Questions presented
-
Whether the Court should grant certiorari, vacate the judgment below, and remand (GVR) so that the Federal Circuit may decide this case in light of the Court’s forthcoming decision in Lucia v. SEC, No. 17- 130 (U.S.), on whether administrative law judges (ALJs) must be appointed in accordance with the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
-
Whether 5 C.F.R. §§ 332.404, .405 establish a non-delegable duty that requires a federal agency’s appointing officer to personally review an ALJ candidate’s merit and fitness before the agency may remove that candidate from future consideration for ALJ hiring under § 332.405 (the rule-of-three).
