One of the nonprecedential orders summarily affirms an appeal from the Court of Federal Claims, one comes in response to a patent case appealed form the International Trade Commission, two come in response to petitions to review final decisions of the Merit Systems Protection Board, and three dismiss appeals. Here are the introductions to the opinions and the orders other than dismissals, as well as links to the dismissals.
