YANIRIS CAPELLAN and LF FOOD MARKET CORP., Plaintiffs, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and SONNY PERDUE, SECRETARY, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Defendants.
JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Order dated March 4, 2020, Plaintiffs have not adduced evidence that would allow a jury to conclude that FNS's determination that they engaged in trafficking of SNAP benefits was invalid. Plaintiffs also have not presented evidence showing that they should have been afforded the opportunity to pay a monetary penalty instead of being disqualified from SNAP. And Plaintiffs have abandoned their APA and regulatory claims. Defendants' motion for summary judgment is, therefore, GRANTED; accordingly, the case is closed. Dated: New York, New York
