This morning, the Federal Circuit released two nonprecedential opinions. One of the opinions came in a government contract case appealed from the Court of Federal Claims. The other opinion came in a case appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board. The Federal Circuit also released two nonprecedential orders dismissing appeals. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the dismissals.
Keyes Helium Company, LLC v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Keyes Helium Company, LLC and its subrogated insurers (collectively, “Keyes”) appeal from a final judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims (“the Claims Court”) dismissing various claims arising from a contract for the storage and delivery of helium with the United States (“the government”). See Keyes Helium Co., LLC v. United States, 167 Fed. Cl. 283 (2023), J.A. 1–15. For the following reasons, we affirm-in-part, reverse-in-part, vacate-in-part, and remand.
Ruiz v. Department of Homeland Security (Nonprecedential)
Luis Ruiz appeals the Merit Systems Protection Board’s final order denying his petition for review and affirming the administrative judge’s initial decision upholding his removal from his position as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer based on charges of conduct unbecoming and lack of candor. Because the Board’s decision was in accordance with the law and supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
