Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal from the Merit System Protection Board and one Rule 36 judgment. This morning, the court released three precedential opinions, two nonprecedential opinions, one nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal, and two Rule 36 judgments. Two of the precedential opinions came in cases appealed from the Court of Federal Claims. The third addressed a petition for review of a decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board. Notably, while Judge Reyna concurred in the panel’s decision to affirm the Merit Systems Protection Board’s dismissal of the petitioner’s appeal, he wrote separately to express his view that the governing law represented an “unjust principle.” The two nonprecedential opinions come in patent cases decided by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the Rule 36 judgments and dismissals.
