Some Missouri landowners along the planned Rock Island Trail might now be able to get compensation for the use of their land. A U.S. Appeals Court ruled in February that the conversion of the trail, formerly a railroad line, constituted a legal "taking."
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit found the government isn't liable for damages when it fails to pay employees on time during government shutdowns.
Judge Ends Amazon Challenge to $10 Billion Cloud Contract After Pentagon Cancellation
WASHINGTON A judge on Friday dismissed Amazon.com’s legal challenge to the Defense Department’s 2019 decision to award a $10 billion JEDI cloud-computing project to rival Microsoft Corp after the Pentagon canceled the contract.
Amazon.com had accused then-President Donald Trump, alleging that the former president exerted improper pressure on military officials to steer the contract away from Amazon. The Pentagon said on Tuesday it expected the new multi-billion dollar contract would be split between Amazon and Microsoft.
Amazon did not object to dismissing its 2019 lawsuit.
Judge Patricia E. Campbell-Smith of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims agreed to dismiss the lawsuit at the government’s request, saying the case was now moot.
