Federal judge sez no to Holder's contempt case appeal |
2013-11-19 |
[Politico] A federal judge has refused Attorney General Eric Holder's request that he be allowed to proceed now with an appeal in a case where the House of Representatives is seeking to enforce subpoenas for documents related to the controversial Operation F&F gun investigation. In a ruling Monday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said her September 30 ruling rejecting Holder's request to dismiss the lawsuit was not such a close call that it deserved immediate review from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. "While the Court agrees with defendantÂ’s characterization of the matter as significant, that is not the test," Jackson wrote in her new four-page decision posted here. |
