Notable cases
A notable case on this page needs to be updated.
WaMu/FDIC
Judge Collyer is presiding in a case involving Washington Mutual and the Federal Deposit Insurance Company. The bank is suing the FDIC after their assets were seized by the FDIC after accepting money from the Trouble Asset Relief Program. The case is being put on hold as a similar case in the District of Delaware was pending at the time of Judge Collyer's ruling[2].
Livestock outbreak lawsuit
On July 23, 2009, Judge Collyer dismissed a lawsuit filed by a group of Michigan farmers attempting to stop a national program designed to track and combat disease outbreaks among livestock[3].
The farmers claimed that the National Animal Identification System, which is designed to identify and monitor farm animals, violated their religious freedom[3].
The judge ruled that the program was not a law, but an incentive-laden program that states could choose to join or not join[3].
