This morning the Federal Circuit released a precedential opinion in combined appeals from the Court of International Trade as well as a nonprecedential order dismissing a petition for permission to appeal. Late Friday the court also released two nonprecedential orders dismissing appeals. Here are the introductions to the opinion and orders.
M S International, Inc. v. United States (Precedential)
In parallel antidumping and countervailing duty investigations of quartz surface products from China, the Department of Commerce amended the scope of its investigations to prevent producers and exporters in China from evading its orders by using glass in place of quartz. Bruskin International LLC challenges Commerce’s authority to modify the scope of the investigation and to do so without a hearing. Bruskin also challenges the factual findings that led Commerce to modify the scope of its investigations. Because Commerce has discretion to set the scope of its investigations, Bruskin’s hearing request was untimely, and substantial evidence supports Commerce’s factual findings, we affirm the Court of International Trade’s decision upholding Commerce’s scope modification.
United States v. Johnson (Nonprecedential Order)
Erika Johnson petitions for permission to appeal a 2014 judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in a criminal proceeding.
This court is a court of limited jurisdiction, which does not include review of criminal matters. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction to entertain Ms. Johnson’s petition.

The parties having so agreed, it is ordered that:
(1) The proceeding is DISMISSED under Fed. R. App. P. 42 (b).
