of the San Francisco v. Sheehan case on police force. Much like any powerful individuals with unfettered power, the Supreme Court has had a strange amount of discretion in the limits of what it can do under the Constitution and has defined its role in the government carefully. By discussing judicial review, Marbury v. Madison, and standing, Brett and Nazim illustrate how they're basically a government institution with the same morals as Spiderman.
