Bikini v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Bikini v. United States, 859 F.2d 1482 (Fed. Cir. 1988)

Bikini v. United States

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

NIES, Circuit Judge.

All appellants in Docket No. 88-1206, which is part of the above captioned consolidated appeal, move this court under Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 42(b) to dismiss their appeal docketed as No. 88-1206.

That request is based upon P.L. No. 100-466, signed into law by the President on September 27, 1988. That law provides, in part, for the appropriation of $90 million over a five year period for the purpose of funding the Resettlement Trust Fund for the People of Bikini. That fund was established under P.L. No. 97-257. Payment of the funds is conditioned, in part, on the voluntary dismissal with prejudice of Appeal No. 88-1206, by the People of Bikini.

Upon consideration of the motion, and because there is no opposition to the motion,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

(1) Appeal No. 88-1206 is dismissed with prejudice.
(2) Both parties shall bear their own costs.
(3) Any further fees due to this court in connection with Appeal No. 88-1206 shall be paid by appellants in that appeal.
