As for pending petitions, since our last update, four new petitions were filed in a government contract case, a patent case, and two pro se cases; one waiver of the right to respond to a petition was filed in a case originally decided by the Merit Systems Protection Board; two reply briefs were filed in a takings case and a patent case; and the Supreme Court denied three petitions in a trade case, a takings case, and a veterans case. Here are the details.

This morning, the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential opinions and three Rule 36 judgments. All three opinions come in pro se appeals. Two come in appeals of decisions of the Merit Systems Protection Board, and one comes in an appeal of a decision of the Court of Federal Claims. Here are introductions to the opinions and links to the Rule 36 judgments.

One denies a petition for a writ of mandamus, one transfers a case, two dismiss appeals, and one grants an agreed motion to remand a case.
