11th Circuit Won't Rehear Gray Forfeiture Case

The 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has denied Gray’s April petition for a rehearing of its legal challenge against a $518,283 forfeiture imposed by the FCC, said an order Friday. Gray had sought rehearing en banc (see 2504220052) in the wake of the 5th Circuit’s recent ruling against the FCC over a penalty assessed against AT&T (see 2504180021). “The Petition for Rehearing En Banc is DENIED, no judge in regular active service on the Court having requested that the Court be polled on rehearing en banc,” said Friday’s order. In March, the 11th Circuit upheld the FCC’s forfeiture order against Gray over a violation of ownership rules (see 2503070004) but vacated the penalty because the agency didn’t adequately provide notice that the violation was “egregious.”
