This morning, the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential opinions and four nonprecedential orders. Two of the opinions come in cases appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board; the third comes in a patent case appealed from the Central District of California. As for today’s orders, one denies a petition for a writ of mandamus in a case addressing veterans law, one dismisses a case for lack of jurisdiction, one grants an agreed motion to dismiss, and one transfers an employment discrimination case to the Eastern District of Texas. Here are the introductions to the opinions and substantive orders, along with a link to the agreed dismissal.
Camacho v. Department of the Army (Nonprecedential)
Rosie Camacho petitions for review of a decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board denying her request for corrective action. Because Ms. Camacho fails to identify any reversible error, we affirm.
Goodwin v. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (Nonprecedential)
Kiwanna Goodwin petitions for review of a final decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The Board denied Ms. Goodwin’s request for corrective action. We affirm.
Gurvey v. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (Nonprecedential)
Amy Weissbrod Gurvey appeals orders from the United States District Court for the Central District of California granting Appellees’ motions to dismiss. For the reasons stated below, we affirm.
In re Thurman (Nonprecedential Order)
Sharon Thurman petitions this court for a writ of mandamus for various relief related to a veterans benefits claim.
On May 12, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims remanded Ms. Thurman’s claim for accrued benefits for readjudication at the agency level. Thurman v. McDonough, No. 18-5729 (Vet. App. May 12, 2022). Ms. Thurman contends that she received no notice of the remand decision and learned about it only after being contacted by an appointed representative for her case. She also states that the Board of Veterans’ Appeals issued a post-remand decision on November 17, 2022, denying her claim.
Midkiff v. Department of Commerce (Nonprecedential Order)
Anastasia Midkiff filed an appeal at the Merit Systems Protection Board challenging her removal. The Board affirmed and rejected her claim of disability discrimination. Ms. Midkiff seeks our review, and in response to the court’s show cause order, the agency urges dismissal. Ms. Midkiff has not responded.
Moreno v. Nizer (Nonprecedential Order)
The United States District Court for the District of Colorado dismissed Rosalyn E. Moreno’s complaint against Maryland state officials and employees, asserting state claims and violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Privacy Act, and the False Claims Act. She appealed to both this court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Following a show cause order, we dismiss.
