Burkett v. Layton

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “The use of a document to justify an assertion or proposition indicates that the [agency] consulted and thought about—and therefore considered—that document directly[.]”
• “The administrative record consists of all documents and materials that the agency directly or indirectly considered, no more and no less.” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• “[T]he mere mention of a document in the agency’s decision or the record does not always mean, ipso facto, that the agency considered the document.” (citing Franks v. Salazar, 751 F. Supp. 2d 62, 69 (D.D.C. 2010))
• “In light of the presumption of regularity that is afforded an agency’s certification that it compiled the complete record, it is not enough for [the plaintiff] to simply contend, as it does here, that the agency must add all the documents it considered.”
