Rail-Term Corp. v. Surface Transportation Board

ORDER Per Curiam Upon consideration of the motion to dismiss, the opposition thereto, and the reply, it is ORDERED the motion to dismiss be granted. Petitioner has not shown that the Surface Transportation Board reopened proceedings and issued a new and final order. See Am. Ass’n of Paging Carriers v. FCC, 442 F.3d 751, 756 (D.C. Cir. 2006) (“Reopening ... does not necessarily occur by dint of an agency’s consideration of the merits.”). Moreover, an agency’s denial of reconsideration is unreviewable where, as here, the petition for reconsideration was based on material error. See ICC v. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, 482 U.S. 270, 278, 107 S.Ct. 2360, 96 L.Ed.2d 222 (1987). Finally, an intent to challenge the underlying Rail Carrier Decision cannot be fairly inferred from the petition for review and contemporaneous filings. See Entravision Holdings LLC v. FCC, 202 F.3d 311, 313 (D.C. Cir. 2000). Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
