Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Despite questions raised as to our subject matter jurisdiction, we conclude we have jurisdiction, and we affirm the district court's conclusion that the Act is constitutional.”
“For the reasons we set forth above, we affirm the district court.”
“The petition is dismissed in part and denied in part.”
“For the foregoing reasons, we deny the petition for review.”
“But we think neither Party's arguments are persuasive, so we dismiss the appeal for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.”
“But the record backs the agency's findings, and its conclusions follow logically. We affirm.”
“Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.”
“We therefore grant the parties' petitions for review, vacate the Commission's order, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“We grant the City's petitions and remand for further proceedings to the agency.”
“We think that the Administrator's interpretation of the statute was in the main acceptable, but he appears to have relied on several factors that are unreasonable because logically impossible to satisfy; therefore, we remand.”
