Question presented

This petition seeks only a Grant, Vacate, and Remand (GVR) Order. This petition seeks a GVR Order regarding two judgments by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Appeal 2020-1993, and Joint Appeal 2020-1925 and 2020-1926. The question presented is the same in both instances. The single question presented is whether the Federal Circuit’s summary decisions below should be vacated and these cases remanded to cure the constitutional violation in accordance with this Court’s decision in Arthrex.
