Court Rejects Effort To Have Comcast Panel Hear Verizon Challenge

The US District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia turned down Verizon's request to have the same panel that ruled in favor of Comcast's challenge to the Federal Communications Commission's network neutrality enforcement action take up Verizon's lawsuit against the agency's latest action on the issue. The court denied Verizon's request without explanation. The court has not taken any action on the merits of Verizon's challenge to the FCC network neutrality order.

"We're pleased with the Court's swift action and look forward to the dismissal of the other part of Verizon's request," Public Knowledge said.
