Questions presented

  1. Should an administrative agency’s refusal to act on a tenant’s succession application for many years and its failure to give the tenant a hearing on his succession claim be reversed because it violates the tenant’s right to a trial or jury trial under this court’s ruling in SEC v. Tarkesy, 144 S.Ct. 2117, 219 L.Ed.2d 650 (2023)?

  2. Should the courts below have exercised their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency acted within its statutory authority – as this Court required in its ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 144 S.Ct. 224, 219 L. Ed 2d 832 (2024)?
