Commonwealth of VA v. United States
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (1996) | 74 F.3d 517
TL;DR: Virginia challenged Clean Air Act provisions in district court. The court affirmed dismissal, holding that Clean Air Act § 307(b)(1) grants exclusive jurisdiction to Courts of Appeals for reviewing final EPA actions, even for constitutional claims.
Legal Significance: Reinforces that statutory schemes granting exclusive appellate court review of agency actions, like CAA § 307(b)(1), divest district courts of subject matter jurisdiction, even for constitutional challenges implicating final agency action.
