Texas Rural Legal Aid v. Legal Serv. Corp.

2 Citing cases

  1. National Family Plan., Reprod. Health. v. Gonzales

    391 F. Supp. 2d 200 (D.D.C. 2005)

    The parties agree that plaintiff here is "essentially challenging only the facial validity of [the Amendment], as opposed to any specific instance of its enforcement." Tex. Rural Legal Aid, Inc. v. Legal Servs. Corp., 783 F. Supp. 1426, 1429 (D.D.C. 1992). NFPRHA's arguments against the Weldon Amendment fall short of this exacting standard.

  2. Regional Management v. Legal Services

    10 F. Supp. 2d 565 (D.S.C. 1998)   Cited 2 times

    2. Standard of Review RMC must show, as a matter of law, that LSC had no rational basis for its decision in this case. Texas Rural Legal Aid, 940 F.2d at 697. In reviewing the decision, the court looks to "all of the evidence." NationalClients Council, Inc., 617 F. Supp. at 485. In viewing this evidence, the court must determine only if LSC based its decision on logic and reason, not if the decision is completely without error. "The test is not whether an agency's reasons are correct, but whether they are rationally based." Texas Rural Legal Aid v. Legal Services Corp., 783 F. Supp. 1426, 1428 (D.D.C. 1992). Furthermore, "issues of law or procedure are properly questions for the [c]ourt to review de novo." National Clients Council, Inc., 617 F. Supp. at 485. Therefore, the court now turns to the substance of the instant action. B. LSC's Decision
