Each judgment states: "NOTE: This disposition is nonprecedential." Each reads: "PER CURIAM (PROST, TARANTO, and STARK, Circuit Judges). AFFIRMED. See Fed. Cir. R. 36."

Affirmance of the Board

Each judgment states that the cause was heard and considered, and orders the appeal affirmed under Federal Circuit Rule 36. The judgments affirm the Board in those two proceedings.

Affirmance without opinion

Federal Circuit Rule 36(a), in the court's October 6, 2026 rules, provides that the court may enter a judgment of affirmance without opinion, citing the rule, when it determines that any of the conditions the rule lists exists and an opinion would have no precedential value. The listed conditions are that the judgment, decision, or order of the trial court appealed from is based on findings that are not clearly erroneous; that the evidence supporting the jury's verdict is sufficient; that the record supports summary judgment, directed verdict, or judgment on the pleadings; that the decision of an administrative agency warrants affirmance under the standard of review in the statute authorizing the petition for review; or that a judgment or decision has been entered without an error of law. The judgments in Nos. 2025-1484 and 2025-1485 are affirmances without opinion.
