  United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, known informally as the "D.C. Circuit", is the federal appellate court for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Appeals from the D.C. Circuit, as with all the U.S. Courts of Appeals, are heard on a discretionary basis by the Supreme Court.
It should not be confused with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, which is roughly equivalent to a state supreme court in the District of Columbia.

 MAY 28, 1999 COURT DECISION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
On May 28, 1999, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued its decision regarding the National Mining Association's challenge to the Office of Surface Mining's interim final ownership and control rules (62 FR 19450, April 21, 1997).
In consolidated district court ac- tions the National Mining Association (NMA) challenged all three final rules and the district court granted summary judgment to OSM in each action.
The Arch court, however, based its holding on the premise that, contrary to OSM's position, a permit block is an "action, suit or proceeding for the enforcement of any civil fine, penalty, or forfeiture," without considering whether the Congress in enacting SMCRA intended to exempt such blocks from section 2462.

 Eagle Forum and Cato Institute Amicus in Eldred v. Ashcroft
The instant case raises squarely the question of the role of amici in the federal courts and thus is of central interest to Cato and the Center.2 SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT This case raises important issues regarding the constitu- tional constraints upon Congress's copyright powers that have divided the courts of appeals.
The broad circuit split regarding whether supplemental amicus arguments not expressly adopted by the parties may be considered by the courts of appeals should be resolved by this Court.
Because Federal Rule 29 eschews such a useless and court-burdening role for amici, and because the circuits are split over this important question for the administration of the appellate courts, this Court should grant the petition and re-establish the uniform and sensible approach contemplated by Rule 29.

United States, 488 U.S. Although this Court has not struck down a congressional delegation since the early New Deal (id., 488 U.S. at 373), the "intelligible principle" standard is not the child of an out-of-date court, as so many critics of the "nondelegation doctrine" insist.

Columbia's (undisputed) claim of eligibility as a "[c]ommon carrier[ ] engaged directly or indirectly in the business of affording public landline message telephone service" in the St. James RSA was based on its affiliation with Reserve Telephone Company, a small, independent, rural telephone company operating a wireline
BellSouth and Columbia each filed petitions for reconsideration of the MSD order, arguing that to allow an applicant providing only non-wireline service to apply for frequencies set aside for providers of "landline" service would violate the plain meaning of the regulation.
Finally, MobileTel argues that the Commission acted arbitrarily and capriciously in dismissing its applications because MobileTel and Columbia had arrived at a settlement agreement, and the Commission failed to consider the possibility that dismissing MobileTel's application would contravene the purpose of the Commission's directives encouraging mutually-exclusive applicants to create such agreements.

 The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Today Addressed Rural Telephone Carrier ...
Although the court found that any failure to comply with the APA was harmless, the court held that the FCC had failed to consider the impact of its action on small wireless carriers and rural telephone companies as required by the RFA.
In the Wireless Case (which involved the obligations of wireless carriers to port numbers to one another), the Court determined that the obligations imposed by the FCC flowed from its previous number portability order and that the Wireless-to-Wireless Order, therefore, was an interpretive order that did not require further action under the APA or RFA.
Now that the court has stayed the enforcement of the Intermodal Order, the FCC will have to consider rural rating and routing issues that have been pending for years.
