FCC Asks for Another Abeyance in 9th Circuit Case

The FCC has again asked the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to continue holding in abeyance a League of California Cities challenge to the FCC’s June 2020 wireless infrastructure declaratory ruling. The court has approved multiple previous abeyance requests (see 2207290029) , stretching back to March 2021. The last abeyance was granted in July, and ran out Monday. The current request asks the court to hold the case until Jan. 30. As in previous requests, the FCC argued that the case should be delayed until a fifth commissioner is appointed.
