United States Postal Service v. Postal Regulatory Commission
Opinion of the Court
JUDGMENT
This case was considered on the record from the Postal Regulatory Commission and the briefs and arguments of the parties. The Court has accorded the issues full consideration and has determined that they do not warrant a published opinion. See D.C. CiR. R. 36(d). It is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the petition for review is dismissed.
The United States Postal Service (“USPS”) petitions for review of the Postal Regulatory Commission’s (“PRC”) Order No. 536, wherein the PRC adopted an
We determine the petition to be unripe. The PRC has not yet adopted a single subset of Single-Piece First-Class Mail to serve as the benchmark for determining the workshare discount, see PRC Order No. 536, at 8, and a rulemaking is currently underway to make that determination. Under the prudential doctrine of ripeness, we conclude that the court “would benefit from postponing review until the policy in question has sufficiently ‘crystallized’ by taking on a more definite form.” Cronin v. FAA, 73 F.3d 1126, 1131 (D.C.Cir. 1996).
The petition for review is dismissed.
Pursuant to Rule 36 of this Court, this disposition will not be published.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. RApp. P. 41(b); D.C.Cir. R. 41.
