Employer That Failed to Personally Transmit Filed Petition for Review to NLRB Lost Chance for Selected Forum: DC Circuit | Practical Law
In Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC v. NLRB, the employer and union petitioned for review of the same National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) order in the US Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia and Ninth Circuits, respectively. The DC Circuit transferred the employer's petition for review to the Ninth Circuit to consolidate the matters, holding that the employer lost its chance for obtaining review in its selected forum under 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a) because it, unlike the union, failed to personally transmit a court-and-date-stamped copy of its filed petition to the NLRB within ten days of its filing.
