Status
More on how this was screened
The court rejected National Wrestling's holding that the APA's adequate remedy bar limits the waiver of sovereign immunity under § 702. Its standing analysis and other holdings remain unaffected. All 35 flagged citations have been read, and the 2 confirmed adverse treatments are listed below.
35 later cases cite National Wrestling Coaches Ass'n v. Department of Education; 35 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Perry Capital LLC v. Steven Mnuchin · D.C. Circuit · filed
The holding of Trudeau and its endorsement in Cohen clearly override National Wrestling and Transohio Savings: We see no textual or logical basis for construing § 704 — which limits judicial review to “final agency action for which there is no other adequate remedy” — to condition a waiver of sovereign immunity on the absence of an adequate remedy but not on the presence of final agency action.
