(United States Fourth Circuit) - Vacated the denial of an exemption from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's renewable fuel standard program. A small refinery sought an extension of its exemption from EPA's renewable fuel standard program, which requires refineries and other facilities to allocate a certain percentage of their fuel production to renewable fuels. When the EPA denied the request for an extension, the refinery petitioned the Fourth Circuit, which concluded that the EPA's decision was arbitrary and capricious. The panel therefore vacated the EPA's denial and remanded for further proceedings.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed in part and reversed in part a judgment that three police officers were terminated because they blew the whistle on what they viewed as corruption within a police department. After a jury found in the officers' favor, they appealed certain pre-trial and post-trial rulings. The Fourth Circuit held that the trial judge should not have dismissed the officers' First Amendment claims against the town, and also reversed the judge's conclusion that the town's insurance policy covered only $1 million of the aggregate damages.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Denied a legal challenge filed by environmental groups seeking to prevent the construction of a natural gas pipeline across part of Virginia. The environmental groups argued that the Commonwealth of Virginia had improperly certified that the pipeline project would not degrade the state's water. Unpersuaded, the Fourth Circuit, which had jurisdiction over the case by federal statute, concluded that Virginia's issuance of a Clean Water Act certification was not arbitrary and capricious, and thus denied the environmental groups' petition for review.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Held that the United States should be substituted as a party defendant in a lawsuit in which two defendants were tobacco industry businesspeople who had agreed to perform undercover work for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The question before the Fourth Circuit was whether the United States should be substituted as a party defendant. The panel held that the answer was yes, and thus reversed the district court's ruling on the matter.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed an administrative decision ordering a lawful permanent resident removed from the United States. The British citizen had pleaded guilty under New Jersey's generic conspiracy statute to agreeing with another person to commit a crime. On appeal, he argued that the crime to which he pleaded guilty was not a controlled-substance offense within the meaning of the immigration law provision upon which his removal was based, but the Fourth Circuit rejected his argument and, in a 2-1 decision, denied his petition for review.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Rejected a constitutional challenge to Virginia's interdiction statute, under which a person can be civilly designated a habitual drunkard and subject to restrictions on using or possessing alcohol. Four homeless people suffering from alcoholism who each had been prosecuted at least eleven times for violating their interdiction orders challenged the statute's constitutionality under the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on criminalizing status, and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of Due Process and Equal Protection. Affirming dismissal of their putative class action, the Fourth Circuit held that they failed to state a claim.
