Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal. This morning, the court released a precedential opinion in a vaccine case and a nonprecedential opinion in a pro se case. The court also released an errata and another nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the errata and dismissals.
White v. Secretary of Health and Human Services (Precedential)
Ronald E. White appeals from a decision of the United States Court of Federal Claims (“the Claims Court”) sustaining a special master’s denial of his claim for compensation under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 et seq. (“the Vaccine Act”). White v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., 168 Fed. Cl. 660 (2023) (“Claims Court Decision”); White v. Sec’y of Health & Hum. Servs., No. 20-1319V, 2023 WL 4204568 (Fed. Cl.

Winfield v. Department of the Navy (Nonprecedential)
Billy Winfield appeals the Merit Systems Protection Board’s final decision denying his petition for review and affirming the administrative judge’s initial decision, which denied Mr. Winfield’s request for corrective action under the Whistleblower Protection Act and Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act. Because the Board’s decision was in accordance with the law and supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
