Fraternal Order of Police, United States Park Police Labor Committee v. Department of the Interior

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 2021-1690 · judgment June 8, 2022


Certiorari denied · January 9, 2023
At-filing estimate: 2% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a petition under 3,000 words, though a federal-government petitioner counted the other way.

Question presented

Whether the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s interpretation of 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(1) is incorrect in finding that an employee’s union, on the employee’s behalf and with the employee’s consent, does not have standing to seek judicial review under that statute?
