In a lawsuit that made two trips to the Tenth Circuit, that court ultimately
Marcy's practice focuses ordered reinstatement of the jury's $177 million nuisance verdict, plus
on appellate Ittlgation, over $1 billion in prejudgment interest, in favor of our clients, owners of

Recognized as a leading Resolving a question of first impression, the Ninth Circuit adopted our

After granting our petitions for permissive appeal from separate Oklahoma
and Kansas orders that certified statewide classes in natural gas royalty
actions, the Tenth Circuit issued its first decisions to apply Wal-Mart v. Dukes
and Comcast v. Behrend, and reversed both certifications.
The Federal Circuit affirmed a $24 million judgment for our client, the
inventor of an electric blender jar. rejecting the defendant's multiple
challenges to the Jury's finding of wiflful infringement.
The Tenth Circuit affirmed the Judgment in favor of our client, a federal
receiver in a securities fraud matter, holding that the claimant was property
denied any recovery from the receivership estate.
HOLLAND&HART
In a pro bono civil rights case, the Tenth Circuit twice reversed the entot of
judgment against our client, holding that the district court's rulings on
absolute and qualified immunity were wrong as a matter of law.
Rejecting the plaintiffs' claimed multi-billion dollar interest In the Kasaghan
oil field in the Caspian Sea, developed in part by our oil company client, the
Tenth Circuit afirmed the enw of summary judgment for our client on
statute of limitations grounds.
The Tenth Circuit reversed the entry of Judgment for the claimant In an
ERISA case, holding that the district court improperiy considered evidence
outside the record of our client, the plan administrator. The Supreme Court
denied the claimant's petition for certiorari review.
In another ERISA appeal, the Tenth Circuit again reversed the entry of
summary judgment for the claimant and remanded to allow our client, the
plan administrator, to reconsider the claim and make additional fact
findings.
The Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of all claims in a
natural gas royalty class action against our energy company clients. The
court also reversed the district court's order certifying a statewide class of
plaintiffs.
The Ninth Circuit held that the EPA did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in
allowing the State of Nevada to redesignate one of its clean air areas into
two areas under the Clean Air Act, a ruling that allowed our mining
company client to operate under less restrictive national air quality
standards.
Accepting our construction of damages provisions in the federal Computer
Fraud and Abuse Act, the Ninth Circuit affirmed a jury verdict in favor of our
client.
The Fifth Circuit bucked the tide of routine rejection of claims under the
National Environmental Policy Act, and held inadequate the Air Forces
and FAA's environmental impact statement for the Realistic Bomber
Training Initiative in West Texas.
For our client, the plan administrator, we persuaded the Tenth Circuit to
narrow the circumstances when district courts may admit evidence beyond
that considered by the plan administrator in appeals from denials of benefits
under ERISA.
The Tenth Circuit held that ERISA preempts claims for bad faith breach of an
insurance contract under Wyoming law.
The Ninth Circuit rejected the EPA's jurisdictional arguments and permitted
our client's appeal of EPA enforcement orders to proceed to a decision on
the merits.
