This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, three nonprecedential opinions, three nonprecedential orders, and three Rule 36 judgments. The precedential opinion comes in an appeal of a decision of the Court of Federal Claims in a government contract case. All three nonprecedential opinions come in pro se appeals of decisions of the Court of Federal Claims. Two of the orders grant motions to transfer appeals; the other order dismisses an appeal. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the orders and judgments.
Life Science Logistics, LLC v. United States (Precedential)
The government appeals from a judgment of the Court of Federal Claims declaring that an agency’s decision to override an automatic statutory stay of performance of a newly awarded contract was arbitrary and capricious. Appellee Life Science Logistics, LLC (“LSL”) contends that the government’s appeal is moot and we should, therefore, dismiss it for lack of jurisdiction. In the alternative, LSL asks us to affirm the trial court on the merits. We conclude that the exception to mootness for disputes that are capable of repetition yet evading review is applicable here, giving us jurisdiction to reach the merits. Doing so, we agree with the Court of Federal Claims. Thus, we affirm.
Augusta v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Anthony M. Augusta appeals a decision by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (“Claims Court”) dismissing his complaint for lack of jurisdiction. App’x 25–26. For the following reasons, we affirm.
Dreiling v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Staff Sergeant Justin Paul Dreiling appeals a decision of the United States Court of Federal Claims dismissing his complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We affirm.
Monbo v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Dee Monbo appeals the United States Court of Federal Claims’ order dismissing her pre-award bid protest complaint for failure to prosecute. We affirm.
