Sacramento Municipal Utility Dist. v. Federal Energy Regulatory Comm’n

Ct. of Appeals denied petitioner’s “unopposed” motion to transfer appeal to District of Columbia Circuit. Under 28 USC section 2112(a), Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation will chose circuit court by lot where multiple petitions are filed, and petitioner cannot use unopposed motion to bypass procedures under section 2112(a) for selecting circuit court as long as instant petition remained on file.
