Instructions

File in the appropriate U.S. District Court or Court of Appeals as specified by the agency's enabling statute. Demonstrate that you have exhausted administrative remedies and the agency action is final. State the legal standard of review (arbitrary and capricious, substantial evidence, or de novo). Request the court to set aside the agency action. File within the applicable statute of limitations, typically 60 days for many agency actions.
