Summary: An accountant regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a company regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed suit in federal district court alleging that the Commissions were unconstitutional as structured.

Bittner v. United States

MACREADS.COM

09/04/23 • 48 min

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 28, 2023, opinion in Bittner v. United States.

Summary: The Government fined an individual $2.72 million for failing to file timely reports disclosing 272 foreign accounts as required by the Bank Secrecy Act. The individual challenged the fine, arguing that it should have been calculated based on the number of untimely reports, not the number of accounts involved. SCOTUS held that under the Act, the maximum penalty for a nonwillful failure to file a report accrues on a per-report, not a per-account, basis.

MACREADS.COM

09/14/23 • 13 min

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's March 21, 2023, opinion in Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools.
Summary: A deaf student argued that his school district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to accommodate his disability in public school and preventing him from graduating. The school district successfully moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required the student to first exhaust administrative procedures under that statute before suing under the ADA for compensatory damages. SCOTUS held that the student was not required to exhaust administrative procedures under the IDEA before filing suit for compensatory damages under the ADA.

Summary: Montana property owners sued the United States under the Quiet Title Act, alleging that the Government's 1962 road easement on their property did not permit public access. The Government successfully moved to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, arguing that the property owners' claim was barred by the Act's 12-year time bar. The intermediate appellate court affirmed. SCOTUS held that the Act's 12-year provision was a nonjurisdictional claims-processing rule and, thus, reversed and remanded.
