9th Circuit Wins Lottery for Net Neutrality Repeal Case

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was picked to hear net neutrality repeal litigation, the FCC confirmed Thursday. The 9th Circuit was "randomly selected" by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, said an order a commission spokesman passed along after we inquired.

The FCC had told (in Pacer) the panel there were 10 petitions for review filed in the D.C. Circuit and two in the 9th Circuit.

Parties could still file a motion to transfer the case back to the D.C. Circuit. The decision would be up to the 9th Circuit.
