Cramer v. DOJ

Case: 26-1404 Document: 10 Page: 1 Filed: 06/29/2026

NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ JOHN CRAMER, Petitioner v. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Respondent ______________________ 2026-1404 ______________________ Petition for review of a decision of the Bureau of Justice Assistance in PSOB Claim No. 2013-DIS-047. ______________________ ON MOTION ______________________ Before PROST, MAYER, and CUNNINGHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

ORDER John Cramer appeals from a December 22, 2025 deci- sion of the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice As- sistance. The Department of Justice moves to dismiss or, alternatively, to remand, noting that on March 16, 2026, the Bureau purported to sua sponte rescind that Case: 26-1404 Document: 10 Page: 2 Filed: 06/29/2026

2 CRAMER v. DOJ determination for purposes of reconsideration. Mr. Cramer does not oppose remand.

It is within this court’s discretion to remand to allow the agency to reconsider its previous position. See SKF USA Inc. v. United States, 254 F.3d 1022, 1029 (Fed. Cir. 2001). Without drawing any conclusions regarding the merits of the parties’ arguments, the court agrees that re- mand here could preserve party and judicial resources.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The Department’s motion is granted to the extent that the case is remanded to the Bureau for further pro- ceedings consistent with this order, the Department’s mo- tion, and the recission memorandum. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
