Hanson v. Madigan

OPINION AND ORDER

CRABB, Chief Judge.

This is an action for review of an agency decision or for declaratory relief brought pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 701, et seq. Plaintiffs are challenging defendant’s decision to deny them payments under the Disaster Assistance Act of 1988. Defendant found plaintiffs to be persons whose qualifying gross revenues exceeded $2 million annually, and thus ineligible for disaster payments. Plaintiffs contend that defendant’s decision is arbitrary, capricious and contrary to law. The case is before the court on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. 1

I conclude…
