The California Table Grape Comm’n v. Delano Farms Co.

Petition for certiorari denied on November 26, 2012
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
11-1371 Fed. Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2012
 

Issue: Whether the waiver of sovereign immunity in the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 702, applies to a claim that does not challenge the legality of “agency action” or “final agency action” within the meaning of the Administrative Procedure Act -- or even any government action or inaction of any kind -- but instead challenges the validity of government-owned property based solely on actions by private parties.
