The Application

History

Judge Young granted summary judgment for plaintiffs, finding that the grant terminations violated the APA by failing to provide reasoned explanation and proper procedure. The government appealed this decision, arguing the First Circuit should reverse the lower court's determination.

The Conclusion

The case is currently on appeal in the First Circuit; the lower court's summary judgment for plaintiffs remains in effect pending the appellate court's review and decision.
