Fox River Neighborhood Ass'n v. Surface Transportation Board
Opinion of the Court
JUDGMENT
This petition for review was considered on the record from the Surface Transportation Board (STB) and on the briefs of counsel. The Court has accorded the issues full consideration and has determined that they occasion no need for a published opinion. See D.C.Cir. Rule 36(b). It is
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the petition for review be denied. Petitioners challenge the STB’s 1995 notice of interim trail use (NITU) and seven subsequent extensions of the NITU. We lack jurisdiction to review the NITU and first six extensions. Petitioners did not appeal from the STB’s original decisions in these matters, and the time to do so has now expired. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 2342(5), 2344. Petitioners’ 1998 request for reconsideration by the STB raised no issues of fact or law that could not have been raised earlier; it merely charged that the STB had committed material error. Under ICC v. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, 482 U.S. 270, 278-84, 107 S.Ct. 2360, 96 L.Ed.2d 222 (1987), we lack jurisdiction to review the STB’s denial of such a request.
Although we may review petitioners’ timely challenge to the seventh
The clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C.Cir. Rule 41.
